THe printer I have used to print, but all of a sudden it just stopped. Everything is ok. THere's paper loaded in the tray, there's still ink, it's connected to the computer, and the computer knows that it's there, but it won't print. When I go to print a page, the computer looks like it's preparing to print, but it never does.

Is there something wrong with the system?

My account was locked because of some name match, and I want to delete it. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this with ym account locked! So wondering, if you just leave the account locked, will they ever have access to your bank info still. And I want to set up another paypal with the same bank info but ym wife's name, since we have a joined bank account. Can you do that?

I am attempting to share an internet connection across once computer. When I try to enable windows ICS I get the message that the LAN already has assigned the needed IP to another object. As far as I have been able to figure out, the IP is 192.168.0.1 This is the IP my internal adapter needs to be set to, however it is also the IP that my wireless router is using for itself. Is there a way to fix this problem? I can't find a way to reassign my router. If it helps, it is a comcast modem/router box.

My friend has this virus on her computer and I haven't quite figured it out yet.. but, she says it takes IE at least 30 minutes to load and she is completely unable to sign onto any instant messangers or her email.

She says she has done a virus scan, but she does not have any way of removing them. Also, it would be best for a free program. [if not, maybe a trial will work as well?]

Would a program like Avast! Virus Cleaner would be okay?
