    EPSON STYLUS 1290s help required urgently

    I don't see many printer-specific threads in here ... does anyone know where I can get some specific help for issues with setting up a custom page size on an EPSON STYLUS 1290s? Am pretty desperate for help, and EPSON seem to be mac-haters when it comes to their eChat support (i.e. it just...

    Change target of Iframe using javascript

    I am using this code: document.getElementById("storyframe").src=newSrc; where newSrc is a variable containing the new address, to change the contents of an Iframe whose ID is 'storyframe'. It works fine in Firefox, Exploder and Safari, but it does nothing whatsoever in Opera. Any ideas why...

    Grids and guides locked up ...

    I have Freehand MXa (2004, I believe) installed on a G5 Apple Macintosh suite (and yes folks, licencing is all above board, so there's no security complications), and it seems to be struggling with guides and grids. The problem is that neither the menu commands nor the keyboard shortcuts work...

    Webcam woes

    I have just bought a couple of Mikomi m6225 webcams, and they both do the same thing when plugged in ... streaky black lines interlaced with video feed. I have NO idea what's causing this, but it has done the same with both cameras on 2 Windows XP computers. Can't be a fault with the hardware...

    Word is SO slow ...

    I have Microsoft Office 2000 installed on my computer which runs on Windows XP - when I had Windows ME I didn't experience that many problems, but now that I've switched to XP (with a new computer), Word in particular is giving me SO much grief. It doesn't like anything with tables in it, and...

    Display problems - monitor or graphics card?

    Something weird happened to my display recently - after the computer woke up from hibernation the screen had a red cast to it - I can still see everything all right, it's just that now everything is red! I'm not sure whether it is my graphics card or my monitor causing the problem ... the...

    IRQ holder problems

    I have just installed a SCSI PCI card in my machine, and it doesn't seem to be able to find it. I looked in the Device Manager - no sign of it - ran Install New Hardware - not picked up - even installed the drivers by hand ... still nothing. I ran System Information (in desperation!) and this...

    Enabling DMA on CDROM drives ...

    I'm trying to rip CDs using Digital Audio Extraction ... ripping info in digital format straight from the CDROM. Problem is that although I have digital audio enabled for the CDROM through the device manage, I'm still only able to rip at about 0.9x realtime. I am now incline to think that it...

    Need help with DAE setup ...

    I'm trying to find out how to connect my CDROM up for digital audio extraction. There is a port in the back of the CDROM unit for a lead, but I don't have a lead, and even if I did I don't know where to connect it to! I read somewhere that DAE bypasses your soundcard ... does this mean that...

    Need help eliminating CSS lag

    I have a problem that has been bugging the CRAP out of me, and I want to know if anyone can help (before I shoot myself!). I have a page written in XHTML Transitional, with an imported CSS (using @IMPORT so that older browsers will show only the 'plain' version). My problem is that every time...

    HD access is SOOOOOOO slow ...

    Something has happened to my HD within the last couple of days - I switched it on the other day, and it was taking AGES to boot up ... each time I started it after that it only got worse. Eventually I did a scandisk, which upon completion (8 hours to scan 8Gbs) told me the disk had 33 corrupt...

    First home network ... help!

    I am thinking about setting up a home network, mainly for sharing of an internet connection via a cable modem. I've got PCI Network cards for both machines, and the modem can run off an ethernet connection ... what I need to know is, what sort of hub/switch do I need to get, and will it mean...

    System freeze in IE6 ...

    I have installed Windows ME on my little Frankenstein Machine (PIII 500MHz, 256 RAM), and it was all going brilliantly until a couple of weeks ago. I'm still building my software collection, so I can't pinpoint it to something I installed, but I am now experiencing system freezes during IE6...

    Buying replacement keys for PowerBook G4

    I need to know where I can get replacement keys for the G4 PowerBook 15" (non-backlit keyboard). My left shift key cap broke - the scissor mechanism is fine, but I can't find anywhere in Apple's site to buy replacement key caps! Someone help!!

    CDROM on its last legs?

    My CDROM has just started causing problems ... after 5 odd years. For a start, Windows ME recongnises it okay, and says it is working fine. But when I insert a CD (and I have tried a number of different CDs, trust me) nothing happens. I try to open the CDROM drive through My Computer and get...

    IE support for ASP pages ... ?

    Hi - this probably isn't like the rest of the questions in this section ... recently my browser (IE6) has started to refuse to load ASP pages. It just kicks me on to the 'File not found' page as soon as a request for an ASP page is made. It's really starting to get to me, because all of the...

    Primary Slave Drive not recognised by WinME

    I hope someone can help me with this ... it's driving me up the walls! I bought a 20Gb hard drive to bolster up the rather pitiful 4Gb HD that originally came in my machine (this was about 4, maybe 5 years ago). I tried to install it as a primary slave ... hooked it up, pluged it in and...

    Dynamic Text Formatting

    In response to a recent post about dynamically formatting text, I thought it might be cool to include some usability features around dynamic textfields as standard. Here's a demo - I think I'll tinker a little more with it, but the essence is there...

    Frames problems in Netscape

    I have a frameset document which works perfectly in IE, but not in Netscape. Here's the layout of the frameset: 3 columns - 1*,750,1* the middle column has 5 rows - 1*,75,306,19,1* The probelm is that in Netscape the middle colum won't assign the rows properly. As best I can tell, they are...

    Why does my text move between editing sessions?

    Actually that's a bit stoopid - I know WHY, I just don't know how to fix it. Here's the situation - raise your hand if it sounds familiar ... you type some stuff into Flash, it might only be 2 words, it might be a whole sentence. You change the line spacing for extra precision display. You...
