 or

 
  • Tried to use more than one monitor. Extra memory card needed if you want more than two total screens. 
  • Blank black screen (power) defect!
  • Oracle America, Inc (program name jucheck.exe) conically pops up for permission to update Java 7 Update 17. 
    • Solution: Second, launch task manager, End Process of jusched, and delete that from the "Java Update" file. It's all in the pictures:
Windows Task Manager → Processes

(You may have to make Description longer to view which is the Java...)




Overall
 Frequently a blank black screen prevents anything but safemode from running (so MS Office cannot be run most of the time, and no sound in safemode). I suppose it prevents me from procrastinating (on YouTube and movies). The processing power, such as for going online, is also very slow (only 4GB of RAM). It's better to buy a laptop with 8GB+ RAM.
