My laptop has been giving me alerts saying that I am low on "virtual memory" or something like that. And since I've been removing a lot of things that I don't need or use, I have no clue why that's been happening.


Thanks in advance for answering. If you actually gave me an answer that is.

I bought one of these for saving my photos on while traveling overseas. I took it into a camera shop to have the photos from my camera downloaded onto it, and the person in the shop didn't know what they were doing and wrecked it. Now when you install it the light comes on and then turns off, and it won't come up on the computer. I hear you can manually open one of these by using the comp. Can someone please tell me how to do this? I am not very techy so basic terms would be much appretiated. Thank you.

The type of all in one printer I need to purchase is an copy, fax, printer, and scan machine. I have had an lexmark before but it was an older model. I am leaning toward an Lexmark X5470 but I don't know if I should get it. The Brother MFC-240C also seems like a good buy. Does anyone currently own an all in one printer that they would reccomend that I get? You input is greatly appreciated.

Hey people. I have an HP computer and I've had if for about 6 months. It works ok, but the only problem is that it won't read or play any discs. When you put a computer game into the drive thingy, the green light blinks over and over and then it stops and nothing happens. It used to work and play audio CDs when I first got it, but now it's just a piece of crap. Do I need a new drive?? If so, then how much are they? How do you put it into the computer, do you need a professional-computer-person to do it for you? and does that cost money, too??
