Lifecam VX 3000
I have a Lifecam VX 3000 that used to work with Windows XP but has stopped
working now. As soon as I try to make a video call, the camera freezes. I
have uninstalled and re-installed a number of times but it's always the same.
Can anyone come up with a solution. (I have even tried a Logitek camera, but
the same thing happens) Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330883
Recover 500Gb of files
I want to recover files from a full external HD that are not available to

Nvidia 9600GT Problem
I've posted my problem to a couple of support groups and so far I
haven't been able to solve my problem, at least not completely.
Recently, meaning a couple days ago I upgraded my PC's video card to a
Nvidia 9600GT series card from an ATI X1600. I am running a fully up to
date version of Windows XP Professional. I uninstalled the ATI drivers
and other related software before I switched cards. I then installed
the Nvidia Forceware software. I also reinstalled the Viewsonic driver
for my VP2330 flat panel display. Viewsonic recommends for best results
to run the monitor at a resolution of 1920 by 1200. I did just that
when using the ATI video card although it wouldn't work in DVI-D mode.
Now when I set the resolution to 1920 by 1200 the font rendering has
problems. Rather than having black text, the text displays in a
multitude of colors. This is also true for text displayed in white, or
any other color that I've tried for that matter. Activating cleartext
has helped somewhat making text more legible, but I haven't been able to
fix the text color problem. If I run the monitor at 1600 by 1200
everything works as it should. Has anyone come across this sort of
problem before? And can it be fixed? Or is this a compatibility issue?

No sound
Tried to play music on my computer (Win XP SP2) but cannot seem to hear any
sound through my Microphone even though the Windows Media Player is playing
the music.
I have a sound card which is listed in the Device Mangager. I've also
installed a sound driver..but still cannot hear anything.

How can I tell if my computer's motherboard is DDR2 compatible?
I want to upgrade the RAM in my computer to make it faster, and I am
looking at buying two of these: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4142181
It says on that page, "DDR2 is the next generation of DDR memory. DDR2
memory features faster speeds, greater bandwidth, lower power
consumption and enhanced thermal performance. Boost the performance of
your PC. PNY memory Upgrades will prove to be an outstanding value now
and in the future. Although DDR2 modules are the same physical
dimension as DDR modules, the plug-in connector configuration is
different and as such DDR2 modules are NOT compatible with PCS
requiring DDR modules."
How can I tell if my computer will work with this? The computer is a
Dell Dimension 4700C bought in December 2004, and currently has 1GB of
RAM. I would prefer not to take my computer apart to check this. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330859
Strange Keyboard Problem:
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2
The problem I have is this: sometimes like on Yahoo or MSN when I
click on something and then click backspace it doesn't do it. I see it
cycling but then it just sits. I've noticed it does this on other
sites as well but not all. In most cases when I click the backspace
button or key it does so but in these other instances I have to click
it twice and sometime 3 times. I shouldn't have to do this. When I
click on the backspace key or button it should immediately backspace
without me having to repeat it. Does anyone know why its doing this or
can offer any suggestions?
Thanks,

Task Manager
Does anyone know how task manager monitors CPU
performance?
In the CPU usage area, what does a second "red" line
graph indicate? Whenever the red line ascends, the
green line of the same CPU descends correspondingly.

MS Installer Cleanup utility
I'm trying to uninstall some software (Palm Desktop), which gave an msi
error and failed to install. Palm's advice to me was to install the
Windows Installer CleanUp Utility and use this to erase leftover

obtained the CleanUp Utility from the MS site and tried to run it. My

AutoRun May Not Work After First Insert a "usb flash drive like a CD ROM"
Hi
We want to develope a usb flash drive,just like a CD ROM,which contains
some software can autorun when being plugged.But we find a strange
phenomena:
After insert our usb flash drive into a computer with a fresh
installation of Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Vista for the first time,
the AutoRun functionality of our computer may not work. However, after
unplugging and plugging the device into the computer, the AutoRun
functionality may start to work again. After that this phenomena does not
occur again.
I hope someone can explain it, Thanks for answering.

