How do I go wireless with my laptop computer?

Ok, right now I have a laptop computer connected to the Internet via DSL. As of right now I don’t have any infrared anything on my computer. What are all the steps involved in going wireless….What do I need to do to my computer (an old Compaq Presario 1200) and with my ISP?

you need a wireless router and a wireless notebook card to get started.

if you would like to shop online for those, tigerdirect is pretty good on prices.

wireless router $ 50.00 … radio shack has usb wireless recievers 39.99 hundred bucks your wireless

How can I remove person information from a laptop computer?

I have a laptop computer that I bought 3 years ago. I just a brand new laptop and don’t use the old one anymore. I would like to sell the old computer. How would I remove any personal information from the hard drive? I had the old one just restored just a few months ago. I still have personal pictures on the computer. Thanks for any help with the question.

format the entire drive and give it…

laptop battery.Could anyone tell me what is the best brand laptop i can buy. I have a Toshiba so do you think i should stick with that..

depends on what ur gonna use the laptop for…if its gamming go for a dell xps…if its personal use go for a dell inspiron ***im saying dell since they have the best customer service and thats important when ur looking long term***

if it still works good for you why not stick with it. :) there are a lot of good brands out there like dell, asus, lenovo, sony, mac, toshiba, etc.. it all depends on your preference and budget. right now i have a lenovo thinkpad and it works wonders and i love it. i had a dell inspiron before and gave it to my sister and still works fine but i never been happier with lenovo..

Best brand of laptop? That is really a personal decision. I have a HP, Compaq, Dell, and a Toshiba. If I had it to do all over again, I would only own Toshiba. I have had far less issues with it then the others. If you want the plus and minus of each brand, then:

HP – You are paying for the name but they have some of the most up to date hardware.

Compaq – HP now owns Compaq and uses it as a test bed for the newer hardware. Sometimes it works well and other times there are issues like heating and shorter than normal life expectancies.

Dell – Often they use older technology. However, they do have one of the better support pages for drivers and such.

Gateway – Ran into money problems several years ago. They are not staying with state of the art currently. BUT… they have a great support page just never attempt to do call support.

Toshiba – Not always the newest technology but has one of the best screens on the market. Not always the fastest but will run for years with little or no issues. Not the best support page but OK for most users.

So… my advice? Stick with what you have unless you are having issues or it no longer does everything you NEED it to do.

Good luck,
Z

Toshiba is one of the best companies where you can buy a good laptop computer! But if you want to change, you can visit and see price of laptops on web! it maybe help you more!

How do you use and connect a laptop computer?

I have a desktop computer and now I want to purchase a laptop but I know nothing about connecting and using them, please help and what else I might need with it? Thanks!

It’s practically a no-brainer.

For the most part, when you first turn on a new laptop you will be faced with a little setup process. If you can read English well, and if you’re even moderately intelligent, you can get through that process without much hassle.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt aren’t just techno-political weapons that are wielded by ‘Windows vs. Linux’ pundits. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt are hindering you from making a simple purchase. Forge ahead. Go boldly to the store and buy that laptop.

read the instructions that come with it

laptop magazine.I had a MacBook for a few years, and it just broke ):
I’m looking for a new laptop computer to replace it, and I want to make sure that I choose the right one.
I’m going to art school in the fall to study animation and game design. I like to game, also, but price is still important. I’m looking for something under $ 700.
I wouldn’t mind buying it used online.
I just need to figure out what laptop is right for me.

Proline laptops are good and are quiete affordable, i dont like the fact that mine doesn’t have a webcam but yeah, its cool.

Well, the best laptop you can afford will also need a discrete (seperate) graphics card. Because the onboard ones wont suffice for game design and animation. Buying a used laptop is not a good idea. Laptops generally break and wear down in around 3 years tops, while desktops, can last for almost 7-8 years. The best you can get would be this AMD Phenom quad core 2.2Ghz with ATI Radeon HD 6650m

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215037

Or dual core, Intel i3-380m with a GT 540m. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115986 There both really good.However if i were you i’d go with the quad core laptop, for one it has more cores, its cheaper, and has a good enough GPU for your animation studies, and low-end game design. If your planning to do like Crysis game design in your classes (very demanding game) than you shouldve had 2,000 from the start.

Just remember these: The 1st thing you should look for on the computer surface is A LOGO STICKER for NVIDIA or ATI MOBILITY RADEON just below the keyboard. This SHOWS that the laptop has A DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD (for AutoCAD & Adobe Photoshop). Diablo III, the game I would love most to play runs on 3D graphics & is rumored to need at least 1GB GRAPHICS MEMORY (lower graphics memory = CHEAPER laptop price),

Gaming laptops are designed for extreme use, that’s why with the MSI GT680R,
you’ll have a better laptop than the more expensive macbook pro with more powerful features.

