Laptops & Notebooks - December 2007

I have a HP notebook PC. My older brother downloaded limewire about half a year ago. But this is the real problem. My friend told me that limewire messed up his computer, and it shut-down by itself.

Does limewire do any harmful things to your comp/ laptop? Does it make it slower than usual? Please answer!

Hello, I was wondering if the Macbook would be a good Christmas present for me to get. I am a student and I have to do a lot of papers and projects on the computer, I LOVE to do photoshop/ & paintshop pro, I listen to music 24/7 when I am on the computer, and I love Macs. Do you think the price of a Macbook is worth my parents getting me one for Christmas? I have been using my moms old Dell for the past 2 years and I really need a new laptop and since I love Macs, I decided I wanted a Macbook. Besides, Im turning 15 soon and I will most likely need it in highschool.

I have a Compaq and since last night, the charger only works from an angle. so that means i have to hold it at that angle for it to charge. I have tried taping it down, glueing it (i know, pathetic), and nothing has worked. I dont want to tell my dad because he will get EXTREMELY mad for ruining my computer. I got this laptop last year for christmas. Right now it is staying at that angle and im getting lucky. I hope this doesnt mean i have to buy a new charger.

Help??

I have a Toshiba Satellite L25-1215 which currantly has a Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor which runs at 1.5GHz but only one core. I just upgraded to Vista, upgraded the RAM from 256mb to 2GB, but the CPU runs at 100% even under light loads of work. Could I do the install myself with some decent instructions? Or would I need to take it to an expert?

Hey everyone, yesterday my laptop's charger (toshiba) was working just fine untill it suddenly started making weird noise and cutting off, untill it finally stopped working completely. Since i cant live 15 minutes without my laptop as soon as my battery ran out i ran across the house looking for charger's that fit, & my HP Charger fit & my laptop charged normaly. BUT my brother made me unplug it & said this will mess up my laptop. im not sure what he was saying but it has something to do with the info he read off the charger. So the question is: is it safe to use my HP charger on my Toshiba laptop?

Ok, here's my problem. When I start my IBM laptop, I can't get past this screen. The Screen has the Logo IBM, and then underneath it has the instructions to press f2 for help and then underneath it has scrolling code that has the words boot device next to it. The last thing I did on was watch a movie, and I shut it down properly. I have no idea what the operating system is, but it's an IBM laptop. Any help given would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
