Locked out
When i turn on my desktop it asks for a password that i never created or even knew how to create one. When it turns out it displays Gateway, than directly to the password. I try to hit F10 and F12 for BIOS settings and reboot options and it still send me straight to the password screen. I was told that i need to open the case and do something. I tried alt-del-ctrl, but it restarts the computer. What can i do to fix this?
A lot of Windows computers are set up this way right out of the box, and even though it is asking for a password one hasn't been set yet. If this computer is a new computer I would suggest you just try hitting enter without entering a password.
If this works you should be able to change this setting to not ask for a password when the computer boots up in your control panel. I hope this works!

We actually have a lot of information on this subject on BestBuy.com here: http://tinyurl.com/y8nhoxx. There also is a good video on our forum that not only describes the difference between these types of TVs, but has a lot of other useful information in deciding what size and type of HDTV a customer would need. The link to this video is here: http://tinyurl.com/ykegmgw. I hope this helps!

Will Best Buy install a dash kit on an already installed radio?
I have a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo that already has a stero in it, but it needs a dash kit because the stereo moves around in the dash, and everytime I turn off my car my stereo resets itself. If I brought it in to Best Buy could they fix the power problem and install a dash kit if I didn't buy the stereo from them?
Our mobile audio install bay should be able to install this dash kit for you as long as we are able to get all the parts necessary to properly install this stereo.
I would contact your local store to see if they are able to do this. I hope this helps!

Scanned photos onto Digital Frame
If I plan to scan old photos to a CD then transfer the pictures to a digital frame with a computer,
1. Can this be done easily?
2. Are there any specifications for the frame I should be sure to have, or stay away from?
1. Can this be done easily?
2. Are there any specifications for the frame I should be sure to have, or stay away from?
This should be possible, but you should make sure you scan these images into your computer as a JPEG file; or you will need to convert your scans to the JPEG file format after they are saved to your computer. The reason for this is that Digital Photo frames will only display images that are in the JPEG file format.
You shouldn't have to burn your scans to a CD in order to save them to your digital photo frame. Digital Photo frames should come with a cord to connect it directly to your computer, and you can then transfer your JPEG image files to the frame via this cord. I hope this helps!

do you need the internet to be able to use the LG Chocolate TOUCH
You shouldn't have to have a data plan in order to use this cell phone, but you do limit a lot of what this phone is capable of without a data plan.

is my camera good for night shots?
I just recently got a little Casio camera, for Christmas actually, but so far I've been having a terrible time taking night photos. The night setting it comes with takes so long to take the picture, and they come out TERRIBLE. I'm getting ready to go to Disney with my family and would love to be able to take night photos of everything, but am on a tight budget. Any Suggestions?! Is there another camera I should use? Or is there something I can do to the one I already have to make it better?
No point-and-shoot camera will produce very good results in low lighting situations without the use of the flash. The main reason for this is that the sensor on these type of cameras is so small, and if the camera was to increase the sensitivity of the sensor to the point needed to get the exposure necessary to take a quality image the digital noise would be so bad that the image would look just as bad (if not worse) that the results you are getting right now.
With low light shooting environments (without the use of a flash) you should always be using a tripod. The reason for this is that the camera has to expose the sensor for so long that any movement of the camera itself will blur the image.
If you really want to take good quality images in low light situations you are going to need to invest in a DSLR camera, and even the entry level DSLR cameras will struggle in low light situations. The best option for this type of photography is a "full frame" sensor camera like the Canon 5D or the Nikon D700. These cameras are very expensive, and the lenses for them aren't cheap either.
I actually own the Canon 7D, and it does reasonable well in low light shooting, but it still doesn't compare to what a full frame sensor DSLR is capable of. I hope this helps!

Will the Apple iPad be available for purchase at Best Buy?
Will Best Buy sell the Apple iPad and if so, when can it be ordered or purchased?
Most likely yes, but at this point it is too early to say for sure.
