HP1100A parallel printer/scanner

CokeFrog22
Printing works fine under Win2k, as well as doing a manual copy; however, the scanner piece just does not want to work. Installed all of HP's software and updates(from their webpage including their Win2k scanner patch), and nothing seems to work.

Hard disk restarting itself at 5:43pm and 5:43am..wierd

wind
Well, ive been having this encounter for quite awhile now and it has really started to bother me. The problem is, every day at 5:43pm and 5:43am, my hard disk turns off and then turns on again. I think this is around the time I originally installed windows2000, and am wondering why it is doing this.

Geforce TV-Out - Any Good?

ODiN
I'm thinking of getting either an GF2 MX or a GF2 GTS card (Elsa Gladiac to be specific), and I was curious what you people thought of the quality of the TV-Out put in Windows 2000. First of all does it work well, and secondly is it good for watching DVDs / divx / mpeg movies? I have a G400 now, so I'm sure the qua ...

Weird mousewheel problem....

KalleAnka
I have a Logitech cordless desktop, the first sort that hit the market. Now I have run into a strange problem, the wheels scroll function on the mouse works on what seems to be a random basis. If I put fresh batteries in, the wheel usually works for about three minutes and then it stops.

Curious

thestickman
A few weeks ago I gave beta 1 a nice whirl and was, for the most part, VERY impressed. I was running a Celeron 333 overclocked to 500 at the time and my box had (still has in fact) 256 megs of ram. My big complaint at the time was the larger amount of ram the OS used over win2k.
