The printer was not turned on, but was plugged in. The power to the house went out and then came right back on. The next time I went to use the printer...nothing. I can only assume it took a surge but am wondering if I replace the AC power adapter if it will work again. Is the printer itself blown or just the power supply since the printer wasn't on?

When I got my computer I purchased the McAfee Firewall Plus and VirusScan with it. It came with a CD that I uploaded to my computer and then I had the Personal Firewall Plus and VirusScan working fine. But now it says,"0 days left!Your Anti-Hacker Protection Has Expired!
Always browse, bank and shop online with up-to-date firewall protection. McAfee makes it easy to choose the right solution."
I would like someone to explain how my anti-hacker protection has expired, meaning for some reason the Firewall and not the VirusScan, if I bought the software and downloaded it to my computer?

Exactly two(2) days ago, I was ripping music using Window Media Player and my system froze up. In order to close the program, I had to disconnect using the power switch on my tower/hard-drive. Upon rebooting, I received a system error message stateing," Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt; Windows root>/system 32/hal.dll." Please re-install a copy of the above file. My question is,(How do I accomphish this now that I'm not able to re-boot my system?) Your assistance and U guys are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ole-Skool.

The site I found with the best cards was AmericanGreetings.com but they make you sign up for a "free" account requiring a credit card - which gets charged after a month if you don't cancel. Every other site I found via google had lame cards.

Do you know of any good free sites?

this morning my laptop monitor stopped working correctly. when you open it, it comes on until you get to a certain angle,then it goes black. but if you open it all the way flat it comes back on. help! Is it cheaper to replace the laptop, or the monitor attached to it? Could it be a pinched wire?

the ram chips and graphics cards are not damaged, what other damage could this have caused?

I have a Dimension E510 . The computer was shut down and will not restart.
The funny thing is the powere button is blinking. I have unplugged everything
replugged and nothing. Still the blinking power button. I called Dell, my warranty is out
but they tried to help. They told me to unplug and then try. Obviously nothing.
They seemed to think i would need advanced troubleshooting. Before I pay, any ideas?

It is only running at 104MHz ! I've gone into CMOS setup & got the Core speed running at 1300MHz. Rated FSB is 208 MHz but Bus speed only 104 MHz !. OK, I know the board is a bit of a dinosaur ! but i like it. The BIOS gives lots of options 'SOFT' utilities ect. The Mother board is a VIA (KT133A), Model 8363-686A. What should i be looking to change in the CMOS setup ? Thanks to anyone giving this article their attention.

Well what would be my best choice, for sharing a high speed connection between my friends house and mine. Now like i said it's about 400-500ft between our house's but the thing is there is some pretty thick woods in between us but i can still see his house. threw the brush, trees and what not. I have looked at a ton of different canntena's and other types of yagi antenna's...etc. i dont mind spending top dollar for results but i just dont want invest in all the antenna's and stuff for it not work, well at least from what i have heard wifi doesnt work very well threw trees .
The only thing i can think of is a 500ft Ethernet cord and yes they sell them...I don't know.... let me know what you think would be the best for me. I'm willing spend upwards to $500 for a working internet connection thats faster then dial up...even 56kbps. Oh and P.S. don't you think it's stupid that i cant get the only bought out town cable company to come hook up internet for me but they can 400ft away....