If you’re looking for an affordable, not so big, yet best in performance gaming laptop?
LOOK NO FURTHER.
Like me, get the MSI GT680R 15.6″-full HD GAMING NOTEBOOK which comes with the 2nd Generation Core i7 Processor 2630QM, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB Hard Disk Drive (2 x 500GB 7200rpm SATA HDD) & a powerful Class 1, 1.5GB NVIDIA GTX460M DDR5 dedicated graphics card that can handle DirectX 11 enhancing the 3D detail effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6547393).
I got the chance to use the laptop first hand at the FRYS store. I came back to check out the laptop every hour for 6 hrs & found out that the air from the vent of the laptop remained cool compared to any other laptops on display there, meaning this laptop has proper heat management, that means this laptop can handle long hours of gruelling play. Now, I’m all stewed up saving to buy this b4 Blizzard releases Diablo 3.
The MSI GT680R 15.6″ Gaming Notebook w/ the Intel® Core™ i-7 retails for $ 1,499.99 (+ tax & other sur-charges; www.FRYS.com). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology so that I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT GETTING OUTDATED WITHIN THE NEXT 11 YRS.
click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

Playing for long hours? Get a COOLER MASTER U2 Notebook Cooler w/c has dual purposes. Cool thing about it is, you can position the fans on the right spot for better ventialation. When travelling, detach the easily detacheable dual fan, then use the aluminum frame as a protection for your laptop’s screen when inside the bag. I got mine from MicroCenter.com for 48% cheaper than the regular $ 24.99 tag (FRYS.com SKU#: 6344931).
watch the video: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

If you’re a lil’ bit low on budget, get the next best thing. The msi GE620-021 15.6″ Gaming Notebook also features a 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processor 2630QM & 8GB DDR3 RAM, just 640GB HDD, but only a Class 2, 1GB NVIDIA GT540M dedicated graphics card that can also handle DirectX 11 effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6539123).
The ASUS N53SV-XR1 is $ 150 cheaper, but comes w/ ONLY 4GB of memory.
click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

FOR best PRICE COMPARISON, go to Fry’s Electronics, MicroCenter, CostCo & BestBuy’s web sites.

I used to work for a big name computer company & usually received a lot of call regarding battery issues.
A brand new computer’s battery comes w/ a Standard 1yr Limited Warranty w/c means the expected life time of battery is only 1 year. Same thing goes for the charger.
So, if you don’t know how to take care of it, it will die out on you sooner than than expected.

FYI: I always tell my customers, a laptop’s battery is similar to a cell phone’s. You charge it when it’s depleted & you unplug the adapter when it is already fully charge (this will prevent the battery from getting overcharged & extend the life of the battery). So for less hassle, I always advice my customers to just remove the battery if they plan to use the computer for long hours straight (more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it & shorten the battery life.
ONLY USE THE BATTERY FOR PORTABILITY, if you’re on a trip, at McDonalds or Starbucks.

For chargers, make sure you don’t stretch out the cable too much that the one by the power jack that you plug into the side of the computer gets bent. Make sure this part is always straight or else the copper wires inside will break & soon you’ll have the problem of the charger not working anymore like what happened to some of my callers.

laptops for kids.Someone “fixed” a laptop computer at work. Now it no longer has a CD drive installed. I’ve tried inserting the startup disk and booting the computer, but it’s not reading from the drive. I’ve looked at the control panel and tried to find someway to reinstall the drive, but have not seen anything. Any suggestions?

You should enter the bios settings and you will probably find it there. Ther’s diffrent methods to enter the bios from one computer to another, but when you turn it on, it usally says something like “Press F1 to enter setup” or something like that. Look for a message similar to that, and do what is says, and you goes into the bios.

I need help connecting a personal computer and a laptop computer to the internet via wireless?

What type of equipment do I need to connect 2 computers (1 personal computer and 1 laptop to the internet ? I have the Windows Vista program. Do I need a certain type of router and a wireless adaptor for the laptop ?

yea

You need a wireless router. The desktop can be connected by straightwiring while only the notebook will be wireless. If it is a relatively new laptop it should have a wireless adapter built into it, if not you will have to buy one (they are easily installed).

You may want to find out from the company you get your service from which router works best with their service or they may have one you can get from them (for a monthly fee).

I use a linksys and have had very few problems.

you need one wireless router to attach to your modem, and your computers your attach a wireless card receiver that plugs into the usb port, but just check your lappy to see if its got a wireless card built in, its called wifi or wlan

How do you connect a router to a desktop and laptop computer?

I have road runner internet service a wireless G broadband router. I am trying to connect a router to my desktop so I will be able to use the internet on my laptop computer . When I look for my desktop computer on my laptop it is not showing that the desktop computer is on there. Will someone please help me through this. Thank you.

You must make sure that both computers are part of the same work group. To do this:

go to my computer
right click on white space then click on properties
Click on the “Computer Name” tab

See that thing that says “Workgroup: xxxxxx”?
you have to make sure that is the same on both computers
so if it’s not (which it sounds like it isnt)
click change then fix it, the workgroup can be anything, just make sure that it is the same on both computers
hope that helps

Also, if you’re not able to connect to the internet, your router might not be configured with your ISP details. Question, Was your router installed by a professional, or did you do it yourself?

When I got road runner I chose to keep the router I had. It’s easier to hookup.

I had exactly the same situation and it was like kagenosh said: had different names on the computers.

Connect the cablem modem LAN cable to the WAN of your router then connect another patch cable to your desktop from the router PORT 1-4 or any available open port on the router. I’m guessing you want to use laptop wirelessly with your router. Make sure your wireless card is on or functioning. Make sure your router is set up correctly either DYNAMIC connection or DSL/CABLE modem setting. All routers are different. Name your wireless router something you are familiar with so when you scan for it you’ll be able to distinguish amongst others in your area. Make sure you enable security on it.

very cheap laptops.I need to sync my data in Quickbooks between my laptop computer and my desktop computer. How can I do this so that any changes I make on my laptop will be reflected on my desktop?

