My desktop PC uses Win7(32) and it has a wireless Optical mouse. Recently I changed the Mouse batteries and it continues to work ( red light underneath ). However, I'm experiencing rather odd effects when left-clicking to select items. ( eg in Wordprocessing and Video Editing which are far apart...

Here's a daft Q. When I print text, I specify "Black" and get just that....until the ink runs out and I replace the cartridge...this is what I've done for years. (For "Pictures" I specify "colour" and get reasonable prints on glossy paper.) Now however, if my Text contains colour-highlights...

This is an old PC....but still working OK, to contact you folks. Originally, the case-sticker says it had 128RAM and 19HDD (you understand these are MB and GB, I hardly need to ask)? I've changed the HDD, when the earlier one croaked, it's now about 300G and the memory is one slot empty, one...

System Background: My Dell Optiplex GX150 is quite old and after updating to XP,SP3 (which appears to be a continuous On-Line friend)..the Dell hardware monitor says the HDD controller is faulty. I've checked the internal leads, but suspect it may be wearing out and/or a component failure in...

I'm having some daily spam. . . . . and my ISP just suggested I open one and ask them to stop - now that sounds pretty dumb to me! - In IE5, I thought I'd stopped downloading emails until I click on them (so I look at the sender and subject before opening), but my ISP tells me the email must...

(solved-see End) This Compac is new to me, runs Win2000 and I added RAM to 512Mb Problem is it won't connect to the internet. My 100/10 cable modem makes the two chassis-lights work, (one winks), but using IE it refuses to visit any web-sites. I'm told (thanks for that) that IE...
