I just picked up a HP laserjet 1100 printer (Model 4224A). I have never used a laser printer and I cannot find the info I need on the HP site. 1. I have an IEEE 1284 printer cable but it does not fit the laserjet it is about double the size of the laserjet connector. Is there a special cable that...

Hi, I just purchased a used HP Visualize x550 workstation running 2 Xeon PIII 550's/512Mb/9.1Gig Cheetah scsi etc. As this was a used computer it was sold clean, without any OS onboard. I am using the machine primarily for digital audio/video apps and wish to use Win XP. Upon installing XP...

I am having a lot of problems with my system. I have been having problems with the system randomly rebooting on me. I thought that it might be a heat issue at first cause it was running a bit hot. I got a new Volcano 12 heatsink and I'm running at about 47-48 degrees (CPU temp) now but I'm still...

Hello I am about to upgrade my PC from an Abit KT7A fitted with an Athlon 1800XP for an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. I bought with it two 256 MB DDR PC 333 memory. The memory is Infineon with a sticker on CM333/256/3rd on the ICs is stamped HYB25D256800BT-6, which according to the Infineon Web site seems...

What's the difference between the two MBs? I have an broken A7N8X Deluxe and a -E that works fine. The former has a "feeper" sound device and an AGP warning LED and certain things such as the CD Audio header are in different places. The CMOS setup on the -E seems nicer -- it has the...

I also noticed when the green power light blink/flicker like crazy, it takes about 2-3 seconds to turn off/go away after switching the PSU off. On 12/1/2009 9:39 PM PT, Ant typed: Hello! I came home to my already powered on old Linux computer desktop (leave it mostly 24/7). I woke it up...

I need to defrag the C: drive as it is about 24% fragmented. When I try to play music or video, it is all choppy now, perhaps because Windows XP is running so poorly now. Its a WD 120 drive, and the smart drive monitor is not saying there is a problem with it. CHKDSK runs and always finds some...

I had a computer go into a pattern of restarts to the boot choice screen but from there it could not go into safe mode and would just reboot. I pulled the harddrive and put it in another system and did a chkdsk /f on it and fixed several problems. Then it worked fine. I decided on a lark just to...

" This error has tragically become un-fixable because of the compatibility requirements from one generation to the next. The fix for this problem was figured out quite a long time ago. In the excellent paper The K5 transcendental functions by T. Lynch, A. Ahmed, M. Schulte, T. Callaway, and R....

I'm using AT&T and they have a package deal that they say will check out your computer online and get rid of all virus and malware etc problems for so much per month, but they want you to agree to a contract of a year at a time and they're already charging me way more for the service I have than...

Merry Christmas everyone. Anyone get some really cool computer stuff? Alan in Boise

I have a Slimline computer the size of a pizza box that I purchased a few years ago from PC Power and Cooling. It serves us well. It has a Samsung CD Master 24E SN124 CD-Rom which is on its last legs, however. It is an ATAPI slim optical drive and I think that it is probably a notebook piece...

I'm building my dream machine (as much as I can afford) and hit a new error message for me. The system is Intel mobo D975XBX2KR w/ Core 2 Duo E6600 and video card Matrox Parahelia APVe which is a 128MB PCIe x16. It copies the XP pro cd without a problem (horizontal bar at bottom goes to 100%) and...

Hi My Boot drive is 60G and my old BIOS saw that OK and Fdisk partitioned it OK some time ago. For extra storage. I bought a Seagate 120G drive and my then present BIOS would not see more than 32,248M of the new drive. I then used Seagate's DDO which worked OK for a few days and it did enable me...
