If I had black line art on a white background, and then pasted it onto the second layer of transparent background, how could I erase the white background without erasing the line art, or having to do it around the line art?

I have 6 NexLink computers, and none will power up with their current power supply. (I will assume all the power supplies are bad because none will even spin their own fan.) I have tried another power supply with the same wattage on these machines and they power on however I do not get video out of any of them. The power supply that gets the machine to power on does not have a microprocessor power connector that the previous power supply has. Is it possible that this could be the reason I cannot get them to boot? Or possibly any other ideas? Thanks!

Any ideas out there? I have a dell laptop, trying to print to a networked dell printer. I can see the printer from the list, choose the printer, but then I get a message that it can't find the driver. Went to Dells website and downloaded the driver, but there was no file that it recognized when adding the printer. I got the exact same message again. I don't get this with every Vista laptop, just a few of them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I recently upgraded my video card and, like an idiot, I didn't check my display settings before doing so. Now everything looks . . . strange, and it seems no matter what I set the resolution to or how change my monitor's settings, the picture looks too stretched, to convex, or the icons, menus, and text look wrong. Is there any way I can check my monitor's old settings?

for example, can I run the files for Windows 1.0 (DOS) on an XP machine without using a command prompt and without reinstalling windows? The reason I am asking is because I downloaded the files for Windows 1.0 and when I ran them a command prompt opened with "details" about installing 1.0. I was able follow the commands up until a certain point, and after that the command prompt just closed automatically, and I never saw anything about 1.0 being installed or running. So I don't know what happened. Likewise I doubt if any version of DOS would be able to be installed in place of XP on this computer due to the extreme RAM requirements of XP which were not found in DOS systems. So I just basically want to know if there is a way to run Windows 1.0 from an XP system whlie XP is still installed? Because, as I just explained, it would not even work with a command prompt.

I'm running Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and when I open an Excel spreadsheet it always pops up a window like you're using the program for the first time which first says "Please wait while Setup prepares the necessary files..." then quickly says "Configuring Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007..." This process takes about a minute or two to complete every time I open an .XLS document from the explorer. It doesn't happen with Microsoft Word, only Excel.

Anybody know why this might be happening and what I can do about it?

Thanks.

My computer does not automatically restart itself when I click on the restart computer button after installing a new program? I have to do it manually through the start menu. I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite(did scan and nothing), Spy-Bot Search&Destroy(scan and nothing), WinPatrol Plus, SpyWare Blaster, and SpyWare Guard...So I have no virus or spyware problems. Anyone have any ideas or solutions to why and how to fix my issue? It would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, my computer's been acting up. The screen began freezing. Now, the monitor won't get past the initial black screen and the hard disk light doesn't blink, even though I can hear the hard drive spinning. In fact, the monitor power light goes orange, indicating that it's not receiving any signal.
My bro says the montior went (I went and bought a new cheap one, still doesn't work). Other sites I've read say that it could be the power supply. My local computer store says the mother board has gone. Staples says the video card has gone. I personally think it's the motherboard. Which, if any is it?
I've already paid over $100 on useless diagnostics, so please help me if you can! I can't afford a whole new computer right now :).

I have a Compac presario with no available slots for upgrade on USBs. They are soldered to motherboard. It does have Windows Xp, but it was a ME. In device manager, it does not have any enhanced USB, so I'm assumng it's 1.1. We bought a new film scanner and it ONLY works with 2.0 and XP, so buying new CPU probably would do nothing for us, because of Vista. Never had any problems with other plug & plays. An external drive might do it, but will not run any faster than it does now, but at least the driver would be recognized, right? Then again we are talking spending more money (yuk). Any suggestions?
