I cannot have more than one piece of paper. If I feed one piece a time, sometimes it will be okay but others it jams half way. Please send me detail step by step how to open and/or clean, etc.

My IT knowledge is less than a child's ability to talk at one year of age LOL I know the price of printers is low so those who have good knowledge please advise how to fix or do I dump it.

Also tell me the advantages and disadvantages of wireless printers. Thank you

It's a double sided stick of RAM, but It reads not all of my memory. it rips me off 128mb.
Is it a driver issue, or motherboard or what.

Windows XP, dynamic disks (or basic)...either way.

Do you have to reformat the drive from the get go?

I have played around in disk management, as well as with 3rd party partitioning software...and the results lead me to think that you have to format the drive from the beginning so that it has unpartitioned space.

Am I right, or wrong? If I'm wrong, what's the procedure?

Where my bf lives, there are like 3 different connections from other neighbors but the connection is really low. All 3 connections are locked anyways. I saw on his connections and one of those three when I pressed connect, I noticed there was a password. I pressed connect and it said connected with little or no connectivity. Once it says connected, those that means that is the right password? Can a password appear there by itself? I asked him how he got the password and he said he has no idea and that he doesn't even know about that stuff. He said that that connection used to be opened before but then they changed it to locked. Is there a way that the password can appear there by itself?

ok, so i have a laptop, the hp dv6000 which is notorious for the wireless card failure(i disregarded this when it happened), but when my mother turned it on with out plugging in the power cord in(only had the battery in) the computer emitted a long beep followed by 2 short beeps, and the monitor never turned on.

What do i do to fix this?

how come when i go to system requirements lab and see if i can run a game,at the bottom where it says the results it says that

Your driver version number is: 6.14.10.6734

Your video card driver version is provided for your information, but it is not part of this analysis. But proper video card driver versions are important to the proper operation of your product.

so i click on the free video card update,but it takes me to AMD's website.but i already have the latest catalyst version 7.11 so why is the driver out-of-date?and where can i get the latest one?thanks.

When I open Internet Explorer, it says something about a DNS error in the status bar and I get an error message (Sorry, I can't remember how it was now).

Anyway, I test the connection on my wireless and wired connections. Turns out I have a problem with the following ports-

http: 80
https: 443
ftp: 21.

Also, I tried using Windows Live Messenger and it came up with an error code of 80072ee7.

I have Windows XP, BTW.

I just got a new HP laptop. I have already had to get the keyboard replaced because I key was off when I purchased it last Saturday. Best buy did it when I brought it back since they had no more to switch it out for. Since then, I have had two other problems. First, the battery only lasts 1 hour maybe 1 1/2 hour on the recommended power save options. Second, the computer froze yesterday. I could not get it to unfreeze. It was frozen for 15 minutes. The clock stopped so I know. The keyboard would not respond (if I pressed caps lock the light would not light and the wireless switch stayed lit too even if I turned it off). Also, the power switch would not respond. I had to eject the battery to get it to come back on. Is this normal? Should I return this computer to best buy for a refund?

I have a windows vista operating system on an Acer computer. I keep getting alerts that my C: drive is full. So, I have deleted or moved almost all of my files. It will say that I have a bunch of space left, and then a few minutes later it will go back to saying I have none. This has been going on for a few weeks now. I have tried defragmenting that drive, I compressed it. I'm all out of things to try. Please help me!

I tried to upgrade my ram thinking all PC2-5300 versions were the same but my mobo only recognized it's original PC2-5300u ram. The RAM's specs were:

I will be getting a new laptop and like most am torn between Dell and Hp. I reallly prefer the look of the HP but most of the HP's that are comparable in price to a Dell with similar specs have an AMD Athlon 64X2. This is the only way the HP's can compete in price with the Dell. I was particularly looking at a Dell Vostro 1400 or 1500 vs an HPdv6605Ca. The Hp is on sale right now at future shop for 749 and the comparable Dell is 919. Not sure if I should go with the HP or Dell. I hate the look of the Vostros, they are so boring but it's what's inside that counts right? This is why I'm so torn. Also the Dell has basic microsoft office included whereas the HP has only the trial version.
I really need help fast cause I'm planning to purchase on Monday! I want the notebook for X-mas!

I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 I got it about 2 1/2 years ago and all of a sudden the battery will not charge and the power charger has to be in a funky position to turn the computer on. I want to know how I can fix these problems if they are worth fixing. If they aren't is there a good way to get money for my old one.
