    How to reformat a Netbook? (Dell Mini 10v)

    Hmm.. not really. just some pictures, school stuff. My main concern is that they somehow get my passwords, and other things i entered online. My parents have gone on paypal and ebay and I don't want their accounts to be stolen if that is even possible. Also, I have made lots of tweaks and lots...

    How to reformat a Netbook? (Dell Mini 10v)

    I was thinking, since i haven't put in credit card numbers on this netbook, could i just right click the C: drive and click format? What does this erase? Will all installed programs still be there? Will someone be able to retrieve passwords, etc. How safe is this? What other way can i wipe my...

    How to reformat a Netbook? (Dell Mini 10v)

    No blue bar. All i see is a circle with dell for about .5 seconds and bottom right corner says f2 setup and f11 or f12 something else. I press all the combinations of ctrl, fn, and f(x) i can, but still nothing happens. D:

    How to reformat a Netbook? (Dell Mini 10v)

    I pressed f8, nothing happened. Neither did pressing any other f(x) button work. It just went straight to the xp loading screen. o.0? I need to ship out my netbook by tuesday afternoon at the latest so I am in desperate need of reformating!

    How to reformat a Netbook? (Dell Mini 10v)

    Lenovo G560 Laptop, good or not?

    It's nice, but don't you think you should find a laptop with a better video card? Intel GMA 4500MHD isn't very good...

    Buying new laptop. Need advice.

    Option one. The 4200 is way better than the GMA 4500m. Also, has faster processor and more RAM. Why go for two? However, I suggest getting a better vid card for $650. Try ebay. They have pretty good deals on laptops. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220694 is a better...

    1920 x 1080 monitors - Any way to fix page size?

    When you change resolution, make sure that you change to one that has a similar aspect ratio to your monitor. This will fix the text/icon/picture stretching.

    Problem with game resolution size

    Make sure you are not running in Windowed mode. If there is a fullscreen mode in the settings, check it. (uncheck window mode)

    Expandable Graphics

    Well, it depends on what the card is. I couldn't find your model, so i am guessing you have an IGP, most likely the HD 3200 or 4200. These cards are near the top of the line for IGPs and you can play most games with an acceptable frame rate, but not without lowering the settings to lowest-medium...

    Nividia GeForce 9400GT 1GB

    It is a midrange card. Also, games like crysis and gta iv are more graphically intense. I suggest a 9800gt or 4850, or any better card.
