Okey here goes nothing. I got a Presario V6000 for Christmas this year and i know nothing about laptops. I'm setting up my computer right now and I'm stuck. It says unable to connect to the internet. Well, i though using my wireless Linksys set would help but apparently not because i still can not connect. What do I need to do? Help?

I want to buy a laptop or notebook for my own work. What factors should I consider? I don't know what technical features I need. Everybody asks me what configuration I am looking for. I don't know what configuration will be best for me. I just know that I need a laptop that supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition with Office XP features with language support. I need it for typing in Indian regional languages such as Hindi. I use most Office features such as Word, Excel, Front page, Power Point. I want to be able to connect to a broadband internet connection. I need a floppy drive and CD drive. What is the configuration I should be looking for? Please do help.

My mom just got a notebook, and she wants to set up security so that we're the only ones who can use our wireless internet signal (we don't want our neighbors or somebody to be able to use it). Neither of us has any idea of how to do that. Help please?

Ok, so for Christmas, my parents bought me a computer off of ebay. It was new, and still in its original packaging. When I turn it on, I get the error:

Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key.

I had a friend come over and check the BIOS (I think its called that), and he said everything is normal. He also looked inside of it and checked to see if anything may have been knocked out of place suring shipping. He said that everything looked to be in order. I've googled it about all day, and the responses I keep seeing require me to have the XP cd. Which wasnt shipped with the computer. I've also seen stuff saying that I need to get a boot floppy (or something like that), but I dont have a floppy drive.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

my kitten is always stepping all over it, and i was wondering if i could "turn it off" when not in use.

p.s. don't suggest to plug in another keyboard.

The keyboard on my laptop got some problems. Is there anyway you could connect a desktop keyboard to a laptop so I can use it instead of buying a new laptop? What do I need to do that?
