Laptops & Notebooks - December 2007

When ever I'm playing a game on my laptop, like sims or something online, my laptop, fan starts working really hard. I mean its shooting out lots of hot air, this always happens when I have the power cord plugged in.

When I run on battery alone it doesn't make anywhere near as much noise, its like its quite, itsn't not making the heavy fan noise.

Is there any way to keep it from making that heavy fan noise when I have the power cord plugged in? Because my battery will last maybe 1 to 1:30 max.

My husband bought a laptop from a friend a while back and we don't know the password to start it up. After I push alt+ctrl+del, there is a username in there and I don't know the password. We've tried pushing F8 but it won't let us log in to safe mode or anything else without this password. Is there any way to reset it? Any way to just reinstall Windows and skip this screen?

I am planning to change my video memory to manimum dvmt in phoenix bios utility. But when i enter bios i did not see what settings the websites told and it does not look like what the other websites took screenshot of. I need to press advaced button to change video memory, but I do not have 'Main, Advanced, Power, Boot and Exit' in the menu but rather 'Main, Security, System Configuration, diagnostics and exit'. Here is what other websites took the screenshot of phoenix bios.. http://www.computerhope.com/help/phoenix.htm Why is it not the same? Is my version wrong? Or i cant change the settings?

I just purchased Fujitsu lifebook N6460, but instead of windows vista, i decided to get windows XP on it instead, and with windows XP, i can not install the TV tuner i recieved, which wasn't a big deal for me since I just want to play some games connected to my TV!

On the TV tuner, there is a little slot where i can insert a line which i also recieved with my labtop (which splits into the yellow, white, and red lines) so I went and purchased sound/video connector which i can plug into the tv tuner, and into my TV, but it does not show anything~!

did i purchase a wrong cable line? please help me with this problem, I am very eager to get this working on my TV >.<

I was recently given a used IMB thinkpad laptop computer I am computer illiterate and dont know if it is already internet ready (I haven't tried yet) Do I need to go buy something for it? Do I need internet in my house to be able to use it? Do I need to hook it up to something to be able to use it? I do know some about a regular PC, how different is it from a PC? If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction that would be great Thanks

Computer stupid!

same as above. For instance, say something goes bad in the laptop that a normal person cannot access through the little doors or whatever that for instance ram usually can. Will they actually go in, take apart the laptop, and replace parts like a video card, or even something like the keypad? Thanks!

P.S If they don't do this, is there anybody other than the laptop manufacturer that will do this?

Okay, here's the deal. I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic. I'm trying to put some CDs into my iTunes library, but whenever I put a disc in nothing happens. I can't burn CDs either, because iTunes doesn't seem to realize that I put a blank disc in. In my device manager, under the DVD/CD-ROM Drives list there are two icons, one that says "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N ATA Device" and another that says "NoteBurn Virtual_CD-RW SCSI CdRom Device". Both have little yellow exclamation marks. I tried updating the driver on the first one, but when I clicked "Automatically Search" it told me the driver was up to date, so no progress made. I'm not much of a techie, but I have a bit of common sense, so simple instructions to fix this problem would be really appreciated.