Bluetooth icon missing from control panel
I have a Dell Latitude D610 with a built in bluetooth adapter. When I
do a fresh OS install on other similar machines, I am able to see the
Bluetooth icon in the control panel. I believe this machine used to
have the Toshiba Bluetooth stack on it. However it has since been
removed. I can confirm that there are no unknown devices or devices
with error in the device manager. I tried running
C:\windows\system32\bthprops.cpl and nothing happens. I can also
confirm that c:\windows\inf\bth.inf exists and is the original (SP2)
version. There is also a string value in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run called
"BluetoothAuthenticationAgent" that has the value "rundll32.exe
bthprops.cpl,,BluetoothAuthenticationAgent".
Given all of the above, does anyone have any idea how to force the
bluetooth icon in the control panel to show up? Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330824

Configuration problem or defect drive?
I already tried to get help on this but wasn't successful - so this is my
second shot. My first attempt was a month ago and I did a lot of reading
since - equally unsuccessful.
The Problem: My Asus DRW2014L1T won't open it's door for me. It also doesn't
recognize any CD's I 'force' into it (emergency open). So far this sounds
like a hardware problem. There are some aspects though that make me doubt
that: during boot my other DVD drive is correctly displayed as PATA (Pioneer
DVR 112) but no mention of the Asus (no mention of the SATA HDD either by the
way - so maybe that's normal?). In 'My Computer' the drive is listed as
'CD-Rom' drive. In 'Device Manager' it is listed under the correct name and
as properly working. In 'Computer Management/Disk Management' it's the same
as in 'Device Manager' - the Pioneer is recognized as DVD, the Asus is listed
as CD-Rom drive. Under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' I have 9 listings (is that
normal - I thought I only had 3 drives in total and although there was one
step during installation of my broadband modem installing a 'CD-Rom device'
that only makes 4???):
Intel ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 2926
Intel ICH9 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 2920
Primary IDE Channel (Details: PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\4&23C3F348&0&0)
Primary IDE Channel (Details: PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\4&3A09A70B&0&0)
Primary IDE Channel (Details: PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\5&1F7D41A9&0&0)

Secondary IDE Channel (Details: PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\4&3A09A70B&0&1)
Secondary IDE Channel (Details: PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\5&1F7D41A9&0&1)
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller (Details:
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_6121&SUBSYS_5442808086&REV_B2\4&2DA1E264&0&00E4)
If I disconnect the Asus the boot process is a lot faster, with the Asus
attached boot goes through a couple of 'please hold or call back later'
phases, particularly when the drives are being 'detected' (or not).
Any clue what's going on? Is it just the drive itself (I hope not - the
dealer is 800 miles away and I won't get there again before July)?
System Info: Windows XP Pro 2, Intel DX38BT board, Intel Core2 2,66, NVidia

How to diagnose QueryDosDevice Failed error
I've started to get the "QueryDosDevice Failed. Insufficient system
resources exist to complete the requested service" pop-up rather
consistantly.
Is there a way to find out which requested service is causing the problem?
The last time i had this problem my Profile became corrupted. Windows
somehow fixed the Profile, and i stopped getting the error message.
This time however the Profile is acting strangly, some programs wont run,
for example iTunes complains about not being able to verify my Audio
drivers, and stops working.
Something else i've notice is that Task Manager is "dimmed" and unavailable
for use. Also when i type CTRL-Alt-Del only the Cancel button is available.
The HD i am using is fairly new, about 6 months. I migrated from a smaller
ATA drive to a Segate 250 SATA drive. I use the migration tool provided with
the new drive and it worked perfectly i didn't lose any data. I am
mentioning this because i don't know if this is related to my
"QueryDosDevice Failed" problem.
I setup a new account and profile, and noticed that as soon as i tried to
use iTunes i got the Audio errors, and the "QueryDosDevice Failed" pop-up
started.
So, is there a way for me to diagnose and fix this problem?
Thanks all

Needed --- Recommendation on Trackball !
Hi, all !
I am setting up a computer lab for the disabled. We are looking for
equipments that might aid the disabled (mainly those who are not that
good in movement), and one of the things we are planning to get them
is trackball.
There are many types of trackballs available, unfortunately most are
made for the able-body people. I am looking for something that can be
used by the disabled with ease.
Our objective is that the trackball must be big enough, and easy
enough to be used.
One of the things we have found is the BIGTRACK trackball made by
infogrip ( www.infogrip.com/product_view.asp?RecordNumber=98 )
I want to know if there are other types of trackball similar or better
than the BIGTRACK that I list above?
If you have any experience on which type of trackball that will be
easy for the disabled, please share with us.
Thank you all in advance !!
Sincerely,

