OK, this is kind of complicated for me to explain. I have a MAC PowerBook G4 with OSX, most of the time when I am using it do to normal, routine stuff, the thing 'puts itself to sleep' or just kind of acts like I closed the screen with it still on. The power doesn't turn off though. The only way for me to get it to come back up on hte screen is to press the power button though. This happens when I'm using the battery and when it is plugged in. This is now starting to happen more frequently and it is really annoying! Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this? I hope it is just a setting I can mess with.

Thanks!

I am at work and I am able to print to this printer without any problems. However, when I try to scan a document it will not come to my computer. I have tried using Adobe Acrobat to scan to my computer to make a pdf and I have tried using HP Document Viewer off the Start menu. My computer definitely detects the printer because I am able to print to it. I just can't scan. Does anyone have any clues as to what I can do?

First off, thank you to everyone who responded to my question. Now I have another. For the internal DVD drive, will it also read cd's that I put in. Would I need a double drive to put the cd that I want to copy in and then another for the blank cd that I am creating? Does that make sense? How do I know if the drive will fit internally? Would I have to take out the existing drive that I have?

I don't like my new widescreen lcd monitor. It makes images look wide and its seems hard to work with for website design? Would a regular monitor be better?

My device manager says that my computer has a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller. Does that mean I can use any of the USB ports, or is one specifically a 2.0? The ports just have a USB symbol, they are not labeled 1.1, or 2.0.

For about the same cost I can get either combo:

What would be best for someone using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (XP Pro operating system)

Intel Core 2 Dual Processor 2.4 Ghz with a Radeon X1550 (512 Mb)

Intel Core 2 Dual Processor 1.8 Ghz with a GForce GT (256)

Thanks.

How do I use it? Simple, right?

So we just bought the brand new HP Touchsmart IQ770 pc, it's fabulous by the way, and I've figured out how to use pretty much everything on it, except the integrated webcam. So, someone who actually owns one, can you puh-lease help me? I can see the actual camera in the top of the computer, and I've looked through nearly every file and folder on all the drives and I can't find anything about it. And of course the userguide is USELESS. I have nero and roxio media if that helps any...but I can't figure out how to even use the webcam, so I guess not.

Anyway, please help. Cheers.

I've upgraded my old compaq as far as it will go. Its basically an old motherboard and chipset thats been upgraded too far.

So now im forking out for a new case, motherboard and Processor and 1 gig 240pin ram chip

My problem is i have about 1.25 gb of ram (pc 3200 184pin)

and a friend said i could add that to the 1 gb im buy though all of it would run at 184pin after that.

is this true and is it safe?

This is what the blue screen says:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk fragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:
***STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x82954980, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, the end. The only problem is I HAVE seen tis screen again and now whenever I try to start my computer at all it stops at this screen. Any help is highly appreciated!

I want to know the difference between the raid controller that is build into a motherboard, (let's say one of those high end one) compare to buying a raid controller that cost as much as the motherboard it self ($150+)

Is there a speed difference? performance difference? etc?

thanks
