I want to know if my computer can meet the requirements listed on the box for any particular game I may buy but all I can find is the processor info (MHz) or RAM capacity.

i just recently bought a new laptop with the following specs:
intel core 2 duo T 7300 2.0 ghz
2 gb RAM
Nvidia 8600 GMT
120 GB 5400 rpm ghard drive
it's a vostro and i should be able to play most games; however when i play half life 2 my computer gets really hot and starts making all this noise and sometimes the game freezes. No it's not the problem with my hardware because even the game itself is recommending my system to the highest possible video settings and my computer has a 5.3 on the vista scoring index thingy. So is it safe for me to continue playing?

So, I have a Dell Latitude D600 and its hard drive failed 2 weeks after the warranty ran out (go figure). I was just wondering if I could use one of my external hard drives as a primary hard drive, and how to go about doing so.

It is hard for me to explain but it is very difficult to see on my laptop, especially videos and pictures.
When I press my thumb hard against the screen the colour and clearness comes back perfectly, then when I take my thumb off it goes away again.
Any ideas on how to fix?

I got a brand new Lenovo laptop 2 weeks ago. I've been using the wireless internet through the family computers router and its been working perfectly. I've been all over the house with it and always have great service. Then I turned it on this morning and the internet wont work. I've tried everything. I even spent an hour being transferred through all the different extensions on their "help" line until the guy told me to go online and get help from their website- hello, no internet. So now I'm back at square one. Why did it suddenly stop? And how can I get it back working? I called comcast and he told me to restart my computer... Like I didnt think of that yet. I can't find help anywhere! Please help!!

A friend of mine just bought a new HP laptop with Vista and in setting up the wireless it works itermittently or sometimes shuts off for a while. Ive already configured the the router twice and tried changing the channel. There are also no other networks in area and even if its within five feet of router it dies the same thing. I was thinking compatability issues and I need to to insert the card into the laptop or there is some setting I am overlooking. Any suggestions will be helpful since this getting annoying since her old laptop never had problem with this at all.

I tripped on my laptop cable and now I have a problem recharging my battery. The laptop will still work from the battery, but if I only plus the AC adapter in, it won't charge. BUT, if I connect a USB device like a printer, or an s-video cable connected to my TV, then the battery charges and the laptop will run off the AC.

I also notice that I don't necessarily have to put the USB cable firmly in the port; as long as it's just touching some metal on the inside the laptop, it will charge. It could have something to do with being a ground....

Any ideas on what I can do or should do?

After installing iTunes 7.4.1 and being told to restart I did (I'm not saying iTunes has anything to do with this). Rather than rebooting my PC just shutdown, went past the dell POST screen and then just sat there with a flashing cursor.

I thought there must be a boot problem, so I started the Windows XP recovery console (I have WinXP Pro SP2) and chose to FIXBOOT and FIXMBR, as well as running BOOTCFG and checking all was well.

Restarted and still no luck. I went into BartPE (a version of WinXP you can boot from CD-ROM) and find that my drive C is still perfectly accessible. I've swapped the hard drive now for an old one I had lying around that had WinXP on and this is how I'm using it now - what can I do to check what's wrong, and what can I do to fix things?

I have a D600, and had to re-format the hard drive. After I loaded all of my drivers back in, I can't seem to get my wireless to work. It still has the question mark under device manager for that network controller.

I know it has a built in mini pci card, but all of the drivers I have downloaded from dell (Intel Prolink, etc) for this machine will not work. Do I need to look for a specific driver, or should I just give up and buy another wireless adapter.

It used to work great. Also the driver for the wireless isn't on my utilities disk.

Thanks!!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with 2GB of memory and the ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 video card. I know it probably wont play perfect but it is stuttering to much and I was wondering if I can improve that? It played one day pretty good but I dont know what I did to it so I know it can play somewhat on my computer. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Help, I need a new laptop and don't have a clue to buy. I'd like to use the laptop to watch videos, create videos and assorted mp3s to upload to various media sites.

What laptops would you recommend? How much working memory would you suggest that I consider buying? Are there any features that you would suggest for these uses?

Any help will be truly appreciated. Thanks!!
