    Multiple Laptops to One Printer

    Hey fellas, I'm looking for the least expensive way to temporarily hook 4 laptop computers (Windows XP-based) to share one printer. The setup will only be used for one day at an outdoor booth (church event) so cost has to be minimal. Of course, all laptops are USB compatible as is the printer...

    No sound output

    I have a client that has a SB Live! (model CT4780) in his Dell desktop (running XP Pro) but cannot get any sound output no matter what source I try, whether it's playing mpg files from the HD, CDs in the CD-ROM, etc. In my troubleshooting I've checked: 1) mixer settings are correct 2) used...

    ATAPI Issue? Something else?

    Hi guys, I have a computer that is experiencing some problems with two CD-type drives. One of the drives is a DvD drive (Pioneer 105) and the other is a CD burner. Both drives act as regular CD-ROMs fine (they read data); but the DvD drive doesn't play DvDs and the CD burner doesn't burn CD-Rs...

    DVD drive issue

    I've got a Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-105 drive that automatically ejects any DVD disk put into it. All other disk-types (CD-R, CD-RW, Audio, etc) work just fine. When I load a DVD disk, the drive doesn't even give me a green light to indicate it is even attempting to read the disk - it just ejects it...

    DDR vs SDRAM

    Hello all, I've heard that DDR or RDRAM is superior to SDRAM, but I'm not sure why. I ask because I'm in the process of upgrading my system's RAM; currently it's got 512 megs of Mushkin CAS2 (PC-133) - which I thought was pretty fast. Also, since I still have an empty DIMM, would it be okay to...
