I have a WHITE iBook G4. Well, it WAS a white Mac anyway. It's gotten a bit on the dirty side in the last few years, and I would like to know if there were some easy ways to clean it without resorting to go to Fry's Electronics to buy some super-uber, fantastic computer cleaning product that costs a bundle. I've tried water and tissue but the dirt is resisting my attempts! Other than that, if there is no other alternative, Fry's here I come!

I'm shopping around for a notebook computer and am constantly seeing the nVIDIA logo followed by a series of numbers, and an description declaring that it is the latest and greatest in 3D rendering. About an hour ago, I even saw the nVIDIA quadro... no numbers following it all!

I am not an intense gamer, but I do love to play my share. I especially am thinking of something like WoW or really any MMO, and possibly some FPS games. Can someone explain to me the number system behind nVIDIA and give me some direction as to which are good, better, and best?

I tried to make a "Magic Movie" earlier today and the audio kept cutting out. Also, sometimes the video image "froze". The amount of RAM is 512 MB - do I need more, or do I have a problem with my Firewire cable, or both? The computer's clock speed is 1.5 GHz, and I think the hard drive speed is 4,200 rpm, but it might be 5,200 rpm (not quite sure at this time - will check later). Any help? I'm trying to make a basic music video, and no sound = this ain't right! Help!!! Thanks!!!

Forgot - all programs other than the video recording program were closed.

I wanted to delete my temp files. I went to find internet options and was afraid to delete the cookies. XP used to have an option to delete temp files. I checked to see how many files there were and I noticed that some of the last modified are from 1994 up to when I got this new comp.. can someone explain why? Does this mean I did not get new computer? Totally confused. Thanks for any suggestions. Laptop is running slow also.

Okay well sorry for the lack of technical lingo...
I just posted a question about getting a new ac adaptor because I thought mine had been bent in a direction for too long that made it not function properly. I also noticed that the metal tip was extremly hot and so was the hole that I plug it into.

Anyways today I got the new powercord and saw that my computer wasn't charging again. I touched the hole and it literally burnt my fingers it was so hot. So it has to be a problem with my actual lap top right?
What could be wrong with my laptop to make that hole so hot, and what can I do about it/ where can I take it?

It is a compaq presario and I usually have it turned on all the time.

Thanks for any help!

Hey all,
I was checking out the Macbook Pro 15" with 2.4 ghz, 160gb at 7200rpm and the Apple Care. Im going to be doing Political Science and a second major in business, and I was going to install Windows on the Mac. Should I get this laptop, or get a PC based laptop? I like how easy yet sophisticated Mac is, plus its durability and quality of care Apple gives its customers (had an ipod for 4 years and never had any problems with their service)

okay i have no idea what is wrong with my laptop.. but it wont turn on. it used to turn on for like five minutes, then turn back off. now it doesnt turn on at all. someone told me i needed a new charger, so i bought a new charger, but it still didnt work. it used to work perfectly fine before i took it to another country. i did charge it there using a power converter, i dont know if that would do anything but i guess that information kinda helps. i dont want to take it to a geek squad or anything that will cost me to check it out. i have a compaq laptop. bought it 2 years ago... any suggestions on what i should try to do will really help

I believe that my laptop keeps automatically shutting itself down because it is heating up too quickly. So to prevent this in the future, what is a suitable surface to leave it on (where it won't heat up as easily) ?
