    - Passwords I have just run software which analyses the hardware and software of a computer. I was surprised to see passwords to ISPs and Outlook Express accounts which, in use, are hidden by blobs. I already knew that it is very easy to discover passwords to MS Office files. Access to passwords probably goes much wider than this. Let this be a lesson. You may not have a file containing all your passwords for someone to steal your information. It is already on the computer just waiting to be harvested, possibly remotely! This strengthens the argument for removing and destroying the hard disk(s) of any computer before disposing of unwanted computers.

    - Raid 1 and Drive Replacement We currently have (2) 320GB drives set up as Raid 1. The drive is partioned 50GB for the boot partition and the remainder for data. We want to replace the drives with (2) 500GB ones. We want to replace one and then use the Intel Raid utility in Windows to rebuild it. When that is complete, we want to replace the other one and do the same procedure. We would like to end up with the additional space on the data partition. Will this work? -- Thanks!

    - Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 does not work after hibernation state Hello! I have got an Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000. the LifeCam dies not work after the computer was sent to hibernation and came back from it. I have got other devices sticking in other usb hubs that function with no problems (usb flash drive, a keyboard, external hard drive ). When the cam was up and running prior to hibernation or while hibernation :-), everything will be fine. Also, what I can do was to un-plug and to re-plug the cam to the same hub. That's but no clue since I had to un-plug and to re-plug the cam each time. When I run the program after hibernation with no prior preparation the cams image(s ) will not show up, but a black square only and the green light on top of the cam does not flash Was any one used to the problem and can help? Thank you, Steve Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330298

    - Internet explorer I disabled the internet explorer services. However, everytime I logon to the computer, the internet explorer seems to start up automatically first before i open any other programs. It's not listed either in the start-up directory..where could the cause of this problem be? In the task manager..its not showing in the application tab but in the processes tab, its showing there. I also notice that there is a system alert message saying spyware "Trojan-spy.win32@mx that pops up at the taskbar. Could that the virus be the cause???

    - Dell Inspirion refuses to charge battery. The battery on my 2 year old, out-of-warranty, Dell Inspirion E1505 was almost dead ( about 6 min. charge retention). A new Dell battery was around 200$ and hence I bought a replacement battery from Kahlon (guaranteed to be E1505 compatible) for half the price. After I swapped in my new Kahlon battery my Dell beeped on boot-up and issued a warning of the sort: "Unrecognized battery type; Will not be able to charge". Pressing F1 allowed me to ignore this and continue. I kept the AC charger connected for about 12 hrs to get the battery its recommended initial charge. Subsequently I disconnected AC power and proceeded to work on the battery till it drained fully (about 4 hours). Laptop worked fine. (all the while the battery charging LED blinks green/orange) On next recharges same warning recurs. F1 allows me to bypass. Only difference now the battery does not charge at all. On AC adapter disconnect the laptop immediately dies. Double clicking on the power bar gives me all the battery details including Amp-hrs, manufacturer etc. Charge %age always remains at zero. I have no clue how to fix this! I suspect its the right battery but some Dell trick that prevents me from using anything other than their expensive "official" battery. No proof but a strong suspicion. Unfair. Debug steps so far: 1. Tried booting from a Knoppix Live Linux CD. Still same warning. Will work only so long as I have the adapter. /proc/acpi/battery recognizes all battery details. Charge %age remains zero. 2. Tried BIOS. No battery recalibration options. No user-changeable battery settings at all there. Probably Dell "sanitized" the BIOS to some custom-version. 3. Only one BIOS flash upgrade listed on Dell website for this model. Its only an optional update. Too chicken to try it yet lest I end up with an "expensive doorstop" Any help at all is greatly appreciated! If I can help it I do not want to pay Dell 200$ to inject new life into a laptop that cost $700 2 years ago! -- Rahul Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330270

    - Transfer data from 'failed' hard drive I had a disk boot failure on a faltering hard drive that I could not resolve. I have fitted a new hard drive and can access the old hard drive but I cannot make the 'files and settings transfer wizard' move my data across. If I simply copy programs across most do not activate. Is there a way to move the whole drive across so that my settings/access are restored ?? I have Acronis True Image 10 on the old drive and back ups on a currently disconnected drive - but the True Image program suggests I reinstall it. Will there be a problem reactivating my OEM XP once I restore my internet connection? Only the hard dive has been changed. JeffT Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330259

