Laptops & Notebooks - November 2007

Suddenly lost 40 gigs or so. Did a Spyware scan, slowed the loss of GB. Now at 15.9 ( On a 120GB laptop. ) I really just want to reclaim the lost GB, someone said to look in. C > Windows > system32. And to look for duplicate files. Is there an easier way then too do that? Anyways, doing another Defrag, and diskclean up. And a Virus scan. But is there MORE I could be doing here? Thanks.

I recently bought an HP Pavillion DV 6000 Notebook with Windows Home Premium and since I have an internet connection I also bought a Belkin wireless router for it. My problem is everytime I want to use the internet on my notebook it either:

A) Does not connect at all and a message saying "Unsuccesfully Connected" shows up
or
B) I connect to the internet but after awhile (about 10 or 15 min. later) it no longer loads any web pages but yet it still shows me having an active internet connection between the router and the computer.

I have reset the router, reset the notebook, moved closer to the router, reset the internet modem, tried repairing the connection, reinstalled Windows and I have even directly connected the notebook to the router. Nothing seems to work and yes I do have a strong signal. I dont know what to do. Why cant I connect to the internet wirelessly? If I do connect, why doesnt it load any web pages anymore wirelessly or wired? Please this is driving me crazy.

I am getting a new laptop soon, the only thing is that I am not exactly loaded so I'll be getting a budget one with an Intel Celeron processor, probably a new 500 series M version.

Now I've used Celerons for ages, never found them to be that bad, but I know they use a little bit more power than Pentiums and AMD processors.

How much is battery life in a laptop affected by a Celeron processor?

Cheers

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 it was constantly over heating and shutting down or running at the speed of supper slow so about 3 weeks ago I had a friend system restore it for me with the disks that dell provided when we were done my speakers didn’t work I had no internet and it lost my printer! I think we might have installed windows on top of windows because now I’m running out of memory (it wasn’t even half way full before the system restore) somebody pleas tell me how to wipe out my hard drive completely and start over!

I have an nvidia geforce go 6150, which has 128 mb of dedicated memory. Right now, there is 271 mb of shared system memory, for a total of 399mb of graphics memory. However, it is supposed to provide up to 559 mb of total graphics memory. So, how exactly do I increase the total shared system memory?

Why is it called a laptop if you have to keep it plugged in for top performance? I called Best Buy and they told me to expect slower performance to save the battery. Doesnt that contradict the reason for having a laptop in the first place?

I have dialup at home, but wanted to use the internet with my daughter's highspeed connection. My laptop has wireless and accessed her broadband; it said I was connected. However, when I clicked the Internet Explorer icon, my PC prompted me to connect using my dialup connection (just like there was no connection yet). What do I need to do to let my PC know which connection to use? I have used two different dialup connections in one day without a problem.

I have an HP laptop with Windows Vista with an integrated video card (Intel 945GM). I've been trying to play the game but after I launch, let's say Team Fortress 2, and try to join a server, I get the Windows box informing me that hl2.exe has stopped working. I've downloaded the latest drivers and updates and what not. It still isn't working. It's probably my graphics card. But, I want to play! Is there any way around this problem???

I don't know exactly how laptop screens work, but if a screen has to be backlit anyway, wouldn't any additional color need extra energy?

Acer AS59206470 Worth my money? or not? Buy now? Buy later?

Hi, I am looking to buy a new laptop,
I been using Toshiba's Satellite for about two years but the problem with Toshiba was the recovery disc never works for me.

I'm looking at this Acer AS59206470 model, it seems like a pretty good price for me with the features.
• Intel Core 2 Duo T5250
• 200GB hard drive
• Built-in 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN• 2GB of DDR2 memory
• Burns DVDs and CDs
• Built-in webcam

Can someone please give me advice about this laptop, and let me know what's the pro/con about Acer? Does Acer have a nice recovery system?

& If I really plan on buying this laptop, should I go buy it now at CC or wait until Thanksgiving week or during Christmas? When would be the best time to buy?

does it seem like small business laptops are better equipped and are cheaper than dell's home laptops?
When checking them out, it always seems that way.
