I assume that if you just bought the laptop, it has Windows 7. My sisters laptop had Vista, and shortly after she bought it it kept giving her the blue-screen-of-death. to solve this I had her computer use system restore to restore to a point before she started getting problems. After that, it worked like a charm. If you try this it might help, but unfortunately it will get rid of the programs you installed after the point that you restore it to. If your computer is giving the Blue-screen-of-death, please take a picture so we can see.



P.S. Guten Tag! :D

In that case I would expect it to be another one of HP's "Great-Big-Hardware-Manufacturing-Faulties". They had a lot of GPU hardware manufacturing problems in their HP Pavilion DV2000, DV6000, and DV9000 models.




P.S.
Hidden/Spoiler:
I'm still learning German and have yet a long way to go, but I at least think I understood what you said. I'm not sure how to write it back in Deutsch but....... when I wrote the message it was in the afternoon.

Also the bing translators say that "bitte schön" means "please beautiful" but the Roseta Stone program something different. I'm confused. also when I put your text in the translator, this is what i got " the day is not so beautiful" which makes me even more confused. Bing also says that "guten tag" means "good day" but Roseta stone says good afternoon. I'm so confused! :runaway:

No. Just, no.

Guten Tag literally means good day. So what it means depends on the time of day. Good afternoon would translate into guten Mittag, but they say Guten Tag instead. So both translators are right-ish
Guten Namen is just wrong. Firstly, since it's loose and not in a sentence, it would be gute Namen, secondly, Namen means names. Good evening is guten Abend.
And, it's gute Nacht, without the n.

"Bitte schön" means "you're welcome".

And yeah, that's what anakin said :P (but, more like "the day isn't that good at all")

If I use online translators, I use them to translate single words, then apply the language's rules to them. These translators always mess up sentences badly...



Anyway, *cough*, good luck with your laptop anakin :P

DISCLAIMER: While The_Emperor is very wise, not everything he says should be taken for granted. Language mistakes may have been made. The_Emperor does not perfectly speak German, as it is not his native language. The_Emperor was too lazy to check if his claims about the German language were true.