    - USB Mouse driver I uninstalled & reinstalled my USB ports/hub to try to solve a stop error now WinXP won't run my usb mouse. I plug it in & the Found New Hardware Wizard pops up, but then it says it can't find the driver. I've tried different mice with the same result. Right now I'm using my laptop mouse plugged into a serial port. Everything else that's usb works fine. I've tried looking on Microsoft's site, but I guess I'm using the wrong search terms or something. It's a Logitech corded optical mouse & their site says to use Windows native driver.

    - PC won't start? Philips iQoun PC with an MSI MS-7071 m/b. At switch on there's a quick display of the boot screen then the monitor switches back to standby, can't even get to BIOS Setup. There are no POST beeps at all. All fans are running and no dust inside it. The PC appears to be still booting because the HDD activity LED is flashing but here's the odd thing, it's still flashing even with the HDD totally disconnected, both power and data. Also have DVD drive disconnected. Checked CMOS battery with multimeter, it's above 3V. Also tried clearing CMOS with onboard jumper. Tried reseating RAM. Graphics and audio are onboard on this. Almost certainly hardware fault but where to start, CPU, RAM, PSU or m/b itself? Any advice appreciated. -- Kenny Cargill Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330212

    - iTunes 7.6.x: Can't find, delete or Last Played custom genre non-DRM Since upgrading from iTunes 4.9 to iTunes 7.6, I have been unable to seach for or delete songs in my Music folder, or in any Playlist, that uses a custom genre. These are non-Digital Rights Management songs (like free podcasts and CD rips). I can view the songs in their custom smart playlist folders, I can play them in iTunes and on my iPod, but I cannot find them in the iTunes Spotlight search, I cannot delete them in any view, and they do not show a "Last Played" date even when I know they have been played and other, non-custom genre files show a Last Played date. None of these problems existed before upgrading (I didn't want to upgrade from 4.9, but Apple forced me to do it to regain access to my purchased songs). I have an iPod mini and I keep all my songs on my iPod (with the exception of purchased DRM songs downloaded from iTunes store, which are in a folder on my computer). Windows XP SP2 Any ideas how I can force iTunes 7.6.x to treat my custom genre songs like any other non-DRM song and allow search, deletion and play history? Thanks.

    - SATA DVD burner not working in Windows XP I just bought a SATA DVD burner (Samsung SH-S203N) from newegg.com and I am having some problems with it. When I open the tray it comes out and then automatically goes back in without me doing anything and before I can put a CD/DVD in the tray or take a CD/DVD out of it. This is most annoying. I have a dual boot machine with Linux on it and this does not happen in Linux. So, I am assuming that there is some setting in Windows that maybe I should be able to change to fix this. Anyone know how to fix this? Z.K. Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330194

    - XP hangs on boot with 4gig of DDR3 on line installing Mup.sys XP runs fine with 2 Gig of DDR3 mem installed. MoBo is DX38BT, cpu is Cr2D E8400 3GHz. When i add 2nd set of CD3X1024-1800C7D mem sticks for a total of 4 gig system bios sees it, but XP hangs on boot up at: "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\Mup.sys" boot up hangs at this line and will not proceed. Boot up into Safe Mode will work but system will hang if trying to boot up normal at that line listed above.

Take the two sticks out leaving 2 gig of exact same ram and system boots fine with out any problems. -- Frank Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330175

    - Cards in AGP slot do not work I recently cleaned the dust out of my desktop machine and since then I have not been able to get my GForce 5200, or an older AGP card to work. At first I would get the boot screen before the monitor went black. Now I uninstalled the unidentified video device and I get nothing. I still get video from the VGA connection installed on the Motherboard (Intel D865GBF). I have let the wizard search for drivers but none are found. I have reinstalled the Nvida driver from a CD, but that does not help either. In device manager I also notice that there is no entry for display adapters. I have tried to follow the steps outlined in Article 200435, but there is no \Device\Video entry in HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\hardware\DeviceMap\Video ending in \Device0. Can anyone help me get my dual monitor display back up? I would be grateful for any attempts to help. Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330146

