I keep getting an error message like this no matter what media player I use (Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem) I do set screen area to 800x600 pixels, and your color depth to 16-Bit still no help. I am a comp idiot please help!!

I have a Compaq Presario notebook, and I also have an HP Pavilion I want to know if there is a way that i can use my recovery cds from my HP in my COMPAQ. When I tried it out it said that the system does not support it. Is there any other way? (I would use my recovery for my compaq, but i never made cds to recover, because i have a recovery system that does not use cds, and when i start my notebook up im supposed to hit F11 to begin the recovery process, but when i go to do it the F11 button doesnt do anything.) please help thanks

I am getting a Dell XPS Laptop Model M1330. I want to know if 1 GB of RAM will be good enough for it.
Here is what I plan to use it for:
-General Use(Internet, e-mail)
-Watching movies, listening to music
-And playing some video games, like Halo.
Will the RAM be good enough? Should I upgrade to 2 gigs for $150? Please help.
Thank you!

Is it reasonable and safe to get a refurbished laptop? Who sells them? I've had good luck with other refurb products. Once I got a reject and sent it right back for full refund. I wouldn't buy one without that option.

Every time I watch an animated movie on my laptop the lighter images leave long lasting shadows on the darker areas of the animation.

Why does this happen? It gets annoying and it's hard to ignore. Is there something I can do to make it stop?

I am hesitating btw 13.3'' MacBook (2.16GHz Core 2 Duo 1GB/120GB/SuperDrive) and Sony VGN-FZ 190 (T7300, 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo, 15.4" WXGA-HC).
I will work a lot with photos (editing with Photoshop and reviewing).
Specific questions (Sony vs MacBook):
1. Quality of monitor, 15.4" 1280X800 WXGA (HC) vs 13.3'' active-matrix 1280 x 800 TFT/XGA

2. NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GT vs Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM

3. T7300 (2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo) of Sony vs 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook

4. Vista (or XP) vs MacOS v10.4 Tiger

On the other hand, 15.4" vs 13.3'' (of course, on the price of:
• 5.75 lb vs 5.1 lb, and
• 14"x0.98 1.4"x10.02" vs 12.78"X1.08"X8.92"
• They might also have other significant differences that I just don’t understand enough to point out. Please help if I missed something important.

Please suggest.