10 points for best answer!!
Thanks!

It depends on where the 2 computers are located.

If your desktop is at the office and your laptop is always at home then you have to backup your QB file to a jump drive, take it home, restore it to your laptop and then backup from the laptop and restore it back at the office. This can get pretty messy though.

If your desktop always stays at the office and your laptop always travels back and forth with you to work – network the two computers and at the end of the day copy the QB file to your laptop and then the next morning copy the QB file from the laptop to the desktop.

You can also obtain a free version of a program called GoodSync and set it up to automatically sync your QB file from one machine to the other.

If you always leave the desktop machine on and connected to the internet then get a free version of LogMeIn {or other similar program) and using your laptop and an internet connection log into the desktop and work in your QB file that way.

Another option is to have your QB file hosted by an authorized QB hosting provider that way all you need on either computer is an internet connection and each machine can log into the remote host and work in the file.

There are lots of choices, you just have to pick the one that is most suitable for your needs.

What do you recommend as a good laptop computer?

I am looking to buy a laptop computer. I don’t want a Mac although I know how wonderful they are as I have one as a desktop.
I want to know what are some good quality, good price laptops at the moment. I mainly need it for writing on Word and I will also use it for the internet to.
If you could please specify the brand, model & the average price (AUS $ ) & of course why you think its the best I would be greatly appreciative.

DELL INSPIRON

Dell is pretty good.hp’s can blow me

i have an HP Pavilian Entertainment PC and i love it =)

I have two mac laptops that are mine and a del at work. There is no substitute for Apple. Sorry.

i really want that new dell inspiron mini 9, it looks so awesome and it’ so compact, around $ 400

for sure HP 15.4 inch or something like that, thats what i have= wonderful

I luv macs, but they cost around $ 900.
I would suggest a good Windows with a good virus protection like
PC Cillin.

anything Gateway

Mac Book clowns

laptop stand.I have an acer aspire 3680 laptop computer with windows basic vista programs and its running really slow. I want to restore the factory settings to the computer but I don’t know how. The CD-ROM drive no longer works so I can’t upload the disk that originally came with the computer (I don’t even think I have it anymore). How can I restore the computer to how it was when I first got it?

Try going to your control panel and look in systems or computer. there should be options for restore points or formats. If there is restore point just select a time and date and it should go back in time and look how it did the previous date but it will delete some file besides pictures,music,and videos ect.

ALT-F10 as soon as you start up.

There’s a program built into the start menu. Go to Start, Programs, PC Tool Kit, then click on smart restore. This pogram will let you make 2 recovery cds which you can reinstall your computer with back to factory settings

Control Panel is your best resource with my knowledge based on a windows computer, not Mac

Hopefully this works! If you don’t care for your files, scratch the entire harddrive and start fresh!

How can I clean my laptop/computer screen without scratching it?

Besides those specially designed wipes for screens, is there anything else i can do/use to clean my laptop/computer screen without scratching it? Please let me know. Thanks.

yh a plain cloth…

Safest way is to use a dry microfiber cloth. If that doesn’t cut it, you can use some water and then dry with the microfiber cloth.

Take a paper towel, fold it a little, and lightly dampen it. Softly rub the screen in one direction until it looks clean with now smudges. You may also use Windex

Well. without special wipes there are some other alternatives you can use. A: take a soft rag and spray it lightly with some womens perfume and wipe down the screen gently.B: Use the special rag that comes with glasses and some other electronics fog up the screen with your breath or gently spray glass cleaner on the screen and wipe it down gently.

wtfitzbummer w
this is what i do for my laptop and phones take a small piece of clot or paper towel -mostly the kitchen type – put some glass cleaner and clean it but completely turn the device of and this also works with any device and put the glass cleaner on the clot not the screen

How to transfer a computer game to a laptop computer?

I recently purchased The Sims2 Double Deluxe computer game disc. I want to play it on my laptop but it doesn’t have a disc slot. Is there anyway I can simply transfer the game’s data from my PC to my laptop computer?
Thanks.
sorry, netbook.

If your “laptop” doesn’t have a disk drive, it’s not a laptop, it’s a netbook. You’ll need an external drive.

You can’t transfer programs (a game is a program), they have to be installed.

A better question to ask is… Can your netbook run the game at all, if it doesn’t even have an optical drive?

reconditioned laptops.i need to buy a new laptop but i dont know what the best one would be for my specifications. i really only need it for basic stuff like pictures and music, but i need to store a lot of both. i also watch movies/tv shows online. and since i am going to college i need a computer with long battery life so that i can bring it to classes.
what computer brand/model would you recommend for someone like me, i really dont know much about computers so any recommendations are appreciated.
tia!

