I ordered an 80 GB laptop a few months ago. Happened to look at the control panel today, and saw that it said the total disk space was 51 GB (25 used, 26 free). My brother says that the 30 GB was taken up by the pre-installed XP, but that seems like a lot to me. I thought maybe they gave me a 60 GB instead...did they make an error or is that much space taken up?

I have owned the fan for three years, and as long as I can remember the fan noise has been an issue. I googled a solution but it was too techy for me to follow.

My HP laptop was off, closed, and sitting on the table. It was not plugged into the power. All of a sudden a loud beeping noise came from the speakers. The screen is black and the lights are on, but the computer wont turn off. What is wrong?

My younger brother placed my laptop on a vibrating/shaking surface. I mean, on a surface that constantly vibrates very hard, in a VERY VIOLENT way. I wan't to ask you guys: can the DISPLAY, COLOURS AND NUMBER OF COLOURS displayed by the laptop be affected by this thing? If the laptop and its internal components are strongly and violently shaked (very fast) can the number of colours displayed by the laptop be reduced from 4 bilion to 16 milion ?

Okay after calling the company they told us the only thing it could be was the fan that cools the laptop was not operating properly. But I was reading some info on computers and some of the other problems we've been having with it, overheating, shutting off randomly, and not booting up all the time, or starting to boot up and then staying at the black screen. I have read that it could be motherboard problems? I don't know anything about motherboards, although I have the feeling that it controls the computer :s Okay so if it is the motherboard is it expensive to replace, does the whole thing need to be replaced or can parts of it be salvaged. We have a 3 year warrenty through Bestbuy and we are still well within those limits but I don't know if that is something that is covered. Help! I am so confused.....

I have a Pentium4-2.4Ghz, 512 RAM, 128mb video, using Windows XP Pro SP2. I always liked the Apple design, and the fact that it's not Windows. But the thing is: i play online games as Counter-Strike... I've heard that now you can simply install Windows XP into a Mac. In my case, a Mac notebook. Would it work good with games, running inside Win XP, on the Mac? People in Brazil don't really use macs...I only see a lot of iPods...Hehe...
Well...That's basically my question.
I'd also like to use programs in OSX such as MSN Messenger, is it possible? Or with all I want should I just stick to Microsoft and a normal PC?
Thanks a lot. =]
