I have a Laserjet 5 with a JetDirect J4100A installed. It works perfectly over the parallel port. However, when I use the printer via ethernet on the J4100A, it will sometimes miss print jobs. Specifically, If I print several short jobs in quick succession, then the ones that are sent while the...

I have a Win2k SP4 system that seems to have a broken dialog box. I have installed IE6 SP1, MS Office 2000, Norton Antivirus, Tiny Personal Firewall, and installed all updates on Windows Update. I don't know when the problem appeared, but I didn't notice it until after everything was...

I received a Belkin Universal UPS 800VA at Christmas. I connected it to an old Compaq Proliant 800 which I use as a home firewall/server. According to the pdf manual I downloaded for the computer, the power supply should be 240W. The UPS is advertised to handle up to 450W. There is no...

I have a Hercules 3D Prophet II MX card, which uses the GeForce 2 MX graphics chip. I've noticed for a long time that it seems to produce an incorrect refresh rate. I'm using windows 2000 display properties to set the refresh rate. When I set 85Hz, the monitor reports 90Hz. When I set 75Hz...

The following is a simplified example of something I'm trying to do. My question is whether the if() statement at the bottom is technically safe from causing a segfault crash: typedef struct { HWND hWnd; /* other elements... */ } GTWindow_t; GTWindow_t **gtWindow=NULL; /*pointer to an...

A friend of mine has had a hard drive go bad on him. The system is a Gateway 433c, which was probably made in mid to late 1999. He says it's a Celeron 433 (hence the model number I suppose) and the original drive is an 8GB drive. He's asking for my help to replace it. I don't know if it...

I have an IBM Thinkpad A20m laptop, with an internal RJ-45 ethernet jack. Recently the ethernet cable was snagged when somebody tripped over it. Due to RJ-45's ingenious "save the cable!" design, the cable stayed firmly in the laptop and ruined the jack. The way these laptops are...
