i think the pinguins are using the ducks as a way to attack the world when we least expect it (or to spy on us :ohnoes: )

another good site is www.htmldog.com it has good tutorails and large refrence section. also www.google.com can be your friend in situations like that

try reinstalling your audio drivers: 1. right-click my computer -> properties 2. click the hardware tab 3. click the device manager button 4. look for anything with a yellow circle with an exclamation mark, a red X or a yellow question mark 5. to update or reinstall a driver double click the device and select the drivers tab, then select update or install yellow circle --> problem with device --> reinstall drivers or update drivers red X -> device disabled --> simply right-click it and select enable yellow question mark --> unknown device --> install the drivers from the device's disk (or if your using a dell , hp,etc use there recovery disk) im guessing your audio card is just disabled tho.

Wow those are nice.... *looks at price* HOLY @#%&!!

Yes i know that i just want to know which companies have the least amount of trial software, so that i can clean it out as fast as possible

I'm looking for a laptop before i go back to college, but i don't want to spend a weekend cleaning it from all that stupid trail software. What companies sell laptops WITHOUT the trial junk (or at least as little as possible)? Also, should I just go with a mac or go with Windows? The only thing that scares me from macs is the price ($1,200 + for laptops :ohnoes: )

CPU Dual cores have,well, two cores. This allows them to act as two separate preprocessors (for multi-threaded programs) or act as one processor (for more basic programs). If a Dual-core is listed at 1.8Ghz, which is the clock speed, it will be just as fast as any other 1.8Ghz processor, only it can do two things at once! POWER SUPPLY As for your power supply, it will be picked by how much watts you need. Note these are estimations only, if doubt use the higher end of the range (Low end CPU < 1Ghz, high end CPU > 2.5 Ghz and/or dual core) Motherboard 15-30 Low-end CPU 20-50 Midrange to high-end CPU 40-100 RAM RAM 7 per 128MB PCI add-in card 5 Low to midrange graphics board 20-60 High-End graphics board 60-100 IDE hard drive 10-30 Optical drives 10-25 LINUX for all your Linux needs www.linux.org MONITOR CRTs are nitrous for poor image quality, burn-in, and can be damaged by magnets. However, they are cheep and in your case free. a graphics card may help but don't expect super clear high-def from it.

Another source of noise (aside from CPU fans, GPU Fans and any other fans you care to mention) are the Hard Drive and CD/DVD ROM. When you play your game (i dont know what game it is, you didn't mention it...) you use the CD/DVD Drive, which usualy makes a bit of a whine. When your computer uses up all of its RAM (when your CPU is 70% or higher this is likely) is uses part of the hard drive as 'extra RAM'. Both of these scenarios, make a fair bit of noise and are completely normal, however; if the noise changes from a low whine to a loud grinding noise (epically on the Hard Drive) it may be due to a partial or full failure of the device. (in sort grinding noise = bring to repair, whine = normal) to help reduce noise from these components: 1. Make sure the drives are securely fastened to the drives' brackets (vibration from the drives operation sometimes loosens the screws) 2. Do a nice job vacuuming the insides for dust and other junk, use compressed air (about $20 for 3 at a local computer shop) 3. add sound damping material between the drives and there brackets, don't go overboard as overheating may occur 4. if the whine is still as loud as when you began, then contact gateways customer support

I completely agree with all but one point of this article: "...then 80% of RuneScape's players are under 18. It would safe to assume that many of the players have never had a job because they are under the legal working age..." There are jobs out there for under-18-year olds(paper routs, fast food, stock person, etc) and most high schoolers (even a few grade schoolers) i knew had or have part time jobs. Anyway, to all the people who say "it's just pixels", can you give me your whip or dragon armor? After all it's just pixels. :)

Please read my first post again. When I say yes to activate it, the screen pops up and it says this version is already activated. please read my post and see that it says to use the "Activate by phone" option

Have you added any new hardware recently? if so you may have caused problems there is the fan on your power supply turning? Sometimes they (partly) fail and cause hardware and software problems is the power cable damaged? movement of a damaged cable may cause the system to go dead is the outlet the system plugged into having problems? to test try using other devices in it do you have a pesky two-year old brother/sister? if so keep them away from the shinny power button :D

when you activate windows chose the activate by telephone option. dial the number and an automated system will ask for a long number displayed on your screen after that the system will give you a activation number to enter on the same screen this will only work if it a legit version of windows of course -.-
