What are two advantages of setting an LCD monitor on native resolution?

The main advantage is that you won't lose image quality. If you use a different resolution, the monitor has to convert it to the native resolution. That isn't too bad if the aspect ratio is the same and the selected resolution can be evenly converted. But if it is not, the image will be distorted. If you display at less than the native resolution, the monitor will have to choose to either convert to its native resolution, and distort the image and lose quality in places, or it just won't fill the screen and you end up with a small image that won't fill the screen.

So the advantages are that you will get to keep your aspect ratio, the image properly fills the screen, and you avoid having a distorted image that loses pixels in places.

What is wrong with a laptop when it don't come on and the battery is charging?

Your hard drive may have been corrupted. I would suggest calling your local computer repair service (Best Buy, private company, etc.). Not booting up either means that, or that you need to reinstall your operating system. To do that, insert the disc into the computer and boot up. Follow the onscreen directions. If that does not work, see above.

Can keeping your laptop on including sleep mode affect it's overall performance can not turning it off for long periods of time damage it?

I would say just heat could damage it/speed wear, the motors and bearings in your hard drive and your fans being the most obvious. The monitor will fail sooner too. It's almost a roll of the dice because these things fail for no apparent reason sometimes, but why push your luck by leaving it on when it's not needed. As far as performance goes; whatever is in memory can degrade over time from errors here and there. It's hard to say what fails and why, but if if I leave a PC on for days I usually have some weird problem, usually slower speed and sometimes complete lock-up. They always work fine after a quick reboot to refresh the memory with accurate data. Nothing good can happen from leaving it on, it'll either be ok after x time frame, or something negative happens, but it will never get better by leaving it run. There's also the power you're wasting. So I guess the bottom line is; wear on parts, memory errors, wasted electricity. Yet nothing positive comes from it.

Woc85a29dll can not be found when you start up your computer?

Does your computer start despite the missing dll? If so you can use a reputable registry repair tool to attempt to fix the problem. You might also want to boot your PC in safe mode or run any recovery console (watch for options as your PC boots). If those do not work try using a recovery disc (if you have one) and rolling back to your last stable restore point. If you manage to get it all back on track, be sure to take this opportunity to back your data if you haven't done so.

Why does your iMac keep turning the volume up to maximum automatically and when you turn it down it goes back up again and again?

I've had this problem for awhile now and can't find any solutions to it on the internetanywhere. Basically what happens is I'll turn music on and i'll set the volume to what I want and the volume immediately descends all the way down till I can't hear it anymore. Then when i try to turn it up it blasts all the way up to where it should be and then it turns all the way down again. This is VERY annoying and almost makes listening to anything at a decent volume impossible because it always goes down to nothing. I have the Creative Audigy 2 Soundblaster 6.1 Speakers and the Audio Card that goes with that. I've uninstalled, re-installed, updated drivers. I actually found a thread that sounded like the problem I was having and they said to delete the Creative volume control that comes with the card and speakers, well i did that and still no joy. I'd appreciate any feedback as to if you are having the same problems or some extremely sought after solutions. Thnks

Why do hard drives slow the computer as they fill up?

There are several reasons for this.

1. Fragmentation - As you keep using a computer with a mechanical drive, the drive gets fragmented. The more things are deleted, the more gaps there are between files, and the more the files get split up. So if a file is split, the hard drive heads must travel to the different places to read the entire file. So that slows performance if this happens to many files.

2. The hard drive geometry - In modern mechanical drives, there are more sectors in the outer cylinders than the inner ones, and the cylinders are grouped into zones. So the outer zones will be faster than the inner ones, since the heads don't have to move as much. So if your most used files are in the outer zones, the computer will "feel" faster. After a while, the inner zones are all that are left.

3. SSD drive filling - A fresh SSD drive works faster than a used one. That is because of how flash RAM works. To reuse SSD blocks, those blocks have to be formatted, and it takes more time to write to one that needs formatted than it does to fresh ones. That is why the drive must be TRIMmed from time to time. That way, the unused blocks that need formatted get formatted so future writes will be faster. However, this might not be an issue in the future since Intel has invented a new type of memory to use with SSD drives that don't need to be formatted after every use.

Why do not Acer aspire 5920 laptop shutdown properly It closed all open programs but not turn off system.?

If you are running Windows Vista or Vista SP1, it's because of some logout/shutdown/sleep bugs that are still present in that operating system. If the computer won't turn off after waiting for a while, do a hard shutdown (i.e. hold the power button for a few seconds until the computer turns off). In general this won't have a negative result for your computer, but it would be helpful if Microsoft could get the bugs out of Windows Vista sleep/hibernation/logout.

What is going on when the computer hangs about 15-20 minutes of operation?

Anytime a computer hangs while a program is running it could be a couple of reasons. The main reason is just plain bad code writing by the programmer who wrote the program so it tries to do things it's not suppose to do. If you can fine the Manufactor's website they may have a fix for it. Second, sometimes too many applications are fighting for memory and they corrupt the memory module. The best thing to do is hit CTR-ALT-DEL to end the program and start over.

Another common cause is the over heating of the CPU, It is a good idea to check that the cooling fan is fully operational.

What is that buzzing sund that comes from the black box in a laptop power cord?

The buzzing is probably the capacitors and other components transforming the electric current coming from the wall to a volt, watt, amp, ect...that your laptop can use best. If it weren't for the transformer box on the cable, we'd only need a long piece of wire to run our laptops. But computer companies have designed their laptops to use different ampherage voltage, and wattage as compared to your standard electrical current for battery and charging efficiency, as well as a small way to add more money onto the price tag. It's not a big problem, its just your cable doing its job
