Question Two Windows-related problems (I think) - please help

Thanks for all of the responses. I *might* have solved both of the problems with the laptop. I had begun uninstalling things that might be slowing the system down, and when I uninstalled Avast! Anti-virus, and rebooted, then everything started to load almost immediately when I double clicked on...

Question Two Windows-related problems (I think) - please help

Please note: These two problems are with a laptop, but I think the hardware is irrelevant, and they are Windows-related, so I am posting in the Windows forum. If I am wrong, then I apologise, and would a moderator please move this to the laptop forum, thank you. I have an old laptop, an Acer...

Question Help with diagnosing a downloading/wireless problem.

It looks like you're both right. I connected up the router to my PC directly using a long enough ether net cable, and the downloads are back up to speed. For now, I will just stick to using the cable. Thanks for all of the advice, both of you.

Question Help with diagnosing a downloading/wireless problem.

Why do PCs produce waste heat?

Considering how we're all supposed to be so aware of global warming, it's always surprised me how no one ever seems to question the fact that PCs kick out so much excess heat, especially since at the moment (when the weather is *very* warm around here) the PCs are making things almost unbearable...

Please help - looking for laptop drivers

I've been passed an old laptop to get running, and I've formatted it and it's working fine, but there is no sound. The laptop is a Hi-Grade 8615 GTK. I've never even heard of "Hi-Grade" before, is it a badge for a better known brand or manufacturer? The OS is Windows XP, SP2 (I didn't want to...