In my personal opinion i think that you should buy a macintosh computer. they are easly accecable and very easy to use they cannot get viruses from the internet and usually wont slow down. you can buy like a microsoft office for the mac or you can buy the mac version of microsoft office it is very nice and accecable

well you’re a student and you don’t play high end games. so a netbook or low end laptop would be very ideal. i know here in the UK you can get them for under 200 pounds. I would recommend eepc, advent, HP, Compaq any popular type of manufacturer will sell these types of laptops.

what you want to look for is an intel atom processor, these are designed to use as little power as possible. and so, will extend that battery life.

i have heard of netbooks and low end laptops go for up to ten hours battery life.

also, don’t pay too little for your laptop. because like everything with computers you get what you pay for. i would say between 175 and 250 dollars, or even 300 dollars at the most.

don’t worry too much about your memory, that is your RAM, because you’re using the laptop for basic usage, and it doesn’t matter too much about that because it won’t affect the performance of the machine =]

Also, This is my personal opinion, but if you want stuff like microsoft’s office suite, there are things you can get for free that are totally compatible with it and do the exact same thing. go to www.openoffice.org and download the suite =] perfect for any student it has served me well in the last 4 years i’ve been studying and working in the IT industry.

And storage wise you can get external storage i know you can get hard drives up to a terabyte, that is, 1000 gigabytes, which is roughly equivalent to…i think it’s around 400 blank dvds. which can already hold a LOT of data. roughly equivalent to around 500,000 photos. so if you need storage, my advice is go out and buy a USB memory stick or external hard drive. don’t use floppy disks as they are very susceptible to losing your data.

Hope i helped =] enjoy your new laptop =]

HPs are cheap and durable.

What is the best laptop computer to buy?

I am starting college in a couple months and I need to buy a new laptop computer; however, I am not sure which is the best to buy. I will need it to write reports and work on projects. I also plan to take a lot of multimedia and film studies classes that will require me to make and burn my own DVD’s so it needs to be able to do that. I currently have a sony vaio but i need a better one for college. Please help, Thanks!

I’ve always preferred Toshiba for laptops!

But you may want to look into Mac’s for multimedia. I’ve never owned one, so I cant say about those.

macbook pro with built in web cam

Dude! You’re getting a Dell!!……..that’s what I have. And it is great.

If you getting into films and movies….I’d get a Mac

Hello:

Both DELL and Gateway have some pretty nice ones. You may end up needing a better model than the lower-end models, but both have good mid-priced models in the $ 700 to $ 800 US price range.

Cheers!

With what you need to do definately go for an Apple MacBook but get the one with DVD burner. It is what i have and they are brilliant with a fantastic screen. They may be a little more expensie but they are worth every cent. Go try one at an Apple seller.

no not one is better then others all has the same bits and piece’s.

Think about upgrading the one you have, more RAM, better graphics card, DVD burner and bigger(bigger the better, movies take a lot of space) hard drive , would work out cheaper and can be done quite easily.

Well this is kind of a loaded question…the best…go to Alienware/falcon Northwest or one of those guys that will supply you with one for a rather large sum…if you are looking for an update for the Vaio, just get a newer one…most laptops can be supplied with a DVD burner from the company that makes it, and most any reputable company will be fine.

most powerful laptop.In any and all aspects, what is the absolute best laptop computer in the world today, and why?

Just curious to hear other people’s opinions.

It is really hard to say because there is always new bits coming out so and different bits work better with different brands ect… Look up Crysis ultra high graphics HD ( you need the best gaming pc’s to play it) They are among the top pc’s like mine :D

It is very much a personal preference and largely depends on what an individual wants to use the laptop for: gaming, designing, basic purposes etc. If looking for a laptop that is of high standards and meets your specific needs, I’d recommend using Windows PC Scout: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pc-scout/. Just click the orange ‘Let’s get started’ button and you will be guided to a variety of laptop options that would be best suited for you.

Cheers,

Windows Canada Outreach

I’d say either the Alienware MX17x or the 17″ MacBook Pro, when the i7 update is released. Both great computers and utterly at the top of their game. And the i7 MacBook is going to be brutal…you just know it.

Is Defragmenting my Laptop Computer safe? Would it affect my current settings and programs if i do so?

Is it really safe to do Defragmentation regularly? because I’m planning to defragment my laptop and it’s my first time to do it, that’s why I’m hesitating that it might not be a good idea, and I’m not sure what will happen after. Would it change the current arrangements and settings and everything in my computer?

It doesn’t do anything to your settings, documents, programs. All it does is move the files on the disk so that they are physically closer to other files in the same program or area. It keeps the disk from over working as it seeks files.

It can take a long time if it’s never been done. Like hours of time. Just start it at night, and it’ll be done in the morning.

for speed enhancement its better to clean registry, defrag it and clean windows junk through some effective tool like the intel software partner, reinout: http://ibx.intel.com/directory/productpage/tabid/85/language/en-us/p-4869-reginout-pc-optimizer-reg-cleaner.aspx

Yes. Its safe.

No a disk defrag won’t change anything in your computer, on the contrary, it helps the machine to function much better and faster.
Do a cleaning of the disk first. Use the program that comes preinstalled in your computer. Start/All Programs/Accessories/System tools/Disk cleaner.
Windows comes with a defrag program of which I am not a big fan.Quite slow and…..download instead this one

http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/

You might also do a registry cleaning, it gives your machine a big boost

http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/registry-cleaner/download/

They are both safe to use
Clean your browsing history, temps files etc… open internet explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Browsing History. Click delete/Delete All/ also delete files and settings stored by add-ons/ok
Refresh or Reset your browser, you’re ready for a new start
Good Luck♣♣

laptop sleeve 17.I write. A lot. At least 50 articles a week, sometimes 10 a day. All are 400+ words. I mainly write articles online in exchange for compensation. With that said, I would need a laptop computer that has a decent text editor, internet access (preferably WiFi certified), and an image editing program.

