    Blinking LCD - Monitor or Integrated Graphics?

    Hello. Two of my users recently began experiencing problems with new computers / lcd monitors, and I'm trying to determine which is causing the problem. Changing the refresh from 75 to 60 HZ on one of them fixed the problem and from 60 to 75HZ on the other "fixed" the other one temporarily...

    Terminal Services (remote desktop) Printers

    Anyone here know of a laser printer that works right out of the box with terminal services? I'd prefer not to go with HP, simply because their DOT4 port printers are such a huge hassle. Thanks, Justin

    Power Savings... challenge questions (antithetical questions)

    Hi all. Okay, so I've been watching that little dial in my electric meter spin lately, and I've been thinking, Geez, that little bastard moves faster than my neighbor's do, and while I do like things running as fast as possible, I don't want an overclocked electric bill... Question #1 - I...
