Mu USB drive could hold up to 500MB of data when i bought it. Now, it can store only about 200MB. Any excess files stored in the drive can't be read. The problem started when I formatted the drive and the storage space has been decreasing ever since.

A friend of mine helped me set up my custom built computer and every time i turn it on, it gets to a screen right before the desktop.

It says user accounts.

and it has my name.
I didnt set it for a password and am glad.

but

I am tired of having to click on my account name-pic everytime i log in.

How do i get rid of this so it will go straight to desktop in case i'm not siting there.

I went into user accounts and looked around but didnt see anything that said how to get rid of it.

My flat can get very cold this time of year and when I try to put my computer on it turns itself off and the light on the front just flashes, once my fire has been on and the room has warmed up, the computer is fine.

Why wont my computer work if it is cold? I hace asked someone with a degree in conmputers and they do not undetrstand why it does it!!

Is there anything I can do (apart from keep my heating on all the time) to stop this happening??

I am wanting to get Vista on my computer. I just got it custom built but could not afford at the time 100 extra to get a new system put in it (had a copy of XP Pro).

But i want to try to get the deal where you buy Pro or Home and get the Vista.

Ok here's my question and its in 2 parts.

1. What does Tech Vista upgrade mean? Does it mean i get a cupon and send it in for a full copy of Vista? Is it free?\

2. I once thought of geting XP 64 bit. My computer is a 64 bit computer. I saw for 130.00 or so, a XP 64 bit with Vista tech upgrade for sale. If i were to buy this would i get the 64 bit Vista with it?


please let me know any information you can on this.
