I start defrag utility, then about 3/4 of the way it stops and says there's something wrong that scandisk can fix, I run scandisk and defrag but get the same thing again.

Please don't say 'run scandisk in thorough mode' because that's not an option in XP

Also my Human Interface Device is disabled in Device Manager. How do I enable it so my webcam will work?

I'm creating a spreadsheet template that performs various calculations, but I only need input in particular cells, and the rest is calculated with various other formulas and cell references. the template i have created is used by many people, and in the intial stages, people accidently alter the conditional statments and therefor really mess up the whole sheet. I want to be able to 'lock' these particular cells with the conditional formulas and cell references, but not 'lock' the whole worksheet. any help or reference appreciated :)

it's so annoying removing them, and it's taking up my space. I have no idea why it's doing that. I'm very careful about my files and i know i don't have 2 copies until after i load it into itunes. i'm running the latest version i think, but i'm using it on XP not a mac. that shouldn't make a difference though. I have it configured NOT to copy files to my itunes library, but I do have it keep my itunes folder organized. and I manually manage files on my ipod, i don't sync, but i don't think that has anything to do with it.\

Any thoughts or suggestions? any idea is welcome. even if your idea is just to smash my computer because i may end up doing that soon. Not because of this problem, i just hate my laptop with a passion.

Should I buy MS Office 2007 Home Edition? It's really cool, and it would replace my free open-source word processor and spreadsheet, but it's $140 at amazon.com. Coolness vs Cost. What's your opinion?

Here are the system requirements for Windows XP and Windows Vista side by side:
Processor: 233 MHz minimum (300 MHz recomd) for XP, 800 MHz 32-bit or 64-bit minimum (1GHz recomd) for Vista.
RAM: 64 MB minimum (128 MB recomd) for XP, 512 MB minimum (1 GB recomd) for Vista.
HDD sp : 1.5 GB for XP, 15 GB (20 recomd) for Vista.
Video card: SVGA (800*1024) for XP, the Aero interface of Vista requires a very modern and expencive graphics adaptor (128 MB min)

My questions are:
1. Do you find making the processor requirements 3.5 times higher, RAM requirements 8 times and HDD requirements 10 times higher a bit unreasonable, and too steep to cope with?
2. Will you upgrade very soon or wait for a Service Pack or two?
3. Does YOUR PC meet the requirements?
4. If your PC meets the system requirements is it a recent one?
5. If it does not are you planning to upgrade/buy a new one?
6. Any other comments on Vista's VERY HIGH (my personal oppinion) system reqs...

I want to change my opening sound when Windows starts, to a theme tune I have. To do this it needs to be a wav. file. I know I DID have the recorder, as my closing sound is my girlfriends giggle. I have done a search and cannot find it. Normally, its is Programs>Access>Entertainment. Is there anywhere I can download it, without having to pay? Sorry about the long winded-ness. Mark

I bought my computer from a highschool auction last year. My system is not running correctly, and I want to reinstall it to try to correct the problem, but I did not receive the CD. Also I am logged in as the administrator and it is telling me that I have limited access to different things, like the Windows Update sight. How do I log in as the administrator when I already am. This is really the main thing that is bothering me. I am the administrator and it tells me to contact the adminstrator. I thought computers were smart.

I have run spybot and adaware as well as a program to check my registry, but it is really slow going from one screen to the next. i.e. just going from home page to the yahoo answers, etc. Is there something I am overlooking. I have checked the task manager and nothing is running.
