I have 2 GB sticks of G-Skill dual channel ddr2 800 RAM (5-5-5-15). 1 GB stick of Patriot ddr2 800 RAM. The setup is as follows:
Slot 0 (yellow): G-Skill
Slot 0 (black): Patriot
Slot 1 (yellow): G-Skill
Slot 1 (black): empty
It says it's not running dual channel. Do I have to change BIOS settings? If so, how?

I think I might have uninstalled the driver, or whatever. How can I download one, maybe for free.

I have a Compaq ij650 series model printer at home, and it has worked like any other great printer until one day, I wanted to print something out, but it did not. I tried turning it off and on, putting in new paper and ink, but it won't work. What I don't understand is that the paper light keeps blinking but, i already set the paper and pressed it, but none of the two buttons will work. Can anyone help me to make it function again?

Okay, so whenever i try to open up a movie file, my comp freezes.
I then uninstall my video card drivers, and then i can watch my movies, but the quality isnt so great.
When i reinstall the video card driver (nVidia XFX) my movies freeze up again and so does my comp.

uhhhhhhhhh what???

I can't upload and download photos from and in to my digital camera using my computer via USB. It was working before but now it doesn't. My computer won't recognize my camera. There is usually a small green arrow in the Taskbar when i plug in my camera but now there isn't. Also, in "My Computer" there is no E: Drive.

Anyone who can give solutions to my problem is appreciated. Also, is there anyway I can open E: Drive or the "New Hardware Found" thingy.

By the way, I'm using a Laptop and a Canon Powershot SD630 Digital Camera.
