When I put "Fearless" into my laptop it will play fine. But when I put "The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the ring" in it doesn't show up in my computer. The computer acts as if there is no DVD in the drive. I am using windows XP. How can I play these DVDs on my PC?

I have noticed that when my computer is showing 0% charge remaining; it runs for another hour and half at least. Obviously the charge is not the one my computer is showing. Is there something wrong with the battery? How can I make the computer to show the correct aprox time?

I have an HP895 printer (had for 8 years) with a NEW oem cartridge that was installed two months ago. It was working fine. While in the middle of printing colorful text (first pages were fine), I could see & hear that it was running out of ink, so I stopped it quickly.

I immediately refilled the color that was missing, using a needle kit w/ink specifically designed for this cartridge (HP23). I put the cartridge back and it printed fine for about 1/4 page, then streaks. No amount of cleaning pages improved it. Obviously there's no clog (it was working mins ago)

IMPORTANT: about a month ago, I refilled 2 of the 3 colors--BEFORE they went empty--in this same cartridge, and it was working fine!

I smashed open the last cartridge. Has just a sponge in the reservoir, and metal screens at the print head, and membrane between the two areas. I don't understand the function, but I think my trouble is a "feature" of the membrane.

Damn HP and their greed! Can anyone help??

just swapped out a old motherboard for a slightly newr motherboard. Before I swapped I checked the amount of RAM on the new one(on RAM cards, duh) and it said like 95. So I decided I'd put the other set I had in(around 200??). When I reinstalled onto Hard Drive it told me 68Mb of RAM which is way off. So I put the other ones in and it says 95. I had to install win98 and then upgrade to xp(currently upgrading) because my xp disk is a burnt copy. The problem though is why is it reading the incorrect amount of RAM?It seems to be running fine and dandy, but worried none the less. Also will XP correct this "F" up?
