I need the definition of "boot cycle" for a class at school and I can't find it anywhere. I know it's computer related, I know boot means like a reboot of a computer, and I know a cycle is neverending. But I'm not sure if that's the definition, because I can't find it anywhere.

I'm having problems getting my laptop battery to last more than an hour while the machine is not plugged in.... it's making it entirely a waste to even try to take notes in school... All I need to do is run MS Word and possibly Adobe Acrobat. My config and settings are below. Can someone help with some settings or a solution that will extend battery power? My meter will initially show 3 hours of power left but that decreases exponentially and only last an hour at the most... I generally disable the radio on my internal Intel wireless card to avoid processing cycles used to unneeded wireless access. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I will be open to setting up new Windows Profiles if necessary and it doesn't screw up my desktop and settings in the profile I use most often... Thanks for the help!! Brett

Config: Inspiron 9300
Pentium M 2.13 ghz, 533 FSB
2 gig RAM, 533 FSB dual inline module
256 mg NVidia 9300
set at 1900x1200 dpi in 32bit true color
Dell Lithium 9 Cell 11.1v

My cd drive broke or blew up a few weeks ago for reasons unknown. Here's what Windows keeps telling me:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."

Ok, so I did the trouble shoot, tryed uninstalling and reinstalling (wasn't too sure if I had to restart my computer afterwards) the drivers, with no luck still. Now I feel I must buy a replacement. So I guess my question is, what's the best place to go to get a replacement and have it installed as well?? For a decent price at least...

thanks for your answers =D

READ CAREFULLY here. I have a Sharp Aquos 37" LCD TV. There were many different models of the 37" Aquos LCD TV. Some came with a VGA adapter, some came with a DVI (HDMI) adapter, and some didn't come with any. The native resolution is an awkward one. I've connected my computer to this television in every possible way, using every possible cable at every possible resolution. I either get no picture, blurry picture, pixelated picture or ghosted picture. When used as a TV, it is awesome! When used as a monitor, it is very poor. I WANT EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCED OPINION on what they prefer as an LCD TV (not plasma) and I want all the specs too please. I want to know what cable you are using and how it connects. Is it composite, component, DVI/HDMI VGA S-video whatever. I want to know what video card, what resolution on the card AND what the native (preferred/default) resolution is on the LCD TV. What size it the TV, the model # etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

My laptop's internal video card cannot handle wide screen (IBM T21), but I have a widescreen monitor that has resolution 1680x1050 (wsxga). I do not want my screen stretched as it currently is.

I have a docking station that fits a PCI card, but is limited to half size card (6.9" Length). To clarify, the card cannot extend very far past the pins.

Can anyone tell me which processor is faster : - PENTIUM 4 3.00GHZ or CELERON 2.66GHZ?
The reason i ask is my mum bought herself a new computer (pentium 4) but she cant get used to vista she can only use xp which my computer (celeron) has and I said I would swap if hers had a faster processor. I use my comp mainly for gaming and some web design.
