I was recently given a brand new dell laptop, because I am moving out and going to a University, so I needed my own computer. The computer I have at home is slow and filled with spyware, mostly due to my little sister and all the crap she downloads. I want to take really good care of my new laptop, so does anyone have any advice? What should I avoid (such as, kinds of sites)? What programs (free or inexpensive) should I use to protect the laptop? How can I maintain its speed? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

As dumb as it sonds, I bought an IPod and downloaded about 190+ songs on ITunes to my old laptop that does not have a cd burner. Does anyone know how I can get the songs to my new laptop (I purchased after I bought my IPod)? I tired connecting my IPod to my new computer and it did’t work. Since the laptop is old I fear I cannot download anymore songs to it. Have I lost those songs forever? Thanks in advanced!

I’m going away for my sophmore year in college in the fall and I’m planning on buying a laptop.

Here’s what I want/need it for:

-HAS TO BE windows based
-writing papers and doing school work
-downloading and playing music
-possibly playing movies (not required)-
-surfing the internet
-using instant messaging services
-checking e-mail
-all the very basic computer use stuff.

I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend, I’m hoping nothing more than $800/$900 at the VERY most. (hopefully under that much)

Any suggestions?

I will be taking a long flight very soon and I intend to use my laptop to play music for the longest portion of time I can. Other than turning all settings to the lowest possible to run music, and having the laptop shut, how can I squeeze the laptop for a maximum 9 hours? It would be opened once, started to play and shut/forgotten.
Another item of note is that the laptop in question runs Vista and I am fairly confident in it’s power management utilities.

Just got a new HP Laptop, brand new, with windows Vista. The first time I used the whole battery, the battery died, and the machine just shut off and lost all of my data. My old laptop would hibernate when the battery died (saving all my data). How do I change this setting? Is there something wrong with my laptop?
Any help would be, really, really appreciated!
I already look in Power Options, the only ones that are there are for closing the lid, and for setting when it sleeps.
This must be specific to Vista.

I have harvested an old laptop screen from an old dell lattitude cpi and would like to make it into an additional display to my existing laptop. My issue lies in connecting the two, as there are different hookups. Any help is greatly appreciated.
