My dell printer (photo 924) may be broken. When I press print it won't print autimatically. It will go to a printer button at the bottom where my time is and ifi double click it, it will tell me that it didn't print. A couple days ago it told me that It had not paper in it and it did. It got caught.

I hav an IBM laptop. the booting consumes a lot of time say 10-15 minutes. when i press the on/off button it stucks on to the page "IBM Thinkpad" "Press F1 and F12" etc for that much time. After that, its ok and fast. What could be be problem as there is no virus problem. please help. Can it be hard disk or some other internal problem? I have just changed the battery and upgraded it to extra memory.

A couple of days ago, my desktop was running really slow, so I ran a virus scan, checked for adware and spyware (that was installed just a few months ago when I had the computer fixed!!) Anyhow, now when I try starting the computer, the screen comes on to start in Safe Mode etc. Well, no matter which option you choose, the computer will act like it's going to boot up, but then it just restarts over and over again - never loading Windows. What could be happening?? Thanks a million in advance! :)

I just dropped my Dell Inspiron 2200 onto the tile floor from the bed. It was about a 2 foot drop, which in most cases wouldnt have hurt it that bad, but considering the fact that it bounced I think it is what led to the reason the screen is showing up shattered from the inside. Does anyone know what I could possibly do to save it? Can the screen be replaced?

Any help or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I installed xp pro sp 2 that was somebody elses cd. I had a xp pro cd key, but my copy of xp was really old, and i didnt feel like downloading sp2. I finally noticed that the sp2 cd was oem and my old xp cd was retail so the keys wouldnt match. So i put my xp cd in and reinstalled windows, im pretty sure i deleted that sp2 partition. I run windows now prefectly. But i am missing about 100 gb of my harddrive space. I bought a 250 GB WD drive, and now it only says my drive is 127 GB? Maybe i didnt delete my old partition? help please!!!!

I have a problem with my printer. A while back, it started printing words on top of words. For example, the top part of the page would say "When tires are not inflated to the pounds per square inch..." and those same words would appear on top of other words near the bottom of the page. Why is this happening?

Hi I just bought a brand new Sapphire AGP 8x 1950 pro 512mb video card. I have an Ultra Xconnect 500 watt PSU. I took one of the fans out of the PSU a long time ago. (way before getting the graphics card yesterday). Is it possible the PSU is over heating? or does the PSU just not have enough power for the card? or is it most likley not the card or the PSU? the last card I had wouldn't ever crash but it was a 5900xt which is achient now. Ive tried reinstalling the drivers and what not and my computer crashes in any/every game. theres also corruption on the screen. do I have to get it RMA'd?

By getting the 4GB option, it will cost me $800. Is it worth it to get that memory? I don't think I'm going to be doing anything that will use up that space, but I would also like the laptop to last me four years in college. Any advice?
