I have been on lots of websites trying to find usb drivers that will work on my machine. I have a windows 98 with about 400 mhz processor. When I connect my usb device to the computer it says that the driver cannot be found. Anyone know what is going on and do you have any websites specifically that will help me. I have been over google so don't say search google. Have you got any idea which website will give me what I need.

Here's the deal. I moved my computer and printer into another room of my house, and now my printer will not print instantly.

It's a HP Photosmart 3200 series. The setting is on Ready; it's on Print directly to printer, but when I try to print, it saves the print job. And the Windows Hardware Wizard keeps popping up saying the hardware is unknown. So I went through the Add Hardware Wizard three times and it keeps saying the driver is unknown.

An HP tech has tried to help me, but failed. It's driving me nuts. LOL. What could be the problem?

I just finished getting a laptop setup perfectly.

Now, All I want to do, is make a backup onto a DVD, incase I need to restore the entire laptop again.

Is there software to easily (EASILY!) make a DVD that is bootable and it overwrite the hard disk?

Read explainations but they dont seem to make much sense! Could somebody explain to me what a raid array does in plain english?

I know that RAIDing several drives allows teh computer to see them as one big drive but thats about as far as I understand!!

Thanks in advance!!

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS920. I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium. I have upgraded the RAM to 1.5 GB. However, when I run the Window Vista Upgrade Advisor, it says that my video card (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 with up to 128MB Dynamically Shared Video Memory) may not display Aero. Is this true? I'd like to know if I need a new video card now before I get the upgrade rather than later.

I know how to do CTRL+V to paste, but I'm a programmer and doing a lot of copy/paste is hard on my pinkie fingers. I have an emachines keyboard with a one-touch paste button, but the button broke. I'd like to reassign the paste command to another key.

I've been searching the web. I see a lot of articles about creating shortcuts to programs, but nothing about programming an actual command.
