Both times I've unplugged it but somehow I feel it's a crime.

I've changed into ADSL recently.

My mother's birthday is coming up and she is a big online gamer. She showed me an article recently in her AARP magazine about a flexible waterproof keyboard that was dishwasher safe. I would really like to get this for her birthday. What I need to know is: I've found several different brands, which is best? It needs to be a full-size keyboard preferably in black. Also, where would be the best place to buy--I don't mind ordering online I just need to get it in the next 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance!

I have tried to muck around with the wizard etc and i also followed the instructions on page cannot be displayed. I opened the tools menu and click on automatically detect settings. Surely if the wee box at the bottom right is flashing and saying enabled then i should be able to access internet? This is a computer i got from my workplace, its just over a year old and runs XP Pro.

Okay. This problem has been solved but, i just want it to know what was causing it? I just built my first computer and as i was installing all the drivers and softwares and xp updates that i need it in the computer one out of 2 times it restarted the bios would change... (not recognizing my hard drive and the speed on my ram and processor would go down... so i had to go there manually and put everything back in order to get it going) just wondering and another thing is how do i make xp start without me having to press F1... what part of the bios make it does that?

Not going to send Roxio $15.00. Will Vista SP1 address this when released presumably in December according to an Intel leak? Anyway around it in the meantime?
Still have my PS2 anyway, but somewhat ticked off about spending cash for a top line computer, and a basic function is an extra charge/hassle. Please no re-installing XP advice and Thanks for any imput!

I'm not too computer savvy so this might be easy. I bought a new laptop and my old laptop still works fine, just needed an upgrade. There are files from the old that I want on the new. Is there an easy way to transfer these computer to computer. I thought maybe using an ethernet cable would work, but I don't know where to go from there. Please help. Thank you

Hello there. I was just wondering if liemwire was bad for a mac computer. My friend said that it didn't give viruses out it just made your computer way slower and did other things to it. If this is true could someone give me another website that is like limewire and works for mac computers and won't do damage?

I accidentally pulled the fire from my headset and they hit the ground. Now, the right speaker barely works and something broke loose inside and is making noise when I move it.

If I take them back and tell them I didn't drop it will they replace it?

People have told me never to shut down my computer, but I think thats a bunch of BS. I left my old computer on all the time and it burned out. I just want to know officially how much you should shut it down. I always get different opinions. Also I keep it in the attic, and during the day it gets to be like 120 degrees up there. Is that bad for it too? I'm assuming yes.
