I have thie older computer, it used to run very slow. It had a 10G hard drive, 256 MB ram, not sure about the processor. Anyway, I upgraded the hard drive to a 120G, put a CD-RW and DVD-ROM drive in, and also put several other new things in. Also added Windows XP, it had 2000. It took almost 2 days to install windows, and right now, it takes sooo long to do anything. Whats the deal?

Adopted the printer. Says that there isn't any black ink. The cartridge is so full it sloshes. Everything "looks" fine in there - the tube is connected. I don't think it's clogged because if it were that, it would at least ATTEMPT to print.

It won't let me do a cleaning or alignment or anything until I get this problem fixed (which is annoying).

Should I go buy another ink cartridge to see if that fixes the problem? And if I do buy one and it doesn't work, are you able to return it? I wouldn't think so but a lot of stores do amazing things sometimes.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks for your help and have a great day!

Amy

I want to know if it is possible to add three monitors to a single PC.
Right now, I have a single LCD montor attached to my PC. However I want to add two more.

I have Win XP OS running and so I can span the desktop and stick in another monitor therefore having two dsiplays.

But I was thinking about adding another graphics card with dual ports and together with my single port graphics card and so I have three displays. Will this work?

I actually want to clone my spanned desktop to the two new monitors. Could I do that too?

Its not just dirt inside the mouse cause I opened it and cleaned it. and the cursor is stable but there seems to be a sensation like alot of magnitism in the mouse that trying to keep me from moving it in the direction I want to move it. Its like something if pushing it the other way. I have to force it to move in the direction I want to go. spyware? When the magnitism isn't there, the mouse rolls easily across the screen. and I tried diferent mouses and its still there. The only one that is strong enough to combat that resistanced is my ball mouse that has the big blue ball on top.win98se
