Computers & Internet - 26 November 2007

About a week ago the status was to notify Paypal when I received the item back from seller because he said there was not the item in the box but some items were there... anyway... so I was supposed to notify them of that. Well I checked over the weekend and it said "being reviewed by paypal representative"? Ok now all it says is case closed and funds are no longer on hold. Does that mean they changed their minds and I won? Or what? I looked online in their help section and got none... now Ive been on hold for like 10 mins... just trying to see if anyone else went through this

Hi, I have a laptop which is bluetooth enable and an HP psc 2410 photosmart and also a regular USB bluetooth dongle.

Is there a way to connect my laptop to that printer via bluetooth?
Do I need to buy a new printer server or can I just buy a kind of adapter so I can stick my USB bluetooth dongle in it?

If yes, what kind of adapter should I buy?

Thanks.

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with a 305w power supply
Do I need to upgrade my power supply to run this graphics card.

I've never had any problems with my power supply before.

Also, does any PC power supply work with any PC?

Thanks

I have been wondering this for a while now but when i look under system proporties my computer lists that it has an intel pentium 4 processor runing at 3.20 and 3.21GHz. And when i open the task manager it has two different graphs for the processor. At times one graph will spike while the other stays flat so im pretty sure its not a mistake that there is two graphs. Is this just an error or does it actually have two cores. My other computer also has a pentium 4 processor however it shows that there is only one core running at 3.0 GHz, and in the task manager there is only one graph. If you can plz tell me what you think is in my computer or what you think is wrong with my computer.

When it gets to typing in the serial, I click "No" because I do not have one, I lost it, and you do not need one. It crashes, and stops responding. I can't get it to continue. Is it because maybe my CD? It's kind of scratched up, not VERY, so please don't say "Of course." Should I get a new CD, and do you think that will fix it?
