How come it takes a few seconds for the key I press on the keyboard to appear on my computer screen? 

by jaimehammond on July 26, 2010

Q: I have a 2006 Compaq that has Windows Vista. Recently the keyboard is not typing correctly. It takes about 10 seconds for a letter to type at a time. I just got internet service and the repairman says it looks like I have a virus or I need a new keyboard. So I went out and bought a new keyboard and it still does the same. The computer also runs very slow. I ran something called a CCleaner. I’m not sure if that was supposed to get rid of the virus or even tell me if I had one. Please help me if you can!!

What is it called when you make the applications running show small above the desktop? 

by afsjak on June 1, 2010

Q: I was online the other day & my hand, with the mouse in it, got bumped. The webpage I was on minimized & went off to the side at a 45 degree angle. I could then see my desktop with the webpage off to the side at an angle. What did I do? I just clicked & dragged it back to the foreground & everything was fine. How can I do this again? I thought it was pretty cool. I use Vista, if that helps.

Can I install WIndows 7 on my Sony Vaio that has Vista? 

by kornfedinla on May 27, 2010

Q: I’m running Vista on a Sony Vaio. I shut it down improperly and received the dreaded “0xc000014c: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.”

I have tried to reboot it using EVERY instruction they give but all roads lead to the same error screen. I don’t have the installation disc as it was already installed when I purchased it. Since the beginning, Vista has been one giant pain in the ass. I want to install Windows 7. My question is, Do I need to get the installation disc, reinstall Vista using the “repair my computer “option or can I go ahead and install Windows 7 and select the same option?
