I've tried deleting all my unecessary files and still, at most I have around 1 gb of free space left. The thing is, all my programs and files combined that are left on my harddrive would only take up to 10-15 gb at most.

I have a Dell computer (Precision 220). Whenever I try to log into my user account, I get this message: "You have to install SHDOCVW.dll". How can I install this, and how can I get my desktop back to its original state (with the taskbar and icons in view)? I somehow got to try system restore, but that didn't work.

Help appreciated, thanks.

Please help, I've tried to overclock my system. It's a satellite A55-s326 laptop, and the specs are below:

Pentium M 725 - 1600MHz; (Centrino system)
512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz;
Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME 64MB;
2 GB DDR RAM, PC2700
i855 board

I've used ClockGen, and here are my initial specs:
CPU: 598.65
FSB:99.76
RAM: 166.27

I ran ClockGen with a PLL selected of ICS 952618, and while using prime95 at it's torture test managed to get my overclock to be the following without test failure:

CPU: 680.56
FSB: 113.43
RAM: 189.04

So after gaining these values and saving them for startup on my laptop, I find that after this most of my programs CRASH on me! I ran Sims 2 and it let me know it crashed and would not continue, and I ran Maya 6 and it crashed on me as well.

What am I doing wrong? Am I leaving something out? Should I do another step to prevent the crashing? Or do I have to open up my laptop to do the manual overclocking techniques? Thanks!

My Compaq R3000 laptop often does not use AC power, even when it's been plugged in (and had the plug held in) several times. And, after it gets power, it often powers off within 30 seconds to 1 minute and has to run on the battery (often it can not boot completely without the battery).

Do you know if Compaq will fix this (apparently, I've read, many R3000's have the same problem)? Where's the best place to get it fixed (or is there anywhere I can get good instructions how to fix it myself...I am great at fixing hardware in desktops just have very limited experience with laptops)?

Or is it best to reinstall an entirely new motherboard (and if so, can I upgrade to a core duo motherboard/new processors without causing any conflicts)?

I want to know details on how to make inkjet ink for inkjet printers (black & colour). The ink should be able to be refilled to general Epson/Canon/HP/Lexmark...or general inkjet printers. Maybe I should go to buy chemical stores/buy pigment colour for that ink, etc.

Directions or Explanation on how to mix the "ingridient" for making the best inkjet refill ink for inkjet printers (for Epson, Canon, etc...), plus how's the best way to refill is very appreciated.

Thank you,
Kuoyen
