Keep losing connectivity on wireless connection
I recently hooked up a wireless router in my home but I keep losing connectivity and am unable to regain it. It doesn't seem to be a problem with signal, as that still shows up strong. It's more like access to the Internet can't be transmitted past the router to my computer.
When I connect my computer to the router using an Ethernet cable, I do get connectivity. Furthermore, doing this does allow me to regain wireless connectivity. I am using WPA2 security if that might also have something to do with the problem. Does anyone know of any possible solutions? --71.103.86.9 (talk) 02:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Are you running torrents? some routers are unable to cope with the type of traffic they generate and will cut out/lock-up. --Fredrick day (talk) 13:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
This is not likely to be the solution to your problem, but I get occasional interference between my computer wireless link and my AV transmitter which re-broadcasts a TV signal to another room. I think they use similar frequencies. dbfirs 18:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
But interference is very likely for wireless networking. If you can improve your signal with a better location or antenna, or remove the source of interference you will improve the situation. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
What to do with laptop monitor?
I have a monitor that previously belonged to an Acer Aspire 3620 laptop. The laptop itself is toast, but I think the LCD should still be good. Is there a way to connect this monitor to another computer? - RedWordSmith (talk) 05:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
If you are refering to the laptop's built-in monitor, than probably not. Sadly, It is notoriously difficult to repurpose laptop displays for general purpose use. The problem is that circuitry that on a desktop would be part of the monitor, is part of the computer's motherboard. For some panels controllers can be purchased (sorry, I don't have links handy.), but this would probably cost as much as a new monitor. APL (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Alas, and I had such high hopes... thanks anyway.:) - RedWordSmith (talk) 01:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
The one thing it is near certain to be useful for is as a replacement part for another laptop of the same model, or a similar model from the same manufacturer. You might be able to make a few bucks off it on ebay. 84.239.133.86 (talk) 21:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Help with deleting photos
I need help please to delete hundreds of photos on my computer. I have only just recently learned how to burn them on a disc so wanted to free up my computer. All that is happening is that they are copying over and over when I try to delete and now I have hundreds making my computer even slower than ever. If you can help could you tell me step by step as I am not that good at this type of thing. Thanks Norma 妗簉eceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.16.22 (talk) 08:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
In general you highlight the file you wish to delete (click once with mouse), and follow your operating system's deletion process. PCs have a delete key. I am unsure about Macs.
Please follow that for a single file and see what the problem is, then come back here and report success or failure, and, if failure, please give full details of what happened. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
What I do is drag and drop the files to the trash icon in the dock. later, if you are sure that you can delete the files safely, you can right click the trash icon and delete it from there. Kushalt 03:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
