The monitor is a 17" model. Not too modern but not too old either, I would have thought. Is there a way of putting it back to normal? It does this on its own after about 20 mins - then later goes pink again and repeats the process.( I do NOTHING to cause it to blush! Honest!)

When I go to add a printer, it says Operation cannot be completed. The Print Spooler Service is not running.

So I started the Print Spooler in Administrative Tools and then it still gives me the same message...every time I turn it on, it turns itself back off.

my laptop does not have a s-video. it has only one yellow output jack.
my tv has everything u can imagine. hdmi, s-video, component cables, avi's.....
this is stupid for me to even say it but when i connect the yellow cable from my laptop to the yellow port on one of the avi's on the tv, it doesn't work.
is there any cable i can buy which from one end is the yellow jack and on the other is something that i can hook it up to my tv. and make this work?

OK I am writing 6 books and getting a new computer. Old printer had several problems and no good. I am getting a new printer with new computer. The main thing I wish for is that it always works and does not malfunction.

My Current PC atm is the following,

Athlon 64 3700 San Diego Core socket 939

2 Gig of DDR PC 3200 Corsair Value select

80 gig HD Western Digital

Asus A8N5X Socket 939 Nforce 4 Motherboard.

I currently have no plans to do any overclocking, and I'm only running 1 Hard Drive, 1 Floppy, 1 CD/RW Burner. What is the best power supply I can get for under 100 dollars from newegg that will power my system with an Geforce 8800 GTS installed in, from what I understand its a power eater. But having a hard time picking a power supply out, any ideas?

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card. I have absolutely no idea what DDR and GDDR and what goes with my computer. Right now I have a Geforce 6200 TC if that helps. I know that I have PCI-E, so is any card suitable, I'm looking at getting at Geforce 7600 GS, 1) is that a good card and 2) can it run on my comp. I will provide more details if needed.

I have an imac OS X. I need a printer mostly to print documents and images from my computer. Eventually I may want to print photo's when I get a digital camera. I want to keep the cost under $100.00 Canadian. I have no idea where to even begin. What is a good brand? What features should I be looking for? Should I purchase the extended warranty?
