Has anyone been able to get their HP Scanjet 5400c to work? I can get the thing to scan but an image onto the monitor but then when you outline what you want to scan in the final scan it will not scan just that image and it will not save it. Any help would be appreciated. Do you think it is the scanner (driver) or the software that I am using? (paperport)?

im having the same problems as the guy above and have limited it skills. I've been googling different forums all night and have took some excellent advice and moved 6Gb over to D: without any repercussions. :D however im in the process of copying my pictures over there(It didnt give me the option to 'move' them directly so had to drag and drop). but they still...

I have this 35mm film/slide scanner that attaches with a USB cable that works under XP but not Vista (64). Vista can't find the driver even when I point to to it in the Windows/system32/driver folder (usbscan.sys). Is there something else I can use. Vista reports an error when it tries to find the driver but the fix (64-bit KB940199) suggested by "Problem Reports and Solutions" runs but...

In the sound pop up from the control panel I was trying to change the default speaker, but accidentally disabled it. Now the speaker has disappered from the playback devices tab and I cannot get any sound out of my speakers. Q. How do I enable my speakers again? PS. Its a laptop, so I think it's the internal speakers I've disabled

I've never used wireless mice or keyboards before and need to learn how reliable they are when used in "proximity" to a small form factor PC that will be mounted "behind" a HDTV mounted to a wall. I'm planning to put the keyboard and mouse in a box mounted to the wall just below the HDTV hung on the wall inches above. When the lid of the box is opened it will swing down like a tray holding...

XPS/Dimension 630i. This came with a 600GB HDD and I added a 1.5TB HDD. The 600 came with Vista and I created a 100GB partition on the 1.5TB for Windows 7. I now want to place 7 on the 600GB and move Vista to the 100GB partition. I've imaged both the 600GB and 100GB separately using Acronis. Can I use the Windows 7 image and restore it to the 600GB HDD and vise versa? --

I installed an HP wireless mobile mouse in my laptop and the scroll wheel does not work. It shows the Auto-scroll icon on the screen when I click the wheel but does not move the screen vertically or horizontally. Manually scrolling with the wheel does nothing either. I checked the HP website and have the latest drivers, and their troubleshooting/help is no help. The "mouse settings" window I...

My daughter's Acer laptop seems to have a touchpad that is erratic. When she's typing, she always has to watch the monitor, because the cursor will just jump anywhere without any warning. I'm assuming it's because there is something wrong with the touchpad. I've used her computer a few times, and I want to drop-kick it. She's fine with using a USB mouse, but I'm sure how to disconnect the...
