Nothing bad will happen if you paint the housing.  Even the circuitry can be painted, if you really wanted to get into it.

You can either \na) Get it free from http://www.limewire.com\n\nor you can\n\nb) Get it from ebay: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=paint+shop+pro I think you can get them as cheap as $50 these days

It depends. I've spilled things in a laptop before and had no negative consequences other than a few of the keys no longer working. My recommendation would be, if you spilled it on the edge of the keyboard, tilt your laptop towards that side to help drain the water out. The keyboard can be replaced, if necessary and if you know what you're doing.

Try this: on your toolbar Click "STart", then "All Programs", then "Accessories"\nYou should find Paint under that category.\n\nShoot! That's strange!\nthis program;s name is usually located there: %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nLook for mspaint.exe. Maybe you moved it by mistake.\n\nAdded Monday afternoon, 4:55pm:\nYou found it? GREAT!!!!\nYou can copy it on your desktop, and lauhch it from there.\nOr ... you can copy it back in the %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nI think putting it on your desktop is easier.\n\n:=)

512mb is more than enough! If you want a little extra "OOMPH" you can free up some computer resources by doing some simple steps to increase overall performance. 1st Right click anywhere on the desktop in an open space- go to Properties - Click the Applications tab Go to "Effects" in the bottom right corner - and de-select all the options. Then go to "Settings" tab, and change your color quality to 16bit. 32 or even 24 is overkill for most computer users. And 99% of the time, you won't even be able to tell the difference. And last but not least Right click on the "My Computer" icon- go to the "Advanced Tab" -Click the "Settings" under the Performance category, and select "Adjust for best performance." These simple steps will give you the best bang for your buck with your current computer configuration. This way you can speed up your computer without having to spend a dime, or even crack open the case. Have fun!

Sounds like at least one key is sticky.  Coke (or any soda) will do that.  Carefully remove the keys in the area of where you spilled it and gently clean with a Q-tip and alcohol.  The worst that could happen has already happened - you cannot use the laptop.

You can use oil to do it.  Some people have started making computers at home that are submerged in oils of all sorts, since it doesn't conduct electricity.

I remember an application called microangelo that allowed you to create icons for desktop folders.  You could do the same with MS paint at maximum zoom but MicroAngelo has more features such as animation.\nThen you can set the icon in the shortcut properties.\n\nIf you want an easier way, just install a theme.

if its not under warranty, remove the keyboard from the notebook, and steam mashine the keys, then rub it with paper towels then put back, as if u do that on a notebook with warranty it goes void, or you do it while the keyboard is still in the notebook you could render the notebook renderable to un-usable state if u liquid clean the keys.\n\ni suggested steam as its thin water and heat, yet cleans well, but not inside a computer, only the parts like under the keys or in the groves etc etc, if done while still wired in , it could steam the board (not good lol)\n\ntake care,\ndez

Yes you could use the USB port if you have a USB keyboard\nSome laptops have a ps2 port so a keyboard with a ps2 plug can plug into your laptop.

There are commercial kits available, but a can of compressed air, a lint-free cloth or wipes, mild dishwashing liquid, and a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush are all you really need for a basic cleaning. \nAfter turning off your computer and unplugging your keyboard, gently shake the keyboard upside down over some newspaper to dislodge loose crumbs and particles. \nUse the can of compressed air to blow a stream of air between the keys. \nDampen a lint-free cloth with a diluted solution of dishwashing liquid and water to wipe down the keys. \nUse the vacuum cleaner brush attachment to suck away any remaining dirt or debris. <br />\nIf you have a membrane-type keyboard (it doesn't have a spring under each key) and the keys are truly grungy, you can remove the keys with a small screwdriver and use cotton swabs and 90% isopropyl alcohol to get it sparkling clean. If you are still feeling industrious, next you can tackle cleaning your mouse. \nOf course, if cleaning your keyboard seems a truly undesirable task, you can always buy a new one for around $20.

There may be pro shops willing to do it.  Otherwise, you might see if you can make your own stencil and paint it.  Not sure how to advise you on how to paint it though.  I wouldn't use house paint.
