In my printer guide it says to only use genuine epson cartridges because using a refill cartridge like they sell at staples for considerably less could affect print quality and even damage my printer.

Is this really true can the cheaper printer cartridges damage it?

Is it difficult to install a DVD burner into an HP tower? I have installed more RAM with no problem. Is this something I can handle on my own, or should I pay the $40 to have it installed?

I left my laptop open last night on my desk while i was asleep and apparently my two kittens wanted to walk all over the keyboard. The screen has not rotated to the left which makes it difficult to use my computer. Basically the scroll bar thats normally on the bottom is now on the left, and instead of typing left to right, its going top to bottom. It cant be that hard if my kittens changed it right? Any suggestions would be great!

It happens with new driver installed and with different computers so the video card output is not the issue. Any sugeestions, this was a "factory refurb".

I have a Compaq that has been acting up lately. I had Windows XP Home Ed. installed on it. I was having problems because windows would not even load up. I attempted to perform full recovery on the hard drive. But it would freeze on the process. I assumed it must have been a windows, so I decided wipe everything and install Linux Mandrake on that machine. The computer still freezes during the linux intallation process. What could be causing this?

i have a sis 730 motherboard with onboard graphics,now in the bios you have a option to set the shared memory,and it goes up to 64mb
does that mean i can have 64mb graphics,cause i know the onboard graphics have agp acceleration,were as my radeon 9250 pci-bus graphic card(128mb)has not
so is it worth me using the onboard graphics over the radeon 9250,as i will loose 64mb but gain agp acceleration
the board has a agp slot(x2,x4 compatible),but i havent got a agp card yet,so that will be my next upgrade
any ideas
