Run time will vary on individual laptop computers, based on the applications being used (i.e. high graphics, games), the number of times something is saved or retrieved from the hard drive and/or CD Rom drive, the memory of laptop, and chemistry and capacity of the laptop battery.

How can you overclock your laptop graphics card?

I would not bother trying to overclock a laptop graphics card because of the limited ventilation that laptops have. You would risk overheating the laptop and damaging it for a negligible gain in performance.

Some laptops have decent cooling however. Especially if you have the technical skill to apply new thermal paste, you may be able to get some better performance out of it.

You can use a program called MSI afterburner. Its free and pretty cool. Step 1 MONITOR YOUR TEMPERATURES. DO NOT LET THEM EXCEED 80c!!

How do you fix a laptop screen that is dark but you can still see very faintly the home screen?

To state the obvious, make sure the brightness is turned up. This is usually a function key on the keyboard (the icon is probably shaped like a sun). If this doesn't accomplish anything, then the backlight on the LCD may be damaged, or else there could be a problem with the inverter. (I had a very similar problem myself: the screen would appear incredibly dark when I turned it on/woke it up, and then openning and shutting it a bit or jiggling sometimes helped, at least for a while - this is NOT a solution, it's merely a quick fix, and it only works so many times.) The inverter is more likely to be the cause: the backlight is a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) and such last longer than the inverter. You can purchase an inverter or backlight relatively cheaply on the internet - I would recommend checking the related links I've provided, they have more information on the possible problems and fixes, as well as instructions on how to replace the inverter or backlight.

You can lock your screen to prevent annoying kids from moving necessary applications on the desktop.

Just right click your desktop, assuming your computer is fully functional and is not frozen, you can unselect the lock screen/items function. It should show up on the menu that appears, you may need to move the cursor over screen options or arrange items depending on the OS.
