On a dell laptop, you can hit Function & F8 to toggle your laptop display with a connected projector. But what if your F8 key has quit working? Is there a software program I can use to toggle between the laptop screen and the projector screen? As of now I can't display my laptop screen on the external projector. Any tips?

I have a Compaq Presario laptop and the motherboard went bad. Is there anything I can do with it now? Are there companies that will buy this? Is it worth anything? Is it good for anything? I hate to just throw it away, it was fairly expensive. Any advice? Serious responses only please. Thanks

TMobile does not work. I do not like monoploly and refuse to use Verizon. There's got to be a service that can be used no matter where I am in the world also. The wireless card that I have is from Tmobile.

I recently bought a EVGA 7950GT KO Superclocked 512mb Video Card. I know this is a higher end card, but i still seem to be having problems getting high settings on some simpler games. I know when i first installed it i had some power issues, and had to buy another power supply. When i first installed it said it needed to reduce quality to make sure my system was not damaged. I now have a new power supply, so how do i see/ makesure my video card is running at "full power" as it were? Thanks!

I want to add more RAM to my computer. I have a 512 MB DIMM module and there are four slots. Do I have to add 512 MB modules (so they match) or can I add a 1GB module with my 512 MB module. Or since it's removeable, can I remove the 512 MB module and replace it with a 1GB module, our would I lose all the programs my computer is running. Maximum memory is 4096 MB.

In terms of price, portability, and internals, I want to buy a macbook 13''. However, I am concerned with the size of the screen. Currently I have a 15'' screen. Would 13' be too small? Would the size get on my nerves eventually?

I'm trying to decide between a laptop with a 120GB hard drive and a similar laptop with a 160GB hard drive. The first is $100 less expensive than the second.

Are 40GB worth the extra money?

I have windows vista preinstalled on this new new laptop that I bought. There were no cd's included with the laptop because everything is inside the invisible hard disk partition, including the installer of all drivers.

Now I am planning to install a secondary OS (Windows XP SP2) for dual OS/dual booting. I was done doing research on how to install Windows XP with Windows Vista preinstalled on my system. I was wondering if it is possible for me to do it provided that the installers of all the drivers (soundcard, videocard, modem, etc) for my system are all inside my invisible partition and not in a cd.

In particular would I be able to install those drivers in the newly installed Windows XP?

P.S. I dont have any experience reformating and installing OS yet.

Anyone shares the same experience with me? Or anyone can help?

Any help from anyone will be much highly appreciated. Thanks.

The machine is all hooked up correctly, but when I'm in the PDF document and select "Print pages 2-3" it will only pop up in the "Active Printer Documents" for a few seconds, and then the title of the document will disappear without printing.

Anyone know what's wrong with it and how I can fix it? Thanks. :-)
