I have a HDMI slot on the side of my laptop, what is it for?

I have a problem with something which I have no clue how to fix. Recently my computer has been lagging or jumping or whatever its called. Well anyways when I play music or a video or do anything in that general area, it will lag every 2-3 minutes or so. I have a realtivily new computer (not even a year old) and this problem has occured only recently which means I have not had this problem before. I have tried refreshing my computer and doing everything I possibly can yet it still occurs. Please help.

Under DOS, I am able to access partition "C" but not the other partitions. How does one access the partitions (not the drives) other than "C" ?

I have a friend who bought a used laptop computer by the name of "Notebook"-yes I`m serious, thar`s the name. She does not have a good battery in it and on the battery compartment it says NIMH Battery Pack, Model #1002, DC 12V 3800 mAH. Where could she find a battery like that and what would it cost?

Hi Everybody, My "Temporary" Internet Folder contains 24 objects which can not be deleted. It contains 22 GIF graphics files and a JPEG and HTM file.

Hi, Is it possible to run a bat file as a service? I created a service with the SRVANY and INSTSRV tools. I then created a bat file to check for the existence of a file in a certain folder and if it existed then delete that file. I then specified the path to the bat file in the new service's binpath. However when the service runs it doesn't delete the file. I can see the command prompt open up and close. When I directly run the bat file it deletes the file. But when the service runs it doesn't delete the file. I researched but couldn't find any specific answer. Thanks in advance Dan

A user upgraded his machine to Vista when the machine really was not robust enough to handle it. I am trying to re-install XP by booting off of the CD that came with his hardware (Compaq). I can't get it to boot from that CD. I'm not concerned about losing any of the user's files or installed programs, just want to get him back to a clean base system. Any ideas from anyone out there?

When trying to access Add/Remove Windows Components the Wizard loads, but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. It just loads, runs through the routine of making changes (which I have not had to opportunity to make) and completes the routine only giving me the option to click "Finish". Is there a Sysoc.inf tweak that I can make to get it to behave properly? Thanks much. -- I don''t want to know what I don''t want to know, but I don''t know what I don''t want to know.

Hi, Does anyone know how to change the information displayed in the infotip that appears when hovering over a file. I want to change the information displayed for jpeg files. It used to display the 'title' and 'comment' information but the 'comment' has disappeared. Many thanks.