is this a bad hard-drive?
HD is a Seagate 40GB ATA internal drive (model # ST340014A). I'm replacing a
failed Seagate (same model). Put it in a working PC, saw it in Disk Manager
and formatted it in NTFS. Once that was complete, the word "Healthy" was
seen in DM.
Plugged it into the old PC so I could boot to CD and reinstall the OS, but I
see no messages on the monitor. The video on/off light just slowly blinks
on and off like it's not getting a signal. Checked all the cables and they
seem to be firmly seated. The HD spins up, but it's not as loud/active as I
expect it to be. Plus, when I try a Ctrl-Alt-Delete after awhile, I hear
two sharp noises/beeps from the HD.
I'm not a HW guy at all, so don't know what the significance of this is, if
any.
If none, any suiggestions on what to try next?

XP sees MiniDV camcorder via firewire but capture software cannot

DV camcorder. This is confirmed in the Device Manager, where the DV
camcorder is listed in the in the Imaging Devices section underneath
my Logitech webcam. So far so good.
When I run AMCap or WinDV to capture the video (I tried both), it
identifies the device in the list of possible capture devices (that
is, it sees my webcam and my MiniDV camcorder).
However, when I change the active device from the drop-down menu from
webcam to camcorder, the status message says "Initializing..." and the
software freezes. When I play the video on my camcorder, no
corresponding image ever appears on the screen. (FWIW, I cannot even
shut down WinDV in the task manager until I turn off the camcorder.)
So, in conclusion, XP says the hardware is ready to use. It correctly
identifies it. But the capture software is having a problem
communicating with the camera.
(Btw, I tried connecting the camcorder into each of the two firewire
ports, I restarted the PC between attempts, I refreshed the hardware
device list. I haven't yet tested the camcorder on another computer
yet.)
1. Is there any other capture software you recommend?
2. Could the webcam be messing things up?
3. Is the mobo somehow messing things up?
4. Is there a new MiniDV driver I need to install? I remember years
ago there was something about the MS driver versus the Texas
Instruments driver? Is this somehow related?

Copying DVD contents to HD painfully slow...
Hi,
I've got relatively current gear (Seagate & WD drives, and a Plextor DVDR
drive) but I'm finding the 90 minutes it takes to dump the content of a DVD
onto my HD unnecessarily excessive. Is it supposed to take that long to copy
3-4 gigs worth of raw data to a HD? The target drive isn't even the one
Windows is installed on, which is supposed to help speed-wise.
What could be causing this, and how could I tweak WinXP (fully patched) into
speeding this up? I've got 4GB of ram (even though 2 are being wasted most
of the time).
Thanks. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330688
Windows XP Pro SP2 - 4GB RAM but Windows only shows 3 GB
Hi,
I have 2 Dell laptops with same hardawre configuration, 4 GB RAM and Windows
XP Pro SP2.
They have been bought in an interval of one month so BIOS is not exactly at
the same version.
On the oldest one, Windows correctly displays 4GB, for instance in task
manager when the most recent one only displays 3GB.
I precise hat winmsd displays that my RAM is 4 GB in both laptops.
Sorry if it is a FAQ but I didn't find the answer when I searched in this
forum.
Thank you for reading this message and thanks to those that can help to
solve this problem.

DVD driver not reading/recognizing discs
Hi,
I have a NEC ND-3550A DVD driver that has recently being "on strike" for
certain DVDs I tried to play on it. The DVDs were actually created using the
driver itself, which worries me a bit as I have quite a few...
You pop the DVD into the driver, it tries to read it for a while and then
just changes the driver icon and when you double-click it, it's as if the DVD
had no contents.
Does anyone know of any reason why it would do that or could like point me
in some direction using Google or something?
Much appreciated! As always...

Lost wireless keyboard + mouse
Yesterday after doing an uninstall of iTunes browser I lost my HP
wireless keyboard / mouse.
I can use the PC if I plug in a cabled keyboard / mouse, but the
wireless kb / mouse do not work.
When I reboot and then plug in the USB receiver (for the kb / mouse)
the Found New Hardware Wizard pops up. If I tell it to install it
doesn't find a driver and fails.
I don't know where to tell it to find a driver, and I don't have an
install CD for it. I've swapped it to other USB ports, and have used
other items in the USB port.
Device Manager says it is not configured properly and has the option
of selecting to install a driver. All other references to USB in
Device Manager are functioning properly.
There is not a driver on the HP web site, and HP chat was not helpful;
they were grasping at straws toward the end. The did reference
chipset files, but poorly.
Restore to earlier dates does not help.
I've not been able to locate any generic drivers.
It seemed that the iTunes browser install was tangled up with the
.NetFrame install some how. The uninstall process seemed to say it
was uninstalling two versions of .NetFrame.
Any help would be appreciated. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330626

