This is really getting on my nerves now. About a month ago I did a complete system restore on my old laptop (viruses, you know) using two discs I bought off of the HP website. After I dumped everything on my computer out, I popped in the Applications and Drivers disc and the desktop didn’t respond. So after 3 more grueling months, I finally got my great uncle to literally configure the disc and dish out what it had onto my computer. He said that he couldn’t get all of it on, but that didn’t mind me (thinking it was probably something I would never use). Gradually, I began to notice how slow and choppy the display was on my computer screen was; turns out that the something was wrong with the display. I looked at the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and this is what the notes said: "The system is using the generic video driver…. Direct3D functionality not available." I’ve tried everything I could think of and no go. I know its probably the card or something like that (I’m not the only one getting this problem), but I have no idea what that is. I went onto ATI/AMD and got so confused- actually everyone I’ve asked has. So I really need help with this. If you’ve come here to be some immature juvenile asking for attention then go away. I really need some help here. I don’t want to restore this thing all over again. Thanks.

I have an HP Omnibook 6100 with Windows 2000 on it which needs a reboot disc (due to virus damage), new LCD display bulb and probably upgrades to the memory and speed. I bought it for 0 from a friend about a year ago and only got about 2 months solid use out of it before it quit on me. Should I pay for the list of things above or just go ahead and buy a new one?
hi, i have two questions and one is
ive had the HP pavillion zv6000 for about 4 years
how much longer do you think my laptop will last if ive only been using it at home and dropped it about 4ish times?
it hasnt had a serious virus or anything
but i just wanted to know how much longer until i would have to buy another one
also
i have this constant pop up from the Security Center Alert about a program/software/virus named win32.zafi.b
and when i click enable protection, it pops up a page where i can download some type of protection
what is it and how can i get rid of it?
thank you 
I caught a virus so I need to start my laptop all over from scratch. I already moved the important files now I just need to figure out how I would go about doing this. I bought my laptop used so no CDs or anything came along with it. So how do I start my computer all over again from scratch? It’s an HP Pavilion with Windows Vista, if that helps or makes a difference.
he also says certain anti-virus (e.g. Norton) will bog down system so they install what works best. they won’t tell you what that is so you can just buy it. also says that there is a bunch of pre-installed software on the HP that you can’t really delete without going in to REGEDIT?? file.
is this a bunch of hooey that I would need to optimize a brand new computer?
thanks in advance.
THERE ARE OTHER HP WHICH POPUP EVERYTIME I DOWNLOAD MY MESSENGER BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS I GOT. I ALREADY SCAN MY PC BUT IT REALLY DOESNT WORK.
I’m looking at a used 17" imac on ebay…here’s the link…

I’m a design student and on a budget. I really like macs and I use them all the time a school. This computer has all of the software I’ll need and it looks like it could be a really great buy. I’m just not sure I want to sacrifice the mobility of a laptop for a desktop. Plus, there is no warranty.
The HP PC I’m looking at is really nice. It’s ,000 and would be able to do what I want it to, but I would have to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite (which won’t be too bad since I can get it for 0 with the student discount). Also, I really don’t want to deal with viruses. My Toshiba got hit this past March and I had to completely wipe the hard drive and re-install xp to even get things up and running again.
Here’s the link to the HP:

What would you do? I’m not sure. Thanks for your input.
2 Laptops seem rather decent to me
and the laptop’s ability to play games (e.g. N64 Emulators and games like Halo and Oblivion) is pretty much the deciding factor between these computers. That and overall function.
The first laptop which I am leaning towards is a
HP Dv5000 LAPTOP(intel 1.7 dual pro, 2g ram, 80g, 256m graphic card)
The guy is asking 0 for this
Is this a good deal?
Its used but in good condition.
Also this guy will apparently install Norton Anti virus for a year
Which I told him sure
Even though I pay for McAfee
Also there is another laptop
which is a
DELL LATITUDE D600 1.6GHZ 1024MB 40GB CDRW/DVD WIFI XP PRO LAPTOP
and 5 is being asked for this one
Which do you think is better?
Which do you think could play games the best?
