    - Replacement for Canon MP750 I have an MP750 that has been a good printer, but I think its reliability is becoming a problem. I need a replacement combination printer/copier/scanner. I am looking for speed and reliability. Only limited color photo printing I would like to keep the cost below $250 I fill my own cartridges. I would like to avoid the cartridges with chips unless they can be worked around I like the Canon line with the ability to see the ink level in the cartridges I would go for a color laser printer IF I thought they had good reliability, reasonable ink cost and long time between changes of cartridges. Any suggestions? microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331422

    - How refresh the ACPI thermal zone temperature? Hello, I want to write a utility which allow me to read the CPU temperature. My notebook is an old ThinkPad 600X (PIII 650 MHz) and is ACPI compliant. I use WMI and the class MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature . Please see my VBS: strComputer = "." wmiNS = "\root\wmi" wmiQuery = "Select * from MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature" Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set objWMIService = objLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, wmiNS) Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery) For Each objItem in colItems With objItem wscript.echo "CurrentTemperature: " & .CurrentTemperature wscript.echo "InstanceName: " & .InstanceName wscript.echo " " End With Next It works but it does not refresh the temperature. I get always the same temperature. Only after Reboot I get other values. Is there a way to force WMI to refresh the ACPI data? Thanks for your help! Harald Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331409

    - Processor Bus? I saw this Dell PC on Tesco Direct, for the price I thought the specs were very good. I sent the page to my friend, who said it is good for the price, but the low processor bus means that the computer wont be as fast as I think.

    - started with "blue screen" ended up with "missing system32\hal.dll Hi folks... I'm praying somone can assist me as I've been waiting to hear back from Microsoft on this as it started (when I noticed - my daughter's computer) when trying to run updates from Microsoft. Her system is older, running XP Pro and there isn't much on it believe it or not. AVG is the anti-virus and I've also tried running some registry scans. No avail, but cleaned a few things up. Mostly having to run in Safe Mode and Safe Mode w/Networking, yet will still eventually end up getting that blue screen and many times re-looping and getting stuck & F8 doesn't always work either. Again, this is my daughterâ??s computer, and I believe this started about a week or so ago. She finally told me a few days ago and when I started taking a look at her system, this is all new, not past issues Iâ??ve experienced. 1. The first thing I tried to do was to run a scan on her system to see if there were virus, etc. 2. Then I tried to run a windows update and thatâ??s when I personally encountered the first blue screen of manyâ?¦ 3. I had already attempted many times to Use the â??Last Known Good Configurationâ?? to no avail, a few times the system couldnâ??t even get to running Windows without having returned directly to the blue screen. 4. Then I was able to use the Safe Mode with Networking, tried running Windows Update that way, didnâ??t work. Multiple attempts each ending in Blue Screen 5. I noticed that a message finally gave me something about a Driver issue, so went to Device Manager, and updated/reinstalled drivers a display screen and a multimedia device (neither of which I am familiar), but then the Device Mgr was clear. 6. Then attempted to run Windows update and it did actually download the Visualization Tool & Installed, thought I was actually getting somewhereâ?¦ But then after it asked me to continue on with scanning for updates, I was back to the blue screen and it proceeded to no longer be able to start Windows again, just re-routing back to Blue Screen. 7. Last Known Good Configuration again, didnâ??t work. I do have screen shots of the blue screens it gives, but the error codes are of no help as the four it gives me, always change. I've finally turned the damn thing off as it was just re-looping to blue screen and couldn't load windows, so after 3 days of tyring to figure it out, I've given up.... Lastly, apparently my daughter turned the computer on, and now all it shows is a black screen with the "missing system32\hal.dll" file. Now I've seen this when I got a brand new system running both Mac & OS systems, when I loaded windows. I figured out a work around for it on the Mac, but this system only runs Windows, so not sure what to do from here with it... She has some things on her system that she's hoping I don't have to do a fresh install so any suggestions are tremendously appreciated. Please let me know what further info I can provide to be of assistance. Thanks so much, Sunny Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331382

I am wondering if any one has any idea about what is going on. My guess is it is something to do with the Read head but, I'm not a hardware guy. I have monkeyed around with Plextools to see if the settings were screwed up but, that does not seem to be the issue.

