I have multiple little questions that I will put here until I figure out which category all of them go too.
1. When I bring up task manager, the only thing that shows up is a button to shut down my computer.
2. I have a all-in-one HP Printer. When my computer starts up it will be stuck on a blank black screen with a flashing dash in the corner. I learned that when turning off my printer it will continue start up.
3. Again with the printer. When I open up the HP solution center, my screen changes resolution to a huge font and icons.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same issues.
4. Lastly and most important of all.
I bought the sims 3 and when I start it it says that I need Shader model 2. I have a all-in-wonder radeon 7500 graphics card. Lets just say it was brand new when i got my computer, so it's old. With research I learned the names of all of the graphics cards that have it. None that I saw were all-in wonder. I have not used it's features at all hardly but I am not sure if I switch to a plan graphics card my computer will change some how.
6. Where can I search all of these graphics cards at once and select the best cheapest one?
