I just ordered a gaming mouse that should be pretty good. I don't know much about mice, but
maybe you can tell me how good it is compared to the price?

My aunt gave me her old laptop, and I want to reinstall Windows on it. For sarters, the DVD-ROM
drive is not first in the boot order. So I need to open the BIOS Setup program to change it. I tried
pressing about half a dozen key combos, and couldn't get it to run. I called Dell, and they gave
me some garbage, saying that I would have to pay to get help. So I come here, to ask you, how does
one open the BIOS Setup program on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop?...

Most old laptops has this feature by hitting FN+Something Else but new laptops don't have that
feature. After searching google I found this program that will do exactly that. Just download it at
http://www.redmondpie.com/downloadscenter/TurnOffLCDv101.zip and run the excute the file and to
turn your screen just move your mouse....

I have a personal laptop for my own use, which I left at home for about 6 hours. The problem was
that I forgot to put on the adapter, so that the battery won't run out. And there I was, when I
came back home, the laptop's battery was out. I immediately connected the charger but the
"Charging Light" was not going on. I tried to turn on the laptop after a while, but it was not
working. I am not sure why my laptop is not recharging. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Well, my mom is buying me a graduation laptop and my budget is about $2500. This is the laptop
I've found to be the biggest bang for the buck, but as I'm not great at this stuff I figured
I'd ask for help. The speed and memory of the laptop is pretty much set at the speed it's
at (2.5GB L2 6MB, 4 GB RAM, 640GB HDD). Also I don't want to lose bluetooth either. So, if you
have any comments or suggestions, please let me know, if you find better offers for the same machine
I'd be happy to know about them as well. Thank you for your time!...

I know that generally you cannot upgrade a laptops graphics card! I am thinking of getting THIS
laptop and it has a good graphics card which according to Nvidia's wesite will be direct x10
compsatible but in the future I may want a new graphics card without a new laptop, is it possible
with this laptop because it has dedicated memory in the graphics card so i am not entirely sure as
for ram and hard drive i believe it can have double the ram and double the hd space I am no expert
of laptops so thats why i am asking the specs aren't hugely instructive b...

I bought this MacBook Pro over 15 months ago and it came with a 160GB (149.1 GB in real terms)
Hitachi Hard drive that spins at 5400 RPM and is a bit noisy for whatever reason. Yesterday, UPS
delivered to me two WD 320 GB (298 GB in real terms) 5400 RPM drives. The second one is for a friend
who's going to pay me to install it in his Macbook Pro for him. I paid $190 each for the WD
Passports off of newegg.com which, oddly, is less than the hard drive without the Passport
enclosure. First challenge was getting the enclosures open without breaking them. There are...

I have spent quite a while looking for a laptop on the net, i'm thinking of spending around
£1000. It's a difficult decision to make as i have had no opportunuty to test any of the ones

fairly portable I.E 15.4" TFT not 17" and would like somthing that i could use for a few games

I am a little hesitant... on one hand I am thinking of buying a new laptop, whereas another option
would be to just upgrade it using a little more memory. My laptop has a Mobile AMD Athlon™ XP
2600+ processor with 512 MB of RAM. On one hand the computer works fine, but I would like it to have
a little more power. Sometimes for example I would like to play a nice game on it and this can be
problematic. So... I could buy a new one, which will cost me a lot of money, but I can also buy
some extra RAM, which would be relatively cheap. On the other hand, I am probably ...

hi, I have a client whose Sony® VAIO© VGN A240 TM laptop has a problem. Ok the problem is this way.
Whenever you boot the laptop and as soon as it boots up to the desktop, it automatically start
pasting program icons on the desktop. It pastes these icons at so much speed that it can paste up to
1000/min. It infuriates me whenever this laptop starts this thing. I have tried to boot it from
save mode (it uses Win XP Pro w/SP2) and tried to see if I can stop the problem from there but I was
not able to stop it. I was later to find out that it was the keyboard that is act...

Hey i'm getting a new laptop and i was wondering which one i should get. I hope this is the
right place since this is the advice forum i thought this is the right place to put it. I have any
$$$ amount for one, but nothing like 10,000 dollars. I'll spend a little more for
something that is good and will last. I have never had a laptop. I have just always had desktops.
Any advice would be great....

My Dad's company has some old laptops that they are giving the salesmen. These things are pretty
old. I think they have 64mb ram and 300-400mhz processors with 5gb hardrives. Because of the low
ram, they loaded Windows 98 on them. I suggested Windows 2000 Pro, but whatever. Two of them are
having problems though. They don't want to spend money for new ones, and certain software is
registered to those machines. Plus, they want them all to have the same laptop for troubleshooting.
