if anyone is using a photo printer, can u tell me, which type (standard inkjet, or special digital photo printer?) and do u find thus printing cheaper than the traditional developing of films?

I was having some problems with random program crashes for about a week so I decided to reinstall XP. The installation went fine but now my Sound Card doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest drivers and during installation it says "Hardware device not recognized" or something to that effect. The Card is in the same PCI slot that it has always been in since the day I bought it, but just for kicks I moved it to a different one.

In all the PCI slots the card gets recognized in the BIOS but when windows completely boots up to desktop, XP doesn't recognize any new hardware that needs to be installed. I have tried to do a manual installation without success also.

I doubt the card has gone bad, any other ideas I should try?

Dell P4 3.6Ghz
2gigs DDR2 Ram
250gig HD
Nvidia 6800 GFX card
Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio card
(never had a problem with it before today)

What do you think?
Or do you have any better ideas?

I have a Yamaha PSR-GX76 keyboard that I would like to use for some midi work. The only inputs/outputs are two of the 5-pin midi plugs on the back, one in one out. Is there a way I can hook this up to the computer so that I can use it to write music in a music notation software such as Finale Notepad or something else? What kind of equipment will I need?

My Apple 12" powerbook G4 has a memory slot that I know can be upgraded. However there is 128 mb built into the computer that I don't know if I can upgrade. I've heard conflicting stories. It seems like it would function better if it had two equal amounts working in tandem.

It's basically all the question. Is the Dell Inspiron 1420 a good deal? Here is a web site you can check out. I want a pink one. If it isn't please post a web site on one that is a good deal, that is also pink. Lol. Ok. Here is the website. P.S. Which one is the best deal?
