My old computer was a windows 2000. I decided to trash my old computer and get two new computers (college student is the reason) I bought an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. I have had them both about three months. When I realized that I wanted to scan something I noticed that Id lost the installation cd. It could have very well been thrown out with the old computer by mistake. I have been told that installation disks werent always needed for things like printers and cameras and things. I tried connecting my printer to the vista first. It said recognized new printer HP 1410 at the bottom of the screen but when I tried to use it it wouldnt work. I then tried to hook it up to the XP. It right away asked for the installation disk. The scanner/printer isnt even a good year old yet but Im really good at getting rid of everything that comes with things like this (foolishly thinking its nothing but clutter) so I cant even find the manual that would help me figure out what to do. Help if you can

.. I've read that the 3200 will be reduced to the 2100 speed when both are installed together.

My question is, would it be better to have the 1gb+256mb running at pc2100 ---- or ----- 1gb running at pc3200 ??

If I use a brand-new photo cartridge and then take it out of my Lexmark P4330 Printer for a few weeks it doesn't work properly again, although I keep it in the cartridge storage unit provided. It is costing me a fortune. Can anyone help?

I have the bluetooth connection via a USB dongle on my PC that allows me to connect with my cell phone. I have established a connection via the bluetooth generic software between the two. The software just shows the two devices are properly linked but has no icon for file transfer etc. How do I now send files, photos ect from the PC to the cell or vice versa? Do I need seperate software? I see no cell phone device in my folders or in XP and only a bluetooth link that wont allow anything at this point other than the connection. Can someone help...thanks!!

i have narrowed my search down to Compaq models. However, i am in a dilemma, since one of the models has AMD Turion 64 Moblile microprocessor and the other one has Intel Celeron. Now i would be using this laptop just for web browsing, MS office applications and sometimes for gaming. Which microprocessor is better??

If you had a bad experience with their refills, was it because you tried getting a refill that wasn't on their "refillable" official list?

I recently bought a samsung 22 inch 226BW monitor, its a great monitor and is working fine except at times when I play games I'd notice some horizontal flickering, its not too major but it is noticable and kinda distorts the image.

I didn't think a monitor with a 2 m/s response time would actually lag so I called samsung and there sending me a refurbished replacement...........I'm just abit worried though coz this monitor is still pretty much brand new and I've never had a refurbished product........Im just thinking in that case maybe I should of bought a refurbished monitor to start with rather then buy a new one and have it replaced with a refurbished...
Opinions would be nice cheers..

Thanks in advance....
