Laptop Problems


Posted Friday February 8 2008, 8:16 pm

I bought a Compaq Presario a little over a year ago. It was working great until a little while ago..Now, sometimes when I turn it on, it doesn't boot. The machine runs but the screen just stays black.

I've been told that it'd work if I took the battery out, but the problem persists sometimes even when I turn it on with the battery taken out.

My warranty expired already, as well as the over-the-phone tech support. So is anyone out there that can tell me what the problem is?

trouble with viruses and trojans and command prompt?


Posted Friday February 8 2008, 12:06 pm

A few days ago I started to have a lot of trouble with my computer. Command prompt is opening by itself, usually two windows at a time, and then an error pops up and closes them. Why is command prompt opening? Is it dangerous?

Another thing, I always use firefox [latest edition] and never ever use IE [for many reasons]. Now though, I'm getting pop ups that open in IE, stuff like 'crush calculator' or that pop up that says to run a system scan. Yeah, I exit out of them.
I ran AVG free edition and it detected some threats labeled 'virus lop', so I moved them to quarantine, but now when I start up windows I get an error "rundll" or something like that, is this something I need to be concerned about?

limewire bad or ok?


Posted Sunday February 3 2008, 6:47 pm

I have itunes and i'm sick of having to spend 15$ every time i want some more songs because i need a new gift card.

now lots of my friends use limewire and love it. I know the quality of the music is cheap, but you can get like whatever songs you want. I was just wondering how badly illegal is it, and have anyone ever got caught??

plus what is the chance i will get a virus using it, and yah.

thanks! :]

Login Screen


Posted Sunday February 3 2008, 5:18 pm

When I turn my computer on it goes directly into my account.. instead of the login screen. My mother has an account and guest account is on. Mom is limited.

Anyway, how do I make it open up to the login screen as opposed to my account?

My computer mouse isn't working and I have no idea how to get it. Yes; it's plugged in, I'm not an idiot. It took me about 20 minutes just to figure out how to get the internet open and it takes forever using the keyboard to get everything to work. I've only ever had this problem once before and we realized the mouse wasn't even plugged in which is why I knew to look this time.

My dad says we'll probably have to get a new computer but because this is MY computer I'd have to pay for the new one. I'm the youngest and everyone else has laptops. I graduate in June and we were going to wait until then and my parents were going to get me a laptop for when I go to college but since they can't afford to buy one for me now I'd have to...
