I acquired a laptop recently and I want to connect it to the internet using my current set-up that I have with Yahoo/AT&T. Since I don't have the installation disk anymore, does Yahoo have something I can download and transfer it to CD so I can use that info to connect the laptop to the internet?

the following configuration options automaticly updated.
total mem: 262144kb
CMOS checksum invalid default values loaded"

then it goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor like it's waiting a DOS command. or something..

One day randomly after turning on my laptop it froze up after about a minute. So I booted safe mode and started running programs and it worked fine. Tried it again and froze after a couple minutes. Turned it off and later turned it on unplugged and it worked fine. So I tried plugging it in after using it for a couple hours and it froze a minute after plugging it in. I have no idea why. Also, only when it's on the lowest power setting does it work unplugged.

Safe mode or unplugged (power saver mode) works perfectly, plugged in or unplugged in high performance does not.

I can't figure this out.

When it happened I immediately unpluged the computer and I turned it upside down. I also got a blow dryer to try to dry it out. Did I mess it up even worse? Is there hope for my computer?

Thank you!

I would like to spend no more than 400 tops, but would like it to run good and let him have something to do his homework on and the other things he likes to do like myspace, last ninja online, and runescape etc. I really don't know much about computers like ram and megabytes and stuff. Thank you so much...

I have a one and a half year old Dell Latitute D510 laptop with four missing buttons: ENTER key, M, N and comma keys are missing also. Would a pawn shop take it and how much would I get it for it? I think they would offer me 60-75.

I'm using a MAC iBook G4. It will recognize CD-Rs but it won't recognize my DVD-Rs. They're new, spotless, and they're being ejected after inserting them.
What can I do?

Hi, I got my dads used laptop about 3 weeks ago. It has norton in the list of programs, but it is disabled and i cannot run it, as it was his and i don't know the passwords etc. So i didn't have any protection but man, it was so fast. I LOVED how fast it was. About a week ago i downloaded CA virus protection. This screwed up my computer. it was so slow (about 1-2 minutes to open a browser)...so after having enough of that i uninstalled it. well, now my computer is slower than ever! I was trying to type this quesion on my laptop and it keeps freezing up. I ran a internet security check thru symantec and it was fine. then when i try to run a virus check thru symantec it freezes at file 2806. So i can't even do anything on my lap top now. I am on my desktop and it is so slow too. I hate it. Ok, so, how can i make my laptop fast again, what do i need to do? and then what type of free virus protection? Also, what is internet security? do i need that? thanks!

I'm going back to school this winter and want a small laptop. I'm just going to use it for internet, email, writing papers and running World of Warcraft on low settings when I need a break. I know the mac's are a little more but I'm thinking a macbook will give me a better chance of running Warcraft decently. What do you think??
