Hey Help Me To Make My Desktop Look Amazing.

How can I permanently stop my extended family from asking me to 'fix' their computers because they are 'running a bit slow'?

Ask them for inconvenient and unpleasant favors as an implicit quid-pro-quo.Examples:Uncle Leo: "Jim any chance you could help fix my computer? That Godzilla Firefox is so slow these days!"Jim: "Sure, Uncle Leo. I'll need your help though -- I was hoping to get my grocery shopping done. Could you pick up these things from the store for me?" Aunt Linda: "Hi Stacy, Sorry to bother you but My computer keeps freezing! Can you help me out?"Stacy: "So good to hear from you Aunt Linda! Absolutely, I can help, but I do need to ask you for a small favor. I *still* haven't gotten a chance to do my taxes, and I know you're great with numbers and accounting! When should I drop the forms off?"Sister In-law Wendy: "Chuck! My computer just stopped working yesterday! Can you come take a look this weekend?"Chuck: "Hi Wendy! This weekend I was actually supposed to do some yardwork to get the Homeowners Association off my back, but since you're a lot better at gardening than I am, I'm sure that if we work together we'll save a bunch of time, and we can drive over to your place afterwards and get your computer all fixed up!"They'll pretty quickly learn the game.

Please help me i messed up BIOS on my Dell Dimension 4100?

Hey i have a Dell Dimension 4100 and with Windows XP and someone was looking up nasty sites on my computer so it went to a screen that said "it had to shut down to protect my computer if this was the first time it happened restart" and i did then i logged onto my account and it froze up and did it again now every time i start my computer it shows the dell sign for about 25 seconds then it says

"Legacy KeyBoard . . . . Detected
Legacy Mouse . . . . Detected
USB Legacy . . . . Enabled

A: Drive Error
Press to Resume"

Then when i press delete it goes to a black screen and says

"Invalid Boot Diskette
Insert BOOT diskette in A:"



Everytime i start my computer it does this. No matter what button i press it does it over and over every time. F8 doesn't do anything neither does F10 or F12. Could you tell me what the BIOS settings are supposed to be because the default settings are wrong.

Please help me out.

P.S. No there is no floppy.

Hey, is windows Defender reliable enough to be the only Anti-virus/spyware protection on my PC? Does it even protect your PC from both?
Or should i run something like AVG with it?
