I just bought a Gateway laptop, my first one. Anyway, I wanted to know how to get wireless internet with it. I already have a wireless router (built into my FIOS modem), and the computer comes with a wireless networking card. Is there anything else I need to get internet access?

I have a DELL Diemension 2400 from 2001. 256 memory 40gb hard drive, 2.6G processor. I want to buy a new computer/laptop but my parents say its costs too much. Is it/Will it be cheaper for me to buy some more memory and a new processor for my computer to run faster? If it is can you reccomond some places where I can get the parts. Btw I make games and stuff in C++ and C# and I buy games that demand more memory and faster processing.

I have bought things on ebay before but nothing as expensive. I've been looking at "new in box" laptop/notebooks and just don't understand why people are selling them so cheap if they are "new". I found one for around $300.00 on ebay and it's closer to $700.00 in the store. Just wondering if anyone has or would buy one there. What brand would you avoid?
Thanks.

So I had some files I forgot to copy before my reformatting and reinstalling of XP and I have filled up around 75% of my 100gig memory with other programs and files. I have added and deleted all sorts of stuff for about a month now and just now noticed that I have files I was missing. Is there any way to get those back after such a time and all of those steps (reformatting, etc)? I heard that once you overwrite your data it is gone and I am sure after all that the data is for sure gone, but I just wanted to hear it from others.

My daughters have a shared Dell desktop, that was hit with a virus. Is there a way to retrieve pictures etc without shelling out 'big bucks'? There are many personal pictures including the only copies of wedding pictures etc on the PC.

OK I don't claim to be an expert, but I do know enough about computers and what happened here and when it happened. We got an Excel file from one of our suppliers, linked to another file in their network down there. When you went to open it, it took forever asking if it wanted to link back and stuff. Went to print and it froze up. Then PC restart saying spool writer is missing, gone..what not.
I tried whatever I knew and finally had to call someone, Geek Squad was all I can think of. Anywya they ran all kinds of things and couldn't get it fixed......then the lady said, "Oh yeah, it's a virus" you have to wipe out your hard drive. #1 we do have up to date virus protection on, #2 she said oh it's spyware though that it came in trhough. Now this ALL started exactly when we went to open the Excel file.

Basically, when they don't know do they just blame on virus and say wipe off the hard drive?

when powering up my HP(bout 4ys old) with Windows XP, after few minutes it will power up and shut itself off. The modem lights almost all go blank except for 3 lights. It was doing this for about 3 weeks and I would cut off power and restart it and it worked, now, it powers up but only for a few minutes. Any idea what is causing this??? Any help is greatly appreciated. Could it be a virus, the fan, power source????

My current PC is old & slow and I now want to upgrade with a particular view to getting something not too expensive which will allow me to run the various bits of photographic wizardy which I have.
I don't play games (OK - Solitaire - but that doesn't count!) so I don't need any of the specialist bits for that.
Any advice on what I specifically need to be looking for other than a massive hard disk!?

I don't need anything really fancy...but here is a list of things I need to do on it.

--Needs to be compatible with Microsoft 2003 (I am an instructor for PowerPoint, Outlook, and Word and my college uses Microsoft 2003)
--I'm an avid photographer and need storage for the photos and a GREAT photo editing program.
--I would like to be able to burn cds and dvds
--Money manager program
--large screen

I won't be using it for gaming or anything crazy like that. However, speed is important (I have a 4-year-old and don't have a lot of time to wait for a computer to do stuff...lol).

Can you give me links to some affordable laptops? Thank you!
