I need to scan documents to my external harddrive, but this HP has its own program and automatically sends all scans to this as bitmap, without even giving me the option to change it to a PDF ( i have scansoft pdf creator) and send it to my hard drive, can you disable this HP so that it opens in a more usable program

Hi! just bought this new belkin router, and their website is really not helpful. I called the help hotline and it was a nonexistient number. So... can anyone talk me through the process of adding a password when I connect to the network? A lot of unauthorized people have been stealing my internet and making it slow, and I need a password to keep them out.

Just a quick check. I have a motherboard that supports a SATA hard disk (1.5 Gb/s). I have a SATA II hard disk (3.0 Gb/s).

Am I right in saying that my motherboard will still recognise the hard disk but I'll only be able to get the 1.5 Gb/s transfer speed (similar to the way USB 1.0 connections still see USB 2.0 peripherals but transfer is only at USB 1.0 speed).

I've seen statcounter.com online before, is it a business tool for a website or can it be used on a home computer to track activity? If so what can it track?

I have a piece of junk computer that has Windows ME on it. Well, I am attempting to wipe everything off of the computer and install Windows XP Professional. So, I really don't know what I'm doing. I just popped in the Windows XP disk and let it do whatever and now it says there are fatal errors. I can just throw away the computer because I was just testing it out anyway, but I've been given another computer that has Windows 98 and I want the XP on it! What do I do to fix both computers?

I am planning to update my computer and so I want to sell my old stuff to give space for the new one. But I don't know what shop/place buys second hand computer parts (especially the monitor since I already have two of them, both in excellent condition).

The rounter is Actiontec. The other Desktop will be 3 floors up from where the router is located. Could you recommend a wireless card that would give me a good signal?

When you're on this answer site do you see this color ad that says: "Wanted product testers" and "Free Macbook"? It's on here constantly and does this woman in this skin tight shirt distract you??

I have an XP desktop computer which is about 7 years old now. It is still in good working condition but we have decided to upgrade to a newer system for our new office. So we want to make the old computer available for my sister to use in the old office and network it to our router as the main computer on the network. But the computer has no ethernet connection.

How would I go about getting a card so that we can create a wired connection to the router? I believe I would need an internal network card. Are these easy to install and set-up? I am a hardware beginner and have never fitted anything like that before. I have had a look on eBay and you can get them on there from people who are selling used parts.
