1. my gpu is a nvidia geforce go 6150. It is curently using 64 mb of memory. But total avalible memoy is 287. how come i can only put the memory up to 12.

2. when i go to systemrequirementslab.com to see if i can run oblivion my pc fails on the gpu it says

video ram 128- you have 64mb fail
video card acceleration- pass
hw transform lighting pass
vertex shader requiered 2.0- you have 3.0
pixel shader requiered 2.0-you have 3.0

So i changed the video memory in bios to 128 mb but then it says

video ram 128- you have 128mb FAIL
video card acceleration- pass
hw transform lighting pass
vertex shader requiered 2.0- you have 3.0
pixel shader requiered 2.0-you have 3.0

SO CAN I RUN OBLIVION

My cell phone was drowned in mineral water in a span of 5 minutes. It all happened inside my bag without me knowing it. I turned off my cell phone and used a blow drying to remove all the moisture outside and inside (battery compartment and memory card slot).
The cell phone turns on but with a purple screen and a faulty backlight. After leaving it alone for 5 hours, it starts working again.
So do I need to open it and blow dry the insides or am I in the safe zone?

Hello, My Toshiba a25 was working fine when I had to stop using it 2 weeks ago while waiting on my new ac adapter to arrive because the old one quit working. About 3 months ago the touchpad for the pointer started working intermittently and then the keyboard was starting to do the same. But then the problem went away and both had been working fine for 2 months until now that I have recieved the new ac adapter from ebay and am able to now use the laptop for the first time in 2 weeks. Now the touchpad has not worked at all since I have been able to use the laptop again these last 3 days and also the keypad is beginning to work off and on again. I thought this problem was gone and how is it related to the fact that the computer has been sitting powered off for the last 2.5 weeks? It seems awfully coincidental that all was fine 2.5 weeks ago when my ac adapter went bad, I was able to use the laptop one more day before the battery died, then I had to put it up until the other day .
