I've tried everyting I could think of. I've turned off computer and unpluged scanner, I've tried to reinstall the program, I've messed around with all the colors and clarity etc. I can't seem to get it fixed.
It won't even scan and print a typed paper.
When I scan the photo it shows up on the screen with the photo being a green color with horizontal lines running through it.
The empty part of the screen shows a turquoise color.
When I scan B&W it comes out with solid lines running horizontally and looks the photo is all beat up.
If anyone could help I'd sure appreciate it...thanks a lot!

I have an old Laptop (5 Years) that the HD died and I just got a new Maxtor 300 GB external HD. I put in the Windows XP disc and ran it but when I selected the external HD it said it couldn't install it because the partition didn't have the correct rights and to contact the maker of the HD to resolve the issue. Has anyone else seen this error and how do I get rid of it so I can install XP?

I've tried everyone there is and none work for me. I honestly think that DVD-RW technology is flawed and that no burner or software really works well. Maybe one day hardware and software will get it together and put forth a decent DVD-RW package.

I've currently got Asus P5NSLI, since when I bought it, I didn't even consider overclocking. Now, however, I want to pull more power out of the chip, so I've started looking around for a better board. I've read that boards with nforce 570 chipset are not good for overclocking. And I'll probably have to agree with that, since when I tried to use the on-board overclocking feature, the computer got stuck and I had to reset BIOS so that it'd work again.
What should I be looking at when buying, considering I've never done overclocking? Not looking for features; stability and simplicity are my main concerns. Also, don't want to push that cpu too far, only up to 3Ghz or so. Will use it with Kingston 1Gb 667Mhz DDR2, might upgrade to 2Gb yet unlikely due to little gain compared to the price.
Looking to spend under $220.
I'm not planning to buy right now, waiting for something to come out that will fit all criteria, so right now just looking for general info.

1. Nice speed 1.4 GHz and above
2. Hard drive 40 GB or above
3. DVD ROM or even DVD writer
Is it possible to get something like this for say less than $400?

I'm not sure what the "technical name is but each time I would access a site, there would be a meter bar that would go from left to right showing the progression the computer was making getting into that site. It was clear down on the bottom of the monitor. I would love to have it back and have no idea on how to retrieve it. Please tell me how to put it back on.

I want to get a new graphics card for windows vista, but my computer only has a PCI-Express x1 and a PCI slot. It is difficult to find one for PCI-Express x1 and I heard that PCI graphic cards don't preform too well.

I'm looking at either the Logitech Ultra Vision or the Creative Live! Ultra

...and possibly the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP or the Logitech QuickCam Fusion.

Which is better in your opinion? Money is not a factor. Are there any bad experiences with any of these?
