Hardware - July 2006

I have a desk computer and a laptop. I spend a lot of time in waiting rooms with my mother, dur to her illness. Because I am homed schooled I have very little social life with other children my age. I play games on the lap top to pass time or use it to break the ice with potential friends. As you can imagine it is difficult keeping disk undamaged in transport. so I was wondering can I download the game of life in a way I would not need the disk when away from home?

Worked perfect for two years until I changed cartridges, not for Epson, now paper blank. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, nothing. The printer is recognising the cartridges and telling me how much ink is left. Can anyone help?

I have a Maxtor 250 GB HD with a corrupt operating system (cannot even load safe mode). I'm going to do a factory restore but need to transfer some critical files first. I can't daisy-chain it with my other PC in the house as it does not have the same type of internal HD cable (the Maxtor uses a small flat red cable that plugs into a small "L" shape on the board, my other computer's HD uses the much wider ribbon style connection. Is there an adapter I can get to plug the Maxtor into a USB port on my other PC?

I hear its better to leave the computer running "On" and just have the monitor "off" when not in use. If you keep rebooting On and Off daily that can damage your computer. This was information given to me many years ago. Is this still true or ever true?

This is to expand my "trying to open my computer"question. Anyway,

-I have a Dell Dimension 3000 Series
-Whenever I trys to open my desktop, a message says "Cannot Display This Video Mode", no matter how much time I trys to restarted it.

PS: does this have to do with "F2" and "F12" at the save mode?
