i got a new laptop and it has windows vista. i was just messing around and i found this program called roxio. i dont remember how i got to it but all i remember was clicking something in this menu that said burn to disc and it asked if i wanted to burn the dvd in my drive onto a blank disc. i hit yes and it asked for me to put in a blank cd. so i did but then i had accidently exited out. now i dont no how to get there. i looked up the program name in the search and it came up with 3 things. the first thing was called creator basic and i thnk that was it but wen i click on it nothing happens. so i tried the other one and it was called express labeler. well that wasnt it. so i tried the last one . my dvd basic v9 . it wasnt the one either. does anyone know what im talking about?? is it the creator basic?? im not sure what i did.

I was ripping CDs onto my laptop. In the middle of ripping one CD it stopped. In the column that shows which tracks had been ripped and which were pending it said 'Error' for one of the tracks and didn't appear to be ripping any more. I tried to eject the CD a few times, but it wouldn't let me. Within the next thirty seconds it ejected, but when I put in another CD it wouldn't read it. I shut down the laptop for a few minutes, but after turning it back on it still won't read the CDs. It's plugged in and the battery is full, if that means anything. I have no idea what made it stop working.

The other day my Acer laptop of 1.5 years took very long to load up (the windows XP blue line load thing). Then there was a black screen for a long time, then the laptop itself performed a scan on the C: drive, and then when this was done, it said that it 'recovered' some files. Ever since then, my laptop has been running very slow: long time to open programmes etc. But it is slightly faster after one hour or so. Now whenever I turn it on, it takes like 15-20 min to properly load, and also the programmes and all are very slow. What's wrong? Is it the hard-drive?

New laptop came with Vongo, but it uses up a lot of system resources for a program I don't use. So uninstalled it through add/remove programs. Vongo kept trying to reinstall itself and eventually laptop would not boot up. So had to reinstall Windows Vista but only had the retail version so Vongo is gone but I am missing lots of programs. More importantly Quickplay will not work and my built-in webcam is now useless.
Contacted HP technical help and was told that I would have to purchase recovery CD or jump through several hoops such as downloading quickplay from a non HP website with the warning that if I do and the laptop gets screwed, they are not responsible.
Apparently they are also charging 19.95 for Vongo to be removed.
So basically they installed a program onto a new laptop that messes up the laptop if you uninstall it. And they want you to pay for them to fix it. There are lots of people out there interested in suing Vongo or HP. Can I sue and can it go class-action

I've had a laptop returned to me, from a field employee that, won't turn on. It is fairly new. It has a CentrinoDuo processor. The battery physically tests at 50% power, but the laptop is getting no juice. I've tried plugging in the a/c. I've also tried plugging in the a/c and removing the battery. Nothing seems to get the laptop to turn on or receive any juice whatsoever. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!! :)

I sent it in thinking that my laptop would be repaired because it was under warranty, but then I was looking at the site and they have list of the cost of repairs and parts!! What kind of warranty is that. I was just wondering If Im going to be charged without knowing or if it will be covered by the warranty.

I am going to buy an Alienware Laptop Area 51m-5550. It will cost around 999$, and 1200$ with tax and shipping.. My question is should i buy now, or wait 2 months when school starts so i can maybe get some "promotions" or "discounts". AW team said they do not hold any back to school savings, however, they do around the fall release something new.

-Problem is, my cheap laptop isnt nothing special or one of their prized gaming beasts.. So if they introduce a promotion, it probably wont affect a cheap as it is Alienware laptop like mine. Instead it will target the expensive higher ranked models.

*Am i right and should i buy now,
or ..... (your opinion).......

Thanks in Advance...!!!!!

I am saving some money, what ever is left from my bills, to buy a laptop before i leave for college next january. I found these two that i like, can you tell me which one is better? I am familiar with laptops, but not brands for speakers, sound, performance. I am an amature gamer, so something that won't blow up will be great... I haven't played WoW yet, and dont plan on it. Thanks
HP dv6000t- Core2Duo T5600 (1.83GHz/2MB),
1GB memory, 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400, 80GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive,

Dell Inspiron E1705- CoreDuo T2350 (1.83 GHz/2MB), 2 GB memory, 120 GB Hard Drive, 256 MB NVIDIA Ge Force Go 7900 GS, Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD

The Dell will cost me $1,368 and the HP $1,211... I understand the cost should be balanced with performance but honestly, I'm not sure what to look for. Thanks for your help. Sorry if I sound alittle lost.