What would be the best laptop for the price?

Dell is hard to beat for performance and value. The writing will come with the software, ie MS word

I think Sony Viao laptops would be best for writer but the quantity you are talking about is heavy so you should buy a computer because laptops keyboard is so sensitive rather than computer keyboard.

My laptop computer does not seem to recognise my external hard drive. What should I do?

I connected my external hard drive to my laptop computer, but the laptop does not seem to recognise it. But when I connect it to another computer, it is recognised. I believe the problem is with my laptop computer. What should I do?

If the USB where you are plugging the external drive is working with other devices such as mouse, webcam etc then it could be a problem either in the drive enclosure or a driver (if OS is Windows 9x/Me) or kinda like a restriction on the mass storage drivers (you need a registry hack and file ownership on this problem – common in corporate environment).

Some drive enclosure requires two usb ports to work properly so check that out too.

HTH

When you plug it in your USB port see if you can feel the drive spinning up (it will vibrate). If your ext. drive is powered by the USB only (does not have a power brick), your computer may not output enough power through the USB.

The previous answer could apply as well (permission restrictions).

It is also possible that your computer does not properly assign a drive letter to the external drive especially if you run Windows XP. To verify the computer sees the drive (it may see it but not show it in my computer), right click on My Computer and select Manage from the context menu. Then on the left side go to Storage > Disk Management. See if the device is visible there. If it is, then right click and select Change drive letter and put it on some other letter.

Good luck!

laptop buying guide.Do not understand how a laptop computer operates without a telephone line hookup. What do I need, and how much does it cost?

You just need a broadband and a wireless router. All laptops today have built in wireless network.

A wireless router is about 60 dollars, of course you can go higher if you want a better one.

Well if you want a wired connection, all you need is a networking card [in your laptop] Look for a RECTANGLE shaped port [its slightly longer than a phone plug-in] and then all you need to do is go buy an ethernet cord. Either CAT5 or CAT6. You can find this at wal-mart usually on the opposite side of the printer isle.

If you mean wireless, then you’re using a wifi signal, which means you’re connecting through the air using signal rather than using physical cable. In this case, you’ll need a network card that supports wireless [in your laptop] and you’ll need a wireless router. basicly its

Computer > networking card > WiFi signal > WiFi router > ethernet cable > modem > cable to ISP [internet service provider]

time to ditch the dial up and move to high speed.

By your question, I assume you are operating on Dial-Up. While many laptops still offer dial-up modems, the technology has gone the way of the dodo bird. If it is offered in your area, DSL and cable prices have gone significantly down and I would recommend moving to that.

As for your question, once you have DSL or cable, you will have a DSL/Cable modem. This will have an ethernet port, which is wider than a regular phone port. Using Cat5E cable, you can either directly connect the modem to your computer’s ethernet jack or a router’s ethernet jack. A wireless router will allow your computer to connect wirelessly.

How can I connect my Desktop computer to my laptop computer?

I want to connect my old desktop computer to my laptop, so that I can access all of the file on both of the computers. Can I do this by taking the cord that connects my monitor to my desktop computer?
I’ve heard that I could take my ethernet cord and plug it into my laptop and my desktop, will that work?
I want to try to avoid wireless networking, but if that’s my only option I’d like to hear about that one too.
Thanks.

The easiest way is to by a Ethernet Router and connect an ethernet cable to each PC.
You do not have to have a conection to the internet to do this.
You should then be able to see the other machine using the “My Network Places” button.
However to see the files you need to “share” the Harddrive to the network.
You do this by “Right hand clicking” on the drive or folder you wish to share and select Sharing and Security and follow the prompts.

First off, you need to provide your operating system, and what you know about each computer (what kind of stuff it’s got in it)

Well, from what I gather you have a couple options:

One thing I have heard of (although never used) is called the Tornado. It is a special cable system that allows direct data transfer between USB ports on computers. It’s kinda pricey though. Here’s the site: http://www.thetornado.com/

The more common option would be through a network. You can either use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect them directly, or you could use 2 cables and router/switch to connect them. Depending on what you have, both options are viable.

For wireless transfer, you would need either A. A wireless router, or B. Depending on what type of network card/OS your using, you could set up a temporary, or “ad hoc” network, causing the laptop to broadcast it’s own, short-range wireless network.

All of these options are totally usable, and I have used every single one without fail (aside from the Tornado)

and toshiba portege tablet

toshiba folio 100 tablet get My back light works fine while my laptop computer is starting up but turns off before I’m fully booted up and nothing I do can get it to come back on. Everything else works fine but without my back light the screen is difficult to see in the daylight. I have a Gateway laptop about 3 years old with Vista software. Can anyone help me?

It needs to be tested by a pro like myself but id say chances are that your screen is going bad and you will need to get it replaced. Try resetting the bios to factory settings wich should be f2 or the delete key when your computer first turns on. There should be an LCD setting or Backlight setting. Id be glad to walk you through it if you want over the phone. I own a computer company. If that does not work then new screen!

Laptop computer.?

I’m a 3D max artist student and I’m planing to buy a Laptop shortly, Pls advise me what are the configration require to smooth running and to do my art work pls list a detailed information b4 I buy the computer.

