have some spots on there that i dont know what they are or how to remove them?
Don't use anything that has ammonia or alcohol in it. This may damage the film on the LCD screen. It's important to note that LCD screens are not glass, so don't use glass cleaner on them.
Use a micro fiber cloth, not a paper towel.
I use the kit from http://www.pixelclean.com . It has everything that you need and it works very well.
Good luck.
I have a 19" LCD Dell flat screen monitor with small specks, when I try to pick them off with my fingernail they still stay. Also i tried using a soft cloth with some water and that put some light lines on my screen. I am wondering Is there anyway that these can be removed? I just got this computer screen and I really don't want tohave to replace it because of some specks and lines. Thank you very much!
Can you actually feel the specks? if not they are probably dead pixels.
If you have more than say, 10 of them, you should return it.
If you can feel them, but can't pick them off, you might want to try some windex. Though use SPARINGLY, repeated use can discolor the LCD due to the solvents.
Just bought a Vista pc with wireless
Was using the BT Home Hub with an ethernet cable before
Now the new desktop computer is wireless do i still need to plug in the ethernet cable?
Know with laptops you do not
But this is a desktop computer.
Also if not will the connection be as good?
No just plug your router in plug your lead into the
computer and away you go, good luck.

Is it possible that a Sony PC desktop and a Laptop from Sony can share one HP printer? If so what is the correct connection to use to share this? Or must I download certain software so that both computers are able to talk to the printer? Thanks. We only have a PC internet card not DSL on the DESKTOP..
You can do this several ways. The simplest route would be to set up the printer on the desktop, and share it to the laptop. This would require the desktop to be on and running Windows whenever the laptop needs to print. It would also require both computers to be on the same network, whether you have DSL or not. Alternatively, if you don't have a router but do have Ethernet ports on both computers, you can connect them directly to each other with an Ethernet crossover cable, readily available at computer/electronic stores.
Regardless of how you connect the computers, the key is that the desktop will act as a host for the printer, and the laptop will print to it as a "shared" resource. If you're using Windows XP or Vista, you have all the software you'll need. Assuming that's your environment, here's the basic drill in setting it up:
On the desktop:
1. Enable basic file/printer sharing on the desktop if it isn't already
2. Install the printer on the desktop as a local printer (i.e. on LPT1), again, if it isn't already.
3. Right click on the printer in "Printers and Faxes" and share the printer
On the laptop:
1. "Add printer" in "Printers and Faxes"
2. Select "a network printer" then "browse for a printer" on the next panel. Desktop must be on as well as printer, and you must be able to see the desktop on the network from the laptop ("Network places" for instance)
3. Select the printer on the desktop and add it. The driver is installed from the desktop- you don't need a disc or to do a download. If this step is successful, you're done.
Another way to go is to buy a print server like HP's Jetserve. But with the cost of decent inkjet printers under $100 you would probably be better served just buying a second printer if you are unable to go the network route. Good luck!

I have 2 computer towers, 1 does not have a mouse, keyboard or
monitor. Now, the old computer will not boot up without having the
keyboard,mouse and monitor connected. What I would like to do
is to connect my new computer to the old computer so I can use
the files on both computers using only my new computers keyboard,
mouse, and monitor.
What would be the easiest way to do this? Can I use a KVM switch
to "boot" both computers and then use a usb or someother simple cable
to directly connect the two computer and have access to both computers?
Thanks
You are exactly right. A KVM switch will let you use only one monitor, keyboard, and mouse. In order to share the files, you will need network cards in both pc's. Here, you can either get a crossover cable to connect the two, or a router, so that both can get to the Internet. The router will let both connect for things such as updating your antivirus programs on both pc's.
I would like to utilize two computers and show them on one monitor but the monitor doesn't have any Picture In Picture PIP capabilities. Is there a box that would take two VGA inputs, combine them, and output one VGA signal to be used by the monitor? I'm not allowed to buy another monitor, the standard setup is only one.
the only way i can think of is buy a video capture device, install it on one of the PC, connect the video output of the other PC to the video input of your capture device and fire up the included capture program.
that way, you can have the output of the other PC as a PIP
but that is not an elegant solution
i have never heard of any VGA controller/output that combines the input of two or more VGA input to display as one
I got a LCD Monitor for X'mas and would like to connect it to two computers on my desk. Can I do that? How? Do I need extr a hardwares or softwares ?
Thanks.
If you are lucky your LCD had 2 video inputs that you can switch between using buttons on the display.
If not, go for a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse switch) and share all 3 desktop bits. You can get KVMs that handle sound or USB as well… for more money.
Dont forget you will need cables for your KVM as well unless you buy one with cables built in.
I am working with a desktop computer and want to use a wireless connection from my neighbor, can this be done with a desktop computer?
if you have a wi-fi connection on your computer such as a card and wireless modem and if you are within range of your neighbors wi-fi modem it is possible, but not recommended as it is highly illegal. your best bet is to see if you neighbor uses cat 5 cable and run an additional line off of his router to your network card since it supports faster connect speeds than wi-fi.
