    - Modifying Advanced Com Port Properties Hello, I have a user that requires changes to the Com Port Advanced Properties (Device Mgr>>Ports>>Com1>>Properties>>Port Settings>>Advanced). The next thing I see is the message "You must have write privileges in the registry for this device in order to modify the devices advanced settings". This is being attempted from an admin-level local user account, so it is unclear where these privileges would originate other than Administrator-level permissions. This appears to be a default setting as it is the same on every one of several PCs I have looked at in researching this up to this point. I have also looked at the registry for any clues, but hate to rummage through there more than necessary. Has anyone had occasion to modify these settings and how did you do it?

    - How many monitors? Can anybody tell, why Device Manager shows two display adapters and three monitors in my XP box - all present and in good state? I have only one Dell LCD monitor, connected to the digital port of a Gigabyte GA-G333M (onboard Intel G33 video) Once the monitor was plugged into the VGA connector. Is this a bug of the Intel display driver or what? All this works well (knocking on the wood) but now I need to find the *real* adapter and monitor by code.

    - Computer dead Hello - I have a 5 year old Gateway Media Center XP. In the last year I've replaced the hard drive and the bios battery. Last night, without warning my computer shut completely down - just went black. I tried restarting to no avail. Nothing turns on - not the fans or a hiss of the hard drive. I unplugged the computer overnight - did not start this morning. I opened it up, the only sign of electricity is a green light on the motherboard that lights up when the power is connected. Thoughts/ suggestions? Thank you, Tom Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330559

    - ATI 256mb cards prevent hibernation in XP I have a DELL Vostro and an ATI 256Mb card (WIN XP PRO SP2). I can put the PC into hibernate but when it comes out of hibernation it freezes up with a BLUE screen saying there is a problem with the ATI2DVAG driver. I have searched the NET for updates but this is the current driver. I have noticed in a number of other computers with these 256Mb cards and they always play havoc with hibernation. I don;t think you can hibernate a PC with these cards in place. Worse still even if you remove the card the problem persists as remnants of the driver are hard to remove. is there a fix for this? I have emailed DELL but I can guaratee they won't have a fix for this. i am sure others have this problem but it appears that if you want hibernation then you need to get rid of these cards..

    - FAT32 Memory Cards I bought a 8GB microSD to use in my Smartphone. It works fine in the phone but it does not work in any of my card readers. It does not show up as a removable drive on my laptop or PC with WinXP SP2. Another oddity, using Windows Media Player 11 with the phone using a 2GB (FAT16) card WM would sync my playlists. Not with the 8GB card although I can drag and drop the music onto the card through WM. Not quite a handy as syncing playlists. Any thoughts? Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330516

It is custom built using an MSI 865GM3-LS motherboard and an Intel Pentium CPU. On booting up it now gets stuck at the first bootup screen which displays an MSI logo on the top left corner, and Intel Pentium Logo on the lower right corner and some text in the middle that reads "8Xtreme Series", "Performance, Durability, Stability", I have reset the CMOS by setting the jumper to reset it, but still have the same problem.

    - Guarding against file transfer errors between media Is there a way to ensure error-free file transfers between different media - especially between a computer and an external drive (USB2) ? Using such drives here it is sometimes found that some files (not any particular type) would be corrupt or damaged. This does not happen in any alarming proportions but does happen. At random and not confined to any particular machine or device. All drives checked out okay physically as well as in CHKDSK. Does the USB2 process itself include an error percentage, BTW ? Any insights would be highly appreciated. TIA. Avatar ------- Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330487

    - windows xp add hardware wizard stops with error code 10 Hi a friend booted up her computer this morning and the keyboard would not work. It is a ps2 type connection, purple plug. She went into device manager but it is not showing an entry for a keyboard but there is an unidentified entry. She tried updating the unidentified entry but it cannot find any drivers. She then went to control panel and ran the add hardware wizard but it stopped with an error code ten. Thinking the keyboard was faulty sheI unplugged it and tried running the add hardware wizard without the keyboard attached but still got the same error message. When she ran the keyboard icon from control panel on the hardware tab the window is blank. Any suggestions as to why the add hardware wizard will stop with an error even with no keyboard attached? I will be going to see her tomorrow and she is at present just using her mouse and the onscreen keyboard to try to solve this problem. I have no further info than I have already told you.

