It says I have Vista Home Premium, but when I try to go on Word it asks for a product key code. Does this mean i have to pay for and download the upgrade?

I am after a laptop for email, chat, browsing net, downloading music and maybe watch occasional movie. I am on a budget maybe nothing more than $1200 preferably less. I have no idea of the terminology & what I need to look for in a good laptop. Most answers to these questions have said Dell or HP but which model? I need to request a quote from a supplier who I can get a good deal with through work, what brand & model should I ask to be quoted on? Hope I am specific enough for you to help me.

I want to buy a decent gaming laptop around the price 1100$-1200$. It would be better if it can run games like Splinter cell:DA. Mention the specs also.

After hours of help from Netgear - I was finally able to connect to the internet from my wired computer.
I really know nothing about computers - so here's my question: do I need to keep the router
connected to the modem for my wired desktop? Will the laptop run at my son's jr. college that has wi-fi without the router, or does he have to disconnect the router and take it with him everytime he takes it to school? Thanks for your help!

My son has a rel problem with his Dell laptop. A friend told him that the laptop runs on battery whether or not it is plugged in to AC and this depletes the battery life. It is also a problem in that you think you are fully charged, but since the computer has actually been draining the battery, you might unplug when you are near the bottom of the batttery cycle and find your battery is flat in just a few minutes. This happens to my son all the time, so I believe the description. This has happened since the laptop was new, also. He has had it for a year and a half and he's on his second factory battery. Is this normal?

What brand is the best for battery life and performance?

Thanks for your suggestions.

It is hard to explain what it is doing. Sometimes it just flickers into a dimmer projection, sometimes the images on the screen and the windows become distorted. Colors will sometimes become inverted. It can be temporarily fixed just by grabbing the screen and sort of twisting it slightly. I don't know if it would be a problem with the video card since twisting the screen makes it turn back to normal. Any ideas?

I don't have a taskbar, like the bar at the bottom of your screen that has the start button n stuff. I have absolutely no desktop... like no image or icons just a blank white screen. I don't have the scrollbar thing when I touch the side of my touchpad on this laptop... my default settings like the appearance for my computer has obviously been removed... I can no longer control the sound cause when I turn it up it doesn't work...

was it hacked?
help me find out whats wrong pleasee
