I have used the search function and came up with nada. I have been looking to copy the my administrator account settings to a limited user account as a way to improve security. However, I have spent a long time configuring everything. Is there an easy way to copy everything - windows settings...

I just gave spyware doctor (free 3.2 version) a spin on a freshly installed copy of Windows XP. It came up with 6 results of Trojan.StartPage.GEN. However, it looks like it is being very over zealous as a quick google result shows - Site 1 - Site 2 - Site 3. This I'm assuming has been...

Mark Rein vice president of Epic recently criticized Intel integarted graphics. I don't think anyone would disagree... However, let's try and look on the bright side... what games (classic/oldies etc) could you play on it? This is especially for those stuck on laptops ...or soon to be

The other thing that's more tempting about the Dell is the larger desktop area it provides with the higher resolution ...which could be very useful for photography stuff. Does anyone know anything more about the screen specifically eg viewing angles in comparison etc? One thing I've picked up...

Ah! You're right it is the 950 they use - Thanks. Hmm, even though I'm not planning to migrate to Vista that does make it a bit better. I'd be leaning towards the Fujitsu with its quality and looks but thinking about the dual-core and better battery life of the Dell I'm not so sure... also...

I guess everyone's own experiences will vary and vary according to model. I'm sure most experiences are good. However, I think it'd be wrong to disregard significant negative comments or statistically higher repair rates. That said reviews of the DV1000 were good while the 1500 and 1600...

I found a rather good review of desktop/notebook reliabilityon various manufacturers at PCmag that's worth a look. I think I'll go with the Fujitsu.

Also an addition I would make is using the 'No Script' plug-in for Firefox. Basically you can easily control when, what pages or what particular scripts on a page you are willing to allow. Its a great tool. Together with a limited account it should make picking up anything while browsing very...

Thanks for the link. I've tried to look into some of them. What seems to be the case: The Dell D620 is something I looked into before nicer than the 640m (bit smaller etc) but it's also another £200 or so - not really viable. The Lenovo 3000 N100 suffers from poor battery life. It's also...

Unfortunately, I'm not much of a fan of the styling/feel of the Thinkpad series. Also options seem limited regards prices/battery life. Options seem pretty few on 14" laptops. The best options I've found so far is the Fujitsu Amilo M6450G vs the Dell 640M. Positives of Fujitsu: Great...

Sorry I should have said. It'll be for general use - broadly that's office apps, encoding and some photo manipulation. While I'm not too interested in games if I can play some older ones that'd be a bonus. Recently I was looking at the Acer Aspire 5622WLMI which I liked the look off before...

Sorry for this typical thread but I need help with choosing a laptop. I'm looking for a laptop for potential travel and so needs to be very portable. 14" seems to be the perfect size but options seem more limited. Order of priority is: Size - eg. 14" widescreen for portability...

I also think there needs to be some more real world testing at high graphical settings - as others have said the firingsquad results are interesting. However, (as I understand it) if that's just due to being GPU limited as opposed to anything relating to FSB, then Conroe is an excellent and...

I love mine personally. I originally got it for the advantageous multimedia aspects but its made a very good work PC. I often run two windows of office next to eachother which helps speed things up no end when you've got an enormous amount of informaton and need to keep referring to it. As...

Unknown quantity - and knowing DFI they'll be compatability issues. There already seems to be one with the DFI RS482 and the Enermax Liberty (modular PSUs in general perhaps) with random rebooting - no BSODs - just rebooting. While not everyone is suffering from this a good amount are - check...
