I got an HP pavillion laptop and I got a wireless card for it. It's picking up a few connection networks but apparently none of them are suitable enough to connect with. Do I need to buy like a wireless modem or something to expand its signal?

I bought a brand new 9-cell laptop battery for my Dell Inspiron 6400, but before I used it I was given an almost-new battery. I have heard that if you don't use them regularly, they very quickly will loose their capacity to hold a charge. How can I store my new battery so it maintains it's maximum effectiveness for at least a year?

My screen resolution is set at 800x600 and I can't get it to go any higher. It used to be a lot better but it won't work anymore. I get the message "out of scan range" when I try to det it higher. I think that I have to update the driver but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone explain how it is done?

As I understand the mainboard must support the FSB of the CPU and the memory must run at the same speed as the the FSB.

So how do you work this out when an Athlon64 doesn't have a front side bus?

Hi Does anyone know anything about this specific printer? It can print in colour, but we dont really care about that..we really need it primarily for black and white. Someone in house at our company is saying it can only work with colour cartridges..can this printer work with just black and white?? I am not close enough to be able to go and look at this machine in person?

Thanks

Whenever I turn my computer on in the morning it never boots up on the first try, it will either freeze up at the windows loading screen or it will just be a blank black screen. So I turn it off by holding the button down and try again and it boots up fine. once in a great while it will boot on the first try, but rarely. Its been doing this for about 4 months now.
Does anyone know what could be going on?? Thanks.

I had gotten the memory card in the mail about a week ago..then I had to send it back to get one with the black chips on both sides..I got it in the mail yesterday and I had installed it...It didn't work so I called crucial. They told me to try each memory module by itself to see if the modules work and the slots work. The memory card I got in the mail, well when I put it in my computer on its own, it crashed my computer. I restored it but I am returning the memory back to crucial and getting a refund...not sure whats going on. The card that was already in my computer is a Samsung and the one I got in the mail wasn't a samsung. Could that have been the problem? If I had gotten a samsung, do you think it would have worked? Thanks
