Ive just been writing a question on here and pressed a button by mistake as I was typing, when I looked at the screen the internet toolbars at the top have disappeared, but one comes back when I put my cursor at the top of the screen. How do I get it back to normal as its annoying me, looks weird!!

My touchpad won't respond to me tapping it. The cursor moves fine when I run my finger over the touchpad, but it won't do anything when I tap it. What has caused this? What can I do about it? I installed three Windows updates last night, and then another one this morning. Could this have had an affect on the touchpad? I have tried restarting, but it hasn't helped.

All answers (providing they're serious) are very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hey everybody.
I got here an intel core 2 duo processor E4300 clocked at 1.80Ghz with a 800 FSB , and 2Gigs of ram (Kingston 800mhz 1GBx2). I am wishing to overclock my CPU to get more power.
As far as I know that if you want to overclock a CPU you should overclock the FSB because FSBxMultiplier=Ghz (correct me if im wrong)
I got an asus 945 mobo or something like that and I got the stock cooling fan.
How far can I go overclocking my CPU ? (with out frying up my cpu of course lol ? )

After changing my monitor size, I changed the resolution to 1024*768 instead of 800*600 since in 800*600 the letters are blurred. But in 1024*768, the font size become very small. What to do to avoid the blurring effect and also to get normal font size?

I just connect my TV to my computer, but the resolution is off and everything is blurry. Is there anything outside changing the 800x600 dimension? I've tried the other dimensions, and that was the only one that I could even attempt to read with.

But is there anything else to make the resolution more clear?

Sometimes, when i open my PC, the monitor will not respond or it will really not open and everything is black but the CPU is working. Sometimes, i was able to open it but after an hour or so, the PC will either restart or the monitor will turn off. im sure tht its not due to temperature. Sometimes, when i open my PC, instead of 1 beep (as a sign tht the PC i open), im hearing 3 beeps and nothing appears on my monitor and everytime tht happens, im turning it off. I just bought the monitor one month ago. Please help me.....
