So my Lenovo T61's battery has fallen victim of Window 7's battery bug. It basically perma-destroys your battery, as it falsely reads its capacity. Today i went from Full charge(3 hours) to 2 and a half hours, than jumped to 5 minutes, and than shutoff.

I than installed Linux Mint, and its doing the same thing.

Im now forced to buy a new battery, Lenovo wants 250 including tax for a 9cell 10.8v battery. Bit of a punch to my pockets, any suggestions.

this is what i was looking at.

So should i go with Lenovo, or grab a generic one off tigerdirect.ca

Hey im in South Res Mountain hall, and im trying to set up a file sharing network between my roomates and I. It seems as tho every 2 rooms in an alcove, ( of 6 rooms) are on their own separate networks.

So if the alcove contained rooms 1-6, 1 and 2 would be on their own, 3 and 4 would be on their own, and 5 and 6 would be on their own.

Right now were using windows 7's home group feature, which is nice, but 5/6 people cant see my computer, and i cant see theirs.

Whats would be an alternative? I've been pondering if Hamachi would work?

Also i do frequent newsgrouping here in res, seems im capped at about 170kbs. Anything i can do about this?

Does Guelph have a DC++ network?( im not sure if its referred to as a network, never used the program).

Edit:

Sorry for the double post, i had forgotten i had posted in General Chat so i posted in Windows, as when i came to see if anyone had replied i assumed it was deleted.

Thanks for the double slap on the wrist about double posting too.

Does anybody know offhand how to switch my boot order? I'm running Vista and 7 on the same hard drive.

Right now it's defaulting to Vista, and unless I switch it to Windows 7 before 30 seconds, it boots Vista.

I want to be able to turn on my computer and walk away and have 'er run windows 7.

TIA

Hello all

Does anyone have experience with SP3 for XP? Any problems similar to those that came about with SP2?

Thanks,
