    The screen is removable (making it possible to replace the screen if it gets broken) so carefully remove it and clean of the oil as best you can but do not use any abrasive cleaner or petroleum-based solvents. I suggest you first remove as much as you can with paper towels, then use a proprietary LCD screen cleaning liquid spray and the cloth supplied with it to remove the residue. When done, re-fit the screen.

    For screen removal, since you haven’t disclosed your laptop make/model, this generic guide should help: http://www.lcds4less.com/laptop-lcd…

    What you described is neither “backwards” nor “inverted”, but
    rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

    The extra software that can be used with some mice sometimes
    allows the user to set the angle that the mouse pointer should
    move when the mouse is moved.

    However, I Googled your mouse make and model, and quickly
    found that other people had the exact same problem, and solved
    it by going to trust.com and downloading and installing a driver.
    They give this as the link to a .zip file which contains an .exe

    The power supply is a factor when choosing a card & to a lesser extent, the CPU. To help with the choice, we’d need to know what you want to be able do with the card (gaming?) & how much you’re willing to spend. This article is a good starting point:

    You should also consider getting more RAM.

    Found out some things:
    You can convert disks to another file-system. I don’t know about DiskMgmt, but you sure can in Minitool. This would let you change from NTFS to FAT32. I haven’t tried that, and the thing is: can you do that with 32G+ partitions/disks ?

    There still is a tool called CONVERT.exe, but this one only converts towards NTFS.

    I read some things on the net, and it was saying that in older versions of that same tool, you could also convert to FAT32.
    And, in older versions of FORMAT.com, you could format a FAT32 disk with more than 32G.
    But I don’t know how old that would be, maybe even up to DOS.

    edit: The 95, 98 and ME versions of format.com didn’t have an NTFS option. So, that means they would only format FAT32. So, go figure what the biggest disk is you’d want to format, back then.
    edit 2: info on the net states you can run a 127GB bootable disk, running Windows 98 and FAT32. When they run the format.com there (in DOS), it displays an incorrect size, but it can actually format a 128+ GB drive. CHKDSK reports the corrct size. Thus, it can do something the format.com in Windows 10 can’t do … But, then the limit is around 128G. In Windows then, all seems OK as the disk has the correct – big -size. Once more it seems: there’s no issue running big FAT32 drives in any Windows, it’s just and only the formatting that is crippled, purposely.
