5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoHow to fix "low resources, can not switch user" issue on Toshiba Satellite laptop?
When the laptop is only 'logged off user' (not completely shutdown) and you try to log back on there is no cursor but if you try to use the tab key and login the message "low resources, cannot switch user' message shows. Since no user is logged in the only option seems to be shut it down which results in the 'improper shutdown' message when starting up again. Any ideas how to fix besides always shuting down completely?
3 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoHow can I find a cooling system leak? I can smell radiator fluids but find no wet spot.?
1994 GMC Sierra pick up, I hear gurgling noises and the oveflow reservoir is always empty (yes, I have refilled it to proper level) though the radiator itself is always full. There are never any puddles underneath and I've looked closely at all the connections in the engine compartment. Have not looked at heater core but there is no sign of leakage inside the cab.

8 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWhy does my ABS pulse/vibrate when braking?
'99 Cadillac STS 100K mi, discs all around. I inspected one front assembly; rotors are smooth - not even a lip at outer edge, pads almost 1/4" thick. Same at the rear. Fluid is topped up - everything seems as it should.
After checking these it still pulses AND ... somehow I believe the brakes are dragging because I've lost 4mpg (22 down to 18) according to the dash readout. These brakes self adjust right?
Just thought I'd ask here before I take it to my mechanic, it's likely I'm overlooking something quite basic and obvious - I hope! :o)
Thank you.
