Hello Everyone.... I have a slight problem that maybe someone here has some information to pass my way. I noticed tonight that I have some dirt and one LONE dog hair BEHIND my LCD screen on my Gateway 3255GZ Laptop computer. These are not dead pixels, they are clearly dirt and hair. I think I may have moved it around when I accidentally blew air comp. into the fan. I have googled for some information and nothing is coming up. I called Gateway and they told me that it is not a warranty issue but to take it to an authorized dealer to see if they could clean it for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions or know what a dealer will charge me for this type of cleaning. I have always used a proper LCD screen cleaner, as I am very stubborn about keeping my Laptop in fine form so these spots are bothing me. Any comments or suggestions would be a GREAT help.

Thanks for the info. Should I do something with my ports for torrents I use Azureus mostly, though someone has said I should try Utorrent. It hasnt been better, worse if anything...

Hey All, I am brand new to this site, I am trying to up my speed. I do a lot of file downloading via utorrent. I am getting a speed of around 30-40kb/s (even though I have no idea what that means. I am running XP, with my laptop. It is brand new. So it must be some sort of good speed. Again, I am dumb with these computer things. I am on Sympatico Wireless with Speedstream 6300. Here are the stats I ran. :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 2636 Kbps about 2.6 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 322 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server2) Test Time:: Mon Feb 6 02:07:53 EST 2006 Bottom Line:: 47X faster than 56K 1MB download in 3.18 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 43.97 % faster than the average for host (121.206) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-4H35Q67K0 Is that good? How come I cant get speeds that people talk about in utorrent? Anyone help this poor old loser???? Mike
