It occasionally leaks what looks like black ink from the cord. What causes this? Both my brother and I have this problem with our separate Inspiron laptops.
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks10 years agoA couple of questions about the ukulele and guitar?
I would like to learn either the ukulele or acoustic guitar... I know I would like to learn the guitar eventually, but I am wondering whether it would be easier to start with a soprano uke?
I am a musical person so I am planning on teaching myself, but I haven't played strings before... so I was thinking learning the uke might be a good start so I could progress to the guitar later? Also they are cheaper which is a factor for me at the moment.
So basically my questions are...
- As I am new to strings and would be teaching myself, would it be advisable to learn the ukulele before progressing to acoustic guitar, or just jump straight to guitar?
- And how easy is it to teach yourself either instrument?
Advice on which beginner's guitar to get would also be great, ukulele-wise I was planning on getting this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mahalo-White-Soprano-Ukule... but if the increase in quality is worth it then I may get this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ukulele-Mahalo-Soprano-inc...

2 AnswersRadio1 decade agoHaving problems accessing games on facebook - please help!?
Facebook itself is working fine but every time I try to go to Farmville or other games, it says:
Problem loading page
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
However I have checked that my cookies are enabled. I've had this problem for a few days now but after restarting or repeatedly refreshing I have eventually managed to get on... but now I just can't.
Have also tried using IE but that didn't work either.
Can anybody suggest what I can do to access it?
Thanks :)

2 AnswersMusic & Music Players1 decade agoAdvice on a new laptop? (details inside)?
In September I'll be starting 6th form and I want a new laptop that I can carry round school and use both in class and during prep. I'd like a laptop that comes with Windows Vista - preferably Premium, but Basic would be ok. I want a reliable laptop that will last the two years of sixth form and hopefully for university as well. I would also use the laptop for stuff like iTunes and MSN.
I don't really know what to look for though, so could you please give me some information about the kind of memory, processor etc. I'll need and maybe suggest a suitable laptop? I was looking at a Dell Studio 15 which I think came to around £450, but I was hoping to spend a little less than that - preferably under £400.
If you need more information then I'll edit with details. Thanks for your help :)

2 AnswersYouTube1 decade agoNew Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince trailer!!!! [spoilers very likely]?
On http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/harry-potter-... you can see a new trailer - probably the international teaser trailer. However, it says coming "this year" at the end of the trailer so it was probably created a while ago and for whatever reason WB decided not to release it.... and now it has been leaked. Yay!!
What do you think of it? Which parts do you like/not like? Are any of your favourite book scenes in it? Other comments? Share your thoughts here!
Please star to spread the word!!
9 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoTo all Harry Potter fans... your opinions on this TERRIBLE news please:?
The Half Blood Prince Movie has been pushed back to July 09
http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/8/14/half-blood...
I am so unbelievably mad at Warner Brothers right now. I actually cried when I found out. I am now trembling and I feel sick.....
And before anybody suggests - there is no way that this can be a joke. Anybody who knows the guys at TLC knows they would not joke about something like this.
The thing is - Warner Brothers must have known for ages that it wouldn't be finished on time. They could have warned us before now - before the teaser trailer came out - before all our excitement reached this level. I feel this is a BAD decision on their part, but this is purely my opinion.
Now I would like to know yours. Fans and non-fans, please answer.
How did you react when you found out? How do you feel about WB now? How are you going to cope for the extra months? How well/badly do you think WB have been in releasing this information to the world?
And, perhaps the most worrying question of all:
*whispers*
What about the Twilighters? :S
PS: Please star this question so your contacts will notice it!

9 AnswersMovies1 decade agoProblems with Packard Bell laptop.......?
All this week I have been on my laptop quite a lot and it has been working fine, but today it keeps freezing after 10ish minutes and then either I have to turn it off and then on again or it restarts itself. However, when it restarts itself I think it freezes too because before anything comes up, the screen goes blank so I have to turn it off and on again.
At first the freezing seemed to start whenever I changed to the spanish keyboard (which was working perfectly all throughout this week) but then on the 4th? time it let me use the spanish keyboard for about 5 minutes, before it completely froze again. I left it to rest for about an hour and then I turned it on again but didn't use the spanish keyboard yet it still froze.
Does this mean I have a virus or does my laptop need to be repaired? I started to scan for viruses but of course it restarted itself before any were found. The last virus scan was only 3 days ago and nothing was found, plus I have a firewall.
What can I do?
4 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoProblem downloading/installing Adobe Flashplayer 9....?
I don't know what version of flash I've got at the moment but I know it's not up to date so I downloaded adobe flashplayer 9, I didn't have any other windows open and it came up with the 'Installation Compelete' movie. But somehow it didn't actually install because I have a game that works perfectly with Adobe Flashplayer 9 on the school computers but I can't play it here. I looked in the program files on my computer but no version of the flashplayer was there. I tried downloading it several times and I restarted my computer and internet afterwrads to see if it would help but it didn't. The same thing happened with adobe shockwave player.
Has this happened to anyone else or do you know how I could download flashplayer properly? I really don't understand why it hasn't installed properly when it said it did!
4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoI downloaded a game but it's not working.....?
So everyone at my school is obsessed with Bubble Struggle so I downloaded the offline version from here http://www.bubble-struggle.com/ so that I could save it. I can play the game fine, and then when I get Game Over it takes me to the scoreboard, tells me I've got the high score and then asks me to enter my name. So I do that ok, the box goes as normal, but then my name doesn't come up on the leaderboard. I have waited for about 10 minutes but nothing happened.
I've tried downloading it several times, but it doesn't make any difference. I think I've been using an older version of Adobe Flash... not sure which one though. I then downloaded the new one (9). It has not made any difference.
My laptop runs on Windows Vista Premium but I have also tried the game on the desktop which runs on Windows XP Home.
Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