I am a graphic artist and have a HP Compaq nx9420. It works great for everything that has to be done!

1GB Ram
100GB HardDrive
128MB Video Card?

It’s a great set up and I recommend it. It’s one of HP’s newest put outs.

You need a laptop with:
more than 2 Ghz processor
1 GB Ram
256 MB VGA
100 GB HDD
with a good cooling system

Um…you get the most expensive one you can afford Its not so much what you NEED its more about what you can afford If you’re doing graphics though, you want an Apple I prefer PC’s but for media editing Apple’s are the best Start with this

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/1284002/wo/TZ5GLIabhQWC2FX9u9G1RnavU4Y/2.?p=0

Set it up however it will be best for you and if thats to much money, they have other models on the site

Its all about the money

I would suggest go for a DUAL CORE PROCESSOR it is really effiecient and fast and forr RAM try to get as much as you can get. My reccomendation would be to stay away from DELL they suck big time! and plus the parts are pretty cheap. I have an Acer laptop and it works fine. but my brother has a IBM Thinkpad and it is REALLY good and his is like 1 year older too..

laptop motherboard.I am in the market for a new or refurbished Laptop Computer for my Mobile Disk Jockey Company. I use a program called Virtual DJ to manage and mix the songs on my computer. Can I get away with buying a less expensive Laptop if I were to store my music on external hard drives? If so, what is the minimum Ram/Memory I need?

here is again a good deal I found
Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q896 18.4-Inch Laptop – Fusion Finish in Omega Black
*Intel Core i7-740QM Processor 1.73 GHz (2.93 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology), 6MB L3 Cache
*Configured with 4GB DDR3 1066MHz (max 8GB) 2 main memory slots. Both slots occupied.
*500GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard disk drive with TOSHIBA Hard Drive Impact Sensor (3D sensor)
*18.4″ diagonal widescreen TruBrite TFT LCD display at 1920 x 1080 native resolution (FHD) with Native support for 1080p content at a 16:9 aspect ratio
*Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a 12 cell/48Wh Lithium Ion battery pack; Battery Life (measured by MobileMark 2007): 3 hours, 47 minutes

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Qosmio-X505-Q896-18-4-Inch-Laptop/dp/B0041O5YWK/?tag=sdhrhiaiaa-20

you can visit below link you can find more options here :
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574865779&toolid=10001&campid=5336440665&customid=sdhrhiaiaa&mpre=http%3a%2f%2fshop.ebay.com%2fi.html%3f_nkw%3dlaptop%26_sacat%3d0%26_odkw%3dlaptop%26_osacat%3d0%26bkBtn%3d%26_trksid%3dm270

I beat the daylights out of Virtual DJ and my DJ computers.

I always buy something top of the line.

Right now I suggest anything:

Quad Core or better

6 gig of ram

512 Meg video ram

Hard drive doesn’t matter as you will most likely use external drives.

The HP computers with 2 sound cards are sweet.

My father has been a dj for 11 years hes always used the same laptop Dell i help him out sometimes and he is a great dj. Dell laptops run for about $ 500 which isn’t bad, just remember you get what you pay for. However i can recommend Mackie speakers, as well as mixers. lights you could probably get at Walmart or Sears. Remember however the lights are a nice touch but not needed people will say “WOW those are cool” but within a minute they will forget all about them. I know this all isn’t what you asked but you cant go into a disk jockey company with just a laptop, a few flash drives and a couple speakers, you will probably want lights and 2 Mackie speakers, your laptop with all the music on the laptop trust me on that and you will DEFIANTLY need CD’s and an aux. cable. Just remember though DJ business is a very hard well paying job, however not reliable

laptop computer?

I will not be using my laptop for 2 months, what should I do, disconnect everything???Please help, I am new to the computer and not sure what to do, This isthe only computer I have.

Basicly just shut it off and let it sit where ever you intend to keep it. You may remove the battery as well if you want, but this is not really very nessary. your LapTop most likely sat around in the manufacture box for who knows how long before you bought it and the battery was in the LapTop then.

For safty reasons I highly reccomend that you do however disconect everything. Think about maybe a electrical storm or a fire hasard as well. You want to keep and use your LapTop in the future.

Think ahead!!

Hope this helped.

Well you want to turn your computer off. Remove the Battery and put it in it’s case (if you have one) if you don’t put it in a plastic storage bag to keep the prongs on the battery clean of dust. Put it in a safe dry place. Make sure it’s not stored in a very hot area or it could cause damage. Lastly unplug all power internet wires such as a dial-up modem cord or ethernet cord. It will be safe and run good. But after that long you want to clear out Temporary Internet Files and history and run DiskDeframenter and DiskClean Up. Also make sure your anti-Virus is up-to-date.
Good Luck

low priced laptops.I need to buy my daughter a laptop for College, she starts this coming August…I have no idea what to get; I have never had to buy a computer; my home computer was given to me set up and ready to go FIVE years ago; my laptop is provided by my employer….please give me suggestions on what I need to buy. thanks!

