Just get it fixed

First off, my laptop is not well. Laptop is, in fact, broken. No right-click function to speak of in weeks. Scroll and dragging function is not good either. Mouse freezes every time the computer starts up. Mouse doesn't work in Adobe Flash Video (YouTube!!). Battery is barely hanging in there. Sounds about the time to get my machine fixed, right? Well....

I did beat those flaws, but I gotta admit these are the worst kind of solutions. Totally unnecessary. 

• The broken right-click function has rendered me unable to save images. I fixed that by highlighting the image and using the context menu button to go to 'view selection source', and clicking on the url that pops up in the next window. From there I can use ctrl + s.

• Sometimes the mouse freezes at first when Windows opens. Ctrl + Alt + Del and open the task manager in Windows. Mouse works fine again.

• I figured out that, when on YouTube, the mouth works just fine on the videos when I open up a smaller window over the site first, and then hover above the video.

• Nothing much to do about the battery, really...... The laptop doesn't randomly shut off, but it only lives 20-30 minutes at a time before the battery dies without warning. I've got a power cord.

So as you can see I'm not desperate yet. It's a drag, but other than that the computer's fine. The not being able to play Sims 2 will probably do me in sooner or later though.
