Me and my friend are having a debate on Microsoft and Apple and I love Microsoft and he loves Apple. He says Microsoft is just a big copy cat with everything and I insist that they are NOT. So I want to proove him wrong and give him things that Microsoft has thought of themselves. Can anyone help me out. Like Microsofts own desktop appearances and features.

-Thank You

I have an optical mouse that is connected to my PC via USB. However, the red light at the bottom is always on, even when my computer is turned off. Is there a way to stop this, as it must be a waste of electricity (albeit a very small waste)?

Hi everyone, I have brought a new laptop, have set it all up and everything, and have put Norton 360 on also. I keep getting a box come up saying Norton 360 is not currently your default phishing filter and would i like to make it my default phishing filter. I don't know what this means so would be grateful if anyone could tell me in easy terms please.
Also because i dont have a mouse with the laptop, how do i right click the screen to find properties because i want to put a screensaver on it.
Never had a laptop before as you have probably gathered so some things are a little confusing.
Thankyou for your help.

How do I find what the 'latest graphics card' is, in choosing a compatible lcd monitor for my hp 7935? Thanks


Your response to my querry included the following info:
On LCD, unlike CRT Monitors, the screen resolution is fixed. The specs will tell you what that number is, so you need to be sure that the latest Graphics Card driver can "match" the LCD monitor you choose.

I had an HP 722C but the cartridges cost more than many new printers. I need something to tide me over until I can afford to update my computer. Thanks.

My laptop has this orange tint to the screen in the bottom left corner. Sometimes the location changes and it will be along the left side or the right side of the screen but it always settles in the bottom left. It's just starting to drive me up the wall so I wanted to see if I could figure out what it is.

-It's on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop appx. 3 years old.

When I go to power on the computer nothing happens. Yesterday the power light would turn on and the fans would turn on for a few seconds then everything would go off again.
I took out the power supply and tried it in a computer that only has a cdrom (no HD) and it worked everything powered on...
Am I right in assuming that this may be the mother board? Any help would be most appreciated!

Here are my comp specs:
Pentium D 3.0 Ghz
Asus P5LD2 Deluxe
Maxtor 250 GB @ 7200rpm
Nvidia 256mb 7300 LE GeForce

Im not sure what the number of watts are for the power supply, but Im assuming it was enough as the computer was working fine before.

Thanks in advance.

my 3 year old somehow managed to remove the "enter" button from the keyboard.

I have the removed piece, which has a silver 3-sided rectangle underneath it. I can see on the keyboard where the 2 short sides of the rectangle slide into spots, but that doesn't completely fix it.

anyone know just how this works?
