Laptops & Notebooks - September 2006

I was doing some work and the screen went blank like the computer shut itself down due to a power failure or something. But it is plugged in not on the battery... so what happened?

I know little about any kind of computer. Recently bid on a laptop on auction site. Wifi ready, but does not come with the card. Does anybody out there know, have you ever bought one of those wifi cards for like $5.99 on the auction sites that claim to work? Thanks. And is 650mhx with intel III an okay laptop?

I recently reinstalled Xp Home on my Dell inspiron 1150. I downloaded all drivers including dell quickset and notebook system software off Dell's support and download page and did all according to instruction. All is ok. BUT now when I go to Control Panel > System , the DELL Logo and Inspiron 1150 is not showing any more.

How do I put it back? Any registry hack or something? Any weblink?

All help appreciated, and "thank you" all

DVD drive in my new laptop plays DVDs with short breaks. It behaves as if the drive is finding diffcult to read the DVD. (Voice is breaking, picture is playing with short pauses)
I tried with few DVD/CDs it is the issue with the drive.

I am not sure whether it is because of memory issue or the drive itself is damaged.

I burnt few DVDs recently. The drive burns DVDs with no issues. Those burnt DVDs are playing well at other computers and even on DVD player attached to TV.

I purchased that laptop 3 months back. It has 1GB ram, it is Centrino Duo, XP Home.

Any way to fix the problem?

It doesn't turn on anymore and lost a key during the whole 'mopping' up thing! Will I get it back or a new one?!

I think it is because it could be useful for school and everything. We have a really nice desktop though that is only 2 years old so I'm not sure if my mom would go for the laptop thing. But, I think it would be so much more convenient.
Good thing for a xmas present?

The power plug looks similar to the RCA plug from the back. I have found many Adapters on eBay, 45w 1.875Amps. Questions are these compatable.

I have several large video files that are around 6 gigabytes and whenever I attempt to copy them from my internal hard drive to my external hard drive, it says the file is too large. I assume this is because I need more free memory. Is there a setting, like the page file, that I can temporarily boost up so that I can do the transfer?
