But joking apart try to open site in internet cafe, mostly they have good condition of system and hardware if all will be good there try scan your system by antivirus program then reinstall your internet browser first, if it is not help try to restore the operation system as ozzyboy wrote.

looking around on the net now, trying o find out how 2 destroy :)
If you have undone all the screws on the base, open the laptop lid and on the keyboard some laptops have little clip slots that run along the top, I think there are 4 or so. slide them backwards and the keyboard should lift out giving you access to the inside. This may not be the case on your model though, just food for thought.
its grinder time :)Quote:

Hi mate!
Please be careful with your laptop.
I'm ex IT worker so I saw a lot cases of vandalism over laptops, printers, PC and etc.
Please, in case if you want to DIY your computer, ask google first for disassemble manuals.
For your laptop please use this http://tim.id.au/laptops/toshiba/qosmio%20x500.pdf
I'm sure when you first time try to fix something in your Patrol you read manual first ))
nah, I smash, crash, bash, blowup, destroy first...... then if hat doesn't work.......read manual :)Quote:

when you say you have 2 log back on after to long idle,
does it always happen or only sometimes?
Is the browser still open or have you closed it down?
Are you using Tappa Talk at any period while not on lappy?
Happens all the time, browser is still open and use tappa talk only sometimes while on lappy, but tappa talk dosnt log off ever unless i log it off which i dont.Quote:

A question for all the IT gurus out there..........
My work laptop is a Durabook S15S, running vista business SP2.
Latley it has become real slow to boot and execute programs, and im worried its gona die soon...
I need a serial port for work, i use some outdated but essential automotive based programs, tryed USB/serial converters but no real luck with them. Cant seem to buy a laptop with a serial port anymore other than this one, at $3000 id like to ressurect this one if possible.
So, i would like to try and do a complete system restore, wipe the hard drive and start agian.
Im pretty sure i have all the CD's that came with it somewhere, but is it possible to create a mirror image of my harddrive, wipe it and restore it agian?
Im sort of tech savvy, computer stuff is usualy no problem for me, but i tryed to restore my wifes asus laptop when it died from a backup made through windows vista and was unsuccessfull, although a complete wipe fixed hers but we lost everything on it.
I have backed up all my important data incase this thing dies,, but would like to retain all my programs in their current config and not have to relicence them.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance guys
Steve
Hi Steve, I'm not a tech guru, but if you create an mirror image, I believe you just copy your problems across.Quote:

Im not above getting a pro to do this, but dont want to flog a dead horse so to speak.......
Depending on the age of the PC you could always do a defrag on the HDD. Also when the PC is running check what's using all the resources in task manager. If a lot of memory is in use either get more ram or increase the page file size. You can always image/ghost your hdd but make sure you don't do a sector by sector copy, that way you can reformat the drive and chuck the image back on it and it will be the closest thing to a rebuild you will get without actually starting from scratch. Also check to see if you have any background programs that are using a fair amount of CPU, if there are google them and see if you can remove them without any side effects. If it turns out to be the OS at fault it can be hard to determine whats causing it to run slow and is generally just easier to wipe and reload. As for the USB/serial, I know the problem your having as we had the same issue at work but try experiencing with different drivers and hopefully you should find one that will do the trick but in my experience they can be rather flackey to work with.
Hipponz, thanks for that I'll check the processes and go from there.
Is there a disk defrag program I can use instead of using windows, I tried a defrag again overnite and no go....
That's windows for you, I have had that same issue with the windows defrag, have a look for a 3rd party defrag program much better in my opinion , also turn any screen saver offQuote:

I couldn't be stuffed re imaging the laptop but might have too...any one know where it;s hiding?
I have deleted a few suss files but can't find where this bugger is
EDIT: Oh yeah by the way this is a friendly virus.....Most of the websites are advertising sites which seem to be user friendly
