Can i reuse my hardrive from my previous computer, which essentially broke. The harddrive is in fine condition. Is there a way that i can use it as my primary and still retain all programs and my OS without having to reinstall everything. I do not plan on buying another harddrive.

I have DSL and I use a DSL filter/splitter to split the DSL and the Phone. When I have the filter plugged in my printer will not print. If I unplug my filter and directly connect the DSL phone line to the wall jack my printer works fine. How can I fix this problem???

I am buying an HP dv9500t laptop, and I am wondering whether or not to get a 240 GB 5400 RPM hard drive(free upgrade from 160 GB 5400 RPM), or a 240 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, which is 75 dollars more. I basicly only use a computer for playing games, using Word and Powerpoint, going on the Internet, and playing online games. Will my games run faster with a 7200 RPM hard drive, or will the excess heat from the 7200 RPM hard drive cause everything else to become slower? Note: I have a lot of games, so I need a big hard drive...

What PSU do i need to run the following:

Intel Core2 2.9ghz extreme edition X6800
150 gb WD Rapter 10,000RPM SATA hard disk
500 gb WD Sata hard disk
DVD burner
4x 1gb OCZ PC8500 DDR2 ram
Audigy2 ZS sound card
EVGA 8800 GTS 640mb Video card.

Roughly 5 fans (not including CPU or video card fan)

looking for something that will support this without running into any problems. As I was some really large cost difference between power supplies, i wasn't sure which is the correct one for what i want to do.

I do not plan to upgrade or overclock any of that any time soon.

Please help me urgently, I have so much Christmas printing to do.

Today, I installed a genuine Lexmark 16 black ink cartridge and a genuine Lexmark 26 colour ink cartridge, into my printer this very day. I carried out the correct installation.

The printed copy is 'all to pot' and the colour red and blue seems to be totally missing.

I have the colour 26 on the left of the printer and the b/w 16 on the right of the printer.

Will the printer work with only one coloured cartridge and can the cartridges be safely swapped around, or does this cause problems?

The test page comes out a golden colour and lacks the vibrant colours of previous test pages.

What do you think is wrong?

Can the colour 26 perhaps have dried up? It was certainly still in its sealed package, when I installed it today.

Please help me urgently, I have so much Christmas printing to do.

Here's the deal. I am trying to back up all data on all (about 6) workstations of the company(it is a landscaping company). They do not have a server. Each computer has different files to backup. One has project diagrams where we do the designs, one has all customer information stored, one has employee information etc... The company has about 2000 customers. What would be the best way to backup all of this data?

I basically use my computer to surf the net, write papers and download music. The majority of the files on my computer are papers, pictures and music. I constantly go through and remove programs that I don't use but my computer takes forever to open Word and run other programs in general. Any suggestions of what I should do?
