Virus/malware scan, Could be one of them trying to query the system for information but is using bad syntax.

But any more information would help narrow it down better.

If the Default passwords fail, you can just reset it

It would seem that either your ink is low in the other colors or, if it's a multi-cartridge printer) the head could have dried on ink.

If it's a case fan then you will be OK for a while mainly depending on what in there, but normally you can just open the side up and make sure there is good air flow. If its on the; CPU, Chipset or...

Glad it fixed them for you.

As for a different browser, I suggest Firefox, its just so much safer then IE and better, there is also Google's Chrome, but its still in Beta, but very nice still.

Just to make sure, you did install the driver for the wireless card and made sure its enabled.

Check the settings in the software that gets installed (probably running down by your clock), there might be a setting to only print Grey scale.

Try disconnecting the printer, Uninstall the driver, Reinstall a fresh driver downloaded from the manufactures website. And make sure not to plug the printer back in until the software tells you to,...

Are you hosting the DNS record for the domain there? Or is it just an internal network DNS for you internal computers, if its hosting the name I would double check the DNS record and make sure its...

It Would seem that way, but we learned the hard way about it, and blew 2 brand new power supplies by putting them in a dell. Could be that because there was no load on the -5v that caused it.

The fact that its only after the OS finishes loading could be a color profile that's messed up.

You can see if there is, if any, loading by going to

Start -> Control Panel -> Display ->...

From what I can find (not much, Sony doesn't even have it listed anymore) it should have a standard PCMCIA slot on it, and in that case any PCMCIA wireless card will work as long as it has drivers...

Ok, maybe not proprietary in the terms of "it wont fit" the problem here is that Dell is the only PC manufacture, that I know of, that use this version of the ATX spec and most if no all power...

Ive seen this problem if you try to use the MSN messenger client that came with XP. You need to download Live messenger

Windows Live Messenger

Check heat also. CPU is probably cooling down when you are trying to restart, thus causing it to fail a few times.

Check for

Dust/Hair
Stuck/noise Fans
Crooked CPU Fan

Left out an important step
*Only plug the scanner in when you are told to. NEVER before you run the driver setup

Looks like a virus, found some info here

Well if your doing the copy manually from inside windows you can put the data anywhere on the 320 drive (OS partition or 2nd partition) As for it causing data loss, it shouldn't, unless your ghosting...

Agree. There are ways to do what you want, but they should only be used when YOU loose YOUR passwords.

Need a little bit more information, such as the browser your using, and what sites are giving you problems.

Off the top of my head I would check your font size, or also try resetting your browsers...

As far as tweaking the program, I don't know, that up to the developer to add the options to do more.

Sorry, just saw that it was a laptop. So you can't really open it up.

But again it could be the fan or dust clogging it.

When you first turn on the laptop, they usually spin the fans up. See if...

Still could be heat related, Check that all the fans are spinning and that the heat sink is on tight, Just had a customer that one of the CPU heat sink mounts broke and was causing the CPU to over...

Same thing

You install 2 pieces of software on the 2 machines,

One is a controller (your main PC) and one is the slave (a laptop or another desktop)


You can also connect to more then 1...

Yes, there is a cool application called MaxiVista that I have played with before. It uses your network so there is no hardware involved.

1) video card has had heat damage causing memory issues on it.
2) your LCD is bad. And if its an entire line, your out if luck, one stuck pixel...

If the "bad" computer powers on and you can see the Bios, then you car give UBCD a try, just download and burn it to a CD on your other PC.

Give CCleaner a go, might be a ton of temp files

Another option is to see if your on-board sound supports Dolby Digital, it will send surround sound encoded signal that I would think most surround sound speakers would understand(my little wal*mart...

Not sure what the need would be, seeing as how all US outlets are ~115V. Unless your hooking up to a Dryer outlet.

In any case, setting the switch wrong will blow your power supply

Most Dell power supply's are in fact Proprietary. They do not have the -5v, check the old power supply to see if it has the white wire on the main 20pin connector, if it does then you are OK but I...
