I have a dell 3000cn color laser printer and noticed that when i print color pictures that span the size of the entire page then at the bottom (regardless if its printed landscape or portrait) a slight redish line appears at this lower region of the page (in the printing area)...It doesn't look like its printing more red in this area but looks like some kind of burn-in or something that appears slight red. Not sure what it is....Any ideas what it is and what i can do to resolve this.....

Can you give me instructions for the dell 3000cn on each of your steps?

I have a new HP a6110n. It has 2gb DDR2 RAM already, but I just bought a nvidia 7600 GT 256mb video card to play some games. Would the extra gig make much of a difference, how about 2 more gigs? Do new fans make a difference in performance? anyone know another way to boost performance?

I need to build a business website ASAP. It needs to come with a domain name, at least 50 MB of storage space. Ad free. The cheapest I've found is at godaddy.com for $43 a year including e-mails. Anyone know of anything cheaper? i have to be able to make the entire website using html.

It doesn't matter to me if the software is free or not. I am just needing a software that will convert pdfs to doc. I don't need it to be editable. In fact, it would be best if each pdf page showed up in Word as an image, with the wrapping style set to "tight". I've used Leadtools in the past, but since we got a new scanner, Leadtools no longer works. Batch conversions would be a plus, but I know beggars can't be choosers.

Rtf files and txt files will not be usable. I need the images to output to doc images. Thank you for any assistance!

Firstly, please forgive my lack of knowledge about technology. I have seen people carrying around a tiny little 'key looking' thing that they plug into their USB ports. Apparently they allow you to transfer information from computer to computer, what are these things called? My mom is a writer and wants one for her bday but I can't look for them if I don't know what they're called. :) Also any websites where they're sold would be very appreciated!! Thanks!!

I know that any appliance shouldn't be turned on 24/7 but there are sometimes that we leave a pc turned on for long hours. Does a laptop falls back at this?

(P.S.: Sorry if my english is wrong...)

It signs off and then signs back on all on its own like its supposed to. It seems to only do it when I am not sitting at the computer and its gone idle.

How do I make it stop?

I dont think its my connection.. although it IS roadrunner and I do live in the boonies, so its not impossible I suppose.

I have HP Vs17 Monitor. I had no idea about the monitor refresh rate. I was just checking some settings and found this setting on the monitor tab. It was selected to 60 Hz. But accidently I enabled it to 75 Hz. My monitor's resolution is 1280*1024 pixels and I have 128 MB graphics card in built. After selecting that my display turned a bit fuzzy but I think much clearer than b4. Then I found the warning which tells higher refresh rates are good but It may hamn my monitor's hardware. So, i quickly restored it to default 60 Hz. Did my monitor get hurt ??? What's this refresh rate all about??? Where do I get addintional help on this....Which Hp site..where ??? And pls make it clear on what refresh rate is !
Thanks in Advance ! :D

The computer will be used mainly for word processing, some spreadsheets, taxes, internet, foreign language software, and occasional games for our small daughter. I'd like to have the computer for at least a few years.

I'd like a computer that can do some video stuff--basic stuff. I'd also like to start saving lots of music to the computer, which I haven't on my 2000 Windows ME destop (I know, I know...)

So, first question--Based on the above, PC, Apple, or it doesn't matter?

First question--If PC, is there really any choice of OS, or is Vista all that's out there now?

Second question--Minimum chip speed, hard drive, type of burner, monitor screen size (I'm tossing the old 14" that's been with the current computer). The more info, the better. (Graphics and sound suggestions are helpful too if you have some off the top of your head.)

Third question--Any guess as to $$$ for your recommendation?

Thanks for any recommendations and information.

Hi,

I am making a web site and want to include a section where I review movies. My server does not have any database functions.

I want to know if it's possible to have a page with a dropdown menu (with film titles to choose) and then display my review in a space below the menu.

If it is possible can it be done without having seperate.htm pages for each review, maybe it's possible to read text from a file that is formatted in a certain way, this way I would only have one file to upload each time I do a review.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
John-Paul
