enigma?


Posted Monday September 29 2008, 4:33 am

i was reading this book once and it was talking about enigmas and as it went on (since it was not a very descriptive book) i came to the conclusion that enigmas were quizzes or riddles or puzzles or something like that
and some of the enigmas that the book had in it were awesome
so does anyone know a heap of websites or just one with enigmas in them
thanks

task bar disappearing?


Posted Friday September 26 2008, 11:23 pm

i have a dell latitude that's fairly new, with windows vista OS.

when it comes out of sleep mode or hibernation or whatever vista calls it (when the screen is black and the power light is blinking on and off), the task bar is usually gone. it is not resized, and the start menu button is still there. it just shows the desktop picture where the task bar should be. anyone know how i can fix this? i've already run some system scans and it says things are fine, so i don't think it's a virus or anything.

Hi, i'm looking for a good laptop to take to school. Basically what I want is something that can handle my photography really well, and also regular school stuff, documents, etc. Simple, but fast and durable. I would also like a large screen. Anything under 2K is good.

Compaq Presario C300 Laptop making a horrible weird noise (Cooling fan?)


Posted Wednesday September 17 2008, 3:46 pm

my laptop is about three years old.

it's a windows thing, designed for windows XP which it is currently running....

Presario C300

Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 420 @ 1.60GHz

x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8

and that's all the technical information i can possibly figure out. i'm horribly inept with technology.

i am on my laptop a lot, maybe even 6 hours a day (not in succession). the point is it's used a lot.

ANYWAY.

the fan is on the bottom. and it makes this horrible noise like 24/7, it totally didn't use to. it used to be silent. it sounds like someone gargling battery acid. nothing is abstructing the vents. it also overhea...

Hotmail Ads Slowing My Computer Down


Posted Tuesday September 16 2008, 1:02 pm

I use Windows Live Hotmail and it takes me forever just to read my messages because of the ads at the top of each page. Of course, everytime I go to a page (my inbox, etc.) the ad at the top has to load, it takes probaby a full minute or longer just to load it. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

By the way, I do not have any spyware, viruses, etc. on my computer, I've checked a good number of times.
