I have no other use for it. It has one UBS port. It only has VGA out, not in. I heard that there is software you can use to do this, but the stuff I saw costs $30. Is there anything I can get for free?

By the way, I also want to invert the screen of the same laptop to be upside down. Again, is there any free solution?

Thanks in advance.

My 14.1" screen laptop has a max screen resolution of 1280x800. The higest bit of color is 32bit. I put it on 800x1000 and it made letter font size bigger and then I put it on 800x600 and it made the letter font size jumbo size. Is it better on your eyes you think to not put it on 1280 x800? or lesser? Why is it better to have higher resolution then if you dont use it?

Also what else is there that I can adjust to make it easier on my eyes? How do you adjust shade and contrast on the screen?

Thanks.

Just recently moved into my rental flat, looking into having internet connection to my laptop. There is an existing landline but I don't know the phone number. How would I go about finding out the phone number as there has been no mails to confirm it? Do I really need to rent the landline in order to have the connection as I would prefer not to install a phone in the residence. So far been checking out all possible broadband offers and they seemed to be asking for the phone number! Your assistance would be gladly appreciated and cheers! : )

My Sony Vaio laptop was working fine till earlier. It shut off on its own and when I turned it back on it displayed an error message that Windows could not open because the file was corupted or missing....it wont do anything now but display a black screen with like barcode at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions? Will getting a new Windows XP installation disk fix the problem? What caused it and how do I prevent it from happening again?

A font size on a 14.1" screen should be the same as on a 15.4" right? That means as long as the resolution is the same, that they should be like the same when staring at them for 8 hours straight right?

when I press @ I get " and visa versa and now I can't get the pound sign, I get the hash symbol when I press it and I can't find it anywhere else. Is it a virus or just something simple. Cheers.

I am considering getting a laptop with a 14.1 " screen, however I am worried that if i am on it for 8 hours straight that it would be worse on my eyes than a 15.4" screen. I like the lightness of the 14.1 inch in my lap, but do not want to strain my eyes too much. I think that the font size is the same though isnt it? Thats all that matters beside resolution, which should be the same.

I have an Compaq Evo N800c, It had a defective ram chip that caused it to Freeze, I noticed that there has been a recall on it but whenever I click the links to the HP website about getting a replacement they come up dead. I also can't find anything about the Recall on the website, but there are plenty of Web News Articles about the recall. Any ideas?

I am buying a laptop and there are 2 models that are similar, what are the differences and which one is a better deal?

Intel Centrino with Core Solo T1350 1.86GHz, hard drive 80GB (5400RPM), Intel GMA 950 with 128MB Shared -- PRICE -- 830$

Intel Centrino 740 1.73GHz, 100GB SATA (5400RPM), ATI Mobility Radeon X600 SE -- PRICE -- 800$

The rest of the spec are the same for both laptops. The 2nd one has a larger hard drive and a non-shared video card. The 1st one is using Core Solo T1350, i don't know if there's any difference. Which laptop is a better deal?

I'm looking to spend under $700. I live in a small town but am willing to travel to buy a decent computer. I will mainly need it for internet access and possible online gaming. If you can give me some suggestions of what brands to buy (or avoid for that matter) and where to go for the best bang for my buck... that would be highly appreciated.

I then have to just shut it off which makes it mad and these warnings about shutting it down incorrectly pop up but I cant help that because its frozen and I cant shut it down properly!
