However, it fails to print out the document. I would like to fix the printer myself first before taking it to a specialist. Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Hello, I have a HP Intel 2 gz 256 mg that I recently bought a 512mb 3200 ram stick for. The new ram works great and the PC recognizes it, but I cannot get both sticks to run together. If I put the 256 in the secondary slot and the 512 in the primary, the PC doesnt turn on. But both the 256 in the primary and the 512 in the primary alone work great... Is it possible that they are not compatable? Both work fine alone but not together. Or is it most likely that my secondary slot is bad...

Just bought an Intel Core 2 Duo e4300.
Checked the specs with CPUZ, but the multiplier seems to change from 9x to 6x, and back. Voltages also fluctuate. Why is that?

Is there a way to keep it at 9x all the time?

Thanks.

Can i use a 8600 in one spot and a 7950 in another? or do they have to be both 8600's? also, if they have to be the same, do i need the same manufacturer? i wouldnt think so since the chipset is the same, but idk if they even need to be the same model in the 1st place =P

In "My Documents", when the contents are viewed in thumbnails, the "My music" folder has a picture of an album-art.

The album art, which I deleted the picture a long time ago along with the songs is still on the tumbnail of "My Music" in "My Documents". How do you get rid of it?

My computer is a Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005

I've compared the p.c.'s configured on newegg.com to those I configured on reseller sites (www.computerlx.com, www.pcinfinity.com, www.velocitymicro.com, unitedmicro.com) and I get the same pc for $300-600 less, plus I'm a bit paranoid about those sites based on their reviews. So, here are my concerns:
1. getting into a bind (i.e., and not being able to build the system before the CPU return policy, (7 days) then have a defective processor.
2. Not being able to "burn in" the system, as most stores do.
3. Hooking the wrong connector into the wrong recepticle, as I've heard of people doing (e.g., hooking the extra 4 pin power connector on a 20+4 connector and frying the mobo).
I have limited knowledge and experience with computers. The most I've done is install a video card--which I needed the instructions to do so. My dad builds systems but refuses to do it for me, as he wants me to save my money. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

It says in the instructions to uninstall existing audio programs, but I don't know what audio programs are used by my original sound card. I honestly don't know how to tell an audio program from others. Can I just leave the programs alone and put the new soundcard in and use the software that came with it?
I have windows xp, and my computer does detect when you connect something new and can connect to dsl if necessary.

Can I use any of these other ports on the laptop to help me connect to DSL? Someone told me that getting a cable for one of these other (unfamiliar) ports on laptop can enable me to hook a peripheral device to the laptop, and use my USB through that. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I hope I don't have to get the motherboard worked on.

I know I have an outdated videocard (ATI Radeon 9550 w/ Stealth S120), and I decided to buy spider-man 3 with a new videocard. Anyway:

*I would like to know what videocard exactly would give me performance and speed for under $300.

*Is there a difference from NVIDIA cards vs ATI Radeon cards? Like the, NVIDIA 7800GS vs ATI X1650 Pro? Anything would be helpful.

~I know what the card should have, but I just can't place what card to get. Any support will be helpful.~

-Thanks
