I was wondering exactly what I could do you get the speed back to what it was before? I have ran various virus test and it has come up with nothing. My laptop is about a year and half old. It is the HP pavilion zv5000. I am not sure how to make it go at the previous speed, I am not sure if there is some kind of adware or malicious program on it? Someone told me that I might have to save my information to a disk and format the hard drive. Is this true?

I was given a pc for my daughter & just found out that it can only hold 256 MB RAM total...It had 2 very small hard drives..one 1.5 GB & the other 1 GB..I just replaced the hard drives with one out of my computer that I had upgraded & it is 30 GB...Does the size of the hard drive have anything to do with how much memory your pc can handle or is it how much the motherboard can handle?? I have 2 memory slots DIMM 1 & DIMM 2...now next to the DIMM 2 memory slot is an open space that says DIMM 3...It looks like you could add another memory slot there..But I just dont know..If not what would be the best route to get more memory for her?? New pc?? Or can I replace the motherboard to one that can handle more memory??

First off this question is a 1 sideded one will be up front about it. Those that can answer it are alternative operation system users. That would not touch Microsoft with a pole oh and I am not a pirate (more below) anyway. Disclaimer: Some are not facts but based solely on my opinions and views.

1. Why can't a class action lawsuit be created (by those that can can afford to) for per hard drive sale? That is since all hard drives are being taxed for microsoft operating systems. Also per a purchase of computer equipment, software, since most of it is only for Windows only?

2. How can Microsoft be suing pirates if it forced the market to install Microsoft Operating systems? That is those that would not be able to afford the operating system. Would still require windows. For one linux allows only cost for hardware if one wants to. Since they locked out illegally, through monopoly, bad practices alternatives (web is the witness). It would be best for them to minimize pirate lawsuites.

I have a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L25). I needed to reinstall everything and discovered that the "recovery disc" is actually on the hard drive. I tried the routine from the website (holding 0 while powering up) but this did not work. Does anyone know how to get this done? I called Toshiba, but they wanted $35 just to talk to me.
Help, please

I use my computer ALOT for research. From American History/Civil War Nurses to Herbal Medicines/Cosmetics. I even lost the research behind all my college papers, which I think are backed up on disk, but the only links I have to the research I put into them are the ones I quoted in the bibliographies. All of the internet links I used for my projects were bookmarked in my Favorite's List on my web browser, among other links, of course. In addition to my initial question, I'd like your opinions of any service professional who claims to be able to retrieve my data. I'm strapped for cash, so if you know an inexpensive service professional, I'd appreciate the info. I've been doing this kind of research since I got the computer, it's quite invaluable to me. I NEED MY RESEARCH! I also lost my interior designs, and I was planning to open an inventory business with my computer. With all the info I had stored, I just don't think I can remember all my links. Some were old, but some were brand new.
