I purchased my computer in 2005 and it is run on Windows XP. Recently everytime I turn off the computer or reboot it, the program "Power Meter" comes up and says that it needs to end the program before shutting down the computer. To me, a power problem in a computer can not be any good.

Does anyone have any advice?

I'm a student going to college and I mostly use Windows office programs like Excel, Powerpoint and Word. However, I've been looking at the Macbook and to be honest I wanted to buy one the same day I saw it. It's just so cool and versatile. I don't like big screens and that 13.3" screen on macs are awesome. I also like how it's a white finish and it just looks clean and modern.

I'm trying to decide if I want to get a macbook or a Sony N series, please I'd appreciate any info about these two or if you've used one of these before. Does the GHz make a big diffence because I'm looking at buy a 1.63 or a 1.73. . . does it make that much difference, Thank you.

also, a "system bus" of 533MHz...

I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to buying computers, so i was wondering if these numbers are good or not.

thanks

I own a Compaq Presario laptop (40GB harddrive, 224mb RAM, 787mhz processing speed) - it runs damn slow!
My friend has a 70GB laptop, with 512mb RAM and 1.8ghz processing speed.
I know only a little about computers (and most of that I have forgotten!!) so I'd really like to know if I'm best upgrading the RAM or the processor (if that can be done)?
Also, what minimum RAM would you recommend? Adding another 224mb to get me to the 512mb or going even higher?

I emailed an attachment from a scanner and it was from outlook. It wouldn't send because it said I didn't have a valid account . How do I configure it? I called the printer mfg. They told me it was a software problem, I called compuserve and they said to call microsoft. I didnt have this problem before I had compuserve mail before. I didnt have any attachement problems. I have a Dell A960 printer. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Yes currently i have a 2.99 p4 processor , and i want to upgrade my computer because i have had it for a while and vista is coming out soon. So my main question is how come all the Duo speeds are like 1.8-2.66ghz and for 2.66 is $400 more. Why would they be slower then a regular core processor. Fill me in because i have no idea and do not want to make a bad choice. Thanks for answers
