Hi and Welcome !

Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file here.

There may be a temporary problem with the US mirror, so you could either wait for a while and then try again, or open your sources.list file and temporarily change all instances of ''.us'' to ''.uk'', then close, save, and reload Synaptic. To open and edit your sources.list file, execute the following command in the terminal:

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Thanks for the help but there no need anymore. I almost dropped the laptop today and when i caught it the screen flew open. Cant even get an image on it :'(

Thanks anyways

YES NEVER MIND! I can get it to work if i can get the screen in just the right angle.

He meant paste the contents of the sources.list, like you pasted the error message.

I know he did, but Linux Fourms wont let me paste urls until i have 15 posts, so the attachment was the next best thing

Oh, okay, I get ya. Anywho, how long have you had this 404 error?

Always i havent had debian for very long

If you want a more exact answer, then about 4 days?

Just ignore the error, as it appears to be minor and temporary, plus your sources look fine. Also, I noticed that non-free is enabled, so you may also want to add the unofficial multimedia repo, which you can do by following the instructions at Debian Multimedia Packages::Home.
