It wasn't turned on for quite a long time. I decided to turn it on recently and it's completely locked up. The "motor" runs quitely but the only icon on the screen is the little box with the face in it, which alternates with a question mark. How do I get beyond that? Thanks!
1 AnswerDesktops8 years agoWhen I'm typing, the letters appear very slowly. What's causing this?
I can be typing and have almost completed the sentence before it all shows up. Sometimes the cursor even stops until the whole thing catches up. It's like it freezes up. Is it a keyboard or mouse problem? Or spyware? Or not enough RAM? It happened while typing an email this morning and is very frustrating when I'm in a time crunch!

2 AnswersOther - Yahoo Messenger9 years agoIs there a way to get a high energy washing machine to put more water in the tub when it fills?
I know they are made to use less water than the older models of washers, but even on the setting for the "extra heavy" load, there's hardly enough water to get the clothes wet. Is anybody else frustrated by this? BTW, we have excellent water pressure and supply throughout the house in all areas.

1 AnswerOther - General Health Care9 years agoHow do I get my DVD/CD- Rom to work again?
When I load a CD in the driver I get a message "No DVD/CD-Rom drive found". The drive shows up in the "Device Manager" but there's a minus sign in the box. I can get a plus sign to come up but when I close the window, it goes back to the minus sign. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, but that didn't work. I recently had more RAM added and the drive hasn't worked since.
