Im looking for an all in one scanner/printer/color copy.
Preferably within the $150 range.
Are there scanners/copy that can scan documents larger than 8.5 x 11, say maybe more like 11x14?

Thanks much!

Im about to buy a new tft 19''

I was just wondering what the advantages / disadvantages were using a widescreen tft compared to a standard square tft because they are both the same price and dont know weather to get standard or widescreen

Im just worried about using windows on a widescreen i think its going to seem a little odd at first

It's a Windows XP SP2 system, and it either switches itself off just after the BIOS self test beep, or just after Windows loads up. It seems to do this the first couple of times the PC is switched on for the day.

Any ideas why?

I have 4 USB ports. My problem is if I connect one USB device (printer, joypad,etc), the device running ok.

If I connect two USB devices, the devices start to operate below average.

If I connect three, more problem occurs such as:

-when transfer data to pen drive - cannot copy, path too deep
-device not found

I can't imagine if I connect 4. So, anybody kindly please answer my question..

I do a lot of music transfers on my external HDD. I was downloading some music from yahoo music when it started to say stuff like delayed write failed and couldn't write bla bla bla. I checked the files already on my external HDD and they worked.. I turned the external HDD off and then tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn on but I heard a fan going inside. I unplugged it and then plugged it back in and it turned on that time.

I just upgraded from 2 128 sticks of PC100 to 2 256 sticks of PC133. The motherboard is reading the amount just fine, but it won't run it any higher than 100 MHz. I have an Asus A7V-ML Motherboard with Phoenix (8/31/01) Bios. I'm running an AMD Athlon T-Bird 1300. I tried to change the Memory Bus Speed in the Bios but it wont let me. Any advice at all? (also running xp home sp2 and have Everest available)

I'm planning on purchasing a laptop, and I was wondering what kind of accessories are good to buy along with it. Aside from the obvious choices, should I buy an ethernet cable hub, or does wireless access come standard in the machine? (I'm looking at an HP, if that makes a difference)

I run Adobe Audition on a PC with Windows XP. I'm pulling audio off of my VCR. (covering city council meetings and using audio with permission of the local cable access channel) I have the input on the lowest setting by double-clicking the speaker icon, then >>options>>properties>>recording and pulling the microphone slider all the way down. Mic boost is off. The sound is fine on TV but going in too hot. Anywhere else I can tweak to lower the input?

I had turned off computer for the week end and was not having any problems. Returned to work and kept getting printer error message "out of paper" when printer was full of paper. No paper jams. After 2 days of troubleshooting I bought a new printer. The new printer works with the other E-Machine in the office with no problem. Installed on my computer and got the error message " out of paper". It does not seem to be a communication problem and since the printer works fine with other computers and is the same error message as old printer I am thinking it is the computer. Any suggestions of what to do next?

My friend's computer shut off one night and and wouldn't come back on. I looked at it and tested all the parts on my computer. I found out the problem was the motherboard. All the other parts were fine. Instead of buying a new one she was thinking about buying whole new computer. She still wanted all the music, movies, ect on her old hard drive so I was planning on extracting the files she wanted and putting them on disk. I installed her hard drive on my computer as the slave drive. Everything seems to be working fine except I cannot find all her music, picture and video files. All her program and program files are still on there but all other files are missing.

Anyone know what may be causing this? Can I just not read them or has something happened that caused them to all be deleted? Both hard drives have windows xp installed on them and both hard drives are set to their proper jumper settings. Any insight or advice is welcome. Thank you

I have an HP Presario M2000 laptop which, sadly, has met its demise. The screen on the laptop burnt out and now it would just about as much to replace it as it would to buy a new one.

Thus, I am purchasing a new laptop.

What I wish to know is whether or not I could use some of the components (all in working order) of this laptop in my new one. I know I can remove the RAM upgrade that I put inside, but what about the stock RAM? Any use for the hard drive? Processor/Video card?

... I guess that's about it. I can't really see that anything else could even feasibly be useable in another laptop, but hey. Feel free to surprise me.

Thanks in advance for your answers! Peace.
