Okay, recently my laptop is being strange. A few days ago I uninstalled this online game that I didn't want to play anymore. Then later on, I noticed my laptop's audio and video being slow and scratchy. So I restarted it and it took a longer time than usual. The video and audio was still slow. It's very frustrating and I want it to get fixed quickly. Should I go to the Geek Squad?

I'm choosing between Asus, Acer, HP, Dell, Toshiba, fujitsu and Sony, here are the specs I will prefer.

Intel C2D T5600
1GB Ram,
XP Home
100Gb HDD
Wifi
DVD optical drive
and less than 2Kg.

I plan to buy a laptop for my university engineering course.

However, overheating has become an issue so I seriuosly need some advice to to buy one. I'm kinda worried for the overheating and hardware failure (which my friend has experienced it with Dell).

What do you think about dell?

Which brand is good for this purpose and which is not?

I have battle for midearth 1 and i'm trying to play it on a 2.2 ghz laptop with 256 mb memory and 7500 ATI video card. It says make sure your hardware acceleration is up (mine is) and it says I may not have the proper video card, but the requirements are ATI 7500. Why won't it play?

I heard that computers, like many electrical appliances, have a so-called "life-span" such that watching too much videos may shorten its usability. How true is that? Thanks!

this is what happened. 2 weeks ago i had to reset my packard bell easynote r4622 windows xp sp2 to factory settings using the recovery boot disk i created from it a year ago. halfway through the recovery, something went wrong and it said that some files on the disc are missing and the laptop went and stuck in dos mode. now whenever i turn it on, all i get on the sceen is microsoft windos 98 followed by C:\> waiting for a command. i got the proper master recovery cd's from packard bell. i have tried these discs but the dvd drive won't read them and it just returns to the dos screen again. when i went in to the bio system and selected to read the discs, it says there is no bootable disc in the drive. i have also tried this with the original recovery disc and norton ghost bootable disc and that's all it keeps saying. i have put these discs in to my other laptop and there is nothing wrong with the discs as they all show ok. i have a usb dvd rom drive but won't work. any ideas?

I am a fifteen year old girl. I am a vegetarian...for breakfast I eat a bowl of Special K cereal with skim milk, after that I run a mile and do crunches, sit ups, leg lifts, and push ups. for lunch I usually have a veggie sandwich. for dinner I usually have two tacos with black beans and cheese and salsa (on soft corn tortillas). All I drink is water with my meals. My only snack the whole day is a nonfat iced tall caramel macciato at Starbucks which is 140 calories and about a cup of fresh blue berries. I have not had a soda or sweet tea in a year. Am I healthy? what else can I do to be healthier?

I am leaning towards getting a Mac (my cousin the computer expert says that they're waaaayyyyy better) but I realize that there are so many Windows programs, so I don't know if I should get a Mac. I have some CDs that I use for school, and I need Windows to use them, is there any way I can use them on a Mac?
