Alright, I've got a quick question for yall. My laptop, well, it's being a PITA. First off, the keyboard is ignoring many of the keys I hit. Here, let me type a sentence without goin back and fixing it. My keyboad is being gay nd it realy pisses me off I'm ired of it and i is eally annoying. I spelled that perfectly, taking my time, yet my keyboard ignored some letters. Also, when I use the touch pad, the cursor goes berserk. I can just touch the thing, and the cursor goes flying around the screen. So, right now, I'm stuck using a regular mouse in the USB drive, and spending more time fixing errors than I am typing. 0 -

Wife and I are the administrators on the computer. The kids have limited accounts. One of the kids has found a way to make their "My Documents" folder invisible to us.
We can still navigate to the folder by rooting around in the C drive so it is no big deal but I am baffled as to why it won't show up for me,I can't get it to show up under "My Computer" with the rest of the "My Documents" folders.
All the accounts are set to show ALL files. Any ideas?

If I know an IP address, but don't know the website, how do I access that IP address? The reason I ask is, my firewall shows me the IP address of people who try to hack in my PC, and I would like to ping them back just to let them know I know they're trying to look in.

can you put 2 different video cards in a computer when they're from different mfrs and use totally different drivers?
right now I do have 2 vid cards with a monitor on each one, everything works fine cuz they're both from the same mfr and use the same driver.
but I got this mongo 21" monitor that can do a 2048x1536 resolution, and neither of my vid cards can do that. so I want to swap 1 card with a newer one. no vid cards are available that use the same driver as what I'm using right now. so it will be different. I don't want to replace both cards.
would it work?0 -

I have tryed atleast 5 times to delete them and the next time I turn on the computer they reapear in my favorites again. Does anybody have any ideas as to what's causing this to happen? I did a defrag last night and backed up the registry and operation system and that didn't help either. I need some help with this. Thanks Gary 0 -

Okay, heres the deal. The wife "fixed" something on our computer and now I can't access Gunbroker because my computer says something along these lines:
"Content Advisor will not allow you to see this website.
This page may contain some or all of the following.
ICRA3 Depiction of weapon use. Limited.
This rating was obtained from the webpage."
Now what do I do? The only way I can access this site is thru "www.forthehunt.com." Once their and on the forums when I click "Home" at the top it brings up the message.[:(!][}:)][:(!][xx(][:(][V]0 -
Have the strangest computer problem. This is not one I've ever run into before. Input appreciated...
My wife bought this refurbed HP computer. Works great and fantastic price from tigerdirect. However, every now and then (like maybe once every 2-3 weeks) all of a sudden all of the USB ports go dead. Both the keyboard and mouse are USB, so it basically paralyzes the computer. No amount of switching them around will fix it.
If you reboot the computer it will still be locked up.
However, if you completely power down the computer (i.e. unplug it totally) and leave it off for about 15 minutes, then power it back up everything works fine. It will then work fine for a few more weeks.
Now ordinarily I'd think the computer was just hung, but here's the weird part. If you touch the keyboard the monitor will wake up, but you can't do anything. So, it's definitely seeing something. It looks like Windows is still running, but without a keyboard or mouse it's hard to tell.
It's almost like the motherboard loses the USB buss and then won't recognize it on a reboot, only on a cold, cold, start.
Thoughts?
edit: Windows OS dropping the USB drivers maybe?0 -
