Computers & Internet - 2 December 2007

I have a HP PSC 1110 all-in-one and it has been doing quite a great job for printing and scanning needs for a long time.

However I have discovered that recently that when it is switched on, it makes a terrible and irritating noise that sounds like screwed-up gears. But after that, the printer operates normally.

I want to know the source of this problem and also possible solutions to this issue.The noise is loud and unpleasant to the years and I want to fix it.

Any help and assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to extend the life of my current computer do you think it is worth it or should I just buy a new one. I plan on doing some gaming and also some video editing. Today I purchased the following:

1. 320GB EIDE Western Digital Hard drive for $79, currently have the stock 160GB planning on reinstalling Windows XP on the new one and making the current stock 160GB my D drive.

2. Kingston 1GB DDR PC3200 RAM for $54, currently have 1.5GB, planning on replacing the 512MB with the 1GB stick to have a total of 2GB.

3. ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB AGP video card, got it on sale at Best Buy for $99. Is this a good card ???

4. CompUsa 500 watt PSU for $59, are CompUsa PSU's any good ???


So for about $300 do you think it will be worth it and do you think the combination will work OK ?? Or should I just save a few more months and purchase a new computer with a Quad Core, etc. ??? Please let me know what you all think. Thanks for any info. God Bless !

My HP computer has an S Video IN and RCA connections for audio. I presume I should then be able to get some kind of software to access these inputs. I want to connect a vcr using the S Video IN and these RCA jacks.

What software do I need to use that will recognize the video/audio from these connections?

Thanks!

I have cable internet connection which uses a router. My internet connection is down very often through out the day every day. Everytime it is down, I would have to unplug the internet cable connection from my router, then replug it in again, over and over and over, until my internet connection works again..... What is wrong with my internet connection? Do I just have a defective router or is it my internet provider's fault ? Which means, I should call my internet provider about this?

I purchased Vista for my computer about 9 months ago and have not liked it since. I got a steal on the 64 bit version and made all the necessary upgrades to accomodate it. I have had to upgrade everything except for the monitor. I cannot play many of the old games that XP was able to play. I really dislike like it and, at this point in time, will not be buying another PC in the future.

Does anyone else feel the same about Vista? Is Windows planning on adding any fixes to correct the problems?

Long story short, I don't have any security set up on my wireless router (don't ask why, again, long story), and I will not have it up for another couple of days. I HAVE changed the admin password, however, so no one can do anything with that. When I go look at who's connected, there's like 5 or 6 devices/computers listed that shouldn't be there. It gives me their IP addresses and their MAC addresses. What are some fun things I can do to these people so that they won't want to connect to my router again? Any ideas? Thanks!