    - Bluetooth Problem My XP Pro laptop comes with a built-in Broadcom BT device and driver. To be able to synch my Blackberry, I need to use the Windows driver instead. i have two problems: 1) I cannot remove the Broadcom - it is not listed under add/remove software and when I try to do it in device manager, only one of the two Broadcom BT items listed under BT have a remove option AND when I remove the one that I can remove, the Scand For Hardware Changes option automatically reinstalls the Broadcom software. 2) I cannot find a download for the Windows BT driver.

    - Beginner's Question: Adding a 2nd Monitor to my XP System Hello I just got a new 22" monitor, which my Nvidia Quadro FX3000 is able to drive without problems (I'm not a gamer - just regular office type applications user). Instead of eBaying my old 17" monitor, I thought maybe I can use it to increase my monitor real estates. The FX3000 video card comes with two DVI ports, so I hooked up the old screen to the second DVI port on the FX3000, but everything just slowed down to a crawl, obviously the card can't handle 2 monitors. Do you think installing a second PCI video card would solve the problem? I don't have any experience building systems so advice is appreciated. Also, would I need to buy any special software for the two video cards to work together? Thanks. Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331362

    - pci pnp function does not work anymore I was trying to install a modem in a Shuttle Xps computer, but it did not want to connect to the dial-up site. So I installed a second one that did not work well in the computer. But installing the third one in the same slot (there is only one pci slot in this computer) did not get recognized. And now it does not recognize any pnp cards in this slot. What can I do? Is it something in the services, or does it need something else to be done? Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331339

    - Hardware conflict causes XP boot screen to hang I installed a Zonet ZUC2400 PCI card (USB + Firewire) and now Windows XP hangs when it gets to the Windows logo screen. I removed my Win-TV PVR-150 card and rebooted. Same deal. I then removed the Zonet card, rebooted (normally) and inserted the Zonet card while XP was turned on. XP identified the card and I was able to connect my camcorder and transfer video flawlessly. But when I restarted, Windows XP hangs (like before). MY SPECS * Motherboard and CPU: ASUS P5B Motherboard, Intel CPU Support: (Core 2 Duo/Quad, Pentium 4/D, Celeron), Intel P965/ICH8 Chipset, Socket 775 * Card: Zonet ZUC2400 (USB 2.0 + Firewire PCI Combo Card, VIA VT63-6 and VIA VT6214L listed on chips) OS: Windows XP SP2, fully up to date *ATI Radeon 9600 Is there something I need to install to make this work? Is the VIA chipset the culprit? A user at NewEgg.com said this Zonet ZUC2400 card works perfectly with the Asus P5B, so I don't understand. Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331338

    - Sound Card I believe that I may already know the answer to my question, but for a long time my sound would play fine for a while (during games, music etc.) then randomly start making unusual noises, which required me to close the game or media player. Now I cannot get any sound, and my system does not even recognize that I have a sound card. When I try to play music the system says that no sound card has been configured. I think that I just need to get a new sound card, but I am wondering if there is any way to fix this. (current sound was through the stock 'Conexant Audio' card).

    - Webcam stalls XP boot up I Have a Biostar K8M800 MB with an AMD Athlon processor that I just built. XP boots up perfectly and runs just fine, however, if I have my Microsoft Webcam plugged into my USB port when I boot up the computer, The boot up sequence gets as far as showing the Windows start up screen and never gets any farther than that. If I unplug the webcam and reboot, everything is fine. I can plug the webcam into the USB port once windows is running and I don't have any problems. It's only at startup.

    - Hard drive worked, but now is not formatted I have a multi IDE drive system. I powered down the system and unplugged a random hard drive, that was not the primary drive. I then plugged in a different hard drive that I wanted to format and partition to put into a different computer. This operation was successful. I powered down the system, removed the temporary hard drive and reinstalled the original drive back into the original position. When I restarted the machine, I receive a hard drive not formatted message. How do I get the machine to recognize the drive again with its original data as I have not deleted the data?