If you are looking for a PC, definatly get a Sony VAIO. If you are willing to spend a little more money, get her an Apple MacBook.

try a dell inspiron b130

I prefer HP that comes completely set up with back up restore disks. I would suggest that be at least 80 gigs hard drive, 512 RAM, pentium 4 processor. But the standard is probably much higher now.
E

the compaq NC6400 from HP are really nice… They come with everything a person will need, and it will last for a long time. Lots of speed and hard drive space….i currently have one for college and i am very happy with it

For starters I bought a laptop with Vista, and needless to say it was terrible.. I do not have it anymore. I exchanged it 3 times and it still did not work right.. My advise is to find a laptop with Windows XP or lower. My opinion on the best would be and Hewlett Packard. Good Luck..

BUY A DELL

I am starting university in september, and my dad got me a sony vaio…..and guess what, it rocks

definitely get a sony vaio, its affordable, good looking, and just awesome….

we got a good deal on boxing day…..best buy has good deals sometimes

Don’t buy an hp. They will break right after the warranty expires. I would recommend getting her an apple macbook. Apple care is great. They aren’t that expensive and it’s small enough to take to class. If not a macbook then get an ibm thinkpad. I have a friend who dropped his down the stairs and i survived. If you want to go cheaper than that then get a dell with a good warranty.

I just bought a Toshiba satellite series..My girlfriend bought one too and so did her son.. They have very good buys at Circuit City. One thing I found out is, be sure you make sure her cell phone company has a compatible way to link up. Otherwise she will have to go to what is considered a hot spot to link to the Internet. It is such a competitive business that the salesperson will tell you that you have to have a particular cell phone to work with the laptop. Be sure and call the cell phone company first you may save yourself a head ache. All I can say is my girlfriend has had her computer for about 5 months and she loves it and she is a graphic artist and her son is a engineer from Rolla and he recommended it. So me I am falling in love with my lap top just ask my husband. (LOL) I know your daughter will love anything her daddy buys her.

Do colleges specify on which kinds of scholarships that they accept?

I know you can be awarded with scholarships at the particular school. But that’s not what i’m talking about.
Say you win scholarship money on fast web or another scholarship finder and it’s not necessarily a state scholarship, will it definitely go towards any college of your choice? Or do you have to make sure the college will accept it?
Or how does winning scholarships work?

Yes, you just have to inform them that you have received a scholarship and they will input that into their database. Any scholarships will do as long as that scholarship is sent to your school, you will get it :) .

You’ll learn about the types of financial help (financial loans, grants, and work-study), how to use, common beliefs, and far more.
Individual colleges and universities may supply grants and need- and merit-based scholarships and grants
[1] University student aid can be awarded because grants and scholarships, low-interest, government-subsidized financial loans, and knowledge tax benefits, and most people is entitled to some of it.
In the actual U. S Learners received greater than $ 109. 7 thousand in government aid over the 2008-2009 academic year Knowledge tax benefits added nearly more compared to $ 6. 8 thousand in 2008-2009 The aid “window” continues open 18 months in situation student’s financial circumstances modify and call for adjustment thus to their aid request.
The request – approximately 130 questions on a yearly basis – views household measurement, income, assets, the variety in college and other financial factors to view a student’s aid eligibility and an expected family info (EFC) The Free Program for National Student Aid application (FAFSA) is mostly used intended for determining government, state, and institutional need-based help eligibility Take advantage of education loans and grants This Option Today And Change Your life Forever! Free Income Grants are funded because of the U. S government.
When in search of financial support, remember there are differences involving grants and loans Post-secondary knowledge opens doors by giving better task opportunities The grants available under the new CSGP will likely be predictable, easy to use for, and furnished to students at the beginning and middle on the school 12 months.

Program Highlights:

Canada University student Grant intended for Persons from Low-Income People: Students from low-income individuals who qualify for a federal student loan and match the specific grant eligibility needs will get $ 250 each month of analyze The cross over grant will certainly equal the actual difference between your CMSF Centuries bursary received over the 2008-2009 college year as well as a Canada University student Grant intended for Persons from Low-Income People or Europe Student Give for Folks from Middle-Income People.
(Take note that students might be eligible for more than one grant in unison).

girl turned 18,was honor student,now says she don;t have to do stuff for school now shes 18 .What can I do?

I’m desperate here I’ve pleaded,nagged left her alone,gave ultimations,even argued w/ her.she is skipping school,she never done this before she got with this boyfriend (1st one ever)now she is on probation w/school almost to lose her chance to graduate w/her class.losing credits from lack of participation.I’ve got a fortu ne wrapped up in sat tests act tests,college applications,scholarship finders. What can I do ?Just watch her ruin her life?Her father isn’t in her life,she wont listen to me.I called the school,guidence is very upset with her. Talked to the boys mom & dad ,he’s doing the same.Co-workers say kick her out &let her see what the REAL world is.But that will mess up her chance to go college & even finish school. Is there anyone out there in INDIANA (agency)that can put their heads on right??!!I’m petrified, this is a chance of a lifetime.I wish I could just send them both to bootcamp-but she’s 18-now.Is there no intervention out there for kids like this?????PLEASE TELL ME

Tell her that if she is not going to go to school she has to get a full-time job with benefits and pay you rent. Tell her that since she is not going to school that she is not going to be covered by your health insurance anymore. Tough-love has saved a lot of kids from going down the wrong path.

unfortunately there is nothing much you can do, but try to reason with her. She’s 18 and legally can do whatever she wants. Maybe she is hanging out this boy just because you don’t want her to. a lot of kids do things just because their parents are so against it and trying to stop them. whatever happens good luck. ask her where she wants to be in 5 yrs. working at Mcdonalds with no education?

well i mean what have you got to lose..you need to sit her down and tell her..how do you expect to be an adult if you can’t act like one…i mean i’m 18 and sometimes it wears you out but i still do it… hold on oh she’s still in high school….ok you need to cut her off from that boy..which is hard to do but you should ask her where she sees herself in the next 10 years…and how much money will she be making…not even with a high school diploma can you really make a descent living…but if she keeps acting you do need to kick her out for a bit..tell her to go live with her boyfriend and see how that goes!!! i know you say that will mess up her chances of getting into college but isn’t she doing that already right now!? i know its hard to do..but its also harder to just standby and watch a perfectly good/smart person mess up they’re life!!! good luck!

