I will totally undermine Mousit's purpose, warping it to bend to my own will. Yah hah! [IOW, sorry]

OK, I, too, have a computer problem. Now, I know next to nothing about this little off-white collection of boxes that I'm typing on, so you'll excuse me if I make any faux pas or errors or shtuff.

OK, a bit ago I had to revert the 'settings' thingee [when the computer starts up, not in Windows] to default. The printer promptly stopped working. The settings I can find are correct to the best of my knowledge. When I try to print, I get a message that says something about an invalid port... or printer not comfigured to correct port... something like that. I checked and it's plugged completely into the correspondingly labled hole. I've tried to copy the message, but it won't let me and it disappears if I try to type it using a separate window. I get this feeling that it's one of those stupid little things that people would have assumed I already tried.

Don't lose any sleep over this. I'm just wondering if there's some amazingly simple wonder cure- y'know, like, whack the monitor or something- that even I can understand and apply.
