My mouse alignment is off some how. I have the "snap to" feature in use, and when my mouse "snaps to", it is 2" up and left of where I want to be. It also does this when I try to clone an area in Photoshop and it doesn't align to where I am trying to select and makes it hard to use my Photoshop program. My mouse also does this with the "snap to" box unchecked. Any solutions or...

My HP printer and Windows Vista have a love-hate relationship. They love ignoring each other because they hate me. Every week there's a new problem with the HP driver.

The womderful surprise this week was that Vista now reloads the driver every time the printer is powered on. I currently only...

My computer continues to freeze up and shut down unexpectedly. Or it will freeze up and I will have to shut it down. Sometimes it has a blue screen that comes up that will say that it had to automatically shut down due to a problem. Please help me figure out what is wrong with my computer.

On Skype it said that it was muted. There were no "mute/un-mute" buttons to be found, anywhere. And it wasn't just on Skype either. Yahoo too. It just wouldn't register it at all. He was trying to mess with the mic...

I have been trolling posts on several sites for the past few months, and can still find no solution to turning my Vista PC into an entertainment hub IN HD.
