My scanner worked somewhat in a round-about way for my XP....
but I absolutely CANNOT get it to work for Vista.

I've setup the compatibility, downloaded numerous drivers...
any advice? Has anyone gotten their Acer 320U Flatbed Scanner to work with Vista.... or is it just too old?

Right now there is a problem with these high-end video cards requiring more than 500 Watts of power minimum, and if things keep going this way they'll require 1000 watts soon..

when will that change?

I have to transfer a some songs onto our other computer. It's kind of old and doesn't have any usb things, so I can't use a flash drive and I don't have the actual cd anymore, either. I have 2 floppy disks that are big enough to hold all the songs but when I put it into the other computer it said that the floppy disk was write protected, so I switched the little tab and put it back in, and it still said it was write protected. I tried it with the other one and the same thing happened. Can floppy disks be permanently write protected? I'm guessing I can't do anything about that then, eh?

Hi all! i need help with my laptop. i used to be able to Download stuff on my laptop all through the night because of the sleep key function.

everytime i pressed the fn+f5 my lcd would turn off and my audio icon would turn red signifying that its also off or on mute(its blue if its on).
when i move my mouse(or press anything) everything would turn back on my download still progressing even though i went to sleep mode.

now just recently every time i press fn+f5 my laptop would go to sleep mode as usual but this time eveything turns off. which includes my mouse, my touch thing on the laptop that also serves as a mouse, the red light that use to signify that my audio is on mute, and most importantly my wi-fi shuts off.
and my download stops completely when my computer turns back on.

keep in mind its not hibernating, its still in sleep. how can i change this?

extra info:
OS: Vista 32
Laptop: HP

anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. i promise 5 stars if it works. ^^

When I turn my wireless off, it goes down to 3-20 CPU usage. I know it is "MY" wirelss that is the problem because I can go to Starbucks and connect no problem. Airports? No problem. Even 4 other connections from my house are able to connect no problem with minimal or nil CPU Usage. I've scanned the internet, but everyone seems to be hung up on checking processes and other items. I believe it is a settin with my Router or an XP automatic download I wasn't aware of. I've had this router for over a year with no problems and no we have issues. I even sent the laptop to acer, who replaced the card under warranty but it still does the same thing. Any ideas out there?

I bought all the components needed to upgrade my computer which is about 13 years old:

ABIT SG-95 INTEL 775 Motherboard
INTEL Celeron 3.2Ghz Processor
DDR2 512MB RAM
40GB HDD
450w x-power PSU (Power Unit)

When I connected up all the parts: - Screwed down the motherboard, put in my processor and fan, connected my CD/DVD Drive, Floppy Drive and Hard Drive and connected up the Audio Cables. (I've also connected all the cables aswell at this point.) Now For the question.
My old Power Button has two wires coming from it, One has a label with IR (Infra Red), the holes go like o-ooo the other brances out into two cables again, one with holes like o-o-oo-o and the other with holes like oooo. (o = Hole - =Blank Space). There is a picture of my motherboard on this site http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/Abit_SG-95/12.JPG i've tried linking my power button up to this but its only the proc. fan that spins around, the computer will not turn on. What could be wrong? Help me.
