It is a Brother MFC-215C. It will print from my computer, fax quite happily and copy from the printer. However to scan it opens the Brother Control Centre2, which is not working - I cannot print/photocopy/scan etc from it. So effectively I cant scan, cos when you push the "scan" button on the printer, and then say "scan to email" or another option it opens Control Centre2. I rang the people who sold it to me and they told me to delete and reinstall the printer software, which I did - no change. I then took the machine into them, and after 2 weeks they returned it saying there was no problem at all with the machine.....help, what do I do?

I know it's a basic question, but need a straight answer! if you do this, does the laptop need to be open (I think that when you close it it switches off automatically, do most laptops allow one to disable this feature? I'd like to just put the laptop in a drawer and not be bothered by having 2 displays showing the same thing. Also, is there any loss of computing speed if I do this? Thanks!

Is it fine to use a mouse without installing it, I'm almost sure it is. But does it lose any features etc?

I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to buy the little plastic things that hold the keys on a laptop keyboard. I ended up taking mine apart a few days ago and a few of those little plastic things broke so now my keys wont stay down?

I recently had to buy a new laptop because the LCD panel in my old one went out. A friend of mine mentioned a few ways of transfering files, such as music and pictures, from my old laptop to my new laptop. I decided to go with a Cat 5 crossover patch cable, but I'm not sure if it will actually work. And I am wondering how to go about using this cable, if in fact it will work?

My new pc has a pci-express slot. How much system memory (ram) would I free by installing a video card? And how much memory should the video card have? (I know some come with 256MB, 512MB, etc.) Except for the pre-installed cards games I wont be playing other games.

When I press the power button on my desktop nothing happens. Checked power cord and power switch on back of PS.

Thinking that if it is a mobo problem that the fans would at least power up; currently nothing happens when button pressed, no fans, drives don't spin up. Nothing.

Anyone know any "easy" ways to check?

Power supply is 500 Watt ThermalTake, Mobo is an MSI K8N Neo; system has been running fine for over two years.

here are the specs:

Genuine Windows ® Vista Home Premium Edition
Anti-glare, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800)
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8600M GT
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
80GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

I think the graphics card has turbocache so Im wondering how much main memory it will use up and whether this will negatively affect performance since it has Vista.
Any suggestions to make the game run as smoothly as possible are appreciated.

thanks in advance

fine, brought it home, hooked everything up again and when they turned it on it would not boot up. A message said "please insert operating disk and press enter."
That's all it will ever do. I thought I would reformat but looked for that particular disk and could not find it. The manual said a copy should be made of the system when the computer is first started. This could then be used to get it going when and if something like this comes up.
I suppose the manufacturer should have a disk like this?? Is there any other way to get it going?
All the computers I've purchased had reformatting disks with them.
