Q: ive only had my laptop for about 5 months
i used limewire, and i think i downloaded a virus
my computer is going reallly slow
and whenever i try to lisen to music
it messes up and it's really bugging me
i deleted allll my music
but it's still going slow,
and i still cant listen to my music.

what can i do??
-thanks :]
Errr my laptop did the same thing & I just got it in september. Idk what you have but I have a delll and it reacts weird to certain programs. I cant download morpheus, napster, bearflix or bearshare. It all messed up my computer and took it to some weird blue screen. (idk if thats what yours is doing) But with limewire what you can do is download a virus/spyware protection program and in morpheus you can set it to scan each file as they're coming through (its under options in limewire). Make sure you have your virus scanner up and running while you're downloading music though. So it'll work. Limewire is spyware and virus free and its usually good about catching viruses before they come through by saying 'corrupted file'. Try what I said and see how that goes, it should work. As for your virus that you think you have, If your computer is running slow. Go into my computer, right click on C drive and hit properties and do a disk cleanup. Then go into your c drive, click the windows folder, go into prefetch and clear that. Also. Go into your internet explorer and hit tools, then internet options, and delete all your cookies/temporary internet files/history. That should speed it up =D

Q: How do you make brushes on Adobe photoshop 7.0? & when you download brushes and you try to get them on there and when you hit open and it opens as a picture and doesn't turn in to a brush how do i get it to turn into a brush? Thanks in advance
Okay. Basically this is what you do. When downloading brushes into photoshop, you have to have winzip because the brushes come in a zip folder. Once you have winzip, you right click on the zip folder containing the brush and you hit extract with winzip. Then something will open asking you where you would like to extract it to. You go through your C drive and hit program files, then adobe, go in and go to your brushes folder and hit that. Extract it to that. Do this with all of your brushes. Then when you're done, open adobe & hit paint brush, then there will be a little option to change your brushes. Hit that, and all your brushes should appear.

Q: why do people put x's in there screennames does it mean something? i used to do it but i dont know why.. im just asking because theyres like TOO many x's insome girls sn like hxxcLOVER
LOVEXXXXXXME55 BUT WHY?!
I used to put x's in my screen name because the original sn I wanted was already taken. The "X" could mean something, but generally it doesnt. For example, I wanted the screen name "Vanity Kills" That sn was already taken so in order for me to have it I put Vanity Kills xx & It worked. So basically, its just to allow them to make the sn. lol =]

Q: how do you tell if a louie vuittan purse is real?
It has genuine cowhide leather, the stitching is perfect, everything is lined up correctly, and the main part is that every zipper is brass. If you buy a purse and the gold chips off to whats underneath, its fake. It will be real brass and it shouldnt chip off and it will be very hard and not bendable. There will also be a cetificate of authenticity saying Made In Paris. Also, its spelled Louis Vuitton, lol.

Q: Okay on myspace i know you can dowload music from bands myspace .... so if i open thm instead of saving them on ym computer is it still teh same thing.. and can i still put them on my ipod!!?!?!
If you open it, it wont save to your desktop. When you go to download the song, hit save and then hit desktop and save it to your desktop. Then it'll be on your desktop, and you can import it to your itunes library so you can put it on your ipod =]

Q: Okay now I have my webhosting company up but I am having some trouble with billing customers. I have tried using modern bill which sucked. So any recommendations on a billing system that accepts credit cards and stuff.
Paypal! Its used with ebay. You have to pay a fee i believe to use it on your wesite, but basically people enter their credit card numbers and the ammount that they owe and it will deposit it into your bank/credit card account. and give you the transaction/receipt go to www.paypal.com for details.

Q: msn messenger won't let me sign in. it always says that it can't sign me in rite now and to try later. when it does the test things to see if theres a problem there doesn't seem to be any problems. i need to go on msn right now but its not signing me in. i use rogers highspeed and i tried disconnecting the modem many times and i re-installed msn again but it still doesn't let me sign in. the error code is 80048820 if that helps. PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU
I've told someone previously. MSN always does maintenance and the server for MSN is frequently unavailable causing alot of problems with users. The best thing that i can tell you to do, is to follow the error code to diagnose the problem, and make sure you go through the steps correctly. It's not your internet connection, its something with MSN. If msn doesnt diagnose the problem, file a error report through msn.com and tell their technical support group what your problem is and they'll try and fix it.

Wait it out if that still doesnt work.
It usually fixes itself.

Q: i dont have texting nor the internet on my cell phone ..but i still want to download songs to my phone but without texting.. how can i do this? like are there and programs that will let me do this but wont mess up my phone?
I dont think you're able to do this. I dont have internet on my phone but I have a program called "get it now" & through that, I use air time (which is minutes) and browse through programs in which i can download ringtones. of course it costs money, but its put directly on the bill. I download the ring tones, and it puts it into my sounds folder. (not sure if you have one of those) The best way to find out what you're able to do with ringtones or sound files or whatever it is that you want to do is call your cell phone provider(verizon, alltell, cingular, whichever one u have) and ask them how to download ringtones and the process in which they work. Also if you dont want to pay for ringtones, you can go to verizonwireless.com and then go to ringtones /get it now / vzw tones and preview the ringtones, then once you find one that you want, go to your sound recorder on your phone, and record the ringtone & then set it for "use as my ringtone" =D

Q: what is the "c" word?
i was taking this "how evil are you" test and one of the questions was "have you ever called someone the 'c' word"
what does it mean?
thanks in advance
~m&m
I'm pretty sure the "C" word is Cunt.
Its generally a very offensive word towards females. By definition it means the vaginal area.
I dont use it, but ehh, some people do I suppose

