  • How do I get over someone? Not a lot of options.?

    It's so odd. I'd never thought i'd come back here for love advice. But here I am in a pickle. So basically I met this girl online a while back and we hit it off right away, being a bit younger back then we didn't realize that ever actually meeting each other would be a lot tougher than it sounded. We live thousands of miles apart. I know that I love her. She loves me too. There have been a lot of times when we agreed we were gonna move on cause of the whole distance thing. But I just can't seem to get over her and and she can't do the same about me.

    We both do not have the resources to see each at this time. In fact we won't for some time. I need to know what is the only way out. I believe that meeting someone new (here) is gonna help a lot.

    Thanks for reading.

  • Pushing Laptop past RAM maximum?

    Ok so here's my deal, My laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-NR140E.....I'd say manufactured around late 2008........it runs off dual channel memory......it came with 1GB of RAM, so 2 X 512 MB modules....the maximum supported memory is 2GB...2 X 1GB modules........

    reviews of this laptop suggested that it could actually take 4GB.....So I bought one of these....

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

    It worked.......So I wanted to go a little further....I bought another one of those later on to bump it up to 8GB.........

    but it's not working for some reason.......the computer turns on but the HDD will not boot at all....

    why does over maxing RAM prevent your PC from turning on?

  • computer is out of RAM?

    hello im having trouble with my Dell....im trying to install Mcafee Total Protection but the problem is I keep getting an error message saying "there not enough sufficient memory to install this program"...

    I understand that....my RAM size is small because the computer is old.....it only has 128 MB's of RAM on it.....what I don't understand is why the computer is only telling me this now if I just had Norton 360 on there?!? a whopping 512 MB's of freaking RAM!!! plus I just installed Firefox and Office 2010 without incident.....

    this is ridiculous, all those programs are no problem for 128 MB's...but not for Mcafee?!?!

  • why is my HDD like this?

    ok ....my computer was infected with a horrible virus that my Norton couldnt even touch...everytime I scanned this thing would shut the whole computer during the scan.....it shut down all my firewalls....and gave me a Blue Screen of Death........when I restarted my computer computer everything would seem normal....but my HDD would start making this weird noise like it was stalling....then it would freeze and of course the blue screen would come up.....

    I sent my computer in to get repaired...and when it came back everything was clean....but for some reason it was still stalling.....like there no blue screens or nothing but it would stop for 10 seconds and then start again......I decided to install Windows 7 but as an upgrade....which was a terrible idea....upgrade is just basically pasting the Windows 7 shell over Windows Vista...everything Vista is still there.....

    ok so back the to the issue.....My HDD was still stalling....even after the freaking upgrade....so someone told me I should Format my HDD and do a clean Windows 7 install.....So I did.....

    Here I am today......piece of s*it is stalling!!!!!!....

    did this thing physically damage my Hard drive?!?!.....

  • need help with laptop restoration....plz...?

    ok....I recently restored my Vaio's HDD using the hidden partition in the boot menu....after i hit restore the drive was wiped and it began to reinstall Vista and pre-software (which is NOT what i wanted, I DIDNT want to restore as a recovery,I wanted it back to factory settings like clean)

    So during installation I restarted an went back to the boot menu to find the partition again...but this time the partition was gone and all I could find was this "Noexecute"......

    it seemed the reset had no effect on the installation though, I can get to my login screen and boot into safemode...but I cant get full access onto the computer...the login screen displays these 2 accounts "Admin" and "other user".....

    if I try to log on "Admin" it says "your account has been disabled, see you system administrator"

    if I try to log on "other user" its locked by a password which I dont know...

  • is my hard drive permanently damaged? (10 pts to best answer)?

    ok so a couple weeks ago I sent my computer in to be restored because a program installed a horrible virus on it, it was so bad that my viral scanner missed it and actually got disabled by this thing.....at that point it even infected safe mode.....so whenever I tried to run my computer it would work for like 10 seconds and then the hard drive would make a noise it was almost stalling, then the computer brought me to a blue screen of death....ok so thinking the problem could be fixed by restoration I took my comp in for servicing and when it got back everything seemed fine and the virus is gone now...but every now and then the Hard Drive freezes and stalls but since the virus is gone no more blue screen....the drive simply starts up again....

    so my question is....did the virus cause so much damage that it ruined my Hard Drive beyond repair?
