chickss: I installed some programs successfully but cannot find them under the program list. I have even done a search for theses programs but I cannot find them. These very programs are visible under the uninstall menu in the control panel. try this --- start --- computer --- your hard drive (what ever the name it has) ---- programs --- then you should able to see the program you want and start it from there and also put the short cut to start the program on desktop this is based on windows 7 what OS do you have |

v3: I'm quite sure you've formatted the laptop or you bought it fairly-used. What was the original O.S that shipped with it? 
Long story short; Your O.S or Operating System is NOT legit. that got nothing to do with the problem of which what is happening is not a problem like you said the the OS is not legit i.e LICENCE KEY USED IS A FAKE ONE solution buy a genuine windows 7 and get refund if you paid |

some few weeks ago i spilt a little drink on my laptop, i very quickly turned it upside down, gave it a quick wipe and voila, all seems fine
but i noticed whenever i press the Down button (the down Arrow) the page goes straigh to the bottom, instead of scrolling down gradually what could be the problem, have i pressed too hard on the buttons while cleaning it or something is 'touching' just buy another keyboard |

check common problem of ECU against your car model http://www.ecutesting.com/ECU/ecu.htmlyou will see that most problem are direct link to the ECU its self but the ECU is just reporting FAULT found in sensors connected to it see were it says COMMON ECU FAULTS --- click on AUDI you will find most common faults picked and show by the ECU but not saying the ECU its fault |

sammhi: @ZIM DRILL , please i have a problem with my 2007 honda accord. The ECU went dead and was changed by my mechanic. The new problem now is that the car batery runs down after 5-6 hours of being parked. i want to believe it is the new ECU . The mechanic has not been able to trace the fault to any known part. but i have a hunch it is the ECU . what do you think? and are u in nigeria so i could contact you for possible solution? thanks sorry bro am not in nigeria i have seen many problems of ECUs here and i wonder what happens in nigeria here in UK its rare for ECU to go dead, only that dealership rip people off when they lose key they charge £500 and above to change engine ECU and anti theft one as for your problem something is left running or still get live feed from the battery even with the ignition off tell what really happened to your ECU it cant just die unless there was a short wiring ONE KEY THING a mechanic and auto electrician are different people both work with cars but a mechanic does mechanical while auto electrician does the electric though most some african mechanics cover both which is not good if he was not trained to be an auto electrician he can damage electrics and are expensive to find problems and repair compared to mechanical problems |

we we: My neighbour had similar issue with his chysler neon (or na Dodge neon) a car to behold. The car brain box was bad and he was unable to get the brain box after like 9 months of extensive search in Abuja, Kaduna and Lagos. He used different chysler neon brain box all to no avail, its either it wont supply power or it wont start the car. He had to send the brain box to united state. I even posted the issue on this site (nairaland) when i saw one brain box specialist dealer. As at that time, the brain box had lost in transit so i couldnt provide the serial number. The car was grounded for more than a year before he eventually sold the car as scrap to Apo (Abuja spare part market) spare part dealer at a ridiculous and annoying price. after spending so much money on it. Trust naija mechanics, they even told him they could replace the engine with Toyota engine and tberefore use toyota brain box
Best thing to do is to first check for availability of a car spare parts before buying it i can conclude that he met backyard autoelectricians if the ECU aka brainbox was dead all he need was and ECU thats doesnt require the communication with key cars now days have keys thats talk to the ECU on the ignition barrel there is a ring of wire thats reads a code or frequence in key once they match that will let current to fuel pump if they dont match the car will just crunk so there were supposed to get an ECU that is code free |

sameolg616: zim,u eva said dv6000series wasnt designed for windows 7, if dis guy is sure its not a hardware problem then i can conveniently sit windows 7 on d laptop even using d simpliest method, load xp professional or vista and load all d drivers then proceed to do an UPGRADE to windows 7, it wld automatically integrate the old drivers into windows 7. difficult way:d clean installation-d drivers are surely not open on d hp driver website but there are certain win7 drivers(ATI high def audio drivers) dat are very compactible , depending on d archietecture of the laptop, for novices,try method 1 the reason i said it was not designed for windows 7 is that from the manufacturer web site WINDOWS 7 is not listed hence the problem why try to force it when you know that the pc wont give you the best out of windows 7 becoz the pc is meant for VISTA and below |

the question is WHY DID GOD CREATE HUMANS
from the way i see it we are his pets aka toys just like my daughters hampster
GOD is said to be creator of everything and can destroy if he wants to but he watches the devil takes over the souls of his creation
and also burns his creation for not worshiping him WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE TO HIM only watching us from the so called heaven while nature kills us eg hurricanes volcanos etc
whats there for him to gain if i go either way HEAVEN or HELL both way he watches us, does he enjoy the suffering of people who go to hell and also just watching those who go to heaven roam around in so called paradise ?
finally who compiled the bible with all its verses |
