I left my pc at work for about an hour while I went to lunch and when I came back I caught someone on my pc. They said they were only doing a maintenance upgrade but I've lost some programs on the pc that I need. I think they uninstalled it and looked around my files. Is there a way to see what they did and what folders they went to? Like a registry of events or anything?

How often does Mac have to change their os? You just get used to one os with MS and a new one comes along. If I wanted to run vista it would require a major upgrade so I am toying with the idea of a switch.
I do a lot of video editing and photo editing, and photo dvds on my pc using xp pro and programs like Roxio, Pinnacle, Dvd X Show, ULead... depending on what I am doing at the moment. My favorite photo editing program is still Picture It 99 but not for printing the pics.
What would Macs have to offer for photo and video editing?

An orange arrow lights up when I try to print. Help? It does have paper and ink. Whenever I try to print something, the printer thing on my toolbar will say it is printing even though nothing happens. Then about 2 minutes later it says there was an error.

I have a 4 year old HP laptop with a faulty battery. It's maximum battery usage is 12 min and it will not charge while running. Generaly, it's a pretty fast computer though. Is there anything useful I can use it for?

note: I have a newer PC that I use all the time so I don't want to buy a new (very expensive) battery for the laptop. There was also no recall on the battery or pc, so I'm stuck with it.

Thanks for the help.

I plug them in, but they flicker and won't work on my TV. The cables work fine on everything but my computer. Someone told me its a settings, so, how do I set it? I can't find any settings.

Is it possible that a hard drive problem could make the cd drive not work at all? I'm not talking about wires, or connections either. I mean if the hard drive is bad, or doesnt work at all, shouldnt the cd player still at least come on??

I have a GeForce 6800 ,256mb card in my comp. I had declined to renew my warranty and then 2 months later the fan starts to go.
Do I need to buy a new card all together or can you buy a fan? If that would be cheaper. Reason i ask is that My comp is a dell and they list my card at $350. I dont have that kinda money for a good card.

When, I'm trying to scroll with my mouse it won't respond right and it starts scrolling up and down on it's own. Also, even when I sit the mouse still my page will start moving up and down on it's own. Is it the sensor on the mouse, the wire, problem with the monitor? Any ideas? It's very irritating!
