i refilled my hp ink cartridge # 28. before i refilled it, it is working fine, but after the refilling, the cyan color doesn't print. but i can see that the cyan color comes out of the printer head, but for some reason it doesn't reach the paper.

I am wondering which processor would be better for gaming, a 3.2GHz or so P4 or a 2.2GHzish PD. If you really know what you are talking about I would only get the 6xx series of P4 and the 9xx series of PD so adjust your answer accordingly... Thank You.

I need a laptop for college. I always been a pc user but have been told by many people that macbooks are very good. I know it can run both windows and mac os. Only thing i dont like about the macbook is the keyboard.And i heard it gets dirty easily.I dont plan in majoring in graphics or anything like that. Price is not a major consern but considered. So if anyone can help that would be really great. Thanks. Oh. also i heard about Windows Vista, is a macbook windows vista capable? Thanks.

Hi! I need to take the CD-rom out of my Optiflex GX150 to install an upgrade, but it seems unwilling to quit! It's a standard-size IDE drive on green plastic guide rails, which I've pulled outwards and pushed inwards without obviously releasing any kind of catch. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I Just bought a dell XPS M1710 and am not sure if i made the right choice. Now i am just doing some reseach to find out more. Couple of my friends are wanting to but it also but the cost is a throw off.

CNET did say XPS M1710 is the best laptop money can buy today. (for gaming especially)

Please let me know your thoughts.

I've been having problems with this computer. I've re-installed the OS 3 times today. This is the first time it's been re-installed. I'm 99.9% sure that I had more than this before I re-installed the OS. Just before the last time it was re-installed, the drive was reformatted. Where did all my memory go? How do I get it back? I also cannot change the screen resolution. It's stuck at 640 x 480 pixles, and 16 Bit Color.
Specs: Windows XP Home Edition
Dell Dimension 2300

I've already done virus and spyware scans and removed them. The touch pad works, and I can click on things, but cannot type anything. I'd be grateful for any help.

i have a Intel Duo-core T2600 processor in my XPS laptop. I'm wondering what the safest way to overclock it would be without ruining it or other hardware. I have read from xbit that it can be overclocked to safely run at 2.6ghz.

I'm a person who is accustommed to Pentium 4, 3GHz + 128MB Geforce 5200fx, 512mb ram.
I'm thinking about getting a laptop with these qualities(HP NX6310): Celeron M 1,46Ghz, 512mb ram, 128mb integrated/shared graphic card.

I'm willing to give up serious gaming. But I'm concerned about the processor speed. How is Celeron M 1,46Ghz compared to Pentium 4, 3Ghz ?

I'll appreciate *pro* and experienced answers.

So, I'm basically interested in a comparison of my current pc and the HP model I referred to. To see if I can have near the same speed with the cheap laptop.

Thank you

I run xp. I plug in my hd, and it says new hardware installed.

However, I can't access it through my computer. Did some checking and it said to format it in disk management first, but it's not listed there either.

I've tried unhooking it, rebooting, all the basic crap, but I can't find any help anywhere on what to do. Please help!
