I have had this problem before, so I got my laptop erased. I then used its recovry disc to put everything back on. The problem stopped for a short while and began again. I also tried to increase the pageing file size. that didn't work. Last I tried to reinstall the audio driver. Didn't work. Any other idea would be greatly appreciated.

Today it froze. Then I restarted it and when it came back on. My wireless lan adapter was missing and it came up found new hardware (network controller) and it wouldn't install it and I took out the hardware discs and reinstalled it and it still wouldn't work? Should I just go buy a external PCI slot adapter because this one is shot?
Or is there something I can do for this one?

Ok, this has been the day from hell. I purchased a used IBM Thinkpad. It has windows 98 installed on it. I purchased the wireless router by Linksys. It say's compatable with Windows 98 and the computer supports the other setting. I installed the software on my desktop with no problems. When I went to install on the laptop, it said that I must have Internet Explorer 5.5 or newer. So I tried to connect directly from my modem to the notebook, but I ran into a problem because the cable is smaller on the notebook. So I thought ok, I will save the newer version of Internet Explorer to my flash devise. I saved it from my PC. However, the notebook said it needed the installation software for the flash drive and unfortunately I no longer have it. So then I had a USB cable and connected that from the modem to the laptop. The laptop needed the installation software, so I downloaded the software from Comcast. After I restarted I got a message saying that the connection could not be

Now I just moved to a new apartment, and it happens every time I turn on the computer! I've had a blue screen error before which resulted in my having to get a new harddrive, but this time it ONLY happens when my network card is inserted into the computer. The error screen mentions if you have hardware or software that wasn't installed properly to reinstall it, anyway I'll have to call Dell's lousy tech support once more unless anybody can help me. I appreciate the help.

I'm looking into a game that requires 512 mb of video memory, and my laptop only has 32 mb of video memory.

It has 1gb of RAM and I'm upgrading it to 2 gb. Will the RAM help out where the video memory is lacking?

Will I be able to play the game that requires the 512 mb of video memory on the system?

I have an old Toshiba Satellite laptop, it is pretty low quality and is powered by an Intel Celeron chip, so i realize it shall be rather slow, but I was looking for ways to make it faster and so that it doesnt take forever to run two programs at once. I have cleaned the startup and kept the system pretty basic, but i dont know what else I can do, I also have a lot of programs but they are all saved to an external harddrive so that my laptop's harddrive is pretty empty as of now.

any ideas and if so could you tell me how to go about doing them?

thanks

Is it okay to keep plugging my laptop eventho my battery is fully charged already? Or is that going to ruin the laptop battery?
