I can understand tis situation drives you crazy. Unfortunately i'm not an expert, but willing to give it a shot so you can proceed again with the laptop. Wild guesses: are you able and if yes did you try to connect an external screen to your laptop in order to see if it is the laptop screen or...

Looks like a problem i know of since windows 98. Your laptop go's in sleep modus and simply won't wake up any more. Try to be sure you have your power cord plugged in (and so you battery has enough power to push your hardware out of hybernate) and try to experiment with other power saving...

It probably has something to do with your codecs (or to be more precise; the fact you do not have those) Original DVD movies use MPEG2 decoder. You should either try to get and install this decoder or use a different player what allready has the codec like WinDVD or whatever.

To show 'POST' and to change the boot order has to be set in the BIOS itself. Removing the battery will most likaly only result in a reset of date and time, but for sure not anything in the BIOS settings. Since there are so many brands and versions of BIOS it's impossible to guide you straight...

It's a wild guess but please have a try at this: (also please be advised my translation from Dutch towards english could be a problem) Goto start en RIGHTclick on the My Computer icon, revealing a window with some choices. There should be an option like "manage"or something (beheren in Dutch)...

Please try to rename your update folder. To do so open notepad and typ in: net stop wuauserv cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution ren Download Download.old net start wuauserv Save this file on the desktop as:Rename.bat (be sure you enabled ALL FILE types) Run the file on the corrupted OS...

In general: all hardware you want to link with your own home wifi uses the same password. So you probably make a typo. CapsLock is on?

This will be hilarious. Trying to answer in my best (ahum) english to your question in your best english. First of all, the content of the folders are probably hidden. So first thing to do is make them vissible. To do so go to (and now i'm translating from a Dutch version to an English, so the...

Do what you like. Not much you could do wrong there. I would however, in your case, as said inbetween the lines before, not use the pre-build administrator account. If this account will corrupt on what ever reason you have nothing to fall back on. I would always prefer to make my own...

Assuming you use: A self made account with administration rights (and not the hidden pre-build admin account) and.. You use a password on that account and.. have set: use Ctrl+Alt+del to login on the advanced tab of your user account properties menu it should work. If it does not i only can...

Since you do not mention when you have a BSOD (on startup or during a session) i'll give you 2 possible solutions you would maybe like to try; first in case of a BSOD during a session (and you are able to login still) Goto Start->My Computer->right click properties-> System security (or...

The best i can say here is that i share your concerns. First of all, you are correct that whatever brand of PC you order you will get pre-installed software. Also in the case of Acer this will be true. It is your choice however to decide if removing this unwanted software is faster and more easy...

My humble guess is you would need an image, not a back up. While a back up will save maps and folders to a certain location for... back-up use, an image will make a screenshot, a blueprint of your current system in total. This kind of software is also used for easy installing in company's and...

Have you tried all the tricks listed here: " Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode"

Re: Windows update failed eror 2 - KB 2416472 Since you do not fully explain where on what point the update fails to work i'll have a short guess here: Recently Win 7 did have some updates. Net4 was 1 of them. Probably you have your settings for these updates set to "automatic" and so...
