I have a laptop connected wirelessly and a desktop running from a modem. Both are connected to a Brother printer. The laptop via wireless connection. The desktop hard wired via USB. Both print OK. Here's the problem. When printer is turned on and I print from it, somehow my desktop shuts down. I have searched and searched, but no so;ution as to what is causing this. I did however found a work around. I must turn printer on FIRST then the desktop. Doing this, both machines print with no problems. The laptop does not shut my desktop down when it prints. However when I turn on my desktop, and then printer , when I print wirelessly from laptok, it will shut down the desktop.....

Hello everyone, I just noticed that I have a very large folder in my Windows directory named IE7. It is in blue and looks like it is necessary if I want to UNINSTALL IE 7. That being the case, I am wondering if it is safe to delete the folder? Thanks Ron B

Here's my situation...I am on line ALWAYS with RoadRunner. However and for the past two weeks I have been getting (occaisionally) maybe tweice out of ten times the following. A little box stating "No connection to the Internet is currently available". And I have a choice to "Work off line" or "Try Again" When I select "Try Again" I immediately go on line. That is crazy because I am always connected thru cable and RoadRunner. I have (I hope) attached a file showing this. No_connection_box.doc Any help?? Thanks Ron

Yes. Print preview does work. It shows what is "supposed" to print

All word processors recognize the printer and "TRY" to print in fact it sounds like the cartridges are working but nothing prints it is a blank page....now dont say anything about ink levels they are full...if fact I can print from my e-mail and the Web pages but nothing on any word processors (Word, Notepad, or Wordpad)

Running Windows XP with all the required "stuff" including SP2. However I cannot print from MS Word, Notepad, or Word pad.....but I can print from the internet and my e-mail messages. Does anyone know why???? I have searched and found and deleted the "Normal.dot" file in Word, restarted it and still cannot print from Word. I have no idea where to go from here I thought I would be able to print using Notepad or Wordpad, but no go with either of those either. Help!!! Thanks Ron

Thanks for the quick response.... Yes, I have the comments column selected on the CD. I have noticed however when I go to burn it states: "This file has other data connected to it which may be lost if you continue to burn, do you wish to continue" I always select yes and perhaps that "data" is the comment column??? The type of files are several...exe,dll,jpg, doc, etc quite a variety. Ron

I am burning some files to a CD and want to burn ALL the info from Windows Explorer (such as size,type AND COMMENTS) Everything does burn but NOT the "Comments" column. Any ideas??? Thanks Ron
