OK - weird question I know. My cat (Deborah - hence my screen name) generally lies between my arms on the desk, and I have to type round her. Occasionally, she leans towards the keyboard and hits something that makes all the text go small. I easily change it through 'view' and 'text size'. But what key on the keyboard is she hitting? I can't work it out.

And yes, Deborah is a white long haired cat. And yes, I am sitting in a quite large leather office chair. No, I am not planning the end of the world. (ref Blofeld for anyone who is wondering what I'm on about!)

MY cd-rom is jamming. I can't get into the tray to put in a cd and play music. The PC keeps askilng for the file: F:\enuk\drivers\win2k_xp whenever it is turned on. I did a test on my PC and the results were that my Lucent Win Modem failed. It asked for me to to put in the start up cd in it but, my husband put the PC together and he nor I can find the cd. I tried to find one on the internet to download but couldn't.

My modem keeps freezing and at all times of the night the pc makes strange noises. I think that someone is trying to get into the computer, but my husband doesn't. He thinks we have a virus. We have a virus scan on our PC.

About every 4th or 5th time I power up my laptop it stalls during the boot. It never gets to the "beep" to indicate it has sucessfully booted. I have to force a shutdown (hold power button for 5 sec.) to shut it off and start over. Can anyone tell me what the cause might be.

I tried using the calibration tools on the printer, but the pantone colors are still off. Is there a utility I should be using?

I uninstalled NetZero, and just had a broadband install done. After the technician plugged everything in, it worked. I had to unplug it to move a piece of furniture, plugged everything back in exactly as he did, and now my computer is unable to find an IP address, and just assigns a 169 default. I tried to renew the IP, and a message pops up saying that an IP address could not be found. The broadband company said that the connections are correct on their end, and for "some reason" our laptop is refusing to assign an IP. Firewalls are also disabled. We have no viruses nor spyware either. I am stumped.

go up and down. Now they don't. I know it may sound stupid and a very small problem, but in the past when things ended up changing on my computer, it was virus related so I'm not going to overlook it just because it's nothing major. Doe anyone know why this would happen? Usually the word Volume or Vol. (I forget which) would pop up and then if I lowered the volume the lines would disappear one by one, or if I raised the volume more lines would appear. Now I don't see anything even though I'm changing the volume. It was fine yesterday but now, not so much. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.
