Hardware - March 2007

Why is it, that computer monitor (using RGB values) can recreate a near match to fluorescent red, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink but cannot recreate fluorescent orange. I have even looked on web sites that sell fluorescent markers and sites that sell black light posters and all the colors seems to look bright except the orange which always comes out darker or brown. I do black light photography and the orange never reproduces. I have equipment and software to calibrate my monitor and have seen the same results on many other monitors.

I am in need of a printer for my new laptop but don't know where to start. I am printing a lot of papers from school and some are in color too. Is there a brand that's reliable and the ink is not so expensive?

I have a laptop with windows 98 and a desk computer with windows xp. I want to update the laptop, but it is not urgent. Do you think I should wait for potential problems in vista to be addressed by microsoft?

Few months, burning dvds no problem but in the last few weeks it will occasionally come back with "burn process failed". I've burned about 50 dvds (and a handful of cds) since I bought the machine and I've experienced this error about 5 times. It always appears to happen at the same point in the burn process but it doesn't happen everytime. I have XP and use Nero 7 via DVD Shrink to burn. I've checked Samsung website and there are no firmware updates for my model.
I haven't changed anything on my PC and I've been working with the same blank DVD+Rs (bought one pack of 50, never used anything else). Based on Nero report of error:
#31 SPTI -1135 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 290
E: CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1135)
Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR)
#32 CDR -1135 File Writer.cpp, Line 302
Write error
E: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552D
Any advice?

I have a hard drive (3.5" IDE) which has plagued me since I installed it. It's always been incredibly slow. Transferring files around it and to/from it take a very long time. I was told I might be able to speed it up by changing the jumper shunt position. So I did it. I changed the shunt to every possible position and started up the PC again. The only one that works is the CS Enabled one. Fair enough, I can't speed it up. But now there's something else. When I reconnect it with CS Enabled, the hard drive is being detected as new and unformatted. I can't use it unless I format it but I have a lot of important files on it that I really don't want to lose. Does anyone know what's wrong. Help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, the hard drive is a Maxtor DiamondMax with 160gb.
