Laptops & Notebooks - November 2006

I have an ATI Mobility x1400 in my Inspiron E1705 from Dell. I have recently reinstalled Windows XP, and my a video I had saved on my flash drive now only plays in weird rainbow colors. I installed the drivers for everything from Dell, but it still won't play right. Can I get new/better drivers, or is my video card messed up?

I do a lot of Adobe Photoshop work. I also have thousands of music and video files that take up a lot of space. However, I need to mobilize my pc and get a laptop. I like the look of the HP's. I had bad experiences with both Dell and Toshiba, so I won't buy one of those. I need something that can run several programs at once, have a lot of storage space, and have a great screen resolution. I would also like to be able to access wireless easily. Is the HP dv9040us a good laptop choice for me?

For the past few weeks, my dell laptop has been running on the battery power, even though I have it plugged in to my adapter. I usually don't notice it until I get a pop up message from my computer telling me to change the power source. The battery will usually start charging when I change outlets. Now, all of a sudden last week, I can't charge the battery at all with the adapter. I plug it into an outlet, and it won't charge. My battery is dead dead dead. I am thinking it is the adapter, the little green indicator light won't even light up.

I ordered a new adapter from Dell this morning...

Any ideas or input?

FYI - it is a Dell XPS M140 - less than one year old

I've never had problems before it just started happening today. I'm typing my term paper and all I have opened is Microsoft word, internet, and itunes. All of a sudden the screen would turn blue with all these number and configuration...like the one that pops-up when something is wrong...you only see it for 1 second and then the pc would just restart. When I reopen, a message stating the the pc has recovered from serious a problem would pop-out and asks me if i want to send a report to microsoft. When I send it, I get a summary that it has something to do with a device driver. Anybody can help??

and sometimes have to turn it off and reboot 3-4 times to get it to start.It is this way on battery as well as AC power.It has MS office , Windows XP ...but little else on it... (no games, music etc...and even very few files)...so there is lots of room left...
Even after it boots ,the cursor often freezes (with keyboard mouse as well as external wireless) and even sometimes when you type ...the letters will not show up for a few minutes....When I start it has about 37 or 38 processes running...and says has lots left..any ideas of what is wrong...is it worthwhile to get someone to look at it...is it an expensive fix? Thanks

Okay so here goes, my pc (laptop) would shut down, sometimes blue screen. I in turn decided to start fresh and reinstall my OS and apps from the disks that came with my system. Was working fine for a while then began to encounter issues (blue screen). I did a system scan and the result suggested I download an update from microsoft KB..for blue screen. pc shut down again. When I decided to do another reinstall I deleted the partition and reinstalled the OS using the partition space. Does the disks that come with the system include everything on the original system configured partition ? I'm thinking that the original partition may have contained additional info. I do not do much downloading and there does not appear to be any viruses. I think it is more so configuration issues, possible registry, not sure. How do I get my default configuration back without having to send it out to the manufacturer to have it reconfigured to its original state. Thanks..