    - FAT32 DVD-RAM cannot be written to This is for an XP Pro SP2 laptop with an optical drive supporting no-cartridge DVD-RAM discs, which we want to use for shared data backup. I used XP Disk Management to format a new 3x Panasonic DVD-RAM disc to FAT32, which is supposed to have native read/write support through Windows Explorer. But when I create new folders on the drive in Explorer, it lists the folders with shortcut icons and the Explorer contents pane gains a header: "Files waiting to be written to the CD." That seems wrong, but if I play along and click "Write these files to CD," I get an error message along the lines of "disc is full or is the wrong type of disc." Anyone know what's going on here?

    - Stop error & USB I've been looking for an answer for awhile now & can't seem to find one. Almost daily I get a Stop: 0X000000D1 error with USBPORT.sys-Address F6E7A2B5. I'm pretty sure it's a driver error cause it starts with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I've seen messages here about removing the USB drivers & re-booting Windows but I'm wondering if Windows will reload the drivers automatically. I don't have the disk for XP, or at least I can't find it. The ports on the side front of the box have now quit working, I get a message that the hardware attached has malfunctioned, but then it works fine in the port on the back. This all started after I installed the drivers for a Samsung mobile phone & yes I've uninstalled the drivers but it didn't help. I also tried a System Restore & that didn't help either.

    - Drive naming. I switch an external hard drive between two PCs. Upon doing this I discovered that this drive named (H) under PC1 was recognized as (I) when it came back to PC1. The problem is I have an application that recognizes the location of stored maps as (H: ..... maps) and I cannot access them anymore. The application does does not allow redirection and I have so many maps I can't do it one by one. Is there a way to force this drive to be recognized as (H) when there is none that have taken that letter? Thanks, Pierre Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330068

    - XP Installation problems- please help! I have a laptop which was runnning Windows 2000 and I'm trying to install Windows XP on it. I did manage to get it on but I must have made some mistake somewhere as on startup it was giving me the option to boot into either XP or Windows 2000. Before explaining the current status I should just explain exactly what I'd like to acheive ideally. One hard drive (C) with the full amount of storage space (10GB) running Windows XP. That's it! Nothing more, nothing less. So I have tried to do a few things- deleting partition, re-installing XP and now I'm really confused! When I startup now, I get 3 choices from the boot screen: Windows XP Home Edition Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Setup If I select Windows XP Home Edition it says: Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. COuld not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documemntation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. If I select Windows 2000 Professional it gets me into Windows 2000. If I go to Computer Management>Disk Management there it reads: C: 5GB FAT32 - Primary Partition Unallocated 4.36GB Right-clicking on either of these doesn't give me an option to either delete or format. If I try Windows XP Home Edition Setup it says: Welcome to Setup To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER Insert the CD labeled Windows XP Home Edition CD ROM I then put in the disk and press enter. I then get the following screen: The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer 9586MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MPR] C: Partition1 (VAIONOTE) [FAT32] 5122MB 979MB free Unpartioned space 4463MB If I press 'D' on C, it says: Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on the slected partition. This partition contains temporary Setup files that are required to complete the installation. 'D' doesn't work on the unpartitioned space. If try to set up on C, it says: The partition you have chosen is too full to contain Windows XP which requires a drive with at least 1033MB of free disk space. I also have the following options: To repair a Windows XP intallation using Recovery Console, press R To quite Setup without installing Windows XP press F3 So, what do I do????!!!

