Ok. Heres the problem. I have a laptop and it was working fine one day, I shut it down and about 2 days later I started it up again, but the screen remained black. You could hear all the noises during the startup, but again the screen stayed black. I don't know what to do about this. I bought the laptop early last year. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

So I'm watching a tv show right now (Firefly actually, great show, you should watch it, lol.), and about every 8 minutes or so the picture freezes up and the CD tray starts spinning agian. After about 3 seconds of fast spinning it seems to load the next 8 minutes or so and then turns off till next time.

And then it repetes...Its never done this before, but knowing vista, random problems are the norm.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, I wanted a lot of shortcuts on my desktop, so I directly opened the start menu and dragged them onto the desktop. Now I want all of the shortcuts on my desktop gone, but put back into the start menu. However, I don't know how to get all of the icons back onto the start menu, under the All Programs list with the folders. (I run Windows Vista, by the way, so I can't use the method for this on Windows XP.)

Ok, so heres the deal. I'm pretty sure I was one of many who bought a Dell 3100 with intergrated Sound and Graphics cards. To put it simply they suck, and there alleged good intergrated graphics are a joke. I would like somebody to please answer me if it is possible to get a new mobo that will fit my current case that has slots for a graphics card, pci express x16 slot, and will work with ddr2 ram, sata 2 hd, and my cd and dvd roms. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone knew a specific board actually, lol Save me alot of looking around for one that will work.

Thanks alot!

Looking for a printer that has individual colour ink cartridges (i.e. one blue, one red, etc.) Where can I get this kind of printer? (If you know a website, that'd be very helpful)

I am looking for an interface that will allow me to take FOUR SIMULTANEOUS INPUTS (working all at the same time!) capable of up to 192 KHz sampling rate on ALL inputs that also has 4 outputs that will also work SIMULTANEOUSLY. I see ads for interfaces that say "4 in, 10 out" but they do NOT have inputs that work SIMULTANEOUSLY. The device I need can exceed these qualifications, but it is necessary that it works at 192 KHz and has 4 inputs and outputs that work simultaneously. It would also help if it had a good reputation for reliability and excellent sound quality. I am currently using a Tascam US-122 adapter, but I want to record up to 4 simultaneous tracks, and it has only 2. Also, it MUST work with Mac OS 10.4 or later. Thanks!!!
