Hardware - February 2007

I have a Lexmark Z611. Ive been using cartridge 16 but it also takes 17. The last 16 I got I was refilling but it didnt work the last time so I got a 17. Now I cant get it to print at all. I took the tape off so I know thats not the problem. I tried rebooting. Nothing. What else could be the problem. Please, I am desparate here.

Hello. I am a newbie when it comes to laptops. I am not a techie person at all. So that's why I need your help. I'm planning to buy a laptop later. And I'm thinking of buying a mac. But i don't which model. Here's by criteria. The laptop has to be light (so i can carry it everywhere), high memory capabilities, affordable price, fast processing (it doesn't stall) and of course, it has to be stylish. If you're thinking of mac, which model? I'm open to suggestions (non-mac). Thanks!

Ok I got it to where it will read the disc. Now it says "Windows is loading files" it does that, then it looks like Windows Vista is starting up (with the load screen, similar to the XP screen)...but then after that it just goes to a blank blueish green screen. (blueish-green like a brand new vista desktop would look, somewhat)

Now any ideas of the problem? I let it sit there for awhile and it does nothing...everything in my machine should be vista compatible...here i will post all that i have.

Am using a VGA adapter and S-video cable between the computer and a TV. The TV display is the same as what's on the computer screen. I'm trying to get things connected so I will see what I'm producing exactly as it would be if it were already on a DVD being played on a home TV. Is the television displaying in NTSC or is it acting as a vga monitor? Any suggestions?

I have a Dell computer, and I want to reinstall Windows XP. I am stuck when the Windows XP Setup begins, because the keyboard does not respond when it says enter=continue,r= repair, and F3=quit.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to setup cable internet access for 12 to 15 offices that are spread out over 3 floors of a 100 year old Victorian style brick home that has been converted into office space.
Each office is a separate company, but I would like to offer them free internet.

How can I make this happen ? I would like to do it myself ?

Also can I limit the usage so that one person can not take up all the bandwidth?

Copying from one damaged HD to a new one. Some files are damaged, and gives me the 'cyclic redundancy' error. Is there a way/program that I can mass copy it, and skip/fix the damaged files. As it is, when it hits a bad file, it exits out. It doesn't ask the yes/no/all thing. I hate to babysit it all the way through

All the stores around me (Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc) no longer sell notebooks with XP. It's only been 48 hours since the release and no one sells XP anymore. Is Vista backwards compatable. Can I buy a Vista notebook and just install XP or am I asking for trouble?
