Is OEM's Windows XP CD provided when you bought new IBM laptop?

Dear the forum reader,
I'm facing "Crash" on my Windows XP. My laptop is IBM R51of year 2005. I'm staying in Malaysia.
After I have gone through the software CD and User Manuals, I discovered that that is no OEM Windows XP CD. For your info, there has already pre-loaded Windows XP when I bought my laptop last time.
Is it a common practice that OEM Windows XP CD is not provided to any new purchaser of IBM/ Lenovo laptop?
Thus, any clue on this issue.
Many thanks!
Cheers,
Adrian

Its been common practice with most brands of laptops for several years now.
In the case of a ThinkPad, a system image that can be used to create one set of installation CDs is included on the hard disk of every ThinkPad when it ships from the factory.

I have the iphone 4 and PC with Windows Vista Basic. When I bought my iPhone syncs with iTunes on my computer, but now when I try to sync it tells me that Mobile Device Service was closed and I can not synchronize the phone. Try restarting Mobile Device Service and uninstall and reinstall Itunes but still giving me the same error.

You need to import the CD into iTunes on your computer and then sync the tracks to your iPad.

Windows won't close when you quit Pages '09

Anybody else find that the Special Character and Help Pages windows don't close when you quit Pages? Also, these windows can't be relegated to the background when clicking on an underlying page. These seem to be really sloppy oversights...

I appreciate that the Character palette and Help are separate applications. The problem is that there is no need to keep these windows open once the program that called them is closed. Moreover, when Help is called in Pages '09, the window that is left open after the program quits is Pages '09-specific. You can't use it to submit queries for help with any other applications. Therefore, there is absolutely no sense in keeping it open. I kind of equate this to a messy kid that doesn't clean up his/her toys once (s)he's finished playing...

Diaabling the window that pops up when you start recording

I finally got my friend to try Logic and he loves it, but he complains about the window that pops up when you start recording audio. Its not a problem for me but he swears it annoys him so I told him I would find out if it can be removed. So does anyone know if that window can be disabled?

I don't think you can remove it. I agree, that would be a nice option to have.
I think though, that if he were to move it over to a corner of the screen, Logic will remember this placement, and whenever he goes into record, it should open up where he left it, hopefully out of the way enough not to bother him so much...

The window shrinks down and when you expand it the writing isn't there it only shows the small part that does open. Most of the games can't be played this way!

When you click to play the game, the window shrinks down and when you expand it the writing isn't there it only shows the small part that does open. Most of the games can't be played this way, you can't read the chat or access most of the buttons!!! It is just the newest version of Firefox because it works fine on my other computer that hasn't been updated and it also works fine in IE.

Is it best to fully charge the battery when you first get your laptop

Is it best to fully charge the battery when you first get your laptop?
I remember buying a bluetooth earpiece and I had to do that in order get the most out of the battery due to the memory it has or something like that..
are macbooks the same??

I agree. I HATE having to wait for the battery to charge on my new Palms and Macs before using them - I guess GOD teaches us patience in strange ways (hee, hee).

What is the main benefit of buying an ipad ? what can you actually do in 16, 32 0r 64 gb when you have 510 gb laptop with you ?

What is the main benefit of buying an ipad ? what can you actually do in 16, 32 0r 64 gb when you have 510 gb laptop with you ?

For me? the advantage of an ipad over a laptop....instant on, instant off, thin and portable. Check your e-mail and put it down, not wait 5 minutes to boot, check your mail, shut it down.
Is it as fully functional as a laptop? no. Not meant to be. What it lacks in functionality it makes up for in portability.
Is a necessity? no. But quite handy.

How to create a voice mail password if you did not do it when you bought the phone?

I did not create a password for my voice mail when I bought the phone. How can you do it now since I ignored the prompt when I first tapped voice mail?

YOu will have to contact your cell provider to get the password, voicemail is a carrier feature.

When you create new row where does it go?anywhere/end/first??

Just wondering does anyone know when you create a new row where is it popped on? is it the beginning, the end or is it popped on randomly?

Airport express interference when my other new dell laptop with Vista

Hi,
My macbook was working great with airport express. Once I bought the new dell laptop with Vista it stopped connecting to airport whenever the Dell is on. Once I switch the Dell off, my macbook immediately connects with airport. The Dell never has any prob trying to connect. I've tried to change the channel but it doesn't help as my Dell is unable to connect. My radio mode is 802.11n ( which is b/g compatible) as I can't use any other mode since my Dell won't pick up other mode. Please help .
Thanks
Pralav

Thank you . I do have my Real player running. I turned it off and restarted and I still have interference from the dell laptop. My MB connect AE only when the dell is off. If start it my MB looses AE. The realy player doesn't seem to make any difference.
Thanks
