I have a Compaq ij650 series model printer at home, and it has worked like any other great printer until one day, I wanted to print something out, but it did not. I tried turning it off and on, putting in new paper and ink, but it won't work. What I don't understand is that the paper light keeps blinking but, i already set the paper and pressed it, but none of the two buttons will work. Can anyone help me to make it function again?

What is the motivation for people to write open source software? Who pays the developers that wrote linux? I understand why people write small open source programs, but who would spend all that time to get nothing in return???

So I just got back from a trip to Texas, and I want to show people all the pictures I took there (about 700). What is the best way that I could show these. Preferably, I would like them to be displayed on my TV, but I don't have any cables to connect my computer to the TV. I've tried burning CD's and putting them into my DVD player, but it won't show the video's that I have. Thanks a lot!! oh yes, and ive tried picasa and for some reason, it always fails on the 2nd disk

ive heard that it's bad for your laptop to let it sit on your bed or soft surfaces while its on? people have told me it over heats and may cause problems.
is this true?

This is my program:

#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

double f = pow(123,17);
double c = fmod(f,3233) ;

cout<< f << endl;
cout << c << endl;
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

It works for smaller numbers (like if c = 8 mod 2 I will get 0), but if I have c = 123^17 mod 3233 I don't get 855 like I'm supposed to, I get 992. Any ideas why?

I'm trying to put a song onto my powerpoint presentation using a mac. I want the song to play at 28 seconds, but i don't know how to make that work. I've gotten to the point where i inserted the song, but i can't change the option of when i want the song to start playing. I can do that on a regular windows computer by going to insert, movies and sounds, sound from file, press automatically, then left click the sound object, go to custom animation, right click on the song, effect options, then change 'from beginning' from the start playing category, to 'from time.'
I couldn't figure it out, and I would really like it if it played from 28 seconds. =\ If someone could help out, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Okay, so whenever i try to open up a movie file, my comp freezes.
I then uninstall my video card drivers, and then i can watch my movies, but the quality isnt so great.
When i reinstall the video card driver (nVidia XFX) my movies freeze up again and so does my comp.

No matter what software I download, run or save I get c:/documents and settings/Hubert/my documents/name of file.exe is not a valid win32 application.

For example I downloaded software direct from Microsoft like IE7 for a test as I already have the program installed, and when the program attempts to install, I get the above, IE7 file.exe is not a valid win32 application. The name of any file I try to install is shown and will not install, "says not a valid win32 application.

I am running Windows XP Home. I have no viruses and never had one, or any spyware. So please don't tell me I have a virus.

Safe mode, last good restart point, reboot from last good start point, fails to resolve the problem.

Please does anybody have any ideas how to resolve this problem.

All of my installed programs works fine, including automatic updates from microsoft and all other security. Computer runs fine, just unable to install anything.

Thanks in advance, Minddoctor.
