Hello, My Clevo W150HNM/W170HN laptop's monitor is headed south. For the past year I have been experiencing occasional cyan-colored pixelation on white areas, which can be corrected by jiggling the monitor. Now in recent weeks it has been flickering on and off, going black or gray or blue or olive drab for several seconds at a time. This occurs over a period of about five minutes, and then it...

Bizarre USB port issue

Hi all, Since the hard drive got replaced on my laptop about a year ago, I've only had one working USB port on my laptop. This hasn't been an issue, as I've coped by using a USB splitter. Unfortunately, my laptop has recently started to behave differently depending on what I plug into the splitter. For example, speakers always work when plugged into the splitter, as does my Numark Mixtrack...

The problem is that my Bluetooth mouse doesn't function in this 'in-between state' between DOS and Windows. My question: is there a way,...

Can I do this "through" the Vista machine if both are on the same network? If not - the printer has an Ethernet connector. Should I hook the printer up to my router (technically my switch), and if I do that, can I...
