    After move, mobo won't light up. PSU jump starts fine without mobo.

    I recently moved, and had my computer sitting untouched for a 11 days. I went to plug it in, and absolutely nothing happens. The power button doesn't work, it doesn't automatically start up when power is present (as the bios are set), the pilot light on the mobo won't even turn on. I can...

    How can I turn my laptop's Fn key into a windows key?

    I know that an external would work, but I will not be using one. I did after originally posting this find that there is a windows key, but it is in the top right (a bad spot for quick shortcuts). I'd like to switch it with Fn if at all possible still.

    Resize desktop icons grid? Possible?

    I just got a new laptop, and it was configured to use large desktop icons. When I returned the icons to normal size, the large spacing remained. Do you know how to get it to normal, small spacing? I'll fill up my desktop rediculously fast like this! Thanks!