    - Problem with PaperPort program Hello everybody, I have been using the Visioneer One Touch 8700 scaner with the PaperPort 7.02 Deluxe program for years. Up to now everything was OK. Suddenly in the Scan Info window located in the lower left hand corner of the One Touch Visioneer Scan Manager Pro I got a red box with X and according to the help it appears if the file size exceeds available hard disk space. But it is not true - the available space on all my partitions is surely enough. For example now it is showing: Image Size: 2,83 MByte, Free Space 0kByte. The image size changes depending on what I scan, the Free Space is equal to 0 all the time. At the moment I can scan anything using default parameters only. When I try to change the parameters I get the following information: ScanManager Problem An unknown error has occurred. The program has encountered an unknown error with the selected settings. Reset the selected parameters and try again. Scanning with default parametrs gives very low quality results. I unstalled the PaperPort program and install it from the beginning but it didn't help. Please tell me how to get rid of the problem. Regards JA Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330036

    - Syskey on USB drive Hi, i have used Syskey on Floppy for years on customer Laptops. In january this year a customer wanted to use syskey (on XP) without a floppy. I have used USBDLM for mounting the USB devices to the drive letter A. USBDLM: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html I configured, that a usb-drive with a specific name should always be mounted to A, all others from G to J. So you can make a backup to another usb-stick, change the name to force the mount to A and use it in case of a broken or lost device. My concern is: if a usb-device is attached before a user is logged on to the machine and this specific device was not plugged in bevore on this machine, would it mount properly? This problem occured a few days ago: We used Pretec iDisk Diamond sticks. They are very small and handy. We also used the type with 128MB, mainly for preventing to use the device for other purposes as the logon process. Now we had following issues: The customer told me that he cannot log on to his laptop. The displayed message tells "syskey not found on drive A. Please insert disk" (Translation from german XP). I told him to use his backup-Stick (which was created on the same machine a few weeks ago) and he was able to logon. For investigation purposes i told him to plug in the "primary stick". When he plugged it windows reacted like it was a "new-and-never-bevore-plugged-in-device". Messages with installing drivers and "device can now be used" appeared. The next reboot, the "primary stick" worked again without problems...so far. Any ideas what happened here? Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 330026

    - Lite-On CD-RW/DVD drive not burning No matter which program I choose it doesn't recognize a blank disc and it's not recognizing that the drive is writable. Windows seems to, because the recording options are still available and they are infact enabled. I had this problem on my old computer, everything worked fine and then suddenly the drive stopped working. I've had this computer and this drive for 4 years with no problem and suddenly it has a problem. I'm deeply confused. It's a Lite-On Combo SOHC-5236V Driver date is 7/1/2001 Can't roll it back, not sure I should uninstall... Tag: External Modem and Remote Access Tag: 329996

    - Inaccessible hard drive Have 2 WDC 80GB drives. Normally, I connect only one at time. They are on removable trays. They connect via Promise 133 TX2 ide card. From this point on, I'll call the first one IDE1 and the second one IDE2. IDE2, I only connect to use as a target fro cloning purposes. IDE1 has system commander circa 2002 as boot manager. System commander is installed on a Windows ME partition as are its boot files and so forth. During my usual copy routine from the system commander menu for partitioning, found that IDE2 was inaccessbile. By that, I mean the LED on the removable tray for IDE2 lights up and remains that way for eternity. I've found same results using a Windows 98SE boot diskette, ME boot diskette, Linux boot diskette (kernel panic), windows 98SE explorer, windows ME explorer, XP SP2 explorer, WD boot diskette with WD hard drive tools. What's unusual about it is that from the boot diskettes, the IDE2 is accessed without me telling it do that. I've tried disabling onboard ide and SATA via bios. Same results. The only thing slightly different is when I put IDE2 in a firewire enclosure. Using disk manager, gives me a message that its accessing the IDE2. Then another message to please wait. Gave it 20 minutes, no change. When I right clicked properties of the drive, then indicated to populate, gave it another 20 minutes, nothing, I cancelled. A message popped up that indicated that one of the partitions may be of Windows 2000 nature. PC has never had 2K on it. What about this Windows 2000 thing? -- Dave How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months old? An actual war, we can do what's been done in the past.

Hi!
Does anyone know how to get Routing and Remote Access service to
"re-establish/reconnect" to a modem that has disappeared and reappeared again
(e.g to a temporary power failure). It seems that the operating system does
not automatically starts up the service and sets the DTR led on the modem.
Any idea?
Regards
Pat

This is will always be the problem since plug and play system will
always screw up when the "hiccups" of power causes the devices to show
up as "#2", "#3".
