Using laptop as full time "desktop"? by
[email protected]
My computer usage is such that I really do not NEED a
laptop.
I don't travel for work..... and even tho I'm a student
find that dragging a full size laptop to school to be a
burden and unnecessary as campus has many desktops
setting around to use anyway.
Having said that... I can still see value...

IE 6.0--upgrade time by
MZB
Question for you folks. I've been sticking with IE 6.0 as that has worked
very well. I also use Firefox as a backup (yes, I know many prefer Firefox).
I am debating whether to upgrade to IE 8.0. First question: is it ready for
prime time?
The reason I am considering upgrading is that lately...

Zone Alarm slowed download speed by

and I now...

Vista Problem by
Von Fourche
My sister and brother-in-law has a computer with Vista Home Premium.
Here's the problem - you know how you can put desk top short cuts
on your desk top? Last week Vista would not let them do this. They
rebooted,
called Indian support, tried again over and over, but no luck - they still...

OT--digital camera selection? by
MZB
I currently have a Canon Powershot A75, purchased about 3 years ago. It has
3.2 megapixels. At the time, we thought it would be enough as we RARELY do
large photos.
However, we now use Picassa software and do a lot of cropping. But it turns
out that is just like enlarging pictures so if we crop...

Help with diagnosis by
No Name
A few days ago my XPS 600 XP-Pro machine
started becoming unresponsive.
It would freeze for 30 sec to 10 min, with
no mouse movement or window updating. Then
a quick update.
I had the task manager going, and the only apparent
culprit was the "System" process which was running
at a stated 20-25%...

any preliminary info on this.
Any idea if Vista will run on a dell 2.3 ghz P4 w/ 768 megs ram
decently? I know it's not going to be any speed demon but just...

Firefox Wow! by
Pat Conover[_2_]
I finally got sick enough of IE8 to try Firefox and all I can say is WOW!
It's like driving a Ferrari compared to a Kia. You folks always recommended
it, but I never knew it was that much faster. I use IE8 because a lot of my
business sites only use it and I thought I was pretty much stuck...

Cleaning inside of computer by
Monica
Don't laugh or groan too loud g 5 year old Dell is going to my daughter.
I'd like to take the box outside and use an air compressor to blow out 5
years of cat hair, etc (yes I did clean it during those 5 years). . Is
that too much air force? The canned air just doesn't get it all.

Blowing Away the Recovery Partition...Advice? by
Daddy[_3_]
I recently received a new Studio XPS 8100. I opted to keep the C: drive
pretty much as-is, and uninstalled most of the smell-ware that Dell adds.
I'd really like to delete the extra two partitions that contain Dell's
diagnostics and the factory image. My first inclination was to simply
use the...

Key Bored
Hi All:
I'm considering buying the Dell Dimension 8400 desktop system. I've checked
Dell's website, customized the system in various ways (including purchasing
the monitor separately), and arrived at a total price that reflected all of

Installed it on the laptop, then bought a desktop and decided I would rather

New Computer/Clean up by
Monica
Got my new Dimension 8400 on Thursday. Love it, but hate all the junk Dell
installs. I've got two options. Uninstall what I don't want and use a
registry cleaner to clean up the leftovers. Safer but probably not as
efficient. Or reformat and reinstall XP from one of two sources. My
previous...
