Your USB Device is not recognized. AND WHY? Because one of the little clasp things in the USB hole is broken. Now I can't upload any more pics. :(. Which also probably means my computer is screwed, and we're going to have to get another one. The space key is already broken anyways..so...UGH.
There *should* be another USB port on the side of your computer. Have you checked yet?
You can easily buy a new USB port & a new keyboard.
YUP. There's not. My computer is weird. It doesn't even have a port to plug in a printer or regular keyboard (It's a laptop) I think it has defects or something.Quote:

I think there is also this attachement that you can buy that allows you to plug in multiple things into one USB port. As for the space key, you can buy a new keyboard that attaches to the laptop. My teacher has one and it is like she has two keyboards. Well anyway, I hope you can fix your computer.
As I said my computer only has one USB port, and it doesnt have a place for a mouse or a printer or anything. It probably has defects or something. I'd rather have a new computer anyways :p.Quote:

Exactly. This computer has been freezing alot, and it's gotten SO slow. It used to be so great, and I ran virus and adware scans, but it's still dying. My Windows Media Player is messed up, too :(. So it IS time for a new computer.Quote:

What do you mean from shows? :confused:Quote:

Either way, make sure you know how to care for it! :)
Ahhhh, lol. (Stupid at brain :p)
Well, we rent our laptops, because we're not as fortunate as some people to go out and buy new ones, and if they break, they can fix them!
Actually, Dell has good laptops. I reccomend it because if you break it they fix it for free the first time.Quote:

It is. My dad used to rent laptops. Plus you've got a laptop for good after you have paid off the monthly bills.Quote:

Our first one was a piece of crap, so now we just get them from Rental places and get nice Compaqs or HPs.
:eek: I *LOVE* Dells! I wouldn't buy any other brand.Quote:

I've been hearing that the newer Macs/Powerbooks should be wonderful - much more reliable than the old Macs. HP's are pretty good, as well, and I remember my first two choices were an HP and this Dell.
For what it's worth, I've been having this laptop for about a year and a half and everything still runs like new. I could not be happier with it, and I know that the middle-of-the-liners run about 600-800$ if you stick with the basics.
If I were you, I'd be more than happy to return that ol' rental laptop and buy yourself a new one ;) Dell does offer monthly payment plans, and if you stick with the basics (you'll probably only need the bare basics), it costs about 15-20$ a month or cheaper (I think...).
