I don't need the best sound quality, but I would like to be able to get good 5.1 sound, as my computer is my dvd watching and gaming station. Can the z5300 get true 5.1 sound or is it all upmixed? The price is right (I saw it at amazon...

Got it. It was AVG. Even though I had shut down the "Control Center", the email scanner kept functioning. Apparently this is only an issue with AVG Free 7.0, because I didn't have it before. Thanks!

Great point , many important things are in the My Documents folder. I downloaded the PE builder, and I will get to it as soon as a I get some blank cd-r's. But how do I do a repair install? It says use windows recovery to repair a...

I decided to see what would happen if I just started hitting a bunch of F-keys. I guess it was just entering safe mode, but the next screen read "NTLDR not found ctrl+alt+del to restart" Does anyone know what this...

Thanks for the replies. I know the fans work, because they spin up, and even when I closed the notebook, they stayed on full speed until I shut it down. I asked my sister about it, and she said she used the internet on it for 5 minutes...
