my computer is really screwed up.
It has been infected with some type of virus, and my anti virus things, Norton, Windows Defender, and Spybot Search and Destroy fail to locate the problem. It makes my computer unable to start up for HOURS, so i cant turn it off or even put on standby, and the CD/DVD drive/burner is not even registered on the computer, it wont show up in my computer, windows media, nero, iTunes, or ANYTHING. it will not even open, the drive is totally unresponsive. i need to burn my Mp3s to a DVD to save them because i do not want to loose all 1.80 GB of music i have bought or been sent by friends, and if i am ever able to do that i want to blank the whole computer and start from scratch. is it true that FireFox is less likely to get viruses than internet explorer? PLEASE HELP ME! it is driving me truly insane.

My computer has developed a mind of its own! I turn it off and it turns itself back on!!! This happens about 4-5 times in a row, then it remains off...sometimes!!! then in the middle of the night it turns itself on again. That's when I disconnect the power.
Has someone sent a virus or something that has changed its operating system. Is it a bios problem? or a hardware malfunction. The computer works okay otherwise, although I have had it shut off once or twice on its own? I am fairly knowledgeable about computers but not hardware savvy.

Hello, I recently received an HP Pavilion N5425 laptop which needs quite a bit of work. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get any parts for it such as a power supply, memory, hard drive, motherboard, pretty much any of the "guts" of the laptop.

My G4 Power Mac was working fine. Then I moved it to a new office location across town. When I set it up it again, it would not start. Keyboard start key does nothing, power key on the tower lights up when held, but does nothing and goes out wheh released. No previous problems of any kind with this Mac...software or hardware...

I sent a request for a new password. It said it emailed me with instructions on putting in a new password, which i will keep in a safe place this time. (Very rare for me to forget a password!)

I go to my email address at yahoo.com and it doesn't show any email from the site.

Any suggestions? could yahoo just be busy, and it will take a while for the email to come through?

It is running on XP and I have already checked out the power options to make sure that is not what is causing the problem. However, it is not on a UPS. Is that the problem?

Hi there, I am planning on buying a laptop. The one I have chosen has a 2GB RAM / 120GB HD and a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 video. I am wondering if Windows Vista Aero will run on that video chipset from Intel. Thank you.

I drew a picture (obviously) using light lines for armatuer and such, and I used darker lines as I drew. (Basically, a sketch.) When I scan it, however, the only things that show up are the darker lines, while the light lines are almost completely whited out. And when I try to edit it, it only makes the exsiting lines more blue - not more visible. Help!
