I currently have an old laser printer but I want to get an inkjet printer for the color capability. I print mostly text documents but every now and then I want to be able to print something in color. I've heard about the costs of the ink cartridges and I need to know how many pages of text I...

I currently have a Pinnacle tv card and I'm thinking about getting the Visiontek Theater 550 Pro. I like the fact that the Pinnacle card and software shows the tv video without writing to the hard drive and compressing the video first, but the Theater 550 card does a lot of processing of the...

I want to add another tv tuner to my pc that records in better quality than the tuner I currently have but I want to leave the current one in there because it doesn't write to the hard drive when I'm just viewing tv. Is there any problem with doing this? My main concern is how the tuner...

This is especially a problem if they have LCD monitors of different sizes hooked up to the same computer. The LCD monitors will have different native resolutions so it will be impossible to set the computer resolution to optimize for all of them. I went into a retail store where they had...

Thanks for all the advice. I'm starting to feel a little better about LCDs if the washed out look can be largely fixed by adjusting the display settings. I thought that it was caused by the coating on the LCD surface. I did a comparison test by looking at a lamp reflecting from the surface...

The thing about LCD monitors that's always troubled me is how dull and washed out images look on them. I currently use a CRT but I'm in the market for a new monitor and started looking at LCDs. After seeing how dull the graphics are I really don't want an LCD, especially since I use my pc...

I have a new viewsonic p95f+ CRT and text in the center of the screen is blurry, it's ok off to the sides though. Any idea what would cause this and how to fix?

You guys were correct, the video card was slightly askew. I gave it a good push into the slot and everything is working now. If I knew you guys I would buy you a beer but instead you'll have to settle for this :beer: :D

Might be heat related. Is your computer running in an air conditioned room? Did the air temperature increase a lot lately?

I use Nero Mix for listening to music. It has an equalizer which makes a huge difference in sound quality.

I opened up the case and the video card looks ok. It's screwed in tightly to the chassis so I don't think it could have moved. The new monitor is a Viewsonic P95f+ and the old monitor is a Dell. I'm using a ATI 9700 Pro. I'm not using any kind of adapter. I don't think I waited more than a...

I just bought a new monitor and I unplugged the old monitor from the vid card and plugged in the new monitor. When I booted, I heard a long beep and nothing showed up on the monitor. I unhooked the new monitor from the vid card and plugged in the original monitor I was using and when I booted...

I have a P95f+ Viewsonic monitor. Do I need to install the driver on the CD that came with the monitor before installing the latest driver download from Viewsonic? Is it even worth installing the Viewsonic driver or should I just use the default Windows driver that gets installed automatically?

Why did you need another circuit installed? Did having the laser printer installed on the common circuit cause problems? And I meant that my lights stop flickering if I turn the printer off. :)
