windows xp


I recently got a Laptop from my parents friend who gave it away, but I just found out that the Windows xp that is on it, was a pirated copy. Therefore I cannot update my computer and I cannot even hear any audio anymore, My Laptop didn’t come with any cds or instructions. So is there any way to reinstal another form of windows that is legal? Thanks.

I go to a school that allows (and encourages) use of Laptops. Up until now, I haven’t used one but next year I definitely will want to. Does anybody have any ideas about how I can carry my Laptop along with traditional folders/pencils (for math class). I have a north face Hotshot right now, and I don’t want to get rid of it, but I also don’t want to put my Laptop in there because it will get too heavy. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you.




How can I fix my laptop sound card/audio so it works without having to apply pressure to the laptop?

I’m having some trouble with audio on my HP Pavilion zv5255us Laptop.

The sound card/audio does work so I know it’s not a problem with the drivers, but I can only get sound when I apply pressure to the Laptop, usually near the headphone jack. This happens when trying to listen through the speakers and through headphones. I’ve recently bought a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo to help the situation and it does work perfectly with headphones but I don’t think there’s a way to have it work through my Laptop speakers. As I travel a lot I don’t want to have to buy external speakers to listen to audio without headphones but I am willing to do this if necessary. I should also note that I will by buying a new Laptop in about a year so I don’t want to make any costly repairs/upgrades on this Laptop.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I am currently looking for a good Laptop to take with me to college next year. I looked at some Dell Laptops and like what I see except for the poor battery life that many people complain about. Does any Laptop brand have this problem or is it just Dell?

I will be utilizing the Laptop primarily for browsing the web, chatting, etc.
I will also be playing MS Flight Sim.

What are the recommended minimum specifications, in terms of:
1. Memory
2. hard drive
3. Screen Size

However, weight and battery life would be the deciding factors.

Is it true that HP makes the best Laptops? How are the HP Mini Series and Pavilion DV2?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks
