Ok, so, I have a laptop, or as I like to say, the craptop. I try to play games on it, but they run ALL SO BADLY. Can anyone recommend some good graphics cards for laptops. I've read all of the other questions, and I don't know if I have a PCI port or whatever it is. Also, does the type of maker of the computer work? My laptop is a Compaq, but runs Windows XP. Thanks!

ok, so i have a laptop, the hp dv6000 which is notorious for the wireless card failure(i disregarded this when it happened), but when my mother turned it on with out plugging in the power cord in(only had the battery in) the computer emitted a long beep followed by 2 short beeps, and the monitor never turned on.

What do i do to fix this?

When I open Internet Explorer, it says something about a DNS error in the status bar and I get an error message (Sorry, I can't remember how it was now).

Anyway, I test the connection on my wireless and wired connections. Turns out I have a problem with the following ports-

http: 80
https: 443
ftp: 21.

Also, I tried using Windows Live Messenger and it came up with an error code of 80072ee7.

I have Windows XP, BTW.

I just got a new HP laptop. I have already had to get the keyboard replaced because I key was off when I purchased it last Saturday. Best buy did it when I brought it back since they had no more to switch it out for. Since then, I have had two other problems. First, the battery only lasts 1 hour maybe 1 1/2 hour on the recommended power save options. Second, the computer froze yesterday. I could not get it to unfreeze. It was frozen for 15 minutes. The clock stopped so I know. The keyboard would not respond (if I pressed caps lock the light would not light and the wireless switch stayed lit too even if I turned it off). Also, the power switch would not respond. I had to eject the battery to get it to come back on. Is this normal? Should I return this computer to best buy for a refund?

Is the nvidia 570M a good video card? Especially for WoW and other games. The computer has 2gb of ram and a dual 2gz processor.
Thanks

I will be getting a new laptop and like most am torn between Dell and Hp. I reallly prefer the look of the HP but most of the HP's that are comparable in price to a Dell with similar specs have an AMD Athlon 64X2. This is the only way the HP's can compete in price with the Dell. I was particularly looking at a Dell Vostro 1400 or 1500 vs an HPdv6605Ca. The Hp is on sale right now at future shop for 749 and the comparable Dell is 919. Not sure if I should go with the HP or Dell. I hate the look of the Vostros, they are so boring but it's what's inside that counts right? This is why I'm so torn. Also the Dell has basic microsoft office included whereas the HP has only the trial version.
I really need help fast cause I'm planning to purchase on Monday! I want the notebook for X-mas!

I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 I got it about 2 1/2 years ago and all of a sudden the battery will not charge and the power charger has to be in a funky position to turn the computer on. I want to know how I can fix these problems if they are worth fixing. If they aren't is there a good way to get money for my old one.

I am getting ready to sell my computer on ebay so I want all my information to be completely erased. Is there anyway to do this because I know files are always kept hidden somewhere even if you delete them out of Add/Remove Programs?

OK so I bought a Gateway laptop with my graduation money on bestbuy.com and recieved it in June, in September the hard drive went out and I took it to the geek squad at the local best buy, they fixed it but about three weeks ago the hard drive went out again and best buy had to send it to gateway to be fixed( because they thought it was the motherboard) so anyway gateway has had my computer this whole time and i still havent got it back yet, I have complained to gateway about the product because this is the second time this happened and i think they should send me a new coputer since i havent even had this one for a year but they wont send me one and basically arent backing up their warranty.

what should i do? i'm a college student and cant afford to buy a new computer or have this kind of stuff keep happening. BTW, i am using someone else's desktop to ask this question so no stupid answers like "how are you asking this question when you don't have your computer?"

I made the switch from PC to mac a few months ago, with the new imac. I'm going to college next year, and for Christmas I'm getting a laptop. I'm deciding between macbook and macbook pro. I was thinking the white 2.2 ghz, but once I added more memory and hard drive (is this needed?) it's only 200 less than the cheapest macbook pro. If someone could go through the pros and cons of each (for someone who is pretty computer illiterate.. like I'm not even sure what the hard drive does...).

If it helps, I'm going to be majoring in writing, but the kind I'm doing is in the media department, so I'll be taking media production classes and such.
