I reinstalled windows a couple times, after a few months, I have to reinstall again cause files are corrupted or deleted. Now, I keep getting the same error when I try to start it. The unmountable boot place or whatever it was. I tried doing a recovery a couple different ways, but each time it restarts and nothing is fixed. I start it and it says that there is still errors. So is it the hard drive or something else? I tried the microsoft troubleshooting page but nothing fixed it.

I have a mouse with a ball inside. I took it out and tested the bars which turn, I found out that the bar which makes the cursor go up and down worked fine, but the bar which turns to make the mouse go from left to right wasn't working properly. It didn't spin as fast as the other one and the cursor barely moved right and left. Does anyone know how I can fix this without purchasing a new mouse? Would WD-40 work? Thanks!

Ok. I saved up my money to $3000 something to purchase a Mac Pro. Note that I am a girl.... Anyway, my other girlfriend was saving her money with me, too. So we decided to buy our laptops the same day. We didn't tell each other what brand Notebooks we were going to buy; we simply went ahead and purchased our notebook on our own... a week later, at college, we saw each other in class. I took out my Mac Pro and showed it to her. She said, " That's awesome." I said, " what you got?" Then she showed me a Dell XPS M 1710 Red Formula notebook. I said, " That's nice, but Mac doesn't get viruses." then she said, " Yeah, that's why I have McAfee."
My processor is 2.33GHz. Hers is the same, but she has Nvida Geforce go 7950 GPU. Her notebook plays audio louder and more powerful than mine. Her screen revolution is clear and more crispy than mine, and her DVD movies player better than mine. She plays very awesome games too. And the lights on her notebook are so attractive. Should I be Jealous

I have a RCA HDTV Monitor and I was wondering if I could connect it to my laptop. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2200.
I've read around a bit and my TV has S-Video (one is taken by the DVD player) but my laptop I'm PRETTY sure doesn't.
Anyway, I don't really get what others are saying so I thought I'd ask myself.

I just got this new laptop and I was trying to take the stickers off. I peeled the stickers, but that goo glue stuff was left behind. I tried using a hair dryer to remove it, but that was stupid. Whatever heats up, has to cool down. Now I have this goo glue that won't come off my laptop. I would use something like a knife or whatever, but I'm afraid it will scratch it. Can someone help?

Having bought a new pc from dell 2 weeks ago i have had nothing but hassle - vista product key claimed not genuine. I've spent every night on the phone to India call centre and have only after 2 weeks managed to get them to agree to refund the computer and take it away as not fit for use. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar problem?
