I'm looking at renting a laptop but I don't know what to look for. What things do I need to look for if I want to use the net, download music and burn it to cd's, email and do a bit of typing?

Ok, I was being really dumb and started fiddling with my computer's volumes...Now everything is sounding high pitched and when my friends talk to me over the computer, they sound like speedy chipmunks..I really need to know what to put my bars at...

Also, I bought a new mic for my computer and it doesn't work right..I plugged it in the right spot but when I talk into it my friend's say that I sound like a monster (really low) I know I need to adjust my bass and treble, but for some reason it's grayed out and I can't adjust the bars...

Thanks for any help!

I don't know which one to get!
15.4 = better for watching movies, easier on the eyes?
14.1 = nice to carry around, cool because smaller

but then I don't know how much I will be carrying the computer around and how it is to view a 14.1 inch screen for a long time.

So, for those of you who have 14.1 inch, do you wish you had bought a 15.4 instead?

Also, if you know, can you tell me about the different choices I have for internet at home. Which do you recommend?

Its a Toshiba Satellite 1800 series. 256 RAM 20 GB HD. Win XP. The laptop says the battery is fully charged. If I run it off the battery, it discharges normally, then shuts off before the battery discharges. If I take out the battery, and run it off the adapter, it shuts off. If I put the battery in and run the adapter at the same time, it still shuts down. But, if I take out the battery and run it in safe mode on the adapter. It stays on all night. I have disabled the hibernation and standby modes. I have run a virus scan (AVG) and an ewido on line malware scan. All come out clean.

They put it as standard choice and they told me it's very good that provide 400 watt, (bla bla bla, i didn't understand).

Every thing is ok and fine, one of my friends came and checked the system and found that the powersupply is not providing the actual voltes..

it's giving 4.4 for what it should be +5
and 2.9 for what should be +3.3

everything else is ok...

Do i have to ask for replacing the powersupply..

How can one check the capacity and/or the actual Hard Drive Space available ... there must be a simple way to do that?

I just bought this great External Hard Drive 200 Gigs and took everything off my 60 Gig Lap Tops Hard Drive to free it up.

I was told by doing that I will increase the performance of my half Gig of Ram and oveall performance of the Lap Top in general, is it true and how can I check to see how much restored space is now on the internal Lap Tops Hard Drive now?

Many thanks...