DVD drive not seeing disks
Our "Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-107D" is consistently refusing to see certain
types of disk, that it used to be able to read and write.
156MB CD-RWs and DVD-Rs do not show up - the drive appears to be
empty.
CD/CD-Rs play and write normally.
Windows says the device is working fine, and we have the most recent
driver. This is intensely annoying. Do I need a different driver? Is
it a problem with the DVD drive? Is there a way I can find out? Please

XP slowdown + best 5 1/4" bay HD caddy please :-)
Sorry for possibly OT:'ing again but, it takes sooooo long trawling around
for hardware on websites and reviews, and there's bound to be kind soul in
here who knows all about hard-disk caddy's / removable hard-disk bays.
...little bit of background...
I just know that I'm going to flatten this system soon ! It was like
greased lightening after its' fresh install, with new motherboard and cpu
and SATA hd's early last year. I've never pinned down what's slowing it
down - I've been looking for that, on and off, ever since. I repair
installed my XP Home ed. a few weeks ago, and dragged it back up to
scratch - still no sign of that breathtaking responsiveness that was only
there for its' first few weeks - last year. That's not to say it's slow -
it's pretty responsive, ...and quite useable, ...and reliable, ...and it is
VERY robust. ....but, ...I keep thinking I would like to rearrange the
innards of my old Lian-Li PC-60 slightly so that my boot hd is in a hd
caddy, which I can yank it out, and install from scratch onto a new hd, in a
much more gradual and methodical fashion, at my leisure, over a period of
days, and a few weeks maybe, whilst retaining "this" XP Home ed.
installation for "normal" use, until I can permanently move, to my more
"methodically built" XP Home ed. paltform. I really would like to pin-down,
where the "slow-down" occurs.
(PleeeeeeZ no EULA lectures...:-)
I've spent considerable time, in bits, looking into this for several months.
I keep an eye on running processes, hd bus mastering is working lovely i.e.
hd transfer speed is excellent, I've looked, in detail, into every bios
option, KB869256 didn't solve it, I've pruned out Windows services several
times, rather I've "preened" my windows ....I digress....
Lian-Li removeable IDE hd-bay/hd caddies are quite expensive when I
last spotted them on a site somewhere, a long time ago, and I don't know if
they make SATA ones nowadays, ...I guess they do. ...and I don't want the
cheaper plastic ones for obvious reasons, so does anyone know for
half-decent quality hd bays and caddies ?
TIA

Cannot connect to the printer operation could not be completed
I used to have two desktops A & B, they have internet sharing and
printer sharing , they were working fine.
Desktop A XP Professional SP2 PC has got two printers (HP and Samsung)
connected directly (USB cable), and Printer sharing is turned on .
I bought another Desktop to replace B, because B is an old PC.
From the Desktop B, when attempting to chose the option :
Code:
--------------------
A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer
--------------------
, to add a shared printer , I can browse and see the printers name (hp
and Samsung), however, when I attempt to
connect both of them, I get the following error:
Code:
--------------------
cannot connect to the printer operation could not be completed error
--------------------
Do I need to have admin account with their passwords on both Desktop to
be able to share the printers ?

Gameport doesn't work on XP
Recently I bought a new computer. It doesn't have a gameport, so I installed
my old sound card (Creative SB) in it. Windows (XP Professional) identified
the card and gameport, and installed their drivers. The soundcard really
works now (although I have an audio device included in the motherboard - it's
Intel DG31PR, if it makes any difference). But the gameport doesn't work - it
claims the joystick is "not connected". I tried every solution I found in the
Knowledge Base, but none helped.
Strangely, the soundcard was installed at I/O port 0xD000 instead of 220H.
Windows doesn't let me change it. I checked with Intel, and the motherboard
doesn't assign any I/O ports, so it must be windows (they hinted that it may
be a registery issue). I don't know if it is related to the gameport issue,
as the soundcard itself works fine.
I'll alos comment that these very soundcard and joystick worked on the old
computer.
I'd thank any help. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 330600
