Hardware - November 2006

I keep getting a variety of messages such as: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Another time it might be "one of your discs needs to be checked for consistency" or "DISK BOOT FAILURE" or " A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED" I might add that the computer is only a few months old. I have just had the hard drive replaced to so say cure this problem. I am just wondering what else it might be? I have to say that it does eventually boot up but there is obviously something amiss. Any thoughts please?

I would like to buy a printer that can print on heavy paper stock (up to 360 lb, but more often in the 200-260 lb range). The Canon i9100 I'm currently using doesn't do this at all. It can't feed the paper through correctly. I have looked at the Epson 2400, but am not sure if that will work any better.

Does anyone have any printer recommendations that can handle printing on heavy weight, uneven-surface paper? I'm not printing photos, but rather colored vector shapes.

thanks!

I have an inexpensive Radio Shack keyboard (Model: MD-501), which I want to use as a midi controller. It has a single barrel-shaped midi output. I know it's not the greatest, but I still want to use it. What type of midi cable do I need? I have a Soundblaster card with a midi input (squarish and flat). Please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject.

I have a Dell Inspiron 700 m laptop. In the box below the keyboard, which controls the mouse, I used to be able to scroll up and down on a website or document, by sliding my finger up or down on the right hand side of that little square. Now it is not working, and I dont know if there is any way I can fix it myself using the computer settings, or whether it is a physical problem and I have to have it looked at. Does anyone know?

When I put new ink cartridges in the printer, every time we turn it on it prints out a test page. How do I stop this happening as it wastes so much ink!
