I'm setting up an HP All-In-One Photosmart 3210 printer on a network in
a small office. Three PCs are able to see and use the printer just
fine. The fourth PC is not able to install it, because the installation
can't see the printer on the network. (All four computers are running

Just recently, the hard drive light my computer flashes every second.
I've checked with 'Filemon.exe' from Sysinternals to see what file is being
accessed, but nothing!
I'm sure this wasn't doing this last week!

Hi. you know that noise that a hard drive makes when it boots up or
sometimes  when it's being accessed, we have a pc that has that noise the
whole time none stop even when it's not being used and no screen saver is
on.

I have several USB 2.0 devices connected to my WinXP machine.  I'm looking
for a way to programmatically enable/disable a specific USB port (to simulate
physically disconnecting, and reconnecting the USB cable).
Any help would be appreciated,

I installed a new MSI diamond K8N with drivers etc.
The plugs on the main board will not have any output at all. The front panel
has though.
Is it a special setup I need to run on this board?

Ok, so here's my problem.
I've recently decided to reinstall windows xp on my computer. So I made
a backup of all important files that I have.
Then I formated partition D. Everything was ok.

Hey everyone,
I have recently been having trouble with my NEC DVD_RW ND-4571A drive.  
Whilst it still reads official disks perfectly (a DVD movie or software CD
for example), if I put one of my DVD data disks in the cursor displays a CD

Recently I started to have a strange printer issue.
It doesn't stop printing and sort of keeps on printing to the very bottom of
the page and then on the next page I see "a whole" in a document I wanted to
print out,so I have to use a pen and manually "fill in the blanks" which is ...

Just purchased a Maxtor external HDD (100gig Personal Storage USB 2.0) .
Have a question please.
I can't foresee any situation where I would be disconnecting this drive from
the computer while windows is operating, but if I even have to reinstall XP,

I am designing a control box for speakers and a headset (attached to my
computer). I know what to do, but I have not been able to find what
values the volume control potentiometers for the speakers and the
headset earphones should be.

I have a system that when I power it up, it goes into a prompt asking
if I want to boot into Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode
with Command Prompt, Last Known Configuration, or Windows Normally.  I
have chosen each option and the Windows logo comes up with the moving

I have long known that Windows XP tends to uninstall the driver when a
USB device is removed, so that when the device is reattached, the
driver must be installed again.  I have dealt with this by keeping USB
devices always attached and turned on, but I now have a situation

I have a UPS that weighs about 10 lbs.  I was thinking that most
computer shutdowns are often just power flash outages.  I am guessing
that a battery large enough to keep a computer only up for say 5 min
would not weigh that much or would cost any more than the production

I'm not sure if you can help me on this but I just got a new game called
"The Sims 2 University" and I try to play it and it works but then it freezes
and I have to press my windows button to get out of it. Well after that
happens two messages pop up and my system is completely ...

Here's my problem...
All of the sudden, for no discernable reason, flash drives don't show
up in "My Computer", although I do get the sound effect for plugging
them in and removing them.  They show up in "Safely Remove Hardware",
