    Need a new 12" Notebook, recommendations?

    Good day everybody, Although I am a bit of a lurker, I have been using AT for some time and appreciate all of the expertise that posts here. I currently have a Dell Inspiron 700m that has served me very well for almost 4 years. I have never had a problem with it until recently the PCIe...

    Looking for a decent used photo printer

    Hi there, I am looking for a few recommendations for decent-quality photo printers that are out there. I am looking to buy used from the FS forum on this site, so if you're going to suggest a model, something not "just released" is what I'm looking for. I am just a Joe Blow looking to print...

    eMachines Drivers?

    I am trying to find a good CDROM/CDRW driver for my eMachines desktop computer, T2385. The CDROM is a LG CED-8080B and it won't pick up any CD's I put in it. The eMachines website does not have a CDROM driver listed for my model... any ideas as to where I can get a good CDROM driver for...

    Which fad, that has come about in the last 5 years, do you hate the most?

    The resurgence of Rap and Gansgsta crap music. However, to give them credit, I can watch their hoochie-filled videos on mute for hours on end... lol

    Older PC, USB/PS2 ports via MB add-on card

    I have an older PC (366MHz Celeron, 256MB of RAM) that I managed to install Windows XP on and I have some driver issues. I figured that XP would automatically recognize the USB 1.1 ports, but no-go. I just want to be able to use an optical mouse, can't imagine going back to a roller ball. I...

    Program to access flaky HDD?

    As the title suggests, I have a Maxtor 160GB HDD in a 3.25" USD 2.0 enclosure that is making some noise and certainly not so healthy. Once I plug it in to my PC, it seems OK and XP picks it up, but then it locks up my PC when I try to access it and/or manipulate any files on it. I know that...

    XP not searching online for new drivers?

    Weird issue... I re-installed XP a couple of nights ago on a fresh system with an ASUS P4P800 motherboard and when I did the usual "Device Manager" check, I had flags on the following items: -Ethernet Controller -Multimedia Audio Controller -SM Bus Controller -USB Controller -Video...

    Won't let me past the logon screen?!?

    Yikes.... I think I'll just F8 this thing to death, get into safe mode, dump their MP3's onto my remote HDD if the USB connections will still work in safe mode, that is.... Otherwise, I'll pull the HDD, install it as a slave in another PC, hook up my remote HDD that PC as well, then...

    Won't let me past the logon screen?!?

    OK, I have been enlisted to fix my aunt's family computer...yay! Her kids use this thing all the time, download tons of music, etc. so no doubt it's chock full of spyware and probably has a virus. Basically, when the PC gets to the logon screen, you can enter either of the passwds for the...

    Paperport alternatives?

    Looks like I broke AT. I did some research and I believe it was PCMag that I read the article in. It appears that no other program can make a .pdf into a "form" that you can fill out with text, like Paperport can.

    Paperport alternatives?

    Don't know if any of you have used Paperport before, but basically, it has a feature which allows you to open a .pdf document (say for example, a standard gov't form with blanks & checkboxes to fill in) and you could basically start typing directly in the fields that require filling. Very clean...
