I have had several people tell me several diffrent answers and I really need to know the right one. They tell me to do it about every 6 months and then another one tells me not to do it too much because it will do damage to my hard-drive so please tell me which is right.

I've gone to my computer and right clicked on DVD/CD Rom and then eject. Nothing happens. I've tried shutting down my computer and repeating the above, nothing happens.

My mouse pointer keeps moving erratically all over the place and randomly clicking on things even though I'm not touching it. It's not wireless so it's got nothing to do with that - it's an optical usb mouse if that helps. If it's not a virus, what the hell is going on and how do I fix it, it's so annoying!

I have an HP ze4900 notebook and the monitor is barely visible. I have tried everything, including downloading and installing new drivers, adjusting the video settings to death etc. The computer works fine with an external monitor but I am unable to read the screen attached without holding it right to my eyes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking at purchasing a decent used or refurbished laptop and I am not sure where to look or what to get. I had an older laptop that crashed a few months ago I don't think the price to try to fix it is worth it considering I purchased it in 1999 or 2000 and I don't even know what's wrong with it. I know the hard drive failed and possibly graphics card due to the lines in the monitor. All I"m looking for is 256-512 mb, 20-40 gb of ram, ethernet port. It doesn't need an OS loaded or any great graphic card, average CPU. Anyone have any suggestions???
