Laptops & Notebooks - March 2007

When i plug my laptop into the internet it always has a very slow connection speed. The network connection i use is very fast (not sure exactly what it is) and others who are on the network get very fast connections. Are there possibly any setting i can change to make my connectio faster?

Hi! It seems that after the laptop has been on for a while (about 5 - 10 mins) you can no longer use the keyboard, Instead it's almost as though somone is leaning on the z or / key and you have to shut the machine down. There are no viruses or spyware, what could it be? Help is appreciated!

BTW: It has been to a computer repair shop, they say there's nothing wrong with the laptop. Is it possible that it doesn't act up in the shop?

My laptop brand is Toshiba and its hardware and software have damaged. I can't turn on the laptop and after I sent it for repair, they said that the laptop must be reformated. What makes it worse is that if I choose to do so, all my documents, songs, pictures etc will be deleted.

Do you know any other solutions to repair it without deleting my informations? If my laptop has to be reformated, is it wise to upgrade it to Windows Vista? (I'm currently using Windows XP)

Your answers and opinions are much appreciated. TQ!

I already have 2*256 MB installed, so i suppose i have to take out one 256 MB from one slot, and replace it with the 1GB one. Has anybody got any clue how to do that? By the way, what type memory shall I buy? and how to install it? I have found no service manual for my laptop on the internet.

I have a gateway laptop, about a year old. When I close the screen...if its still on, all these internet explorer windoes pop up (like 50) and I have to restart it. When I restart it, a blue screen comes up and it says it has to do a "dskchk" or something like that.
I know some of you might say spyware...but ive spent a ton of money on programs (im talking like hundreds) and none of them find anything...
Im taking it in to get serviced, but until I get there I was wondering if anyone can help me?

This sucks! I just got Vista, and the screen looks all out of focus and washed out. 3D wont work. I looked into the problem, and I found out that my NVIDA GeForce Go 6150 card isn't compatable with Vista by default. So...I downloaded the nVIDA driver installer. AND THE DAMN THING SAID THAT MY CARD WASN"T COMPATABLE AT ALL!!!! But I just got this computer (a laptop) several months ago, and it was clearly marked "windows vista capable". In fact, I got Vista upgrade for free when i bought the computer. please help me
