Narnia Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 And there was I about to suggest to wait for British Summer Time to come and it would correct itself!

Izodia Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hmmmm, I just did this with dual screens at work. The left screen was turned 90deg left and the right one 90deg right. It took me a good 15 minutes to work how to get both straight again! At least I managed to sort it out without calling IT...

Brendan Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So not only does your 2 year old know more about computers than you but they also have a good sense of humour.

david_carnell Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Another question for any computer knowledgeable types out there:Having upgraded from a net book to a Dell laptop running Windows 7 I am having trouble installing my HP Laserjet 1010 printer. Although there isn't a specific driver available for Windows 7 I've followed online instructions to work around this involving a Vista driver. I have downloaded this driver.However, in the Control Panel I am unable to select "Add Printer" as a spooler error appears. I've looked up the problem online and been into "Run/msc.services" and my spooler isn't starting. It's dependant on a Remote Procedure Call which is working fine. Trying to manually start the spooler leads to a 1053 Error. The orginal error for the spooler is a 1813 Error Code.I'm now at a loss as to what to try next. Can anyone help me before I have to call out an expert? Many thanks.

vinceayre Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 In the past versions of windows I have used any "nearby" drivers and found that it worked ok. Try using another laserjet driver .the 1010 is quite an old machine, I have two of them so i know how good they are but it may be time to say goodbye.
