I have an Advent 7016 laptop running Windows XP version 5.1.2600 with an Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz about 3 years old. When I switch it off it gains time, sometimes up to 2 months overnight. I can understand losing time as the battery fails but how can it gain time?

Im building a PC for creating music and playing games. I was wondering if anyone has a PC with PC8000 1000Mhz RAM and if they do, whether it is worth the extra hundreds of pounds over PC6400 800Mhz RAM? Plus why is it so hard to find a motherboard that will support PC8000?

The old cd rom works ok, but still it showed no D: Drive. I was going to install a CDburner, and windows cannot find the D; Drive. It doesnt show up in My Computer either. Do I have to reprogram the computer for it to recognize it? I know its there, the old cd rom plays cds and all that just fine, Im not quite sure what happened or how to fix it.

I have an HP Pavilion a1110n desktop computer, and lately it seems to be running slower (but I did virus scans & adware scans) both during startup and when I'm using it. Where can I find what programs are running during startup? Also, could it be a sign of a virus/trojan/malware, etc... if my computer won't let me use the system restore to restore it to an earlier time? Or if I keep getting security warnings when I switch pages online even though I check the box to not see that message again? I don't know what the problem could be. I recently downloaded Unbox from Amazon.com, but I don't see how that could be causing any problems since Amazon is a trusted website. I'm not an advanced computer user at all, so I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any and all help you can provide me, even if it's just a link to a site to help me figure out my computer problems. Thanks again. :)

If so, why is this possible?
I also found file recovery software online, but does it really work, and which is the best and cheapest? Also, is there a way to clean your Harddrive completly if the first question is true.

Write a C program to read a number having more than 5 digits and print whether the given number is divisible by 11 or not by using the algorithm which states that a number is divisible by 11 if and only if the difference of the sums of digits at odd positions and even positions is either zero or divisible by 11.

I need to "repair" a program, and when I had Windows 98 before, I went to "shut down", then to "log on in Dos mode" to do the repair. Now that I am using Windows XP, I cannot find out how to ge to the Dos mode...it is not in the "shut down" window. By the way, I DO need to be in Dos mode to do my repair. Thank you in advance.
