    Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my desktop screen, and how to fix it?

    This happens often, sometimes it seems to go away on itself after a restart, other times it won't. I have a dual monitor desktop and have to limit myself to the other screen (which is fine, it's always the other one that breaks). I can't even access any settings on that monitor because i can't even understand or read the writing. Any help would be great, thanks!

  • How can i get out of Sprint's service without having to pay early termination fee?

    So last December i switched over from ATT to Sprint's network because of they're unlimited plan on their data (i currently have the iphone 4S) and what a mistake that was. Their service is terrible, i'm at the point that i can barely do anything while i'm out and about because it's so slow, i have to wait until im connected to a wifi signal. I can't use youtube outside a wifi signal, a 4 minute video will literaly take 20 minutes to watch between the buffering and the playing, even the navigation is slow. I'm not due for my upgrade until next August 2013, but i can't wait that long. I'd rather pay more or get less per plan at another provider. Is there any way to get out of my plan without having to pay the early termination fee? I haven't called them yet about the issues ive been having because i think i'd lose it over the phone. Any help? Thanks!

  • Any statefarm agents that can help with a car insurance question?

    I had my auto insurance with state farm for several years. I used to live in Miami, Fl for pretty much the whole time until this past January that i moved to Orlando. Until now (October 2012) i hadn't changed my address because i was planning on going back but now that i decided to stay in Orlando i ended up changing to another insurance company because my policy was going to be A LOT cheaper. My question is, should i be able to get retroactive pay for the difference in my premium from the more expensive premium that i was paying in Miami and the much lower one from Orlando? I sent my state farm agent my lease contract since the beginning of the year and she said that they weren't going to allow it. Does that sound right? I know it was my responsibility to have my addresses changed but since i didn't and i was paying my premium for one city while living at another. Thanks!

  • Car buying question, regarding credit report?

    Hey guys, I started going around looking to buy a new car. Went to the first dealer the other day and they got a credit report on me. Went to a second dealer today and they wanted to do the same. When they getthe first one, isn't that information in some kind of general website that these dealers access (for a certain amount of time) so I don't have to get my credit checked every single time I go to a dealer? I just don't want for my credit to go down every time they check, or is this the way it is? Thanks!

  • Question on Leasing a home?

    Hey guys, a few months ago i purchased a house in which i currently reside with my parents. The reason for this is that they were having problems paying for our previous house and their credit wasn't good enough to get a new one. I purchased the home, but now i want to move out of the house. I'm planning on going to the bank to try to get a loan to purchase an apartment. However, with this other house under my name i'm in the process of preparing a lease for my parents to sign so the bank sees that there will be someone paying for this property. Would this be the best thing to do in this situation, anything else i could do for the bank to approve another loan under my name with one already active on this other property? And would i have to take this signed lease to the bank to be able to ask for this other loan? Thanks for any info you can provide!

  • Question about a weight gaining supplement.?

    Hey guys, i've had a weight training routine for about 3 months now, i've definitely seen results but i'm definitely not where i would like, or should be, for the amount of work i've put into it. I'm definitely doing the exercises correctly, but my main problem is my eating habits outside the gym. I eat very healthy, and i've been drinking and eating a lot of protein for muscle growth but because of my job, i don't have the time to be eating every 3 to 4 hours as i should be. I recently bought a weight gaining supplement and i'm just wondering how i should go about with this. I want it to help with the muscle building but i definitely do not want to gain fat. Does this normally happen (fat)? SHould i worry about doing more cardio while drinking this? Also, how should i take this in combination to my current protein powder, just drink one and not the other, or change them through out the day?

    Another thing, i have a VERY fast metabolism, which could be another important factor.

    Thank for the answers!

  • Help with abs workout and overall muscle growth?

    Hey guys, i started a workout routine about a month and a half ago. I'm doing a 3 day split, day 1 arms, chest and abs, day 2 back, shoulders and abs, day 3 legs. This is something someone recommended to me. I have about 13 % body fat, and although i've been trying to gain muscle, i'm also trying to lose a little bit more fat to lower this % and get the abs that i want. I've been very careful with what i've been eating and i have noticed that i have gotten leaner, and some muscle growth but my overall weight (in terms of muscle) has not grown as much as i'd like it. Basically my question is should i be eating more? I would like to gain some weight, but NOT fat!

    - How can i eat more and not store more fat?

    - Do muscles need more calories to grow, or is it just protein? (Which i've been eating a lot of, between protein shakes, bars, and protein rich foods)

    - Another thing, i'm doing SOME cardio, but i'm afraid of doing more because i don't want to lose anymore weight, would my abs be able to burn the little bit of fat left on them (lower abs) by strength training alone?

    Thanks guys, sorry for the long question but i'm just not sure what to do.

  • Question about cardio in new weight lifting workout routine.?

    Hey guys, i recent;y started a new workout routine to get a little more fit. I'm not overweight, my BMI is about 15%, which i was told is in the normal range, but to be a bit more lean, i should stride for 8-9%. Now, at the same time i want to build some muscle, so my routine consists of a three day split, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Now my question is how should i fit cardio in this week? Only on my days off, two days a week, or should i go for the weekend too? Yesterday (Friday) i did legs, now my legs are pretty sore right now, but i could go for at least a jog now if i wanted to. Should i even bother, or should i just let them rest and recover the weekend? And by cardio i don't mean anything too stressful, about a half hour, 30 secs run, walk for 1 min and so on. Thanks, guys, any help would be appreciated, still trying to figure this whole thing out.

  • Are there any chances that a graduate school overlooks a pre-req?

    Hey guys, i'm trying to apply to a graduate program now that i finished my undergrad. However, when i finished my undergrad i wasn't thinking that i would ever apply to this program in the future, however, now that i am i'm missing ONE pre-requesite class. I'm trying to avoid having to go back to school to take just that class. I do have a lot of other classes that they "recommend" for their perspectives to take.... again, just missing that pre-req. Have any of you ever heard of a graduate program overlooking one pre-req, for whatever reasons, maybe extra classes or anything?

  • Help with Javascript problem!?

    Hey guys, i have a mac and for the past few days i've been having a problem with javascript and a Yahoo! game page. Whenever the game page loads, there's a problem with the fonts on the page. The font looks "different", as in a different font is on it (not the one's that's supposed to be there). I took the computer to the Apple store and they said that this was an issue with the Java updated software on my computer and not my computer. I just get back home from the store and i notice that that other mac doesn't have the problem, and neither does my pc.

    I currently have a macpro version 10.6.7 with all of its software updated including the latest version of java.

    Does someone have any idea what the problem could be, before i go to the apple store again.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Help with MAC java issue?

    Hey guys, i recently did an update on my mac of the new Java software. The next day i was playing some games on Yahoo! games and some of the fonts on the game screen are all distorted. I read that the new Java update for the ios x 10.6.7 had a lot of issues. I remember i got some error message about some javascript error (don't remember the whole error though). Has anyone out there ran into this, or know about it and its solution?

    P.S. - My Java and Javascript and plug-ins, on my browser are all on. I wish i could post a picture of how these fonts look but i dont think that i can do that here.

  • Laptop wallpaper keeps disappearing!?

    Hey guys, for the past few weeks my laptop's (Asus UL50A Notebook) desktop wallpaper keeps disappearing. I'll put a picture on my background and some time later (a few days) the picture disappears and the the background goes blank with the Asus logo in the back (the original picture it brought when the computer was purchased) and the taskbar at the bottom goes on "auto-hide" mode. Both of these things happen at the same time. Any ideas as to what's happening? Oh and by the way, i've done several scans with my antivirus thinking it could have been some infection but nothing. Thanks!
