Computer Question & help? (Read 2,890 times)

Checked it.
I have Default Style selected. :confused

Have any of you used, or are using Apple Safari on your PC?

Now that Apple is making it available for PC users, I wonder if it is worth the effort, or just another browser to clutter up things.

Firefox had no effect.
Reset Button had just alittle effect. helped with posting pictures.
Still missing background graphics.
I've been backing up everything I want to keep incase its reformat time.
Waiting for anymore suggestions.

Off line video and pictures look good.

Looked for that safety tab and can't locate it.

Thanks Duy.

I would blame the TECH? myself after after my bout with the GEEK SQUAD and the battle to do warranty work on a month old HP that took a crap.......... Send the thing all the way to someplace in Calif to change a burned out power supply - after they charged me 165 to backup and reformat, which they never did.................... If you can't watch them, no telling what happens.....................

Bull: Might try what I suggested. Was able to duplicate the problem you describe and correct it by selecting " no style" and correct it by reselecting "default style" as I described. Make sure you in windows explorer first though.

Took my system back to the shop this morning. Had them put power to it and right off the get-go the side fan started making a ticking sound. The technician pulled the side pannel and a wire bundle was hitting the fan. His comment was, "He should have tied that up after changing the power supply." I then hung around abit and he powered up another computer and we looked at it while I was explaning to him on that screen and then looked at mine to see the difference. With the side pannel off I pointed out all the dust and lint balls and told him I asked that the system be dusted and cleaned when the power supply was changed. I then mentioned that in early 2009 when it was in their shop for a virus or slow operation I requested the same. I pointed out all the dust on the fans and suggested the power supply failed becaused the system was not cleaned then either. I had the workorder copy from 2009 and also the one from last week and told him I specifically told the girl I wanted the unit dusted and cleaned and both work order copies did not have that on them. They are being very nice as they seem to know I'm correct and the paperwork shows it.
Wonder how soon I will get it back? Glad I got my wife a new computer for Christmas. I still have access.

Can't say as I disagree with Duy.

However, if money is an issue, then Microsoft is the only other option.

I own a Toshiba Satellite lap top, running Vista.

I did a lot of research and decided on the Toshiba for a couple reasons.

Most testing outfits showed it to be a good, solid workhorse. It has good memory, and is easy to add memory, big enough hard drive and a good CD/DVD burner.
It is a bit slower than some of the others, and came with a lot of bloatware.
I got one with a 17 inch monitor, with a separate numeric key pad.
It is really a desk top replacement unit.
I got mine at the Randolph BX two years ago.
The new ones come with Widows 7 and other upgrades.

If you are looking for a desk top.

Costco has two HPs with monitors that are well equipped.
One is $1200 and the other is $1000. Both have 1TB hard drive and 25" monitor.

Happy shopping, Gary.

Just don't buy one at Walmart or get a Gateway. They are currently rated as expensive paper weights.

Gary, when it come time to transfer your information to your new system try to keep you old hard drive a cool as possible. I have taken them out of the case and placed them on those freezer bags you can use in coolers along with a desk fan blowing directly on it.

One time the hard drive was really acting up and they had pictures they wanted me to try and retrieve, so I took the hard drive out and placed it in the freezer for a day, then hooked it up to the system like I described above and was able to retrieve their pictures. When the hard drive finally failed it did it big time.

I have an HP I got at Best Buy 2 years ago an it is running fine, Has Vista on it and knock on wood I haven't had any problems with it. I also run a 1 1/2 TB external hard drive to keep my music, pictures, Videos and documents on. This way if the internal hard drive fails I don't have a lot of files to transfer. My wife and I have Lenovo Laptops (IBM) with XP Pro and they run great.
