I have a canon mp530. I bought a package of 4 ink cartridges, black, yellow, magenta and cyan, but I forgot that there's a space for a second black ink cartridge. The printer needs 8bk and 5bk black ink. Why are there two black ink cartridges? More importantly, can I still get it to print without the second cartridge?

"Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. Open Display in Control Panel, and then lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. To view the DVD Troubleshooter, click More Information."
Is there a way to fix this without having to install a different dvd player.

My laptop is connected to a 21" monitor. I accidently hit a button on the laptop and it shrunk everything on my monitor. I've tried resetting it in the control pantel (it shows two screens and my monitor is screen 1) but now it is stretched longways. I have to print screen and paste pictures of SAP line items (accounting software) into Excel workbooks then type out the numbers into formulas in the worksheets. The pictures are overlapping the formula's and I have to set the zoom to 200 just so I can see the numbers on the pictures. Then I have to move the screen back and forth to make sure I'm typing the right numbers into the formula. I've gotten no help from my own or my company IT personnnel. Also, when I go to the Internet my home page is only 1/3 of it's width and it's straight down the middle. The screen in SAP is also small print and narrow. How do I reset my 21" monitor so everything looks normal?

I bought a 1 gig stick i used crucial to make sure it ws compatible, it is ddr pc3200, the same as my 256 stick.
If I put it in on its own it comes up with an irql not less or equal error and wont do anything.
If I put it in with my 256 sticlk then the pc loads but when I start using or downloading data it gets corrupted.
Any solutions or do I just have to buy some different ram?