    - Nic never working - Realtek 8139 I have a great problem on XP Pro Sp2. Notice: Hardware P4 dual and nic realtek 8139 fully working. Tested with any kind of Linux. No virus. No troyan. Tried sfc/scannnow and reinstallation over current XP starting from CD. I've tried everything, even started with UBCD4Win (avoiding the lock on hardware profiles in the registry) and deleting every reg entry I can found bounded to the nic, and every drivers present in the HD, inf, and even from .cab archive cache. I have disabled the nic, installed a new one, and I got the same problem again. I've serched hidden nic, but I don't see any other nic ( Tested various drivers, from the original bounded with the nic (and is for XP) to new realtek update of this year. NOTHING! Everytime I reinstall the nic/driver, everything seems OK, but finally XP says (sorry for traslation because my system is Italian located) that it can find a file. I don't know what file because it says nothing about this file. Every kind of driver i tested say that. Do you have any procedure to check every single step XP do to reach that bad result? A system to debug the problem step, by step finding why Xp end to that result? Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330484

    - Serious AUDIO DEVICE problem; due to sp2 Microsoft update install. Alrighty. I called Microsoft to get some help with my system restore. Was having some issues with it; it wasn't working. The first time I downloaded Windows XP SP2 from your website, my system restore disappeared. I called Microsoft, they connected to me, and within a couple of hours it was fixed. THEN, microsoft manually re-downloaded SP2 for me "AGAIN". As soon as we got off the telephone, I realized that my AUDIO DRIVER was no longer working. My drivers are all screwed up to no end. I cannot find any in my system that work and when I try to redownload them from TOSHIBA (I HAVE A SATELLITE), they are not updating or even redownloading properly. Microsoft did this to me and I don't have a CD, it was a floor model and I never got around to buying a restore disk. What Microsoft failed to realize is that TOSHIBA SATELLITES CANNOT BE UPDATED WITH SP2. I am not the only one with a TOSHIBA SATELLITE that has had this issue. A number of forums discuss this issue and even some of the greatest hackers out there cannot figure this one out (it seems easy to fix, but it is not). I believe there is something screwey with my registry too. Please help me, call me, connect with me, and fix your mistake. Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330476

    - Random crashes - please help? Hello, I was hoping someone in here could help me with a problem I've been having with my computer crashing. I'm not exactly sure when this all started, but it was well over a year ago (my computer is about 4 years old). About every 30 days or so my computer would just restart. I didn't think much of it since it only happened about once a month. But then it started happening more often. So I turned off the auto-restarts and started looking at the BSOD's and sending error reports to Microsoft. The BSOD's weren't always the same.. I'd get anything from DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGEFAULT_IN_A_NON_PAGED_AREA, or something else. And it's VERY random! Sometime I'll get a BSOD after 2 days.. sometimes in a week.. the longest I've gone without a blue screen is 42 days. A couple times the error report said that it was my anti-virus program causing the problem. The computer came with Norton AV 2000 installed. But when the subscription ran out.. I uninstalled Norton and installed Avast. Microsoft advised that I check services to see if I don't have two AV programs running at the same time. I have AVG Anti Spyware and Spybot S&D installed which are compatible with Avast. So that can't be the problem. I've also been told it might be a memory problem.. or a driver problem. The last BSOD said that the crash was caused by a device driver.. but how can I find out ~which~ driver? I looked at the event viewer and this is what was in it.. Event Type: Error Event Source: System Error Event Category: (102) Event ID: 1003 Date: 4/12/2008 Time: 1:33:01 PM User: N/A Description: Error code 1000000a, parameter1 00000004, parameter2 0000001c, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 804e1476. I've been researching this problem online for so long.. but can't seem to narrow down what the problem could be. Could anyone please help? I'm at wits end. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

    - Any USB DOS mouse drivers (useful for some boot disks, etc)? (Before anyone asks: yes, I know there are a couple of DOS newsgroups on the microsoft server, but they are unpopulated (been "there" already). So I'm looking for that here, since I'm using WinXP, and this seems the best place to ask). I'm looking for a USB mouse driver for DOS access (for a new Dell without USB legacy BIOS support). Some boot disks use DOS, but I can't find any USB mouse drivers that work for me. I've been doing some research on the net, and in the Dell user forums, and know some such drivers do exist, but: 1. There is no legacy USB support "option" in my new Dell Windows XP computer's BIOS, but the "USB controller" option in BIOS is enabled, of course. 2. I've tried "usbmice" (with OCHI and UHCI drivers), and also DUSE, but none of them work on my PC with a simple optical mouse. Does anybody know of any others? 3. If a driver doesn't exist that will work on this PC, would it instead be possible to add some I/O card (or a PS/2 card) and get a PS/2 mouse instead, or something along those lines, to allow for mouse support (in these DOS boot disks, or other DOS apps)? Thanks, if anyone has any ideas! Bill Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330459

