The mousepad on my laptop is very sensitive and the slightest touch moves my cursor wherever it is located and its so frustrating. I have to be very caution about my hand placement and often find myself messing up and touching it.

Some people say that they crash and freeze all the time, and others say that they are super-stable because they're UNIX based. Where is the truth?

People say I need a video card, or special game card? I have looked at the MyBook, or some kind of external memory but I don't know enough about any of it. I have a lot of pictures and run a printer too. I just want to get the best usage for this computer.

Its a Dell Inspiron 6000. I am not sure of the memory it has. Its standard.

I have an IBM thinkpad computer. I wanna switch my cd drive into dvd drive. I've tried playing dvd's and it says i need a dvd decoder. I installed a dvd decoder and it still doesnt work. The door of the drive itself says "dvd" on it. I go to My Computer it says "CD Drive (D;)" but when i go to device manager and then go to DVD/CD-ROM drives it says "Hitachi DVD-ROM GD-S200". It looks as if i do have a dvd rom drive installed but maybe its not configured right or something. I maybe be totally nuts but all I wanna do is make it so I can play dvds. thank you

Is there any possible way to get a larger-capactity Hard Disk drive for my DELL Inspiron 600m? You know, maybe an extra 30-40 gigs for some of those larger programs and files which happen to take up >1 GB of memory. For any of those who don't understand, I'm not looking for RAM, I'm looking for a higher-capacity hard drive which I can replace my current one with. Seriously, I need more space to fit stuff on, because I'm running a lot of programs and I need to have a lot of hard disk space. Naturally, there should be some way to put it naturally into my Inspiron 600m, with all of the included ports, and with no hidden issues involved. Also, by copying my entire //:C drive to an available empty hard drive, will that transfer everything (OS, applications, drivers, files) to the empty drive? Sorry about the question's length...Please answer to the best of your abilities.

The Toshiba logo came on and after the Windows logo came on and then it went black and stayed that way. I have rebooted it twice. The sounds came on just like it was turning on but the screen is black.

Less than $350? Can't really afford anything more. I tried eBay, nothing is cheap and working. I really need one. It may sound like really stupid that I'm looking for a $1,600 dollar worth laptop for like $200 or something but I'm serious.

I hardly go on the computer, but this computer is old and I am thinking of getting a laptop. I will mostly use it for games and internet. I heard Apple's are good but is it worth the price? What type do you recommend?

Well.. I finally ordered my inspiron with a Turion 64 MK-36 at 2.0Ghz, 1Gb of ram, 80Gb 5400 RPM, DVD-RW, and an ATI radeon xpress 1150 256 shared hypermemory.

Keep in mind that i dont use it for heavy gaming, just light gaming and schoolwork, internet, movies and music.

So... how would you rate it?

Thanks for the help!
