I have an IBM thinkpad 600. My brother tried to use a USB to hook up his computer to mine. Now mine only beeps twice and does nothing, not even any messages on screen. Does this sound like a harddrive, or something else?

I bought this generic mouse for $10 at BigLots. It is wireless optical, I didn't keep instructions on how to get the usb to pick up the mouse so I can use it since I moved. I know there is a button on the USB that you push to let it find the mouse, but am lost from there

Hi, wonder if anyone can answer the above. On windows 98 you could just type in command prompt C:\\format C: and completely format the hard drive.

Tried this on my machine which runs xp and it asks me the volume name. I then type in hdd and then it says all my data will be lost. I then hit enter and it tells me that something else is running and do I want to dismount. I click Y enter but nothing.

I do know that by re-installing windows it will give the drive a quick format but thought that by formatting the drive manually will do a better job.

Thanks

In the 286 - 386 (Intel) era, you could get a separate board that in conjuction with a driver, would allow you to add memory. Do they still make a pci version of the card for PIII computers?

I have a D-Link DSL-G604T Wireless G ADSL Router Modem all set up and connected to internet, and recently got an Epson Stylus Photo RX520 printer.
How do you set up a wireless connection to the printer? Do I need a wireless print server? Is it possible to get a gadget that connects the USB on the printer to the available 4-port Ethernet slots on the wireless router?

I currently have a big HP printer that does not fit in the new cabinets we just installed. I'd like to be able to put a printer on the shelf so it's out of sight. The shelf is about 12" deep, 24" wide, and 8" tall. The printer I'd want would be a high quality photo printer, but doesn't need to be top of the line on the photo printing.

Thanks for the recommendations.

My friend says that he found out he has another card slot on his computer, a Pci with an out-of-date card and an empty Pci-e card slot. So, what I want to know is, is there a way to find out if your computer has another card slot without having to look into the computer or will I have to open the casing to look and see?

I have an older 128mb thumb drive from Memorex. I had no problems using it before, had transferred many files. Now when I connect the thumb drive to the USB port, it will not "read" the drive. Before it would autostart, but it does not now. I also tried going to my explore screen to look for the drive, but it does not show. I have a tried this on my home desktop, laptop, and work desktop. The USB port seems to be working just fine with any other device. Since I am running Windows XP on all computers, it will not allow me to download any new drivers. Memorex's website was absolutely no help at all. Thank you for any help! = )

Hello. I'm looking for a thin computer desk.

I figure I can use wall mounts for the montiors, that's a huge room saver right there... But I can't really find anything small that will support a keyboard/mouse with maybe a bit of extra room.

Any ideas?

the fan only comes on about once every 45-60 mins and for only about 10 secs and is loud. After the computer gets so hot shuts down and will not come back on for hours even if I plug it into the wall. It acts like I'm not receiving power because the light that comes on when you plug it into the wall will not come on.

*not a question.
I wanted to respond to another question, but it was closed...
You can burn the same label image on a Light Scribe Disc as many times as you would like. The more times you burn the image the darker it will be. The disc automaticly centers itself, so there is never an offset to the image. Hope this helps others looking of information of this type.
