Does anyone have an error similar to this when trying to update BIOS to A07 on a Dell Inspiron 2200?

Please insert both AC and a batter adapter. (even though the battery is inserted and working correctly)

If so, how do(did) you solve it?

My iMac must have more than a hundred features, but since it didn't come with an instruction book, I can only use about three of them . I've had to learn a lot by trial and error . An instruction book would have come in mighty handy -- Mac Help never tells me anything !

In the process of removing the cookie, we bent a couple of pins. Is it possible to repair at home? Will it cost too much to repair? I was told by CompUsa that the whole motherboard needed to be replaced, is this true? So many questions, please help!

Want to install some good free sites, especially adware and spyware, and anything else of interest.
Spybot Search and Destroy will be one of the security sites which I will install.
Stumbleupon is a good general site which I would like to include.
Do you have any suggestions for good security, or good general sites.
Thanks.

So i was told the other day that adding lots of cd's onto my mac wouldnt hog my memory. The guy said that only applications hog my memory (and i have added a few). But then said that i should get an external hard drive to make my computer run faster. so im really sorry but, WHAT? how does an external hard drive work? do i always have to have it if i want to play itunes, or would my laptop still have itunes on it? What about games? im sorry but im a novice and i just thought buying this fancy computer would be enough, but now its running slower (not slow) then when i got it, i want to start adding serious songs & photos onto my computer, but i dont understand how the harddrive works (in theory or actually).
Thanks if you can help.

I bought a laptop off of the company that I work for. I formatted the hard drive completely to get rid of all programs and files. Yet when I turn on the computer the very first screen that pops up says "name of the company I bought it from" then below that it has the normal hp symbol. Then below that it says press f8 to boot some special mode.

My question is how do I get rid of "the company name" on the first page?

I'm a college student looking to get rid of my Apple iBook G4 because I'm so sick of the mechanical problems (I think I got a lemon.) I need a laptop mostly for internet, papers, music, and photos. Looking to spend less than $1500, and for a computer with possibly minimum 17". I like the HP dv9000 series right now, anyone know of it? Have problems with HP? What's recommended as far as laptops?

I want to know who has the fastest laptop, me or my friend. I have a better processor but he has more memory. Maybe there is a program that time the duration of some task and would allow to compare computer speed?

What difference does it make if I get one that has 512mb RAM as opposed to 1054mb? I'm confused, what does it actually change on my laptop?
