How can a get a recovery disk for my Thinkpad T43? It did not come with one and the recovery partition does not seem to work right. And the Lenovo web site doesn't just offer a simple "order it here" option. I just need to order a new XP recovery disk.

Thanks!

I bought a 1990 Lincoln "Town Car" with 50K miles in February. It is in beautiful condition. Now has around 60K miles. But I have now noticed the transmission is slipping during acceleration or sometimes when I have to add power during inclines. Any suggestions on the cause? I have only changed the oil, no transmission oil changed yet. Is there hope less than a couple of thousand bucks??

God created man in his own image. Man acted the way God designed him to act. God made all the rules, it was God's game. So when man uses the brain God gave him to play God's game, God decides it will be more fun to roast the vast majority of his creation forever instead of forgiving them for not understanding the game of which HE created all the rules.

God created Heaven, right? God created the rules of Heaven, "no sin," etc. So why couldn't God just forgive his creation since they acted the way God designed them to act. Why didn't He simply forgive them? Was good too impotent to forgive his creation? What was the point of creating a "hell feeding machine" which is what creation is at this point! Since God made the rules, can't he simply forgive his own creation??

For the past couple of weeks, in this cold weather, I have had steam coming out of my interior vents as the car warmed up. Also I noticed steam from the motor when I stopped. I can't find the steam cause under the hood yet. Could be the heater core. The heat still works, and the steam ends after awhile. But I am wiping interior windows all the time, especially now that the weather has turned REALLY cold, 40s, 30s and below. Summary, I still get heat, the steaming ends after awhile, steam comes from under the hood. Any suggestions??

A friend has a Sony Vaio running Vista, that has a black screen with the mouse cursor and nothing else. The cursor moves with the mouse. Booting up in safe mode is no better. Booting to a DOS prompt works, but if you go from back into Windows, you're back to the same problem.

Viewing the contents of the hard drive under the DOS prompt, everything is still there. Is there a virus which has placed a black screen in front of the GUI, only allowing the cursor to be visible?

I would like some sort of small internet device other than a netbook. The iPod touch would be great for net-surfing but for $229. The iPhone is $99. Couldn't you just get an iPhone for $99, use it for surfing the inet and not activate it as a phone but still use it like an iPod Touch? Would that work? Or...what is another internet device similar to either?

When I receive Twitter messages, my phone beeps with the text sound. Is it possible to turn OFF the audio/sound only for Twitter texts and keep the sound ON for other text messages?

Is it possible to get a 12 month DirecTV or DishNetwork contract instead of 24 months? After the original contract ends, since you already have the equipment can you get a better rate again or is it always the higher price? After the contract ends can you upgrade your equipment by buying it (from BestBuy) and get a lower contract?

And what's the difference? DirecTV or Dish??

Thanks so much!

I moved three houses down the street. Stupid Verizon decided to give me a whole new identity, new DSL phone number, etc. It has taken me 2+ weeks, multiple phone calls, speaking to around 20 people (10 in one day) and two visits from a Verizon tech to even get DSL service going half way. Even then, I had to place a call to India when I couldn't get the wireless router to work with the other computers. The guy in India had me delete everything, cookies, etc. Unfortunately, that also deleted the KEY to my wireless router, a linksys WRT54G

I originally set up the network on another laptop that I don't have here. I don't know where the original disk is So now, I can't log onto the wireless Linksys 'cause I deleted the key!

How do I get the key without the original computer that I used to set up the network and without the originalo disks that came with the router??. .Would it be easier to junk it and just buy a new router? it is only a year old or so.

Thanks!

I have been wearing glasses since the third grade and have always had bad eyes, nearsighted and astigmatism both. I see pretty good with contacts, one eye is -11.5 and one is .8.5. And I have plenty of allergies.

The idea of Lasik sounds good but I still don't know about undergoing surgery since I see pretty well with the contacts. Besides, they continue to improve lasik every year, now there is Crystalens which sounds like it would be even better.

I drive around 28K miles annually, so I need my eyes. Any suggestions regarding the current versions of Lasik or Crystalens?

First, with MySpace, your page is "myspace.com/yourname . With Facebook, I don't know how to make it work that way. (Obama does)

Also, I am not sure how to fill the Facebook page at all. MySpace was much easier. But I am pretty lost on how to make the FaceBook page look like a good page. Is there a simple "how to" for Facebook?

I want to start a second channel on YouTube. Is it possible to add a second channel on an existing account or it is necessary to start a second account??

Thanks!

I have never been there but plan to go look soon. They are a beautiful location. I would love working at a resort there, away from the US Cities where I have always lived and worked. I'm tired of driving 28,000 miles a year and never leaving the city. If you wanted to move to the Turks and Caicos islands to work, where do you live? Are there apartments there or what?

I just bought a beautiful '94 Lincoln Town Car. The owners used to own three Midas Muffler shops, so their mechanics always took great care of that car. I have all the books and records, regular oil changes, etc.

I noticed when it is hot and when I pull away from a traffic light, it blows smoke. I sat in a parking lot and let it idle for a minute then gave it gas and more smoke came out.

Since I am in the car, I can't tell if it is blue or not, but it seems white from what I can tell. But I'm not sure! Any ideas/suggestions/repair-prices?

Why is this true or why is this not true? Can you support your position WITHOUT A CUT AND PASTE of that list that has been posted a dozen times here??

If you combine 152 and 427 bills, that is 579 bills that Obama had a significant part in one year...over ten bills per week. That seems more than a bit unrealistic.

Did or did not Obama actually have a hand in that??

1) Please give your one-size-fits-all, fool-proof ticket to Heaven.

2) Please define Heaven as best you can according to your understanding,

3) On what authority do you claim in answering these questions.

Thanks from all of us seekers.

How can I find WIDE whitewall tires to go on a 1994 Lincoln Town Car? I think they would look kinda cool, or at least...different! <hee hee> I just don't know where to look for them.

I am buying a '94 Lincoln Town Car in EXCELLENT condition from the original owners who owned "Midos Muffler" shops. Their mechanics kept the car in perfect condition, all the books and records, etc. I only paid $2500 for the classic car but I don't want to lose it. I considered LoJack until i read that it cost $800. What else can I use to keep this beautiful car from being stolen?
