Hardware - June 2007

In the home we have 2 laptops. One is a Toshiba running Xp and the other is an Acer running Windows Media Edition. Both laptops have had the same drivers instaled and the setings are the same. The Toshiba has never had any problems printing from the Epson but the Acer when we first got the printer printed one or two, then would always start printing, stop half way though, spit out the payper and then print rubish on 1/5 of as meny bits of payper as it could suck in until you turned it of!!! Now it just starts, prints less than 2cm and then hangs!! We have even tryed to download updates for the Driver from Epson but nothing has helped.

If you have any suggestions other than throwing it off the roof we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi, I have a dell 962 inkjet printer. I usually refill my printer cartridges with no problems, but this time my dell color cartridge which i am refilling for the first time is not working properly. The printer just prints ignoring the color, the refilled black works fine though. I think it may be a problem with the cartridge contacts but any help/comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am looking for a Graphics card with a TV Tuner, and I am wondering if it would perform better with a Good "Just Graphics" card and a Hauppauge PCI TV Tuner or an AIW Card either x1900 or other? I only want to spend $200 at the most, but I want 256MB at least.
My computer specs:
Athlon X2 4200+
2 GB PC3200
PCI-e 16x Slot
250GB SATA2
Running Vista Home Premium.
I prefer ATI cards. I use my computer for Music, TV, and Video more than Gaming.
Thanks in Advance.
