Thanks for the info, but it still doesn't work... It just pauses at 84%. Ubuntu "freezes" too. I can't really disconnect it because its a laptop, so i still may need help...

Ok, I wanted to install a new version of XP on my computer, but when i format the drive with the install disc, it keeps pausing at 84%. I did this 3 times over, but it simply wont work. Help please!

Ok, i guess i just am unlucky. It only took my 2 hours to install Windows 7. It took my friend 2 days to install it because he had to back up and install. He just backed up his drive the first day and installed on the second

Action is my favorite genre for videogames. My favorite action game has to be GTA IV. post what your favorite action game is!!!

Eh, microsoft would destroy apple...

Ok, so I've been with Sprint for a while up until a month or two ago. When I moved to central Florida, my Sprint service reception started getting a little crappy, but I didn't mind. I soon got a new phone, The LG Incite to use with my service. After a day of use, the problems started. My phone wouldn't ring when someone was calling me, even though I didn't have it on vibrate or silent! Also, the phone wouldn't show any record of someone calling me! When I did receive calls, there'd usually be a problem, such as the other person not being able to hear me speak, or the other way around! I eventually got fed up and called Sprint . They agreed to send me a new phone. Guess what? That one didn't work either! I called one more time. They gave me a third phone, a Samsung Instinct. It worked, but still performed poorly. I went to a Sprint store in Orlando, and they hooked me up with a "new" antenna and some decals that were supposed to help with reception (dumb*****). After I had spent almost $600 trying to repair the service, I called sprint, because I wanted to leave their service. When i talked to the rep., you know that he said? "You're in a low service area, you can quit without any penalty charge." Oh, so they just now tell me? I demanded my money back, and they only wanted to pay up to half of it back. I didn't want anything more to do with them, so I took the money and quit. Sprint really needs to clean up their act. Switched to AT&T the next day

Oh, I've just never seen it being done with a laptop before

yep, by the time we get the i7 computer we've wanted, they'll have like an Z10 Double-Quad Ultra Core 720 processor.... I agree with The Simpleton too. I'll be getting a computer like that when prices come down.

The most embarrassing thing that I've ever went through happened this year...in high school (which is the worst of all places ). Ok, so I'm in TV Production 1, and one of the projects that we had to do was to film a PSA. Ok, I thought, no problem. So I eventually did my PSA like two days before it was due. On the date it was due, we had to present it in front of the class. So, the day finally came, and I eventually had to present it. I told my teacher that I had to go cue my VHS up (it was what I had placed the video on, since that was what he wanted it on) I went into the back room where the VHS players are (they broadcast the morning show over the whole school). So I just popped the tape in one of the players (there were 10) and i started to look for my PSA. Now, this was not my VHS, it was my parents VHS, so i was scrolling through episodes of Two and a Half Men, and so on. The people in the main room suddenly asked who was broadcasting over he school. I panicked and took the VHS out. I went into the main room and put it into the VHS player there (in front of the class. luckily, this one didn't broadcast schoolwide. So, i was just fast forwarding and rewinding through the tape, to look for my psa, when all of a sudden, x-rated content flashed on the screen (the p-word). I didn't know what to do because i was so shocked. The whole class saw it. Even the teacher. I was so embarrassed. I eventually couldn't find my psa, o I just re-burned it to the VHS, and I presented it. The teacher didn't give me a referral, since he's cool, and it's happened before. However, my friends still kept it over my head for a week or two, and by third period that day, the whole school knew about it. I got an 85 on the project.

wow thats some way to choose a name...

For quite a while now I haven't been using my Symantec Antivirus program because I've been using AVG Antivirus 8.5. However, my Symantec Antivirus is still installed on the computer. i know that you cant have two antivirus programs installed on one computer blah, blah, blah, but I couldn't uninstall it! So i just installed avg beside it. Since the Symantec Antivirus doesn't work right, windows says my computer is unprotected, even though avg is installed. I've tried to uninstall Symantec, but an error keeps popping up that says a .dll file can't be uninstalled, fatal error, aborting uninstall... I've tried cutting it off at the knees, but it refuses to be removed! Can anyone help me? I don' want to stick around with symantec anymore!

That's what i thought. firefox is probably one of the best browsers. I don't like Opera at all! What kind of company charges you for a web browser??

Your friend is lying to you. how could someone be able to steal it from Bill Gates's computer? he probably has that stuff on code black 100X lockdown whenever he isn't around his computer...

it could be anything, really. to me it looks like a cross between a ds and an mp3 player, with the psp's xmb interface. Well, I'm not surprised. the chinese and japanese have the craziest things you'll ever see. In fact, they're about 12 years ahead of us into the future

I thought the trailers said it would be released on Nov. 6...

Man...those pics make me wish that i still lived in the city....

Is it a laptop or desktop?

Well, whatever it is I can put money on the table that it'll probably be a touch screen console or something advanced. Heck, maybe they'll partner with nintendo and make a WiiPhone

Nice specs -- but how do you have two HDD's running in a laptop?

i want to see the new movie 2012, but i don't want to have a GI Joe incident again where it sucked. please post a review off the movie here!

Ok, I have two computers: a gateway MX60027 laptop and a custom built gaming rig ($1150 worth). Here are the specs of my gateway: Here are the specs to my custom computer: Those are just a little of my specs... showoff your computer's specs here! list the features and hardware of your computer, from RAM to the OS... I wanna see who's got the best computer Notice from truefusion: As per the readme, topics like this should be avoided. Generic lists should be placed within quotes.

since that new i7 core processor came out, i've been seeing some unbelieveable computer specs. I see them in some best buy ads and such. Here's an example of what one of them will have: Those would just be some of the specs I'd see. when is see the $1250 price tags, I wonder who'd buy them. i7 isn't even widely produced and marketed yet. Heck some people are just now getting to intel core duo processors.... does anyone else see computers like these?

can someone tell me how I can remove the copy protection from an MP3/MP4 file downloaded off of iTunes? I downloaded them legally, but i can't transfer them to anything...but an ipod, which is annoying. Please help or give advice...

for firefox, I use DownThemAll! as my download manager. There's also an add-on that speeds up your downloads called firedownload (http://fireaddons.com/downloads/). When i used these together, I got like 1mb per sec. However, after a while, I couldn't use DTA and firedownload together, so i just use dta now.
