Just bought a Compaq laptop that has Windows Vista. How do I know the above printer will work with it? How do I know whether or not my laptop will communicate with a wireless printer?

I am trying to use an older Lcd (VGA only) monitor as a TV monitor. The coax cable it would be connected to is attached to a Tivo like box that only outputs a coax feed in the room I'm attempting to place the monitor. So I need an adapter that has an input of a coax cable and a output for a vga monitor (and a separate wire for sound). Thanks

I have two older desktop PCs both with one HD each. I want use them together in one desktop, one as a master and one as a slave. One HD is 10 GB and has a W2K OS and the other is 20 GB and has 98SE OS and files I need to keep. Each of these HD’s work as masters in separate computers, but I want to make the 10GB HD with W2K the master, and the 20GB HD with 98SE the slave in the PC that originally had the 20GB HD with 98SE as the master. When I do this I receive the Blue screen stating something about "If this is the first time you've received this message...and run CHKDSK \F". Also, the 10GB HD won’t work as a Single HD in the PC that originally used the 20GB HD as the master. Any thoughts as to why the 10GB won’t work as the master. Sorry for the confusion.

I've got an ATI Radeon X300 card with my primary monitor connected via VGA and a TV via the Yellow out. I've gotten this to work before when using the SVideo out but it's not working this time for some reason. When I click on the second monitor on the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog and click the "Extend my desktop..." then apply nothing happens to the second display and the "Extend..." option becomes unchecked.

I am wanting to purchase a laptop here in about 1-2 months but, I have no idea what to look for. I need to get a hp or dell because I get a discount on them through my company. I would like to keep it under $1500 and I will be using it mostly for work, everyday use and, I also like to play the sims. I would want it to have a dvd burner as well. The problem is I have no idea what type of ram/ hard drive/ processor to look for or, how much of each I would need for what I wanting to use the laptop for. Any advice or tips you all can give would be great. Thank you so much for your time!

HI, when i set my computer up and added a few external disk drives, xp labled them F,G,I ect.. Since then I needed to use a camera card and the order of the drives was altered by Windows. So the computer now calls the F drive H, the H drive G and so on. This is problematic since the host programs I use thinks that the F drive is still F (even though it is now called G) and then cannot find the program. In certain cases the program doesn't allow me to find and link the files I need, making the program useless. I would like to restore the order of my drives . How do I do this?
