Do they make a different restore disc for every single variety of models? We have an old E-3200 and this Gateway restore disc on ebay doesn't have a model # as far as I can see. And the other link is to a website that seemingly lists every model number but this one. Could you click the ebay link and tell me if it will restore my system? Thanks.

I am trying to get to the bottom of where the space went on my laptop hard drive...I know that about 10 GB is used for formatting, but its little things that are upsetting me.

I have a program which graphs the amount of space that a folder takes up and can pinpoint files/etc that take up space. My Music on my computer (when I right click on the folder) takes up 6.92GB. However, the program says that the folder is taking up 8.4GB. The same goes for My Pictures. I right click and it says 1.80GB yet the program says 2.5.

What is taking up this space, and how can I get it back?

Microsoft has all the potential in the world to be a great company. I wish they would be a little more like Apple and make some better products. You know like an Iphone that is less expensive and better (not cingular exclusive)
I love microsoft and now even apple too.
just wondering what you people think

I had a bad virus a few months ago...it screwed up my computer so bad that I had to reinstall windows completely. To get it all updated and installed took at least 2 weeks. Ever since then, it just hasn't been right. It seems to me that something messed up in the registry. Some times it takes a long time to boot up, normally it doesn't but occasionally it does. Sometimes it deletes my documents like text files and word files and this has caused a lot of *frustration* for me since they were documents for school that I had not turned in yet. I have a Creative Zen and a Canon Powershot, and I have to repeatedly reattach them to get it to recognize them. Every time it doesn't recognize it it says that some usb server has malfuntioned and needs to close. Both the MP3 player and the camera work fine with my father's computer. I was wondering if I could install windows again, only on an external hard drive and use that to boot and I wouldn't have to update everything again. Could this work?

from left to right it reads "start" (any programs I have running) and then the time and date.
Well it is USUALLY at the bottom. Don't ask me how but it somehow got itself to the top of the screen. Does anyone know how to change it back?

My wife has just bought a Mac and is having a great time using it. However, downloading seems to work differently to PCs e.g. she downloaded RealPlayer, used it to listen to BBC radio shows and the next day it stopped working.

We solved that problem, but for future reference what do you do to ensure a problem free download?

She has a MacBook Pro running OS X

Ok we have all seen the ads from apple as to why a mac is better. But my question is this which is better for a business user? I know the macs do offer more fun stuff to do for home users but I honestly can not see the productivity use in a business sense. Are any of you business owners that use a mac and how well does it function in your business?