    - i945PM laptop chipset, Dual Channel Mode, and unmatched pairs Before we start... Technical Data Sheet for i945-based chipsets --> http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/309219.htm. Specifically reference section 1.1.2 System Memory support for i945GM chipsets (the i945PM supports all i945GM features but without the integrated graphics). I just wanted to let you guys know that this chipset does indeed support dual channel even with unmatched pairs. I know most boards will only do dual channel mode if the voltage, speed, and capacities match however this one will do it even if the capacities don't match. I will assume that the other factors should still match. I used the following memory sticks... Slot 1: G.Skill F2-5300CL5D-4GBSA DDRII2GB PC2-5300 CL5-5-5-15 Slot 2: G.Skill F2-5300PHU2-2GBSA DDRII1GB PC2-5300 CL5-5-5-15 Slot one is a stick of 2GB from a 2x2GB matched set Slot two is a stick of 1GB from a 2x1GB matched set Therefore they are not meant to go together. They are spec for spec compatible however. They both run at 1.8v. Memtest86+ 2.01 passed and reported Dual Channel (Asynchronous). CpuZ is reporting Dual Channel mode. Information below is from a CpuZ register dump file. Chipset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Northbridge Intel i945PM rev. 03 Southbridge Intel 82801GHM (ICH7-M/U) rev. A1 Graphic Interface PCI-Express PCI-E Link Width x16 PCI-E Max Link Width x16 Memory Type DDR2 Memory Size 3072 MBytes Channels Dual Memory Frequency 332.9 MHz (1:2) CAS# 5.0 RAS# to CAS# 5 RAS# Precharge 5 Cycle Time (tRAS) 15 Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 21 Memory SPD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DIMM #1 General Memory type DDR2 Module format SO-DIMM Manufacturer (ID) G.Skill (7F7F7F7FCD000000) Size 2048 MBytes Max bandwidth PC2-5300 (333 MHz) Part number F2-5300CL5-2GBSA Attributes Number of banks 2 Data width 64 bits Correction None Nominal Voltage 1.80 Volts EPP no XMP no Timings table Frequency (MHz) 200 266 333 CAS# 3.0 4.0 5.0 RAS# to CAS# delay 3 4 5 RAS# Precharge 3 4 5 TRAS 9 12 15 TRC 12 16 20 DIMM #2 General Memory type DDR2 Module format SO-DIMM Manufacturer (ID) G.Skill (7F7F7F7FCD000000) Size 1024 MBytes Max bandwidth PC2-5300 (333 MHz) Part number F2-5300PHU1-1GBSA Attributes Number of banks 2 Data width 64 bits Correction None Nominal Voltage 1.80 Volts EPP no XMP no Timings table Frequency (MHz) 266 333 CAS# 4.0 5.0 RAS# to CAS# delay 4 5 RAS# Precharge 4 5 TRAS 12 15 TRC 16 20 So umm... yea. Sometimes the boards do not need matched pairs to do dual-channel mode.

    - Installing bigger SATA hard drive - how? My existing hard drive is quite small so I've just got a new Western Digital 500GB SATA II hard drive and want to make it my "main" drive. The BIOS allows a choice of boot device, first one being CD/DVD drive, second floppy drive, 3rd boot device is my existing SATA hard drive and then it goes on to list SATA 2, SATA 3 and SATA 4. I'd obviously like to be able to select my new drive as the first boot device and have my existing drive active so that I could transfer stuff like music, photo's etc., etc by drag and drop between my old and new drives. This of course means that both drives would have a C: drive with Windows XP on each of them, but, because I can select SATA 2 (my new drive) as the first boot device in the BIOS, am I right in thinking that it IS possible - or would they "interfere" with each other and cause major problems?

    - Plug and Play detection of Monitor I have a Gigabyte 7VM400M - RZ motherboard and am running XP Pro.