    - Device Manager questions I see two of the following in the Device Manager with yellow icons containing an "!" HID Non-User Input Data Filter The Properties/General and Driver tabs shows the same data for both of them. The General tab has the following info: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) I believe one is for the keyboard and one is for the mouse. Are these the code that for the extended keys on the keyboard and extended buttons on the mouse? Does it make sense that drive is the same for both of them? On the Details tab the strings are different. There is also a HID-compliant device entry in the Device Manager. What is this for? Also two USB Human Interface Devices. These last three do not have the ! icon attached. The reason I'm interested is that I can't get the extended keys to work on my laser keyboard 6000 v2. If I uninstall the devices I mentioned above and reboot, and press the volume control key while windows is starting, I get the volume icon on the screen for a little while. The Installed Wireless Device pops up followed by one (not two) Installed HID-Something, and the volume display fades away and further pressing the key will not bring it back. Any helpful suggestion would be appreciated. Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330446

    - The old "C" Drive replacement issue I've done it before - will do it again - and the age-old problem cannot be rectified by this old guy.... I want to replace my "C" (boot) drive with a larger/faster drive. First, I back up my stuff. I Install the new larger drive. I use every type of "copy" software known to mankind (this man anyway). I follow the directions - be it from MS, Seagate, Maxtor, 3rd party vendor, etc.... What do I wind up with? A "D" Drive that is bigger, faster - but hosed up, because all of the programs are looking for "C", of course! Reading the News Groups, all I see is, "You can't change the letter for the "C" drive". OK then - what does everybody else do, short of having to reinstall XP on the new drive, than reinstall all of the programs they own??? Thanks in advance from this grouchy old SOB.

    - Windows XP and Expresscards Hi, I've recently brought a laptop that has an Expresscard slot, which is the replacement for the old PCMCIA cards. I'm having some trouble using the card with the laptop and as part of the diagnostic process I thought I'd just check to make sure that XP supports the Expresscards. I've done some checking on the web, and I've found some documents from Microsoft's WHDC that mention Express cards and XP. So, I assume that XP can support Expresscards. The question I have is whether XP SP2 does actually support Expresscards? If it does then do I need any drivers, updates, or hotfixes beyond those contained in XP SP2? Thanks.

    - PC won't start. I have a Dell Dimension 2350 Desktop. I plugged in a new Mouse this morning, put the installation disk in and all was ok. Used the computer for a short while then switched off as normal. Remembered there was something else I wanted to do so switched Comp back on but no joy. The Screen stayed Black, the LED's by the Power Switch stayed off and the only light that came on was the one by the CD- Tray which flashes continuously. When I press the button on the CD the Tray only comes out part way or not at all. I tried switching Computer on and off again a couple more times but got the same negative result. If it's just that the CD Burner is knackered, why wouldn't the Computer boot up? If it is more serious than just the CD Burner, as the Computer is heavily used and about 5 years old, I'm assuming it probably isn't worth spending too much on? Any ideas what it might be? Thanks.

    - ThinkPad T61 XP - Power Cycle Problem Hi All, I've had two major problems with my T61 laptop since receiving it about 3 weeks ago. The biggest problem is that when I put it into any low power mode (mainly I use shutdown or standby), it continually exits the mode, then re-enters the mode until eventually the battery is dead. When I take my laptop home at night, I just continually hear it beep as it goes in and out of standby. My only solution so far has been to shutdown and remove the battery. The second, smaller issue has been that it will occassionally shut down on its own while I'm in the middle of using it. The PC just instantly turns off. This has happened about 4 times this month. Any one know why this might be happening? Thanks, TF Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330407

    - OT: Intel stock vs heatpipe cooler Sorry for being a bit off-topic but, surely there's lots of builders in here. I've built lots of boxes in the past and never really dabbled with "super" cpu coolers i.e. stock heatsink and fan always did a sufficient job. A few months ago I upgraded my faithful old XP2600 Barton Skt. A to a D935 Conroe cpu, on a "Conroe" motherboard, and during lots of digging on the web, at that time, noticed observations that the Pentium D's ran "hot" compared to others. My "D" core always idled at approx. 38 degrees | 42 degrees under load. Yesterday I fitted a cheap Akasa triple heatpipe cooler and noticed that the thermal "paste" was quite soft. When I removed the stock Intel heatsink it appeared that the thermal compound was quite thick, (obviously it had "cured"), but it hadn't spread out very much, suggesting that it was perhaps too thick, or "aged," when I originally fitted the thing. I'm not going to try it just to satisfy my curiosity but, do you think that if I cleaned that up, and refitted the stock h/s with a good quality thermal compound, that it would run a lot cooler ? regards, Richard Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330398

    - 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.

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: Removable Storage Libraries 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??? Tag: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330282

    - 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: Removable Storage Libraries Tag: 330270
