I've bought myself a Seagate 320GB External HDD (USB 2.0 - 8MB cache if relevent) which i've plugged into my computer. It's supposed to just plug and go, however the machine is throwing up a window saying "WINDOWS NEEDS TO INSTALL DRIVER SOFTWARE FOR YOUR SEAGATE EXTERNAL DRIVE". Of course, the drive didn't come supplied with a CD as Seagate said it should plug and play. Eventually it...

I can synchronize my Cingular 2125 phone to Vista using Mobile Device Center with no problem. What I can't do is use my 2125 as a DUN connection (which I could do successfully when my notebook was built with XP SP2). I have created the connection and when I double-click the connection I see the modems connecting message and nothing more. I can successfully query the modem from Device...

My new Vista Ultimate system does not seem to recognize my DVD as a burner. I can read data DVDs, play movies etc. It is a Lite-On LH-20A1S SATA burner. The system was built by me from a legal OEM Vista disk. Processor is AMD X2 64 bit processor. The only 'foreign' DVD software installed is RealPlayer V10.5. (ie no Nero etc) In Windows Media Player under 'Burn' it says 'Connect a burner...

Hello there, I bought a laptop mouse which works fine all of the time - except when Vista starts up. On start up the mouse is disabled and I unplug the USB plug and re-insert into the same socket.. the mouse is instantly alive and working. Now, I would have thought that once finding the mouse, it would recognise it next time Vista was started - but it doesn't - even when the machine is...

The Microsoft supplied driver when installing Vista is not working properly and the notebook does not run in dual mode and I can not connect an external monitor or LCD Projector. Toshiba Level 3 support simply came to the conclusion that there is no driver that works at the moment and can not provide a date when they will have one. This is an expensive note book fully loaded with Blue...

The hardware driver installs without any complaints. I can see the scanner in device manager and all looks well. I try to install the TWAIN control panel component and the installer complains that the OS is not supported. I'm sure that if the installer hadn't checked the OS version that it would have installed and worked normally. Is there any way I can convince the installer that I'm...

When I look at the system from the control panel it shows I have 3324Gb of RAM yet when I look at the system BIOS it shows I have 4Gb installed, which I do. When I look at the RAM on my Windows XP laptop it shows 512 Mb of RAM which is correct. What gives?

Hello all, I just bought a new Dell system which came with 250GB SATA drive. I want to add my older 80GB IDE drive into the new system but the all the cables coming off the power supply look like SATA power connector. Is is possible for me to use the IDE drive in the new OptiPlex system? This SATA stuff is totally new for me so I don't know much about how to get other things to co-exist...
