Problems installing a cd-rom
Yesterday I installed a 2nd CD/DVD rom. Immediately after, my computer
would only boot in "safe mode". When the rom drive(s) were disabled,
the pc was able to boot normally again. Basically, this 2nd cd-rom
won't install (it's brand new). The first one (A), which I've been
using for about a year works fine on it's own, but when I plug that
other one in, neither work.

XP Home & multiple scanner installation problem

used a while later. Then the HP doesn't work anymore: after uninstalling
BOTH, I get the HP not installed. During the installation I get this message:

Extremely odd issue with printing to shared printer
Hello,
I'm having a very strange issue with a shared printer.
I've changed the driver and the printer on the server, but kept the
same name as a previous printer.
I then run a script (on the client) that stops the spooler, removes
the driver from the registry, restarts the spooler.
I then install the printer using win32_printers.
If I then try to test print to the printer from...

Mouse still on after shutdown
After all these years I finally decided to ask this question.
When I turn my computer off using Start/Turn Off Computer/Turn Off, the read
light on my USB Microsoft Mouse remains on. Why is this? I suppose it is
because the USB ports stay hot after shutdown unless power is completely
removed from the computer either by unplugging or using the switch on the
back on the power supply.
