The microphone on my headset has been working fine for a couple of months. Every time I plugged the microphone jack from the headset in the right jack of my laptop a dialog box came up with a list of items that may be used in the jack port. Microphone was first on the list and highlighted and I would click ok. Thinking I was making a shortcut for myself within this dialog box I clicked...

hello everyone, I've just upgraded my WindowsXP to Vista. For the installation I had to remove one of my three memory sticks allready, because the Vista CD wouldn't boot with all three installed the sophisticated green activity indicator would just stop at some point. Now, after the upgrade the same applies to the installed Vista System. It doesn't boot with 3 GB. No error message most of...

Hi, there. :) Okay, so yesterday both my laptop, an hp Pavillion dv6700, and my mom's, an hp G60, decided it'd be cool to stop working. (What're the chances of that?) And I've already typed up this post earlier but my computer (my mom's laptop) froze and shut down just as I pressed Submit, so I'll try to be brief. This morning I called HP tech support and they had me run a hard disk self test...

My keyboard will start malfunctioning intermittently. When I type "asdf" the results are "asdfghjkl;’`\zxcvbnm,./-+\1234567890-=qwertyuiop\" when typed over and over. Notice that this is the middle row then the lower row and then the number row and then the qwerty row. This happens in Office 2003 programs when it occurs as well as other programs.

My OS has been very stable (latest patches etc applied, no new software/hardware). When I rightclick on the Sndvol.exe applet in the SysTrack the menu appears. I can choose Playback, Record, etc. but NOT Open Volume Mixer. Nor do I see the slider. When I left click on the Open Volume Mixer it looks like it triggers an Event to the OS, but nothing happens. I have rebooted (warm & cold) and...

Hello I have a question about my Attache flash drive and my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop running Vista Home Premium. When I boot up my computer and plug in my flash drive, the small red light on the memory stick flashes on and off for a few minutes and my cursor blinks quickly between the Vista spinning icon and the pointing arrow.

However, I read somewhere yesterday that some files may still be recoverable by knowledgeable searchers. I had some files that I never...

I like to build computers as a hobby and have been doing it for some years now. I have some family and I have generally handed down my year old computers to them so that I would have a reason to build me a new one. When I am done building one I look at the hardware monitor stuff in the BIOS and like the CPU temp to be below 120 F. Not that I think that it matters all that much but 120 is...

Hello. I'm wanting to know how to remap two keystrokes into the one key. If its possible, I'd like it to work like Microsoft Keyboard Layout, where you can disable it and re-enable it at any time. What I want to do is: combine a shift key into the Enter Key, so that when I press enter it automatically works as if I'm holding shift and enter. Its for a game, that makes the chat automatically go...
