Looking at properties on my C drive and it states that I have currently used only 13GB (it's a new computer).
Yet, BT informed me that I downloaded over 16GB last month and went over my limit. How is this possible?
Is memory stored elsewhere on the computer? I hardly download anything, just email attachments from friends.

My laptop lately has gotten to where it shocks me almost every single time i touch it, which had made me very paranoid that it's going to catch on fire or explode or something. It's a 2003, so it's about 3 years old. Nothing else in my house has been shocking me, so that makes me think there is something really wrong with my laptop. Now, i do my school on here, and have A LOT to get done in a short period of time, so i can not afford to trash it, and i definately DO NOT have money to buy a new computer, so what should i do? Could it be something that can be repaired, or is it something i do not need to worry about. Getting rid of it is the very last option right now since i need it so bad, and again. I can't afford a new one, i mean come on, i'm in school! Also, it doesn't just shock me when i first touch it, it will shock me almost once every 5-10 minutes, at least!

Hi all, I would just want to make sure something about recovery CD here.
1, if now i use the back-up utility and then burn all my stuffs into the DVD as i follow the instruction, then this burned DVD became my recovery CD and i can just use it when my system crash right?
2, when I bought my computer, it comes with a reinstall CD, this CD can also be the recovery CD right?
3, here i named the original CD comes with the computer CD1, and named the Burned CD CD2, want to make sure the difference between CD1 and CD2 is that after recovery using CD1, my system will go back and looks like the first time i turn it on right? and if recovery with CD2, it will bring my system to the time i burned this CD, then with all the softwares and files i saved/installed on it right?
4, when back-up, I can choose to burn in one DVD or 3 CDs. we know that when doing the recovery, we put in the CD and press F11 as window start. so with just one DVD, no problem, but with 3 CDs, how do we do? can you explain?

I need to replace my DVD drive, it is not reading my discs and I have tried everything to fix it.
So, I need to know what is better to buy. I want a DVD-rw/CD-RW Combo Burner. I like this Sony external drive that I found for $79.00 but it takes 10GB HD space to run. I am not sure if that is alot more than most or not. If there are any other brands that are better or if internal is better I would like tou know what everyone thinks. Thank you. A price level below $120.00 would be helpful.

I looked on the back of the box and there is now this neat little symbol with two freaking dvd's and a pretty little dialog box telling me "THIS DVD IS COPY PROTECTED AND CAN BE PLAYED ONLY ON LICENSED DEVICES." Who out there knows the trick to defeat this latest development? It is not like I want to copy the DVD, I just want to watch the stupid thing on my laptop in the freaking airport!
