Halo pls somebody help me where can i get the installation drive os a scanner hpscanjet2400 i have tried google cant find one pls help

Both are windows XP, SP 2 and patched to current status.
Laptop can connect to the internet through router. Just trying to get the data from 1 PC to the other.

A friend of mine has an older computer (she’s running Windows ME) and her USB drive quit working. I think she needs to update the driver, but her Computer doesn’t have internet access. Can I download the software and burn it on to a disk to give to her? If so, does anyone have the URL where I can download it from?

I have a Toshiba Satellite p25 S509 with Windows XP Home and 512RAM and 100GB hard drive bought at the end of 2003. I use Norton Internet Security 2007 and AVG for virus protection. About 6 months ago I had to have the motherboard replaced because it wasn’t receiving any power from the A/C adapter.

The screen constantly shakes and twitches; when it gets really bad, the top centimeter or two wraps around to the bottom of the screen and anything displayed is illegible. Sometimes, the bottom of the screen is more distorted than the top (it squishes, sort of). Right now it seems to do it more when a few programs are on, that wasn’t always true, however.

I’ve looked around on the internet and I’ve found a few possible causes: the graphics card (I don’t know how to test this possibility out), the a/c adapter (it was bought Dec. 2006), overheating (what to do, what to do?), virus maybe?, the amount of RAM…

Please, give me some advice on how to figure out what is wrong.
Thank you!
I would prefer to try and figure/fix this myself before consulting a business for help… mainly for financial reasons. I have never had a problem with my computer before the motherboard issue and that work was done by Best Buy because I still had a service plan on the computer; that is expired now. But… this problem might be related to that problem? I am good with working on desktop computers and upgrading them but I have never ventured far enough to open up a laptop…
Which drivers? I am updating everything that is in my computer (ie video card) that I can find on the internet… but there’s nothing external attached to my laptop (or anything I’ve installed on this computer for that matter). Instead of a new screen, could I use a monitor to fix the problem temporarily or would the problem carry over?

I have 3 computers, one wireless router and one external hard drive that I would like all computers to share.
