I'm trying to print a test page, but it won't print anything. The ink cartridges are full, and all the cords are plugged in. I've tried troubleshooters, but no success. I don't have a manual to the printer either.

I have a Mac OS 9, so it's an older Mac computer. When we first got it, it worked just fine. Now it's very slow and when we got on the internet it just shuts down or it freezes really easily. It always says we're low on memory. We want it to stop doing that and hopefully become a bit faster too. Any suggestions?

I am thinking of buying a new Vista laptop and was wondering if some computers are easier to switch than others.

My friend installed XP and now her wireless doesn't work!

She says something about drivers? And how can she return to Vista now that her computer won't work properly with XP?

I don't want this to happen to me, I am not sure Vista works well enough.

I recently download foxfire (something like that) to do my kodak picture. Ever since then my pc seems to be doing something odd where its saving things and just running space. How can I tell if there was a program downloaded triggering this or what can I do to check if there are files I can delete?

I've got an E6550 core 2 duo processor and 7600GS-512 MB but when I try to play some games as: DiRT, Crysis etc my pc suddenly gets slow, my friend told me that an overclock implementation can improve the performances but I don't know if I should do that or maybe some hardware could be the source of that problem so what can I do to make my pc fly while playing a game?
PS: i don't have a computer virus
