I am going to be purchasing a new high-performance computer or laptop. Laptop would be preferable for portability reasons, but I realize they are more costly. I need to be able to multi-task using memory and processor-intesive software such as CAD and Excel, as well as have multi-media capabilities and desktop publishing.

I am experimenting on my computer in the BIOS. But I accidentally clicked the Disable command on the Video On-Board. How can I change it back to 32MB because I can't see anything in the monitor. How can I set it back if there is nothing seen in the monitor.

We upgraded from a X800 to an X850 but random power loss was happening with the addition of the power demanding X850, so we switched back to the X800 as a temporary solution, now Windows is just a black screen.

The re-replaced X800 will display BIOS and that loading screen with the Windows logo, but the splash screen and desktop all appear as black. There is sound so we know Windows is there.

I just want my AutoCAD to come back!!!!

I have been trying to file a complaint for over an hour now. Why can't they just simply direct me to the right place to complain to instead of sending me here, here, here, here, and none of which answers my question. I got ripped off by somebody. This same guy, I found out, sold the same laptop on I bid free, ebay and yahoo. I bought and paid for it paid in April. And now nobody wants to know nothing. Ebay says he's no longer allowed to sell on their site.. ibid free says he's no longer allowed to sell, and yahoo just ignores me. What's up? Anybody tell me how i can contact Yahoo and complain to prevent him from selling the same laptop yet again? Yahoo just keeps ignoring me and sending me to stupid places which have nothing to do with my qestion or complaint. How do I finally get somebody from yahoo to listen before this guy sells the same laptop for the 4th time?, which I already bought and paid for back in April!!!

My laptop charger does not charge my battery anymore. It only works as an outlet source but does not charge the laptop battery. I'm not sure if the problem is the battery or the charger.

Please let me know if you think you know what the problem is.
Thanks.
