Other - Computers - April 2007

The keyboard on my mothers laptop for her work has all the letters on it, however on 'I' for example, there is a little white square in the bottom right corner with the number '4' in it. On 'O', there is a little '5' on it. Now, whenever I type I or O 4 or 5 is typed instead! On the zero key, there is the little star (*) on the bottom right corner of the key. Whenever 0 is typed, the star appears instead. What is happening? What do I do?!

I have an old computer still running on Windows 98SE, i have this problem , which I have had before, When I try to open Web pages they will not open and the computer says check you Content Advisor setting. When I do they are set to Zero so I can't open web pages. I reset them to Maximum so as to look at any web pages, and then when I try and go on the Web the Content Advisor keeps reseting to Zero. I took this to a computer repair store befor and I think they had to reload the Windows program, which I have at home, Please help anyone as this is driving me "MAD".

It freezes after a period of time. After the said freeze, the monitor won't work (meaning a black screen and a dimmed power light (the one that indicates whether the monitor is on or off)) The monitor "clicks" on, and nothing appears. What could be the problem?

I've been trying to fix my sister's computer all afternoon (over the phone), and I am having absolutely no luck helping her. All of her program associations are .lnk, System Restore won't work, neither will regedit and the pc won't boot from cd either, so I can't even walk her thru a re install. I have asked a friend of mine who deals more in hardware than I do, and he said to tell her to get a new hard drive. And no, I can't actually go to her place because she lives 1200 miles away, and she doesn't have any money to spend on a housecall tech.

Any other ideas before I go buy her a new drive?

Well ok, this morning my computer was working fine. I turned it off and then when i go back on like a few hours later, nothing seems to be working besides internet explorer. Whenever I click the things that I installed, it says "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, o ryou can manually select from a list of programs on your computer." PLEASE HELP WHAT IS WRONG?!??!?!?

Computer users store irreplaceable files like financial documents, family photos and digital music on their systems. However, 46% of U.S. adults never backup their personal information. If a hard drive crash or natural disaster results in data loss, these files can never be recovered. What prevents computer users from backing up their data when it can save them a great deal of trouble in the future?

At first when I turn it on, internet programs takes like a full minute to show on the screen. Then, I have to wait to open up the instant messenger program. When someone messages me, I click on the icon to open up the message but it takes up some time. Whenever I open or close a window. I have to be patient to view it. So do you think my pc has a virus? What would be the best solution in order to improve my pc speed?

What do I do [to make the messages stop coming, and I can be able to enjoy my computer, again]??? Somebody PLEASE help!!! THANKS!!! I really appreciate any help!!!
