    EPSON Scan error message: "Cannot cummunicate with the scanner."

    OK, I feel really stupid now. I suddenly realized I hadn't tried a different USB cord, so I did, and it turned out the old cord had stopped working.

    Where can I buy a new/unused laptop with touch pad-mouse keys and without chiclet keyboard?

    Thanks for all your replies. I think I'm going to have to look for some new "old stock". Btw, isn't it ridiculous that it's simply impossible to find a laptop without chiclet keys (apart from the overpriced Alienware brand)? What made those keyboards take over, do most people prefer them or is...

    Where can I buy a new/unused laptop with touch pad-mouse keys and without chiclet keyboard?

    Max $700, but of course I prefer a much lower price if possible, if those main requirements I posted earlier are met. Actual size of the notebook itself (thickness etc.) unimportant. Screen size 16-17" would be nice, but would prefer at least 15". Doesn't matter. Low resolution will do. I'm...

    WD MyBook powers on but drive is quiet, won't appear in Windows - HELP

    Hello! Thank you for replying! The warranty is already expired, I've had this drive for several years. I was going to try connecting it using a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. So you're saying that will definitely not work once the drive is out of its enclosure? Is there any way around that? I did not...

    Batch recompress zip archives?

    They are all ZIP archives, but not all were compressed with WinRAR and some with different compression levels. I won't gain any disc space, at least not to the point where it will make a difference, I just like consistency. Please just tell me if it's possible and how

    Suggestion on good inkjet printer with cheap ink carts available?

    Hello, So here's the story... My HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP printer has been the worst printer I ever owned. The other day it finally broke down for good and I need a new printer. It sucks because I had bought several extra spare toners I had purchased so I wouldn't be completely out, and now...

    Official download link at Microsoft's server for DirectX 10.0?

    As my topic says, I need to find the official download page for DirectX 10.0 (for Windows Vista) at Microsoft's download site. I always find it very difficult to find what I need at that website, it seems whatever I search for I get results not related to what I am looking for. By the way is...

    Unfortunately not, it's one of these "mini PC" things (http://liliputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/x-26_02.jpg) with built in graphics... Is it not possible unless I have a nvidia card?
