I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Athlon 3200+, 128 MB dedicated VRAM and 512 MB memory. I'm trying to run Heroes V in very low quality but still can't make the game run sufficiently fast enough. Is there any way around this without having to buy a new pc?

When I turn on my dell latitude cpi there is something that says,
"While initializing device IOS"
Error: A I/O subsystem drive failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt or the system is on low memory.
After this message the laptop has a flashing hyphen and just stops there forever. If you have any Idea please tell me!

Then i discovered that the backup CD is corrupted.

Is there any software or way to get my previous data on the desktop back?

Thanks. :)

Could I play WOW on a HP Inspiron B130 laptop? I think the graphics are integrated. Or do I need to have a nividia card or something. If this one won't work, could you suggest a laptop under $100 that would do the trick?

Thanks, Nick

I am seriously considering getting the 1405 but I've read several reviews that say the screen is a pain. It does seem very mirror-like and reflective. Some say it's tough to view if well lit environments w/the TrueLife display. I've even seen people write that the screen makes it almost un-useable. I'd like to use it as a portable computer for grad school and use it in a variety of places. Do you think the screen would be a problem?

Okay, I'd love to buy a new Dell laptop, maybe even Mac powerbook, but money is an issue right now. I can't upgrade to the newest Safari Browser with my current OSX 10.2.8, whatever that is. Panther or Jaguar, or whatever. Without Safari 2.0, I can't even answer a question here (I can ask one, like right now, figure THAT out). The stats: this is a 2001 iMac with some professionally done upgrades a year ago. Its 500 MHz, PowerPC G3. Whoopie! ---My needs: no gaming or movies or anything fancy--just basic emailing, ebaying, browsing. Though I might like to install Photoshop in the future...I know that takes a big chunk of memory. SORRY for the lengthy question, but I'm an idiot about computers and need help. The shops here just confuse me and try to sell me stuff. Help me please!!!! Thank you!

The college that I am going to has wireless internet capability. My question is will I need my own internet provider or will the wireless network at the college have that for me? I hope my question is clear enough to understand. Thanks in advance. I really didn't know how to word this question.

My wife's laptop computer is very slow. We've tried Spyware Doctor to get rid of spyware and we have McAfee Virus protection and AOL firewall protection. It is just so slow and locks up continually when she's on the internet. Her computer has been used by temps and family so I'm afraid there's a good chance there is an infection.

I have a Sony Vaio that is of PCG-Z1 model range. It took a short drop of about half a meter. It worked fine for a few days but then problems began. When the power button is pressed, LEDs light up and the hard disk spins, before slowng down and stopping, but the POST does not happen and the laptop does not boot. The laptop does boot up however when tilted at a certain angle and works normally should the laptop be maintained at this odd angle. If it starts up in the tilted position and Windows starts, should the laptop be moved...the whole screen freezes and nothing else will happen. I originally thought it was just a loose connection, but someone has said that it is perhaps a motherboard problem. Does anyone know exactly what the problem might be?
