Yup if its just a loose wire it will work pluged into a screen.

AVG free works fine. I prefer it to Norton (but in saying that i prefer BitDefender to AVG which is $100 for a year) but cant afford it and I find AVG free is good enough. (and we download torrents constantly and havent had a virus yet)


My laptop sh@t itself (screen became 8 screens lol) so we just use it as an external HDD and a wireless router for our internet and its plugged into the PS3 and we have a program that lets the PS access the computer so we can watch movies we have "found" and we use DPs computer for actually being on the computer. ]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 11:04:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165636&title=laptops#1165636 <![CDATA[Laptops : In terms of virus software I&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165543&title=laptops#1165543 Author: Jaune

In terms of virus software I've only ever used the AVG free edition which you can download online...
http://free.avg.com/au-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition

It's really good,, scans your computer and updates itself daily. I've never had any problems with it...and if you do ever get a virus or anything they have great online support.]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:06:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165543&title=laptops#1165543 <![CDATA[Laptops : Dh is in the IT business and only...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165385&title=laptops#1165385 Author: kiwigal

yes you should be able to plug it into a screen, if its just a screen that is busted then the cheapest thing to do is get a new screen and plug it in.

You can buy antivirus from the shop and download and install it easy as you will get the serial number with your purchase.

New computers come with a trial version of office so if you use that alot make sure you purchase that at the same time and try and get a discount]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:57:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165363&title=laptops#1165363 <![CDATA[Laptops : i was thinking about doing that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165304&title=laptops#1165304 Author: _H_

i plug mine into the TV with a HDMI cord, wrks real sweet! I think if you dont have HDMI on your TV you can still use the red white and yellow cords but get a different end for your computer!
Hope this helps]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:26:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165283&title=laptops#1165283 <![CDATA[Laptops : So we are going to have to get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165238&title=laptops#1165238 Author: _H_

So we are going to have to get new laptop as our current laptop must have a loose wire to the screen, the screen works but if you move it the wrong way the screen goes white!

I have a couple of questions-

If i hook my current laptop up to a monitor will it work? it would be good to have it as sometimes both DP and i want to be on the computer at the same time. also im not sure if we are going to be able to get a new laptop straight away

is it best to take the new laptop to a computer person to set up the antivirus etc or is it easier enough to download it? if im downloading it what is a good programme. ]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 20:58:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35986&PID=1165238&title=laptops#1165238
