The problem I am having is I have to charge the battery in the mouse at least once a week. Do you know if I could insert non-rechargeable batteries that at least last for six months?

I have been using dual monitors to extend my display area. Last night it appears that there was an automatic update to my PC. Not a problem, except now my second display is not showing up. I know it's on because the power button is blinking. How do I get the second monitor to show the display again? This happened before after an update but I can't remember how we fixed it. I'm using...

Last night HP Update told me it had a recommended update and I let it install. When I came back to to the computer 5 minutes later it had frozen. The whole system had frozen and I had no way of either stopping the update or shutting down the computer. I then manually turned off the computer and then restarted. Everything seemed fine until this morning when I tried to insert a disk and...

Hi, I too am having a mouse issue with Vista however mine is a bit different. The mouse works fine until I press the shift, alt or ctrl keys then I get a 3-4 second 'pause' or freeze of the mouse then it starts working again. At first I thought this was something to do with the handicap features like sticky keys and such... I have never used them and I have verified that all those...

I am running Vista on my desktop. I recently got a large memory card for my camera and began using it to take long videos for the first time (with my old memory card I only had enough space for still photos and short video clips). Doing this I discovered a problem that I didn't know existed: My computer cannot copy large files using a USB card reader. While I haven't been able to find the...

I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate SP1, and am having trouble with my DVDRW CDR. I'm using a Dell Insperion 9300 - profile was fine for upgrade. I did a clean install using the full version of Vist Ultimate - reformating the HD first. The drive will read fine, but will not write to a CD. I checked the drivers, and all is up to date. I tried downloading and installing serveral differnent...

My sound (Creative SB X-fi Plat) quit working in Windwos Vista SP1 64 bit for no apparent reason. If you check the internet this seems to be a very common problem for users.

my cd/dvd player just stopped working. I'm 2 months past my 1st year and of course Compaq suggest a 176.00 replacement device. I tried deleting upper and lower filters, uninstalling/reinstalling hardware, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions???? desperate!!

Hey all, I have 2 1gb sticks of dual channel ram. Was running XP 32 bit before. I added another 2gb stick and since XP can only see up to 3gb, decided to give Vista x64 another shot. (I had used it before but went back to XP because of driver issues) Anyway, P5N-5 SLI is my mobo

I am working on a simply backup solution on a new dell with vista, I made a batch script that would simply use ROBOCOPY to automatically back up certain folders. I made an autorun.inf file that works fine on another computer to call this batch script, and the batch itself runs fine when called manually, but autorun refuses to work. I have tried many things to fix it. Additionally, when I...

I have a mic problem where the mircophone line acts as a output line like a speaker, u can record the mic and u will hear system sounds (mp3 music, gaming sounds) but not my voice. i have tried 2 soundcards and two headsets, formated 2 times. I think thats vista thinks it has a 7.1 speaker setup so it made the mic line to an outline. it worked 3 weeks ago.