Q: I really want snakebites (the piercings), but I am a HUGE wimp. Do they hurt, and if so, how much?
I have mine done. I did them myself though. Both sides. I personally didnt think that it hurt, and I went slow. So I'd imagine if I had gotten it done professionally it wouldnt have hurt at all. I got my tongue done professionally and they do it so fast you usually dont even feel anything. It depends on your pain tolerance though. Some people say it feels like a pinch and some people hype themselves up so much it feels worse than it really is. Youd have to experiance it to know. As for the price? It depends on the place really. My tongue was 25 & thats one of the highest
Look around on websites in your area of tattoo shops, they should be able to give you a general idea.
I'd estimate maybe 15-20 though, per piercing.=]

Q: ok....so I am gonna make it short. I have a girl that I know likes me and lets call her K. and then, heres the problem I know another girl that likes me and lets call her B. so what should I do..I also like both of them...advicenators...Help ME
Well. I'm assuming that you're fairly young, or else you wouldnt be asking this question. So based on that assumption, things arent super serious yet. I say stay single and hang out with both of them, and see which one that you have stronger feelings for. See who you're most compatible with. It's not like you're going to marry them so just have fun with it. If you really want to date one of them though, then dont worry about hurting anyones feelings and go with the one that you're most comfortable with and that you could see establishing a relationship with. =]

Q: i am a freshman and I'm bi, but none of my friends know it. I have a crush on this junior who is a lesbian but i don't know what to do. do u think i have a chance with a girl that's 2 years older than me, and what should i do to make her notice me?
It's really hard to say. It all depends on if they like older or younger girls. I'd say just start up a conversation with her one day, or try to find out some clubs/activities that shes interested in that you might be too, and find some familiar territory so that you have something to strike up a conversation about. Or, if you want to be blunt about it, just let her know that you are interested in her and would like to get to know her better.
I know what its like going through the whole "bi" thing. I came out to my friends in 6th grade and they freaked, so I waited till 10th grade (2 years ago) & they were okay with it. Its weird getting used to the whole dating girls thing though, heh. But let me know how it goes :)


EDIT*

Ehh.. It all depends on who she is as a person and if she's accepting about it. When I came out in 6th grade my friends were immature and didnt know much about being bisexual so they thought I was weird. but in 10th everyone was completely okay with it cause they knew that i didnt have crushes on all of my friends, or any for that matter.
Try and secretively find out how she feels about bi's/lesbians, and if shes comfortable around people like that then it would be probably okay to just straight up tell her.. if shes a little leery about them.. then maybe youll have to explain to her in a more emotional fashion that you're bi

Q: Three questions about *69:
1. Does it work on cell phones?
2. Do you have to have answered the call for it to work?
3. How much does it cost (I live in CA if that helps)?
1. Yes it works on cell phones.
2. No you dont have to answer the call, but if its a private number it wont work. It usually is for people who dont have caller ID and missed a phone call and wanted to know who it was.
3. It costs 75 cents, I believe.

Q: How can you get someone's attention on AIM without IMing them? Like put something in my pro/away msg? What could I put? Thank you!
Well it depends on what you're trying to get their attention for. If you want someone to know you like them then maybe write a cute love quote/song lyrics in your profile/away message
the hide their name with stars like if their name was John put **** Or Sally *****. Etc.

Put something in there that would make it somewhat obvious, but not too obvious.

Q: does anyone know how much it would be to buy one tree hill seasons 1-3? thanks!
Go to Amazon.com and search for "One Tree Hill Season 1 DVD". That should bring up season 2 & 3 also and give you prices.
Or you can check out IMBD.com

Q: Ok so here's the deal, I love my girlfriend to death, and i am willig to do everything for her, and just become so sweet when im around her. Everyone says im whipped, even her, so i want to become more asertive, that way i dont look so whipped. ya know? cause im kinda worried it's annoying her
Honestly, I dont think there's anything wrong with looking 'whipped'. If she has a problem with it, than thats something she needs to deal with. She is apparently insecure about something and can't take when you agree with her on everything or do everything for her. I'm not going to say go ahead and start an arguement with her, but maybe playfully put up a fight, just joking around and see how she reacts to that instead of just saying 'ok ill do it' or something along those lines. If you're a naturally giving/nice person, then you cant really change yourself to fit her needs/wants. I say just talk to her about it and see why she thinks that you're whipped and what she would like to change to make things better for her. Compromise is key, but no so much so that you sacrafice who you are.

Q: Isn't annoying when people type in run-on sentences and don't punctuate? It makes the question/statement difficult to understand and read. I can understand when people sometimes misspell words; but I hate when people don't even attempt at making themselves seem somewhat intelligent. It is bothersome when people type a response or question like its a text message. No, I'm not an English teacher if you're wondering. I am a sixteen year old female that is in high school.
Agreed. I personally love when people write formal letters through the usmail & they use short text (u, r, iam) iam really makes me mad. Its either I or I'm, or I am. Not iam
Gosh.
People have brutally murdered the english language.

Q: For baseball, if there's a runner on first base and the batter strikes out on a wild pitch that hits the ground, can he run for first if the runner is stealing second?


Thanks.
The batter can ONLY run if he's hit with a pitch(a walk), gets 4 balls & walks, or hits a ball and its not caught on a fly. The runner at first can steal a base no matter what, usually.

If the ball is caught on a fly though, the runner would have to go back to his base or he could be thrown out.

But as for the batter, if he struck out, thats it. No more pitches/swings & no running =]
