How do I change my keyboard key?

I got this new keyboard (alienware m11x laptop), and right beside the LEFT ARROW KEY is a KEY-THAT-ACTS-LIKE-MOUSE-RIGHT-CLICK. It is very annoying and everytime I want to press LEFT ARROW KEY, I accidentally click on that KEY-THAT-ACTS-LIKE-MOUSE-RIGHT-CLICK.

How can I change/disable this?

I am using Windows7 Ultimate.

Should we format our Alienware system?

desmond.fun — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:09:20 +0800

Just ordered one Dell Alienware M11x. Now I was wondering if I should format the system or not once I received it.
I believe the 500gb HD will not be partitioned by Dell and there should be a lot of junk software from Dell that might "junk up" the system.

Can someone tell me the experience on this? How easy to install back Windows7 Ultimate and other necessary Alienware softwares that will properly optimize the performance of the Dell Alienware laptop?

Thank you.

DELL Studio XPS Hot/HeatIssue?

desmond.fun — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:54:53 +0800

I wanted to buy a good laptop recently and I think DELL Studio XPS suited me.

But when I read through comments in the Internet, it seems that this laptop has a very very hot surface especially on the palm area. It is unbearable according to those comments. Can anyone clarify on this? I need to use this laptop for work/programming/gaming, so hot keyboard will be a main issue.

Another option I am thinking of is DELL Alienware. But the weight of the laptop (over 4kg) is killing me. Anyone know if Alienware produce the same heat as well?

Please help.

Common Mistakes made in the Stock Market

desmond.fun — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:33:05 +0800

Extracted the below from www.TalkandShare.com - Malaysian Stock Market Community Blog | Forum | LiveChat

Here are some common mistakes made in the stock market. I hope readers will take note and avoid them:-

Holding on to a falling stock hoping to get out even or a small gain. (In most cases, the hope becomes hopeless).

Buying in a downtrend or compounding your error by averaging down indiscreetly.

Buying penny stocks without knowing their intrinsic value

Buying on tips and rumors or tagging long with friends

Buying a share because of its name

Not knowing how to select good solid companies

Not knowing what is good advice

Not using charts and being afraid to buy stocks that are trending up

Taking profits too quickly

Speculating more than one can afford to lose

Overestimating one's own ability (Don't be the praying mantis thinking it can block a car)

Approaching the market wrongly.

Trying to make the maximum amount of money in the least possible time.

Not realizing that investing intelligently is the right approach.

Not learning from one's mistakes and that of others..

Fortunes are made and fortunes are lost in the stock market. If you want to be a winner, be serious about it. Don't go in for fun, but for the fund.

Happy investing.

W810i or K618i/B?

desmond.fun — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 01:42:01 +0800

I have read most of the reviews from lowyat and other places, but still I cannot make up my mind which one is better.

W810i and K618i/B both seems very good... I know their spec already thru sony.com.my... but they dun tell the bad things about it.

Can anyone tell me the Pros and Cons of both the hp? Also can you let me know what is the price for AP and Original for both the hp?

Your advise, experience, review, and quote will be appreciated