    - Problems with graphics card driver I've got a Gigabyte motherboard with on-board VIA graphics and a Haans.G wide screen monitor. No CD that came with the motherboard though. After downloading the graphics driver from manufacturers website I was able to change the resolution to what I want which is 1280x786pix. After rebooting the computer graphics card driver goes back to generic driver and in device manager I've got a yellow exclamation mark next to the graphics card. I was struggling with the problem for a while also downloading the driver straight from VIA. No luck. Finally fed up with all this situation I bought an AGP graphics card from NVidia, installed the drivers and eventually set the monitor to required settings. All was fine till I rebooted the computer. Guess what... I'm back with generic driver and in device manager I've got a yellow exclamation mark next to the graphics card where it says NVidia .... I attempted one last try updating the BIOS. Didn't help. I run out of ideas. Any suggestions are most welcome. yaro Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331161

    - Can an ISP disable modem configuration? Have a Versatek ver170p modem. It works fine. I bought it from my ISP last year when I signed up with them for high speed internet service. According to the instructions that came with the modem (and on Versatek's website) I should be able to configure the modem by entering http://192.168.1.1 in a browser, but when I do this in Internet Explorer I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". In Firefox it shows "The connection has timed out". When I "ping" it, everything is okay. Have tried this with my firewall off, same thing. I've never been able to get into the configuration menu of the modem, when I first got the modem I tried and couldn't but didn't worry about it because the modem worked. Yesterday thought I'd try again to get to the configuration menu but got the same thing that I got last year. I know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and I don't intend to fool around with any of the configuration settings, but it bugs me that I can't get to the configuration settings. I'm presuming that my ISP configured the modem to whatever configuration it needed to connect to them, but could they also have configured it so that trying to configure it through a browser and http://192.168.1.1 wouldn't work, to prevent anyone from changing the settings?

    - All In Wonder 9600 series Automatic Update.... Microsoft Update and Windows Update for Windows XP Home SP2 are including a high priority automatic update for the "All In Wonder 9600 series" ATI Graphics Cards. The AGP model of the card will not work with this update and may destroy it! A complete system reinstall will not fix this issue. The update states a release date of October 2007. If you have one of these cards you will most likely never be able to watch TV on you PC anymore as a result of this update. It does something internally to the ATI board making it think its an "ATI All In Wonder 9600 Radon" which is a different display card. A $189 card destroyed, thanks to a bug in Microsoft's code. If there is anyone else with this problem?????? post on this thread! To disable this update and continue to use Automatic Updates, go to the update site with IE 6 or 7. Select CUSTOM. Find the update and select the text, de-select the install checkbox and select the Hide option directly under the description. The most stable release for the drivers are available from the http://ati.amd.com Support Team. You need to contact ATI support by submitting a support request. They will tell you which version to download since the most recent update from March 2008 fails, only after the Microsoft/Windows update. If the ATI update that the support team gives you still fails, you need to contact Microsoft's support and speak to a 2nd or 3rd tier technician! Unfortunately the Microsoft support website will try to refer you to the PC manufacturers website/support. They won't be able to help you and recovery CD's that they get you to purchase won't fix the destroyed Card. Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331144

