About 3 weeks ago I bought the Logitech EX110 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse set. It comes with software which monitors the batteries and now after 3 weeks it's reporting that the batteries are critical. The ones that I've used are the Duracell AA's that Logitech supplied. I've spoken to my girlfriend who has a different Logitech wireless mouse but her batteries have lasted 3 years and are still going. Does anybody know if this is lifespan is normal (Which seems highly unlikely) or if there's a problem with the mouse or software? -- Kiltman67 01:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't sure if this should go in the humanities section or maybe the misc section, but...
I'm in a band (new album coming out tomorrow!) and I know a guy who said you could sign a deal with iTunes over the net and I assume one could just upload songs to them and eventually they'd be in the Music Store. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it? Thanks! NIRVANA2764 02:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
What would be the differences between the components of a computer informaiton system and the basic kinds of computer hardware components? I'm just confused by the difference between components of a computer information system and hardware, they seem the same. I'd appreciate it if anyone had any ideas. I know about Processor, input, output, storage, and communication devices, but I'm not sure which part that would fall under, and what thing or kind of thing would fall in the other category.

I recently built a new a computer. Everything's running real well except that I occasionally get an error message appearing in the event viewer that says:
"A driver packet received from the I/O subsystem was invalid. The data is the packet."
When this happens my sound gets very distorted and I'm often forced to reboot. All my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS) drivers are up to date and I've been unable to pinpoint what's causing this error. Anyhow, just wondering if anyone has any ideas what might be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

I think it's called starcraft.exe (IIRC) but I'm almost certainly wrong about the install directory. Replace them with the correct values. Run something.bat to spam your system with starcrafts -- froth T C 20:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
how to access a server?
I've just read that .mobi domains can be registered by the public tommorrow. I want to register one or two for a business I'm hoping to start - not cybersquatting.
Could anyone tell me the most direct and quickest way to do it please? And could I register a name for my business that dosnt exist yet? Amd does anyone know the exact earliest time (for London UK local time) I could register? Thanx. 81.104.12.94 18:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
i am sorry if you pain to answer a question so simple, but i am hopelessly computer illiterate. i want to know how i can change the size of my small pictures so they will fit the background of my desktop without being pixelish.
thank you a ton 142.161.231.45 19:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
There are various options provided when assigning a wallpaper, such as tiling a small pic or stretching it to fit the screen. StuRat 23:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
pretty simple question. instead of having a url such as www.site.com/index.html how would i go about saving it as www.site.com/index/ so it looks better and can be accessed easier? 70.80.66.195 20:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Limewire and similar systems are blocked in my university campus. is there any way around this? Ken 20:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I am looking to buy an LCD or plasma HDTV. I have a few requirements, and i haven't yet found one that meets ALL of them. If you know of one, please advise me of the make and model name, and/or website or retailer you saw it at.
these are the requirements i have:
one more question. which gives better overall picture quality, 1080i or 720p?

Does anybody have an E-Mail address or a link to a web form for Logitech technical support? What I've found already was useless, took me an hour to find a web form, which I found by accident through information about the Webmaster. Two week since sending the E-Mail I'm still awaiting a reply so I don't have much faith in the particular page. -- Kiltman67 20:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager
This is a bizarre problem that is hard to explain, so bear with me please, folks. I have a computer here that is using a USB keyboard. For several weeks, the keyboard has been plugged into a USB socket on the back of the PC without incident. Then, a few days ago, it stopped working. Eventually, I got it working again by plugging it into a different USB socket, thinking that one socket was defective. The next day, this second socket did the exact same thing, as did a third the day after. Device Manager reports no problem devices, and a quick blast of compressed air into the ports (to dislodge dust, etc) was to no avail. I can't imagine this being a problem with the USB Controller/Driver, as if either of them failed, all USB ports would fail in one go, correct? It cannot be a Keyboard Controller failure, as a spare PS/2 is working fine. What is going on? The PC is a Packard Bell NEC, about 4 years old, 1.9GHz P4, built for WinXP. I don't know what model it is; I acquired it for spares when Windows corrupted without the manual or restore CD, and Packard Bell's website is currently down.
