Help! My monitor/ screen resolution (the colours in the display, im not sure of the correct term) of my computer (pentium 4, windows XP) are all screwed up. It looks like the computer is running in safe mode, but it isn't. It was all screwed up after my brother ran a game, rebooted the computer and uninstalled the same game. Already tried a system restore and fiddled with the monitor options and the colours are still screwy. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Or what i could try to fix it?

Hello everyone,
i'm a developer and i have all kinds of servers running on my computer. so i need really powerful anti-virus and firewall to secure my system. i've been using norton internet security for years, but it's such huuuuuge pain in the butt. i've decided to abandon norton internet security from now on and use symantec antivirus instead. most of my friends told me that symantec antivirus is an awesome choice (and i can get it from school for free). but i've never used it before and uncertain if it's suitable for me.

do you think this is the right move?
what would be your recomandation?

thanks!

There are more than enough places to get codes from, so please save the "Learn CSS" gibberish. I have yet to see an artist page that has a background. Plenty of manipulation to the layout but nothing in the back. Can someone please explain this? Is it lack of knowledge or is it different than a regular myspace page? And if you would be very nice, please explain where to place the code. I'm sure more people will link to this question as more artists become frustrated looking on how to do this, Thank You.

My boyfriend blames me for this problem but I have no clue why. He used to be able to play DVD's, AVI's, etc. on his computer. The DVD's would play with Media Player, the AVI's with DiVX. He says that one day, out of the blue, he couldn't play ANY movies on his computer anymore. I tried to install a new media player for him, which worked fine on my computer for all movie formats, so that he could enjoy his movies agian. The program installed fine, but when I put a disk in the drive, it wouldn't play. I checked the D drive and it wouldn't even recognize that a disk was present. My boyfriend thinks I did something on purpose because the movies he wanted to watch were porn. I don't care about the porn so much as the working condition of a computer he brought less than 8 months ago. Why did it play movies then but now won't? Help me fix his computer please!!!

I have a Brother MFC 440 CN which I don't recommend buying. It looks flash, but the color ink runs out quickly even when you're only printing black and white. When only one cartridge is empty, it won't print period.

My question is, is it possible to take the printer apart and manipulate the ink sensors so that I can just print with black ink. Customer support of course could only suggest buying the expensive color cartridges (at 28 bucks a pop!) I'd be buying a cartridge every three weeks (and I don't even print in color),

Thanks!!

It's for my mother's CIS 100 course...

The two matching section questions she needs help with are:

1. A software program that runs on your computer and helps you access Web pages.

2. Helps you find information by searching the Web for any pages that meet your specifications.

The choices we narrowed it down to for these questions are:

c) browser
g) server
o) search engine
h) URL

The other question is:

What is an always-on connection? Why is it convenient?


Thanks so much for any help!
