Q: How come the desktop icons are very faint on my Dell XPS Laptop w/ MS XP Pro? They are so faint that I need a flashlight and a dark room to navigate! Scanned and cleaned with Vipre; no light on power button but will power up, cap & num locks lights up; cannot auto boot to OS disk or after F12 entry to boot to CD – it just goes to Windows then the faint desktop icons that I can barely see. I’ve checked the device manager – what else?

Sometimes upgrading your computer is not worth it 

by Pamela on July 19, 2009

Q: I have two desktops (Compaq Presario SR1410NX and Compaq Presario SR1050N) that I could choose from to upgrade and I am wondering which one I should upgrade.

A: There comes a point in every computers life where the cost of upgrades wont get you the performance you could get if you spent the same money on a new computer. In the case of these two computers it would be a better idea to spend the money you would have spent on the upgrades on a new machine and you will easily get 5 to 10 times the performance out of the new machine than you would out of the upgrades.

Is it possible to write a program that would change a users background? 

by evanmixon on June 18, 2009

Q: I am just starting to get really into programming for mac and windows.

I was wondering if there is anyway I can make a program that people can download that changes their backgrounds when I push out a new one? Not just random wallpapers changing like the current ones out there do.

Is there a way I can personally change the back ground myself and it take affect to all people using the software?
