Why does an Alienware M15x battery show that it has charge and lights up on the indicator yet turn off if unplugged even though you have the battery set for on?

It is possible that the charger is plugged into the wall, but slips out of your computer. Also, you may need to replace your battery if that is not the case. After so long most rechargeable batteries start to lose their maximum lifespan.

Can someone help me.my compact presario v3000 are lagging ..it will lag and shutdown by itself.. I've already done the formatting more than 5 times but still have the same problem...any help?

stop formatting you arent helping, the problem is the heatsink grease is worn off your gpu and it is over heating so it is turning off due to temperature protection. high temps also cause lagging in cpus too. just find some heatsink grease not regular grease take the fan off and the cooling fins and clean any old grease left on and reapply a small even amount on the gpu processor and replace parts you should be fine from there.

How do I fix a runtime error on my computer?

What problem resulted in no drive detected except for the floppy drive?

Well not knowing your skill level I'll just give you a few things you can check and if you can't do it then I'm sure you'll be able to find someone. First, make sure that your hard drive is detected in BIOS, if not then change it to auto-detect and it will find your hard drive assuming your hard drive is in good shape. Reboot and if you get the same error then put your XP CD in the CD drive and reboot again. Enter the Recovery Console and fix MBR (Master Boot Record). If none of those work then your options are pretty slim. You probably gonna need a new hard drive. :

No WD40 is not good for your computer. To clean the outside of your computer you should use a damp cloth with warm soap and water. To clean your monitor screen use a lint free cloth with just a little water. To clean the inside of your computer use compressed air to clean out the dust. That's it, anything else may cause irrevocable damage to your computer. Hope this helps.

How do you get rid of tracking cookie 2o7?

Disabling history and cookies in firefox did not work for me. Neither did cookie deletion tools. I have free AVG which managed to block it each time it tried to launch. There is a little pop-up in the lower part of the screen which announced this. I hit the "print screen" key and pasted this into paint. With enough time to read the location I located the file pointed to in the firefox profile folder and deleted (wiped) it with Jetico's BC wipe (free to download and use). Simple deletion to trash may also work as well.

How do you fix a boot error when booting from a USB configured by Sardu?

This was a BIOS settings issue.

In the BIOS of this Asus netbook I found a second setting, which also had to be set with "USB" as 1st boot device.

When I found this setting, the 'Boot Settings' dialog box had the following categories:

"Boot Device Priority".

"Hard Disk Drives":

It was necessary to additionally set "USB" as 1st boot device within the "Hard Disk Drives" category.

In here its default settings were:

"HDD"

"USB".

Is McAfee is enough for a laptop?

McAfee is probably the worst anti-viruse system out there. If all you want to do is browse the internet and check your email then it's fine. But if you actually use a computer like a smart person then i would recommend AVG and SpyBot search and destroy.
