But even though it says that its a 2.0 usb it doesn't work for 2.0 drives like my ipod. When ever I plug my ipod it says "This device can preform faster...click this to see 2.0 ports" So I do and it gives me a list of ports that are hi-speed and 2.0 but the thing is that where can I go or what do I do to plug it into those ports they are showing me because I only have 3 USB ports on my Vaio and all of them are set to the same speed (1.0-1.1). So what can I do so I can have my USB ports a 2.0? Also I was reading some articles and they were saying change BIOS settings to Hi-Speed instead of Full-Speed. How can I go into BIOS?

It has Model Number A940 on the back. This was only 5 dollars at the Salvation Army thrift store. It is missing the cord that connects it to the computer etc. It has the power cord. This was with a Dell monitor, I got for three dollars, that still had the factory ties, tieing up the power cord. Monitor has never been used. This looks equally new. But when I went to the Dell site, I cannot find it when I type in the model number. And I cannot find where the ink jets are. I also picked up a jet refill kit, original cost 53.99, for only 3 dollars. I am looking for John f. He was going to help me with a manual for my old Gateway monitor. Maybe he would be able to find the instructions for this scanner=copier=fax machine. thanks to everyone for your help.

I recently aquired this thing from my father in law, and he did not send any instructions. I just changed one of the ink cartridges and now it is telling me to "hit enter to align cartridges". When I hit enter a sheet prints out, but nothing else happens. Then the printer goes back to prompting me to "hit enter to align cartridges" again. Anyone know what I am supposed to do, or where I can find out??

I just got this laptop and I've realized something extremely irritating..I like to watch movies, as does a lot of people..but when I watch a movie on this laptop the screen is....I don't know how to explain it, I guess the term would be too "glossy" during dark images in a movie, such as night-time scenes, the screen is too bright or glossy which makes the movie seem like complete shadows.

Instead of being crisp and clear like my desktop it's simply glossy and not very well for movies..so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to fix this problem?

I was online earlier in the day when it happened and I checked Yahoo! Answers right away, downloaded SuperAntiSpyware to get rid of it. It got rid of most of it, but I still had the popups. So I ran it again and it got rid of more stuff. But the popups were still coming up (they weren't trying to get me to buy spyware they were like "Texas Casino" and IQ test things, hosted by 'Web Buy'). So then I turned to Spybot, and ran that twice. I still have the popups now and not only are they annoying, my father's going to be home in 3 hours and he'll blame this whole thing on me, say it's all my fault when I've done everything I can to fix it. I need something free that works quickly and will TOTALLY eliminate the popup problem without damaging my computer. Thanks!

***Right after I hit 'Next' after typing this, a popup came up for SystemDoctor- which I didn't download, but still. HELP!!!

Hi. I'm working on my first 'professional' web-design project (when I say professional, I mean I've been offered money for it) and I'be hit a little block in the road. I've got a great layout and design for the site... my customer and I are quite happy with how its turning out. There's just one problem... the drop down menu won't work in Firefox. It looks great in IE7, but in FF it looks terrible. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. Here's the HTML that I am using for each cell (5 cells in total):

long story short:
I have comcast high speed… and my computer was going hella slow. I was getting annoyed for a few days then one day the internet stopped altogether. I tried for hours to figure out WHAT was happening. I got all mad and uninstalled my LOCAL AREA CONNECTION in my NETWORK CONNECTIONS folder… now the whole folder is empty (so of course I have no internet connection at home, and I have to be sneaking around at work just to write this!!)... I think I really screwed up. I have no idea what I was thinking, I was just pissed off and angry, but now I’m just sad…

Please help, I have no clue about computers…

I was wondering if it is possible to link to a CSS file across domains without security/cross browser issues.

Here is the setup: Manage one primary site on Domain A with secondary content on Domain B. Both sites use same layout/design. I have direct control over Domain A, but changes to Domain B require a third party to implement.

I would like to have immediate control over the stylesheet and wass thinking about having the CSS file on Domain B be a hard link to the file on Domain A.

So instead of the LINK tag on Domamin B being a relative link to the finle on Domain B, its a URI to the file on Domamin A.

Any issues I should be concerned with?

Well, I managed to avoid Win95, Win98, etc, etc, but now, I can't hold back anymore. My old Commodore 64 has too many cookie crumbs in the cracks of the keyboard - so many in fact that I can't even press the keys down anymore! I'm thinking to upgrade to an Amstrad - y'know, one of them nice shiny green screen things. I hear they can make a rabbit shape on the screen, from words and things - and in only 15 minutes!! I'm not looking for advice for Windows Vista or an iMac - bloody futuristic nonesense! Scorcery it is! So if anyone has advice about upgrading me good old Commodore 64, I'd be much grateful!

I'm debating between a Toshiba or Gateway laptop. They have the following technologies:
Gateway = Intel Centrino core duo,
Toshiba = AMD turion 64 X 2 Dual core mobile technology.
Is Intel or AMD the better choice?
Here are the model numbers I am trying to decide over: A215-S4747 and MT6840. (Best Buy Flyer)
I understand the Toshiba's come with a restore disk where as the others do not. If a Gateway is purchased can a restore disk by made at home by the user? Which one would you chose and a short reason why would be appreciated. My use would be internet, email, browsing and some video work changing VHS home movies to DVD. I'll also put more RAM in it if necessary.
