I can not restore my computer to an earlier date. It doesn't matter what date I choose, it comes back on and says that no changes were made. Pick another date.

Where do they go with them? What do they do with them when they get there?

I see people carrying them around in their bags to school and office.
I dont understand , if you are in a classroom, should you not be
listening to the teacher instead of typing on a computer?
IF you are in your office, should you not have one there ?

Just curious, anybody can tell me what is the reason to carry them everywhere?

From the Vista website: "Suggested retail price for full package product, $399.00 USD. Suggested upgrade retail price, $259.00 USD."

Would going from XP to Vista be considered upgrading and would I be able to get the much lower upgrade price?

do ethnic professors feel this sense of entitlement more than caucasian professors. just wondering, I've worked with some and for the most part, the caucasians act more at ease whereas the ethnic ones act like I HAVE to call them Dr or professor.

what's your take on this ?

My computer gives me 'Error Loading Operating System'. Safe Mode is not accessable. I do not have the disk anymore, it is gone. I have heard it can be the onboard battery. How do I get into safemode? How can I boot windows? I do I save my computer without taking it in to be repaired?
