HI,firstly i want to say thanks for the users who helped me to solve my last problem i.e of realtek sound card...
Here my second problem :(

IM USING WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION (V4.10.2222 A)
MY SYSTEM,WINDOWS AND DEVICES ARE IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION BUT THERE IS A MINOR PROBLEM
OF SHUTDOWN...(remember it happens after applying unofficial win98se Service Pack 2.1a)
WHEN I TRIED TO SHUTDOWN OR RESTART MY PC THEN SYSTEM HALTED (HANGED)
PLZ REMEMBER THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT OCCURED WHEN USING WINDOWS 98SE WITHOUT UNOFFICIAL WIN98SE SERVICE PACK 2.1A...
HEY LISTEN IF HAVE FOUND A ANOTHER REASON COULD YOU GUIDE ME THAT AM I RIGHT OR WRONG,.....HERE IS THE REASON,
BEFORE SP 2.1 THERE IS A "DISABLE FAST SHUTDOWN" OPTION IN MSCONFIG (SYSTEM CONFIGRATION UTILITY) THIS OPTION WAS ENABLED THEN AFTER INSTALLING SP 2.1 THIS OPTION DISAPPEARS IT MEANS THAT MY PC CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH FAST SHUTDOWN CAPABLITY CAN YOU TELL ME IS THERE IS ANY SOLUTION THAT CAN I DISABLE FAST SHUTDOWN.

I have a HP color LaserJet 2600n and it is for a business that prints a lot on card stock paper. It is not that old of a printer and the ink is starting to bleed to other parts of the paper. We tried cleaning it and doing all that HP says to do with it and nothing helps.
If we print one page at a time it helps but doing this for 800 sheets and waiting between each print at a time is ridiculous.
Is there something that we can do? Do we need to replace the drum faster because of printing on card stock? Or something else I have not thought of.
Also if someone knows of a better printer that works very good on card stock that would be helpful.

Thanks

I tried a system restore and that helped a little. And when I visit some web pages, my internet says that it has a problem and shuts down. What do I do? Thank you.

My memory stick, without any warning, suddenly crashed when I last inserted it in a USB slot. Now I don't know what to do or if I can still retrieve data I stored in it. I have really important stuff in there. I'm still holding to the thought that there is hope but I need realistic facts.

After it crashed, whenever I insert it the PC does the usual recognize usb device then Autoplay notice but it doesn't show the stored items then after 5 mins, it sends a "hardware not formatted. Format it now?" notice

Both my pc and my 360 use my monitor through VGA cables. I'm sick of switching cables every time I switch consoles, is there some sort of splitter/adapter that lets me have both plugged in at once and flick a switch when I want to change (like in the good old days with the console/av switcher)?

When i turn on my computer it usually goes to a screen where it says "press DEL to enter setup" and stuff like that, then to the windows xp loading screen. Now when i turned it on it stays frozen on that first startup screen and i cant push or click anything. I can hear the computer running like it normally does. What could have caused this problem?

I am in the market for a new computer for my kids to use at home (three kids in grade school). My old computer is 7 years old so I just need a good PC that the kids can use to do school work and basic games. Going to the computer sites there are a lot of options. What should I consider as mandatory basics considering I want this computer to last me a few years.

Thanks for the input!
