Laptops & Notebooks - December 2007

My step mom just got a new computer with Vista pre-installed on it. We're trying to connect it to the internet at her home and it doesn't work. The computer recognizes and connects to the modem, but then it says that it can't connect to the internet. The internet is working perfectly as well as the modem.

I have my own laptop loaded with Vista and have had the same problem...I was some how able to finally change some setting and then my laptop works just fine. But I can't remember what I did to fix it. Any ideas?

I am a college senior in my mid 20's, and I have an hp laptop but I like the sony pink laptops. I was thinking of getting one but someone said that pink laptops are for younger girls. Then someone else said that pink is just not cool although its a sony. What do you think? Would you buy a pink laptop? Am I too old? Im 24 by the way.

OK, so when I bought my laptop it came with Windows XP installed, no disc. However this version of windows broke...something about a file missing...anyway luckily the laptop has an in-built system recovery...however I couldn't get onto the desktop to activate it...so I installed a less than reputable version of Windows XP onto my laptop(deleting everything on the C: drivet) so that I would be able to run the recovery system...which is stored on a seperate drive called RECOVERY.

However the usual link, found in System Tools is no longer there...but the drive is...how do I boot from that drive?

I have a Dell Inspiron 9300. My computer is no longer reading my hard drive, nor the operating system. It won't boot in safe mode, or any other mode for that matter and system recovery isn't working either. I'm not concerned with saving the computer itself, however, I do have photos on it that cannot be replaced. Is there any way to save my files??? Thanks for any help!!!

Read some review,

Intel's site has info on the 945 chipset and it says 4GB is possible, but howcome dell only limited to 2gb? Have anyone have solution or have tried this before? Or running their 6400 with 4GB? Thanks.

I installed windows vista on my laptop and I love it!

Previously, when I had windows xp I would login by having my thumb print read by a built-in scanner. I have noticed that this feature is not available on vista as it was on xp, is there some sort of addon I can get in order to enable it on vista?

Rather than reinstalling xp just for the sake of the fingerprint scanner, what are my other options?

The other day my sister mailed down her laptop a DELL XPS M140, she told me it wasnt working , so i got online and talked to the DELL people and they told me that they would have to verify and all that other junk, so im sitting there on the computer sense 1 PM and its 5: 30 PM, and when they came to there senses they told me that they are going to send me a box to ship the laptop in, and if it needed to be fixed , it wouldnt cost us a thiong , today we got the box, but before we packaged it we bought a 104 Dollar charger to see if that was a problem. It still wouldnt charge. So it has to be a internal problem. It could either be the Motherboard , or Power Supply, or a internal connection problem, etc. So we just got the box in today and i already packaged it and have it ready to go, but my mom doesnt want me to send it because we still owe money on it because its new and only 2 years old. The warranty is still going until April of next year, but my mom wont listen to me........
