All downloads must be on-line as CD-Rom malfunctioning. Tried BIOS reset, but still not working. May have hardware problem, but, if so, why will tray play DVDs and the new audio/video CDs? There are approx. 2 billion people out there who are smarter than this old guy, so .......give me some help!! Or suggestion as to best place for repair/replacement.

New aquisition of older laptop. Compaq armada 7400. I want to access files on my desktop with my laptop. Parallel port? Serial port? Which port to use (and thus which cable to purchase) to use the direct cable connection wizard. Wizard asks me to tell it which to use. Does either work? Is either better? Parallel port is, I believe, the 25 hole (female) port which I have used for a printer. According to laptop manual, serial port is the 9 pin (male) port. Both computers have each of these. Windows 98 on both.

This laptop worked fine until two weeks ago when it would not boot up. When hit the power button, the green power light and the hard drive light comes on but that is all it does.

I want a laptop that is nice and one that will still be able to function nicely after 4 years (u know how laptops will be out of date fast cuz i bought a laptop 3 years ago but it can't use wireless internet!)
I think MACBOOK is really nice (white and clean) but is it HARD TO USE?
What other brands do you recommend? Sony VAIO? I'm living in Asia so i'm ok with Asian brands too
I'm a girl so i prefer laptops that are small, easy to carry and the BATTERY life should last long without the charger (so i can use it in public places/class/any place without plugs)

I have an ACER Travelmate 250. It's got a P4 processor, bog standard memory and bog standard everything else. When I bought it it ran ok, nothing special but it did the basics and surfed the web. Have had it for 2 years and the thing just seems to have got gradually slower and slower booting up and running programs. I had a huge problem with virus and adware that took me ages to get rid of. I have norton, but had to get rid of it cos it was just working to slowly. I think its gradually got worse over time.

The main prob is when you turn it on it takes about 5 mins too boot up everything and you just have to wait for ages (about 8 when I had to wait for Norton to boot itself up). Then other programs that used to run ok (like football manager) now run much much slower. I have done all the spybot cc cleaner on a regular basis and they show up nothing. Its almost like the memory and the harddrive work slower then they used too. Is there anything I should just buy new?

Last time I tried (2002), I gave up because Speedstep wasn't working under Linux and the CPU was always functionning at full speed, which reduced the battery life by a third or so. Is it still the case?
