Right, I'm thinking of buying a laptop off eBay. But it has Windows Vista Basic, now, no offence to Vista lovers, but I hate it! Anyway I was wondering is there anyway of knowing before I buy this laptop that I can definatly downgrade to Windows XP? And I've tried looking for the hardware manufactures names websites etc. But there is no manufactures stated in the item description, for example it says: SOUND - Internal soundcard. And it's not just that it's the same with the HDD and Graphics Card some other hardware as well. So the question is; Is there anyway of finding out weather I can downgrade this laptop to Windows XP like it should be! Without knowing the manufactures of the hardware?

Thanks, Jamie

I own an ASUS D1 series portable computer. Just recently the LCD screen suddenly turns off and no hard disk activity is present as if my unit freezes. The power is still on though and the processor fan still running. It's not because of the power settings... I already checked that. When I reset the unit everything becomes fine but after certain minutes my unit freezes again, LCD turns blank, and my unit becomes unresponsive. I've tried reseting multiple times but after 3, 4, 6 minutes it happens again. It's also not a virus. Can someone help me with this?

I used Symantic Ghoast which i learned is hidden in most dell computer. It reinstalled my OS and it all worked good, until i went to intall my antivirus. The cd spins around but the drive doesnt show up in my computer.

My power cord for my laptop has become loose. I guess it's more the outlet that it goes into the computer. It can be plugged in but if the computer wiggles it stopps charging even though it's still plugged into the computer. Does anyone know of a way to fix this...I'm at the point where I don't care if it has to be permantly attached. It's an IBM ThinkPad, don't know if that matters or not.

Explain this?
On a pc, when you click properties:
Size is 300byte, size on disk is 30 kb, why the difference?

what does size and size on disk mean>>??

Also, why is it that when you right click a folder icon on the pc desktop, in properties, the size is only 80kb and when I high - lited all the files in the folder and then right clicked, the properties showed there is more than 5 Gb of data...

Right now I am backing up my files, I don't know if it makes any difference if I back up the shortcut icons on the desktop comparing to the "real file", or maybe they are the same thing??

hmmm......HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is the recommended choice for my laptop?

Is it Normal startup, diagnostic or selective?

If I go to start up and remove some start up icons, the system automatically chooses selective startup. So which is the recommended option for my laptop?

Please explain whats the use of this! In the process of messing with it and a few restarts, some of my wifi settings which were wrong actually became right on its own. I was quite happy about it!!

But I somehow am unable to figure out this msconfig thing and please tell me when should I go in there and what are its uses.

Appreciate the help folks!

I'm trying to add more memory to my Inspiron 6000 laptop. It has two bays, and I currently have a 512 MB stick in each for a total of 1 GB. I just bought two new 1 GB sticks of the correct type and speed, to up my total to 2 GB. When I install the two new sticks, however, my computer freezes up while trying to boot into Windows Vista, on the loading screen with the scrolling bar. I know the RAM is good because if I install just one of either of the new 1 GB sticks and leave one of my memory bays open Windows loads up fine. I can also boot into safe mode with both new sticks installed. I have done a memory test with both new sticks installed and they passed.

Help is appreciated!
