*Hi* *Just thought i'd post my experience here, i had a problem installing my HP LaserJet 4000TN as a TCP/IP printer, i would use the wizard and define the IP address as usual, then it would say contacting printer, which would then spit out an HP diagnostic page, and the printer's LCD screen said "87 00FB EIO 2 ERROR".* *So, after much messing around (including deleting the ports in...

Also when I talk to someone on MSN or Yahoo Messenger, I can hear the person I call, but she can't hear me. That is when I tested the funtion in StartAll ProgramsAccessoriesSound Recorder. I notice that nothing is recorded. I am sure that the speakers and the mircophone...

Hi, I installed Vista 32 bits on my Compaq Presario v2000z (Turion) laptop a while ago. The only problem I've had is that my power adapters (I've got 2) are never recognized / seen by the OS, it states that I'm always on battery. However, it is plugged in and the battery charges OK. The power LED says the laptop is plugged in the outlet : only Vista does not recognize it. Because of...

I've just bought a 4GB flash drive to use as a ReadyBoost drive. However, it occurred to me that putting the swap file on might be a better idea. It's going to be mounted inside the case of the PC, so not easily removable. Any comments?

When I use Windows Live Messenger & want to make a video call, it will say webcam blocked being used by another application. If I reboot I can get the webcam to work. What other program is using the webcam? Can I disable it so the webcam works all the time on video calls on Live Messenger? Sometimes it works, but just as soon it freezes the whole machine and have to reboot by unplugging the...

I built this computer about a year ago. I installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit along with 4x1 gig sticks of dual sided RAM. Vista memory test said that everything was good.

I checked out Superfetch and it was set to Start and Automatic. I did...

I'm running Vista 64 on an AMD 64 Platform. I have the above printer. When I download drivers from Canon's website they are only Intel compatible. Yes, I have looked and re-looked and I'm sure. Canon does not support AMD 64/ Vista 64 for their Drivers (yet). I have tried to go through Device Manager, and there is no printer listed. I have tried to Add Hardware and I get "Restart Printer...

I have a Logitech microphone that was working with windows. Everytime I plugged it in, a pop up would ask me how I wanted to use the device. One day I clicked the "Do not show this message again." box. Ever since that time, windows does not recognize when I plug a microphone in. How do I go back and "unclick" that box?
