Recently my laptop DVD drive stopped working (not visible in My Computer, but visible in Device Manager with yellow exclamation point and error code 37) . I called Gateway, they told me I needed to send my PC in. Geeksquad at Bestbuy examined and tested my PC and said the same thing. I didn't want to give it up for 2 weeks. Looking on line I found the solution of deleting upper and lower filters i Registry with Regedit. I followed this procedure and now it works fine.

First, what are the upper and lower filters. Second, why did they get set badly. Third why are Gateway and GeekSquad unable to solve a problem that I can solve?

256MB ATI® Mobility™ Radeon® X1400 HyperMemory™ graphics card OR 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7300 TurboCache™

Which is better and can they play games such as WoW, HL2 in detail?

The dell inspiron 6400 with:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5200 (1.60 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 533 MHz FSB)
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x512)
120GB (5,400rpm) Hard Drive
and either of the top graphics cards above
and 3 years at home service for about £720.

Is it worth it? Is there better laptops for the same price?

For some weird reason, my laptop, which is a INSPIRON 1300 is not showing full screen when I go to the Web Browser or even on my desktop. Is there something that I can do in order for it to turn back to wide screen and not just centered with the left and right sides chopped with just black? This is the first time it's done this to me.

My Mac ibook G4, started shutting off before it reached 0%. usually at 80%, but also as low as 30%. The mac SO CALLED Genius told me to replace the battery. He said the problem was caused because my cycle count was too high. So i paid over 100$ for a new battery and it has developed the same problem even with a low cycle count. After a while of using it in the wall outlet it now has and X in the battery display where the % would be showing. What's going on and how can I make my laptop "portable" again?

I really need a new laptop. My Acer Aspire 1350 is in great condition and have no problems, but it is just so terribly slow (256 MB ram) and my hard disk (20 GB) is almost full. I am thinking about either adding 512 MB ram and an external hard disk or buing a new laptop. Would it make sense to upgrade it? Does anyone know the typical lifespan of a laptop?

I'm looking for one with it because my company's Network doesn't use Vista yet. Because of this, I can't access my company e-mail from home, nor manage my work schedule.
If anyone knows a good place to find or order one in the US or Canada, Please respond. The cheapest that I've found is around $1100 US for a Lenovo, or $2200 for a Sony Vaio.

Thanks for your help!

I have a Gateway MT3705 laptop. It has 2x512 MB DDR2 SDRAM 533 MHz

If I go to Circuit City and get a 1GB DDR2 chip at 667Mhz will that work on my laptop?

I'm trying to find the best deal here. I'd love to walk into a store and but it, rather than order it.

Thanks. Vista needs more than 1G.

Thank you in advance. I'll be sure and award best answer.

I have a Toshiba, less than a year old with a 'Centrino Duo'. Occasionally, in the middle of whatever, the screen will go out; black, not totally off, still glowing. It's still on. But I have to turn it off manually and restart for it get back going. What is this? How do I stop it from happening again?


p.s. It doesn't have the little white button/ push switch.