    - Sound Card Enabled but not started Alas the time came to reformat my wife's computer, too many things did not work as they were suppose to, so I gathered together all of the system discs and backed it up, then I popped in a new harddrive to give her more space. Everything went well until she came home and tried to listen to an email audio note. No sound. I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. I have reinstalled the card many times from the system disc, the Acer site and the SC company site, and have no where else to go. Please read this completely and help me if you can. Here is the information from msinfo32 on the sound device.MS XP Pro SP2 Name Conexant AC-Link Audio Manufacturer Conexant Status OK PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C5&SUBSYS_00641025&REV_03\3&61AAA01&0&FD I/O Port 0x00001C00-0x00001CFF I/O Port 0x000018C0-0x000018FF Memory Address 0xE0100C00-0xE0100DFF Memory Address 0xE0100800-0xE01008FF IRQ Channel IRQ 10 Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\camcaud.sys (6.13.10.8310, 285.50 KB (292,352 bytes), 4/18/2008 2:52 PM) I have used the included system disc for my wife's travelMate2300, been to both the Acer site and the conxant site to get updates. I have installed them.I received an answer from a microsoft Vista tech after he read this and he linked me to the same acer dowload I have already loaded. Everytime it is the same thing. When I click on the properties it says "enabled but not started" The device manager says everything is fine. I have updated, disabled and enabled. I have gone to services and started the Widows Audio service I have even tried removing fast detect in the boot.ini file as one post suggested Where do you start it? I have formated and installed hundreds of computers as a high school computer tech and this is the first time I have ever had audio problems. Usually it happens automatically. Here is the system summary: System Manufacturer Acer System Model TravelMate 2300 System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~1298 Mhz BIOS Version/Date ACER 3A07, 8/3/2004 SMBIOS Version 2.31 Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS System Directory C:\WINDOWS\system32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume1 Locale United States Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)" User Name VJP-01\Virginia Time Zone Mountain Daylight Time Total Physical Memory 512.00 MB Available Physical Memory 88.60 MB Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB Page File Space 1.13 GB Page File C:\pagefile.sys And just in case it matters here is the IRQ list IRQ 0 System timer OK IRQ 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK IRQ 6 Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller OK IRQ 6 Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C2 OK IRQ 6 Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C4 OK IRQ 6 Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C7 OK IRQ 6 Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller OK IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System OK IRQ 10 Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD OK IRQ 10 INPROCOMM IPN2220 Wireless LAN Card OK IRQ 10 Generic CardBus Controller OK IRQ 10 Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM SMBus Controller - 24C3 OK IRQ 10 Conexant AC-Link Audio OK IRQ 10 SoftV92 Data Fax Modem with SmartCP OK IRQ 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse OK IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK IRQ 14 Primary IDE Channel OK IRQ 15 Secondary IDE Channel OK Mark S.

    - 3COM 3C556 Hurricane Driver? I installed Windows 2000 (not recovery disk version) on an IBM Thinkpad A21m. The Thinkpad has a 3COM 3C556 Hurricane mini PCI ethernet/modem card. Windows can't find a driver for it. I looked on the 3COM web site, but I can't find a "3COM 3C556 Hurricane" specific driver. Does anyone know what driver I should download and use? Thanks.

    - corrupted USB flash drive Suddenly I got a problem on a iomega mini usb drive, that worked OK for long time. Inserted the new drive is immediately seen and assigned a letter "X". If I click on it, I get an error message "insert a disk in the "X" unit". I tryed almost everything as my first thought was that the partition data has been for some reason, corrupted. 1) Same result got on different PC 2) Same result got if I insert the flash before or after the boot. 3) Of course I cannot reformat as the unit is recognized but the volume/disk is not. 4) I downloaded several software claiming to recover, format, partition etc USB devices but : no result. 5) Partition Magic 8 doesnt see the drive, only fixed disks 6) Read everything I could find on MS Support, On Google , on Groups etc. 7) No possibility to reach the storage for a low level formatting. This is my last attempt, if someone of you has another idea ! After I will go to buy a new drive !! :-(( Thanks Manlio Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331115

    - num lock not working correctly on laptop with numpad I had to reinstall XP after some work was done on my laptop. Now, the numlock key makes the letters on the right of the keyboard send numbers (like many laptop keyboards are supposed to do). But my laptop has a separate number key pad. Before I reinstalled XP, num lock worked correctly and turned the number keypad while still letting me type letters. Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331099

    - USB Power lost. Hello, I have a CNC control running XP Embedded. It communicates to the host computer via USB to serial adapter. The communications work until the machine runs a large program. After that the software give an error. "unable to open port" I believe something is killing power to the USB. After rebooting the system everything works fine. The system started doing this after software & bios update. I would appreciate any ideas as to what the problem may be. Tag: Windows Problem Tag: 331094

    - CD-ROM (D:) drive disappears/reappears I am running XP Pro and sometimes when I try to burn a CD, the D: Drive icon is gone or disappears while I am looking at it. When I reboot, its there and I can burn the CD? Sometimes it burns fine, other time it is gone? This has happened approx. 20-25 times?

Can you please clarify this post! It is very confusing!

You crated a new folder and it was "cloned" to a different PC??
