My printer keeps printing test pages in the background of the pages I do want to print. As a result, I can't read anything I print because it's all covered up basically by the test pages' non-stop characters. I've tried deleting all print jobs, turning the printer on and off, pressing the power button to reset. Nothing's working. Help! Please don't answer this unless you know what you're talking about. Thanks.

I recently bought a Dell E310. I re-installed Windows XP Home because I HATE all the crap they put on. Now, I was in the set-up menu and there were 2 partitions! I choose the one with the biggest storage (56 Gb) and installed. Problem was that the computer wouldn't boot the operating system! Then I installed it on the other that only had 18 Gb. It finally booted, but now I have 2 local disks! One has Windows installed the other is just free space! Why did it split up like that? It is a Serial ATA drive if that helps. I just want to combine the two or use the bigger storage space and have only ONE local disk.

Okay, my pc got fried (literally, it just started not turning on, but then one day when I was reconnecting the plug over and over like I usually would it started smoking and there was that awkward burning plastic smell), and I've left it alone for approximately a month or so. Now, I'm finally buying a power supply for it, because I think that's what will solve the problem (tell me if you think otherwise).

now, tomorrow I'm going to open up the tower and take a gander at how many watts the power supply now on pc has. As for buying a power supply, should I be buying something with MORE watts and or other stuff? (tell me if it is otherwise?)

I already have an mp3 player, but I really want the video capabilities so I can watch the shows I've missed. I'm sure I can probably find a cheaper way to do that. Any ideas?

I want a good card that can play games decently and smoothly.

Also I have an integrated video card. Do I have to uninstall it? Do I have to reinstall my OS?

(If this helps)

I want something that can run GTA III and WarRock in a smooth and descent manner.
