These are discs I created myself when I first got the computer. How can I verify that they are not faulty? And if I just go for it will I screw up my computer? Thanks

It's HP 1210 printer
The same ink cartridge has been in it for almost a year and it has been printing fine- now all of a sudden it comes up with a message saying "your ink cartridge is the incorrect model for this printer" and it's flashing error saying "check ink cartridge"
I've tried unplugging it, and plugging it back in, as well as restarting my computer. It still won't do anything
Any advice?? Thanks!

I connected my computer to the TV monitor, so I can watch movies on the big screen. I was able to do that. However, my computer only supports one screen. So, in order to connect to the TV, I need to unplug the computer monitor and plug the TV monitor in. What do I need to buy in order to see the same view on both, computer and TV. Thanks!

It has to be small and light. I can pay around £500. I'd rather go to a shop and buy than going online cos I wanna feel it before I buy it. Do you have any model in mind and a place I can buy it in London?

I have Windows XP on a Dell laptop. I have two different portable USB drive that I sometimes plug into the computer. Sometimes when I plug them in, they show up as drive "E". And sometimes they are drive "F". That makes it hard to write programs and create shortcuts because the drive letters are never predictable. Is there some way to tell Windows (or to tell the drive) that when "this" one is plugged in I want to force it to always be drive and when "that" one is plugged it I want to force it to always be drive ?

Please help me! I just bought a desktop for the first time (I always had laptops before) and I cannot turn up the volume! The buttons on neither the keyboard nor the computer itself are working, and I am getting NO SOUND! Do I need speakers, or does the computer have built-in volume like a laptop? Please help me, I want to get this done ASAP!
