I know that on a regular keyboard you can remove the keys so you can clean under them. But I am not sure on a laptop keyboard. There is some cat hair under my keys but not sure how I can clean under there. Do you know anyway of doing that? Not sure if I can remove the keys nor do I know how to remove the keyboard itself..thanks for your help.

I've been hearing Vista is a nightmare and Apple is the way to go now. I've never used one...are they difficult to get used to? I need a basic one...internet, music, photos, thats about it. Do they have Microsoft Word or do I have to buy something separate to have it? Any help would be great!

I recently upgraded my laptop to vista and now I want to go back to xp.

I forgot to create a restore point before I did this and I also cant find my xp disc either.

I was wondering if I can download the windows operating system from anywhere or even copy it from my wifes laptop onto mine?

Is any of this possible?

Is there anything I can do to lift the restrictions or is there somewhere I can go to have it "fixed"?

Does norton eat up a lot of virtual memory? I've been noticing that I'm a little low on it. Is there an alternative anti-virus program that can be downloaded for free? I would try the AVG, but the free version offers no spy-ware protection.

The WIFI will connect but it is slow when connecting to pages using Internet explorer 7 (or sometimes does not connect at all). I also tried firefox. My desktop is on the same network (and is WIFI) and does not have this problem. I tried disabling many vista security features but that helped little. The WIFI component is a 802.11b/g. Sometimes WIFI works good but it generaly causes more of a hassle than anything. My friend brought over his Dell XPS and it connected with no problems. What are my options to fix this problem?

Specs. of my laptop are:
- Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit)
- AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core TL-50(1.6GHz/512KB)
- 14.1 WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800)
- NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150
- 2GB 2 Dimm
- 60GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
- 8X DVD+/-R/RW w/Double Layer Support
- 802.11b/g WLAN
- No TV Tuner w/remote control
- High Capacity 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
- Microsoft(R) Works 8.0
- System Recovery DVD w/Windows Vista Home Basi

my laptop is 700MHz, with 64MB memory. it's running WinXP Home Ed. my screen freezes up when I click things too fast. is it because it's running XP with only 64MB? if i switch it to Win2000, would it run faster? or it simply needs more memory?

please help and give me some opinions. thanks!

I live in the middle of nowhere with slowest dialup connection know to man. I'm stuck with it for at least another 2 years. In the meantime, I would like to make the dialup more convenient to use for my laptop.

Is there some kind of hardware that can be used to do this? If so, please give me the brand name so I know what to buy.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I want to uninstall windows XP, I was told to format my c drive but it won't let me untill the volume is dismounted. I don't know wot this is, how do i dismount the volume? The computer said " format cannot run because the volume is in use by another format. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first". I have no idea wot this means, please help.

I have gained the opinion that laptops are risky for businesses to use. I just had a client have his hard drive crash and it's going to cost $800 - $2400 to recover the data. Of course this can happen with a desktop,.....but, and here's the clincher for me, the desktop lends itself to more seamless backup/recovery solutions. Also, what if something other than the hard drive fails? Even warranty work takes a long time with laptops....so what do you use while the laptop is having "diagnostics" done? What are your thoughts?

my AC power adapter suddenly stopped working, so i bought a new one and what i noticed is that the computer does not recognize this adapter (even though it's the same model as the old one & as written on the laptop itself). Now, when plugged to the adapter the laptop is working on the AC adapter, however the battery does not charge (and it doesn't decrease as well). Please help!
