drajjay: question : can a pc processor be upgraded? Mine is 1.5Ghz nd would have loved to upgrade.btw why does my pc fail to start charging as soon as its plugged .instead it displays ' plugged in , not charging'

it's better and cheaper to buy a higher spec than upgrading. .
why have you decided to upgrade your cpu ?

what make and model is the laptop ?

Incredible.me:
it dosnt, an i'm sure it has bluetooth because my uncle managed to conect his priter to it before sending it to me.

Firstly check if the driver is installed for the Bluetooth device.

Right-click on MY COMPUTER, and click manage.

In the computer management dialogue box, click on DEVICE MANAGER.

Locate the Bluetooth device and click on the drop-down. If it is installed you will see the name and type of your bluetooth device. If not you will see a yellow error icon.

Now if it's now installed don't worry, just rigth-click on the error icon and click on properties.

A new dialogue box appears, the click on the DRIVER tab. Find and click on UPDATE DRIVER.

NOTE: ensure your PC is on the internet while doing this.

Better still go to your PC manufacturer's website and download the driver.

oabusewa: Bro pls what it is my offence, you refused to respond to my complaint.Pls for GOD sake be of help.

Bros I am so sorry for not responding ASAP, am actually battling a flu.

Ok from my last response:

Turn off your PC, turn it back on and as it's about to start press F8 and choose the SAFE MODE without networking option.

Also I asked you to confirm that your DVD disc is not in the drive. Please confirm these.

You most have changed some settings unknowingly.

Right-click COMPUTER and click on PROPERTIES

On the system properties dialogue box, click on the ADVANCED tab and click on SETTINGS

A new dialogue box "performance options" appears, where you click on VISUAL EFFECTS tab and UNCHECK the option "USE DROP SHADOW FOR ICON LABELS ON THE DESKTOP".

Click apply then ok.

Shikena....that should work!!!!
