Had Compaq laptops for years before HP took 'em over. GREAT tech support back then. Late experiences with HP laptops has ben good. Built pretty well, haven't needed to call Tech Support. One thing, though. Don't buy the low end units. Spring for the more "professional" models, equipped with XP. They are usually a little more robust and trust me you should have XP Pro if U R gonna use Windows. Spring for the service contract IF THE CALL CENTER FOR THAT SERVICE IS N THE US. You usually then don't get someone in Bangladesh if U have to call, and if you don't speak Urdu, as I do not, you can have a conversation with the tech. Hope this helps, -- Doc

HP and Compaq are the same company, so their products are very similar, except HP is usually a tad bit more expensive Pros: 1. Relatively inexpensive 2. Customizable on their website. 3. Costco carries them 4. Generally Reliable Cons: 1. not much here, the only one i would say is that HP/Compaq does not offer the top of the line graphics card for gaming.

Hewlett Packard

They are both made by the same company, Hewlett Packard. I see more HP boxes vs the Compaq in my daily work. I prefer the HP. Mostly because they have been around a lot longer than the Compaq's and HP has always made machines from Servers and tape backup units to printers. Plus HP puts more into the HP line and not so much in the Compaq line.

look on the bottom of your latop there will be cd icon somewhere imprinted in the bottom case. It will point to a screw and you have to take that screw out and then push in on the cd tray and it will pop out. If it does not pop out than insert a paper clip into the hole in the cd tray cover and it will pop open and pull on it jently outward. Make sure you take the screw out before pulling on it like this. Make sure you get the exact same optical drive or one that is compatable with your model from the manufacturer because unlike a desktop pc where virtually any optical drive is inter changeable it is not the case with laptops. I've seen where a optical drive causing strange problems. Good luck.

I'm not laughing, I've done it before, just not to a laptop. A lot of people have. Your going to have to refer to the owners manual and take your laptop apart to clean it. Be very carefull.
2 :
probably the easiest thing to do is replace the keyboard,but first get yourself a can of compress air and try to spray the problem areas with it,if that doesn't work then replace the keyboard.keyboards for laptops aren't that expensive if you replace them yourself

Uninstall itunes, Reinstall itunes.

you need a program called windows installer most likely. Search Microsoft's website, or else make sure that you have downloaded all the important updates from Microsoft.com
3 :
Windows installer is packaged in the installation files within the itunes download files and not your operating system. Remove the downloaded wizard of itunes to your Recycle Bin and download it again. Sometimes a download goes bad which is probably what happened in your situation.
