Hi,

I bought my laptop last week and I had no problems until yesterday when it decided to start playing up. When I turn it on the Xp logo just loads for hours on end and it never finishes, but it does boot in safe mode.
Because the laptops so new I haven't made a backup copy and the I can't use the system console on the Xp Disk cause I haven't got it.

Does any one have any idea what I should do?

Regards

Some are telling me that these two processors are the exact same thing. However, I find it hard to believe that Intel would create two different names for the same processor.

My daughter will be Graphic Design major and needs a mac. I don't want the Apple Store salesman to tell me what I need, so I'm coming to you! Also, will her Mac work on our existing wireless network (windows?) What about her printer?

Since my laptop is my lifeline and I am no nerd, I was wondering if installing genuine OS, genuine anti virus (want to know which is a good one) and other maintenance software is necessary? So many of my friends think I am being overcautious... all I want is to have my new laptop (IBM) purring like a Ferrari! Sincerely appreciate good, detailed advice.

It is a Gateway laptop. It has speakers in it. When I try to turn it up it says no audio devices installed. Somebody please help!!!

I have purchased a gateway laptop (MT3708) and would like to upgrade its RAM. My question is can I use almost any 1 gig Dimm which is DDR 533(PC2 4200) in this system. I was thinking of using the Crucial module on http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?ATT=0&CMP=AFC-SlickDeals&Submit=ENE&N=2000260381+1309221133+1309121113&name=1GB

The corsair memory selector recommended Part No. CT672814 1GB, 200-pin SODIMM to me.


At one point, I believe that RAM was very specific to each system, thus when not purchasing it, you had to go through the manufacturer. I'm not sure if those days are over.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Zorba

Hi,

I have an assignment in which a question is about how a low-power CPU (those in laptops) further reduces its power requirement when its idle. Does anyone know? Any internet sources?

Thanks in advance.

I pretty much only run IE and MS Word. I am planning to buy a system with an Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2080 operating at 1.73GHz and 512 MB of RAM running WindowVista. Will that be enough so that it runs smoothly?

I need to clean my registry key.
my laptop is now going very slow i have done these things to try and help speed it up

1) Scaned my laptop
2) Done a Disk Defragmenter
3) disk clean
4) deleted all the thing from programs to picture that i dont need.
5) and i have also cleaned my internet history as i was told that could make my computer slower.

right i have used CCleaner but that keeps sayin that there is the same amount of problems with my reg key even when i have just scaned it with the CCleaner

so is there any good free reg cleaners out there about from CCleaner.

thanks

i need a video card that will fit in a dell d/dock (pci half height) and produce a resolution near 2560x1600 (30" res)

it doesnt have to be that high of a res but closer the better.

or does anyone know another way to make a dell lat d620 with integrated graphics produce a resolution such that it fills the 30" lcd screen without being to grainy? right now it makes a square in the middle with black screen around it or if streched looks blurry or really grainy
