Last week, I could scan to a PDF file (I have Adobe Reader 8 installed). This week, the PDF file option is not available, and I can't figure out how to make it available. Any suggestions? Oh, I'm running Windows XP professional.

Thanks!

but when I try to make some back-up copies of purchased discs, it says the DVD wont fit (on some, not all). I tried looking for an option to burn the disc in dual-layer format, but can't figure it out. How do I do this?

I have the crucial ballistix ram 2gb 6400 already installed in my motherboard. My friend recently gave me 1 gb of ocz gold revision 2 6400. I was wondering if I can add in the new 1 stick of ocz with my crucial rams. I read somewhere that they have different timings too.

I've looked everywhere for a small hole to stick a pin in, and it's not there.

I have a MAC iBook G4 laptop with a stuck CD in it. I can't take it apart and it won't even turn on. I don't have enough money to get it looked at.. is there any other way?

To the digital painters out there:
What kind of monitor do you have? Recently I got an LCD monitor but I find that painting with it is so much different. For instance, if I sit low on my chair the colours appear darker than when I look down on it. I find this very annoying and I'm afraid my art might come over differently to other people with different monitor settings.
Is it best to have a CRT monitor when painting?
Please give me your opinion.
Thanks.

I'm thinking of buying a new mouse for my Dell desktop. The wireless mice look cool to me, but I'm not sure what do they run on? Batteries? Like AAA? Do you have to replace them all the time? Or do you think that it's eaiser to get a laser mouse?

Thank you.

I need to buy a macbook today, but my friend keeps telling me about "cyber monday" which is when all the online stores cut their prices. He said to wait till monday and apple.com will cut their prices as well. Can anyone else back me up on this? I have never ever heard about "Cyber Monday" before. Should I buy the macbook today, or wait til tommorow on "cyber monday" (if it is real)?

I am in the process of buying a laptop but I will also have to sign up for broadband so this seems to be saving me money (as it all seems quite expensive at the moment). However as I know there is no such thing as a free lunch I was wondering what the catches are??

My mouse began to act strangely. When on a web page, when the left mouse button is clicked, the scroll symbol comes up and works likes the scroll wheel.

Other times, the left mouse click may bring up options usually on the right click menu, and the right click is disabled.

This is very strange.
