I have the 3 memory card feature onit. I have done pictures. I wanted to put the SD card in the printer, then put mp3's on it and then put them on my phone. I will buy a separate memory card reader/adapter but wanted to see if it could be done on the 4600.

I just bought a laptop With the Pro edition and in order to install a TV tuner I need to have the Media edition.
If I would buy it with the media edition I would pay less money.
What a mistake I made because every one would recommend me the XP Pro

I can't get the Volume level bar indicator back onto my screen. I am NOT talking about the icon on the taskbar which opens up the audio levels box. When I used to adjust the sound/mute buttons on my laptop (Dell Insp,Wind XP Pro) I used to get an auto pop up indicator showing what level the sound was being set to. It has vanished! Help!!!

I work on a computer all day doing transcription. Ever so often, when typing, my work comes out like this- tlsmcji - even though my fingers are on the right keys. I have to shut down the computer and start over. Does anyone know what would cause this? Very annoying. I am not typing on line - I use microsoft word.

Has anybody done this? I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, and have physically broken both sets of USB ports (was dumb enough to carry it around with things plugged in - no lectures please, I know, I know...it was stupid, but it's done now) There is (or was) a pair on the back and a pair on one side.

Has anyone replaced these? How hard is it? Or should I take it someplace to have done? I'm not against paying somebody to have it done if that's the wise way to go, but don't want to be without my laptop for very long.

I'm not the world's expert on computer hardware, but did successfully replace the keyboard on my previous (Dell) laptop.

Thanks for any advice.

I have my LG 37LC2D television:

http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/tv%7Caudio%7Cvideo_lcd%20flat%20panel__37LC2D.jhtml

...hooked up to my Windows XP laptop with a VGA cable (15 pin D-sub connector). The TV will only let me display a 1024x768 picture, which means there are black bars on both sides of the image - or I can stretch the image, but it's still a 1024x768 image. How can I take advantage of the full 1366x768 resolution the TV has? I have tried adjusting every possible display property. I could even use a different cable, but don't know what to use. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

I am looking to buy a laptop for myself. I know nothing about them. I only know how to use them. I am looking for just a basic one so I can put my pictures on it from my digital camera and check my e-mail. Can anyone recommend a good one? I am not looking to pay over $1000 for it.

When I bring up some pages or even an e-mail I seem to be unable to see the last inch or so of the page on my monitor (on the right hand side). Even when I scroll all the way to the right. Somone once told me it was because I needed a larger monitor (I was using a 17"), so now I am using a larger one (I'm now using a 19") and it's still happening. I'm sure there must be something I can do in my preferences or appearances to shrink the page to fit the monitor but I can't seem to figure it out. It's especially prevelent when I have multiple windows open for the work I do on my computer.
Any ideas? Thanking you in advance.................

I have a Dell Inspiron, w/Windows XP pro, and whenever I would adjust the sound level or mute button, a bar indicator would appear on the screen. It has mysteriously vanished! I have looked in all the "help" and "indexs" for a way to restore this, but to no avail. I am sure it is an easy thing I am missing....I think there's a malfunction somewhere between the keyboard and my chair...

When I shut the monitor off, I wait a few seconds before turning it back on. Luckily it stays on after a while.
Any help would be much appreciated.