I agree with maxy..I have a 19 and 21 yr old and as long as they live with me my rules are enforced…Ant they dont agree with them until they see what there choices are.Hope that drugs are not involved but I would look into that. If they dont go to school they work and pay..nothing in life is free make them learn it now..
Shes 18 and the FREE ride is OVER…………………………..
Put your foot down now. Best of luck to you.

after all that hard work she is just going to give up?!! that is insane! she is almost there almost done!!!!… does she need counseling did something happen recently to make her just not care anymore…. if she is still living in you home then you are still her parent she has to go to school….drive her to school show up in her classes if she is gonna act like a child treat her llike a child….. i just cant believe she would go all the way through school to just quit or whatever….

At eighteen, I had two choices. 1) Get married to my boyfriend and live together married and pay our bills 2) Go to college and live with my parents and also work to support myself (other than rent) and my college bills.
Both choices are choices, but they did not say I could just live there and mill around with my boyfriend. It should not be an option to drop out and live for free and someone else’s expense. This is not good for her because she stills needs help in starting her life as an adult. Adults have to learn these things to survive.

Theres nothing you can do. I know its not what you want to hear, but its true. Ask her to consider where she sees herself in 10 years, because education is necessary for work. Make a deal — if she finishes high school well she can do whatever she wants. I’m pretty sure taking a couple years off wouldnt hurt her chances of getting into college.

When i was 18 i thought i knew everything and i made big mistakes such as quitting school my senior year back in 95, i left home and i just started sliding downward. I finally realized i was being stupid and my parents were right and i got back on track after 4 years and ended up graduating college. Don’t argue with her. Don’t pressure her. The more you argue with her the more she is gonna rebell. I pray she wakes up and dont pass up her opportunity to make something of herself. I honestly feel this boy is having some influence on her. If you forbid him to come over she will find a way of seeing him regardless. I have not become a mother yet therefore I can not really give you the best advice, I can only relate to her behavior and tell you what’s making her act more rebellious.

Your home, your rules, take ot or leave it and let her learn the hard way….

So this is a long list:
1. needs to have bachelor degrees in Theatre and Early Childhood Education
2. About or less than 30,000 for tuition.
3. Medium-sized college
4. Plenty of activities
5. No preference on state or private college
6. Plenty of scholarship opportunities
7. In ohio

thank you everyone I’ve tried college finders and they just don’t answer my requests.

I got these from collegeboard:

Ashland University
Baldwin-Wallace
Bowling Green
Capital
Cedarville
Central State
Cleveland State
Franciscan University of Steubenville
Malone University
Miami University: Oxford Campus
Mount Union College
Ohio State University: Newark Campus
Otterbein
Shawnee State
Tiffin
University of Dayton
University of Findlay
Walsh
Wright State

Good scholarship finders?

I kind of got into the college game a little late, my original plans were to join the military, but I was rejected. So I’m scrambling to get myself together for college and any way to simplify finding scholarships would be great.

I use fastweb.com – I like the format of it.

Think about it – If there were such a thing as scholarships for doing basically nothing other than attending high school like everybody else then EVERYBODY else, including all of those that preceded you, would have already received them – and the programs would be out of funding because all the money would have been used up. And thus, there is no such a thing.

In addition to Fastweb you may want to consider www.schoolsoup.com

I am trying to apply for scholarships and a lot of scholarship finders ask if you have any diseases…hemophilia is one of them. I have Von-Willebrands disorder. It is a bleeding disordor. Since it is a bleeding disorder would it still count as hemophilia?

yes it is.

Scholarship Recommendations?

I am looking for scholarships where you can submit an essay on a given topic and then the winner is decided by the number of votes they receive. One example I can give is the crosslites scholarship where you submit an essay on a quote and then 90% of your score is based on votes.

Do you guys know of any similar scholarships I can apply to?

Thanks!

P.S. Please don’t suggest scholarship finder search engines because they take forever with the registration and looking up and all :/ haha. thank you!

Check out the list of scholarship contests below. Some have voting to select the winner.

If you apply for a bunch of scholarships using fastweb or some other scholarship finder, and say you get $ 10,000 worth of scholarship money total, does that mean this money goes toward the tuition of any college you choose?

If that’s the case, then why do people say stuff like, “I got $ 20,000 scholarship for Arizona State University, but have to pay full tuition for another university?”

How exactly does it work?

Thanks
And what’s the whole deal with FAFSA?

Hello how are you? What I suggest you do is use a scholarship search. A scholarship search allows you to create a profile and receive information for all the scholarships that you are eligible to apply for based on your profile description. Scholarshipsupport.com actually has 3 free scholarship searches available right now. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
