    - 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: plug and play portable hard drive 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: plug and play portable hard drive Tag: 330446

    - USB2.0 Camera says this device can perform faster I have a Dell Latitude D620 notebook with Windows XP SP2. Whenever I connect devices that are USB2 capable, they function at USB2 speeds, EXCEPT my Sony DSC-S500 camera.

I have tried unistalling the USB Mass Storage Device in the Device Manager, but that did nothing for me. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: plug and play portable hard drive Tag: 330438

    - 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: plug and play portable hard drive 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: plug and play portable hard drive Tag: 330398

At the borron of the screen are 2 options; 1. Enter F1 for Setup. 2. Press Escape to skip Memory Test. Hitting F1 and/or the Esc key has no effect. Nothing happens. Both 512 RAM chips were removed. 2 other 256 RAM chips were tested. The original new Crucial 512 RAM chips were reinstalled. Nothing happens. Hitting F1 and/or the Esc key has no effect. PC Doctor test on MB and RAM memory tested OK. Would the last MS Windows Updates affect the Hardware / BIOS / Memory test ? Which MB test would you run on the MB ?

    - 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.

That's but no clue since I had to un-plug and to re-plug the cam each time.

    - 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: plug and play portable hard drive Tag: 330270

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.

    - 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).

The laser is there as the local ip address comes up when I checkout the router. I can ping that local ip address and its Ok. I can also go into the printers setup, and everything is OK. But when I try to 'add a printer' on my XP computer it just does not find it. Also I try to find local network printer in 'my network places' its not there. Any ideas please.

    - Fresh install or ghost migration I currently have a 3 year old P4 running WinXP sp2 with all updates. I am building a new high end computer to replace this one and I wantto continue to run XP. I would like to know if it is better to do a fresh install of the OS and all apps (big pain), or it is just as good to ghost the drives using a program like Norton Ghost of Save & Restore? Why? Thanks, Tag: plug and play portable hard drive Tag: 330097

    - Login error device not functioning Recently, I am unable to log in using remote desktop. I have received the following problem on the same day each of the last three weeks. And it requires a reboot of the remote computer, and then it works fine. The problem is that someone isn't always available to restart. This is the error message: "Error connecting to existing session for {username} (Id 0) A device attached to the system is not functioning." I have a dell dimension 4300, running xp pro sp2.

    - 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.

You may need to go into "properties" on My computer, then disk management.
Then see if you have enough available drives for the pc to assign. Sometimes
the device does not have a drive letter to be assigned to it. Create/add a
new drive letter if possible and this might work.
