Writing with the keyboard looks a bit difficult as the pointer keeps jumping.

I have had the same Lexmark 4270 for a year with no problems. All of a sudden it will no longer print any documents. The print jobs go to the que, but just sit there saying printing. Eventually a blurb comes up and says Communicaiton not available. Fax, copy, scan to the computer all work, but not the print function. I have changed USB cables, checked power, uninstall/reinstall, update driver, check the spooling, hours on the phone with Lexmark and Dell and no resolution. I do not have a system restore point to take me back to there. I have hooked the printer up to another computer and it has the same problem. Since the printer can scan and send the image to the computer I am confused why it will not print. Please help, this is driving me nuts!!!

Ive included links for both laptop specs below if you want to have a look.
acer: http://www.acernotebooks.co.uk/aspire_51...

toshiba: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?qui...

Just to let you know, the spec does not matter much to me, as i only need it for basic duties such as office and internet. also if i required extra hard drive, then i can purchase an external one for 60 pounds or so with about 160 gb.
the above toshiba is a the most basic model, i've still heard good reviews about it. i need a laptop that is reliable with good build quality. which of the above would you recommend?

i have just repaired a p.c with a foxconn mobo using a s.i.s chipset
for some reason both of the ps2 ports wont work so i had to install windows xp sp2 using both a usb mouse and keyboard
upon first inspection inside the p.c case the dust inside there was unbeleivable,it must of been at least a millimetre thick,so i used a usb vacumn to clean it out
is there any way to get the ps2 connectors working again,upon installation of windows i tried the ps2 mouse again but it still didnt work,so i shall try using compressed air in the socket and see how that goes
is there any settings in bios that will get the ps2 connector working,?
cheers

When I play Soldier Front on my wide screen Dell Latitude D620, the game makes my screen into a square. There are two black spaces on the right and left only when I play the game. Does anybody know how to fix this? If it is the resolution, what should I change it to? Right now, the resolution is 1440 x 900 and I am using an nVidia Quadro 256 MB 110M video/graphics card. I will supply you with any other information you need to know to fix the problem. Thanks!

NVidia GeForce MX440 (128mb) graphics card. I can plug my XBOX into it. I was wondering if there is anyway to play my XBOX on my PC monitor as it will save space on my desk. I am currently using Windows XP and have 512mb RAM, 2800Gh CPU, ASROCK K7 motherboard and no hardware issues.Thankyou. (PS. I don't have any money so I can't buy a TV-in card).

If I boot the machine in safe mode, keyboard works fine. When windows starts, numlock light goes out, and keyboard no longer works. Hear a clicking sound in the system unit when keys are pressed. Any thoughts?

Basically I have a moto q and I want to synch up my work calendar with my personal calendar in the Moto Q. But I don't want all my personal information going on my computer at work.

Is there a way to just download my work calendar into the Moto Q and NOT vice-versa? I might want to do this with my tasks & contacts too.
