Is it ok to take ink cartridges out your printer to see if they are empty and then put them back if still full?

My cursor will drift diagonally from bottom left to top right corner and stick in that corner. When I wave the mouse about a bit it will work properly for a very short while and then does it again - and again - and again.
I have tried a different mouse and the problem is the same, so presumably it is something in my computer.
A virus? Nothing shows up on a scan.
How can I solve this problem? It's driving me mad!

I have a NVIDIA GeFORCE Go 6150 graphics card. It says I have 64MB of space, but can go up to 128MB. Is there a way I can get it to 128MB?

Can I connect to the internet without having a phone line hooked up? I have a desk top computer with a wireless card installed. Sometimes I receive a very weak bootleg signal, but want to know if it is possible to have my own signal (not bootlegged) without needing a phone line. Can anyone help me?

Well I'll try to explain everything that's wrong. First my yahoo messenger is acting weird. When I click on the mail icon, it won't load the page, it says inernet explorer cannot display the webpage. What's causing this and can I fix it? When I click on certain links in my favorites list, sometimes it'll load, sometimes it won't. What's causing this? Also I did a registry scan with CCleaner and I was wondering if maybe that deleted certain files that I needed or something. Thanks in advance for any help

I have microsoft office installed on my pc, but can't find works. I have word, powerpoint, excel. Can I use one of these do make invoices or do I need something else?
If I am remembering right, works allows you to choose from documents, to brouchures, flyers, etc...

I have to be able to work in multiple programs simultaneously but that's my only requirement. I can keep from saving songs and photos. I don't play graphic intensive games. Occassionally I download and edit movies from my camcorder.

Will the cheap $699 work?

I'm just curious. i want to know if this would work:

I have a folder called "NEW FOLDER 1"

I put a shorcut to a word document inside "NEW FOLDER 1"

I want to click on "NEW FOLDER 1"... and instead of opening the folder to view the file... i want to open the file automatically.



can it be done?

i just want to see if this is a valid quirk.

I have a windows XP platform.

Thanks.

Shame

every time i try to boot my other computer, i get a blue screen that says i need to check new software to be installed correctly. I didn't install any new software. It also says that i need to remove any new software if the problem continues. It has, and i don't know what to do because i can't actually get into windows. i have tried booting in safe mode and it gives me the same thing. at the top of the screen it has something that looks like command script. it says... UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. does anybody have a clue what is wrong with my computer??? or maybe what i can do to fix it

I have an excel file that has a list of data (around 40,000 lines) and some tables running off it.

It gets bigger and bigger (currently 10mb), but if I compress it into a .zip it gets smaller again <2mb.

Why is excel so wasteful, and can I do the same thing in excel?

Thanks!

The speed of my computer has slowed down significantly, the only thing different that I've done is installed Microsoft Office 2007. Could this have negatively impacted processing speed? If so, what can be done to help? If not, what other problems may cause this and what are the solutions?

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

I need to write a java program that asks the user to enter 2 numbers, x and y, and prints the remainder of x divided by y.

I know how to do this, its not the problem, my question is, how do you do it without using a java modulo operator?

I know how to write the script, im just not sure how to find a remainder of something without using mod - Only using division, multiplication and subtraction -


Thanks

Hello all!
This is my first post here.
My Sony VAIO LCD computer monitor (4 years old) has a problem since the last week.
When starting up after being off for a prolonged time (monitor light amber), eg., when coming out of hibernation or standby, the monitor does not go on immediately, but blinks on and off for a few minutes. During this time the monitor indicator is blinking green and the computer indicator light is on. I can see glimpses of the desktop during the on periods. The on periods gradually increase, and then after some minutes it stays on without any further problems. Can anyone help me with this? I have scanned for viruses and the computer is clean. The only new thing is that I installed hi-speed internet several weeks ago, but it was fine until last week.
Thanks!
