I am trying to print documents over a network on my hp LaserJet 1300 Printer. It sends the documents from the printer, but nothing prints. If I turn off the printer and turn it back on again, everything will start printing. Is there something that I can change that will make the documents print automatically? Is this a printer buffer issue?

I have a laptop now, but I'd like to get a new one soon. Would I be able to transfer all my files, etc to the new one somehow? What would I have to do to get everything on one laptop to the other so that everything is pretty much the same, just with an updated computer?

I have been having alot of "lag" problems with my laptop. Lots of memory available, and not alot of programs running. I am specifically have game issues, where typing and playing seem to occur at an extremely slow rate. Have run a virus scan and removed viruses and adware that were on my computer, but the problem persists. My friend who has the same computer as I do just had a major meltdown with his computer for no reason and has had to reinstall his operating system twice now. I am beginning to worry that it is a problem with the computer not with viruses or programs at all. Any suggestions as to what it could be and what to do?

I have my uncle's old hard drive which contains lots of original writings and some family history notes. I would like to copy everything to the drive my mother currently uses (note* - she does not have a CD or anything) and then wipe out everything personal leaving the O/S to be able keep the drive as a back-up or donate the it somewhere.

I thought that maybe easiest would be to bring the hard drive home (my house) and just download to CDs. But this involves hauling the drive across the border and maybe there are simpler possibilities I'm not aware of.

Help please!

What's the best indication that a mobo is defective?

What must you prove in order to accurately determine that a mobo is at fault when you're told a mobo is defective?

In other words, if someone told you a mobo is bad, what questions would you ask to assure yourself that this person is knowledgeable about mobo's?

How do you tell if a mobo is defective....and what can be done to fix a bad mobo?

Excuse my method of questioning but people often say the questions was too vague to answer accurately.....I'm simply trying to make sure everyone understands what I'm asking. I hope this question is clear enough for all.
