Laptops & Notebooks - January 2007

I have been trying to run a full scan all day and each time, about halfway through, it shuts down. Is McAfree causing this?

Ok I am getting a new laptop and going to stay in a hotel that has free wireless internet access available. But what else do I need? I haven't bought internet for it or anything and the one that I am on right now is a desktop. Do I need a wi-fi card and buy internet or just a wi- fi card?

Am I able to buy a new motherboard for my laptop?. I want to run Windows Vista but I won't have enough since my max is 512 total. Would I have to buy a mother board with a new graphics card and more or just a mother board??

I use computer to download pictures and store them and I also use word processor and surf the internet. I also like to save all my music to my computer. That is it. Do you really advise me to spend the extra money for dual core?

Its a Thinkpad T22, PIII, Windows 98. I haven't been able to get it to start correctly for a long time now. It tells me "hard drive not installed".The boot order is set up correctly. It's making me crazy! When I want to power it off, I have to hold down the power butten which is also set to turn off the computer in the BIOS setting. After a while I will hear a beep and see that it has turned on. If I unplug it, the laptop stays on until the battery is almost drained and then goes into hibernation. I am wondering if the hard drive problem is in any way related to the powering up problem......should I just accept that the hard drive is dead?

I had to reformat my hard drive and I thought I had the driver files saved on my external hard drive, but, ... sigh... they aren't working. I dont have internet access, so I will have to find them on another computer and burn them to CD to load on my IBM Thinkpad T40.

Any links to the PCI ethernet controller would be greatly appreciated.

Recently someone brought their laptop to my apartment. Although I do not have internet access they were able to piggyback off of some wirless internet connection from some nearby building.

If I am going to buy a laptop soon, what EXACTLY do I need the laptop to have in order for me to take it out of the box and connect to this wireless connection???

In other words, if I buy on online, what "specs, hardware, software" do I need to look for in to for this to happen. I would hate to buy something and then find out I need to buy an add-on.

Anybody else have the problems I have? Right out of the box, problems shutting down, won't hibernate, if you put it in "stand-by" it will restart after 15 minutes on it's own. Stalls in shutting down. The ONLY way I can be sure it is shut down and it will stay that way is pull the battery out and unplug it. Toshiba doesn't seem to know what to do and a letter to the CEO has never been acknowledged. I have had 14 Toshiba laptops and this new one is the only one I have had problems with. Are they cutting corners on the newer ones?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop and my dvd driver is not working. It makes nosies that sound like its trying to read the disc, but the disc does not spin; afterwards, it will tell me to insert a disc into the drive. The computer detects the drive and reports that it is working properly. In fact, it was working fine the other day. I thought it was the disc and have tried multiple Cds and DVDs, but I am faced with the same problem. Is this a hardware or software problem. The only changes that I have made to this laptop is installing some programs: norton anti-virus, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Plus, and Adobe Reader 8. If my dvd drive is broken...is there any way I can replace my laptop's dvd drive?
