I have a hp photosmart c3100 printer. I thought I just set it to black and white or grayscale, but it still it printing the colored parts of the page in color and not the whole thing in black and white. How do I change this.

If a printer is using a color and also a black and white cartridge, it isn't using the color cartridge to make up the black ink instead of the black and whilte cartridge, is it? I think some printers do that.

Hi,
I recently upgraded my computer (new motherboard, new processor, new RAM) and the speed is slower than my old 1.2ghz computer. It runs games perfectly but normal use is slow. Especially hibernation. My old 400mhz laptop hibernates and resumes like 4 times faster! I am using XP (same on all systems). I had a suspicion that it is my Hard drive (40gb) that came with the old computer I just upgraded.
Thanks,
Jonty

I was informed by a salesperson, that a fast 200x flash drive could be used to increase the amount of ram in a laptop computer. Example, if I have one gb already installed I could buy a 2gb centrinos flash drive at 200x and plug in to the USB2 port, and then go into Vista OS, and ask it to add memory. Has anyone heard of this? And is it really possible to add ram by pluging in a 200x flash drive, it just seems to simple to be believed?

I just bought an HP Pavilion DV6226US Laptop. I need this for compiling certain programs while traveling, and when I tried to install VB6 on the computer (Vista installed) I had a lot of problems, so I switched to XP Pro, which I;m running on my other computer.

However, HP doesn;t seem to provide drivers for XP for this machine, nor do they direct you to where to find them. So, please help, if you;ve come across a similar situatin. How do I know what drivers I need? And where do I find them?

XP installed OK, but there are everal yellow exclamation marks in the Device Manager section of the Control Panel, incldung graphics drive, Ethernet controller driver, etc.

All help will be gratefully acknowledged (and if you need help to know how I got this far, let me know, and I'll keep you updated on progress.)

Thanks

Murray
