Hi, I want to know how to change the default folder location of Windows Media player to the "Public Music" folder under the Public folder. The reason being is that I have multiple users on one computer, but we all would like to share the music I've downloaded to my library.

What would cause Vista x32 sp2 to all of a sudden not see my DVD RW Drive. I went to open it today and nothing happened. I checked 'Computer' and the device wasn't there. I checked BIOS and it showed as 'None'. The only option in the BIOS other than 'None' was 'Disabled' I opened my computer and checked the ribbon which seemed to be connected ok. After jiggling the ribbon and checking the...

For some reason, when I go to the sounds folder in Control Panel and look at my sound devices, the only thing that shows is the built-in microphone. I have no line-in, aux, mono, cd-stereo, et cetera... those drivers just aren't there! Gone! I got this computer YESTERDAY and I can't edit any sound whatsoever unless it is recorded from my microphone. I am pretty p.o.ed. Why on earth would...

Hi all, This seems to be a new development, and I'm stumped. I've got three internal hard drives- one housing Vista Ultimate x64, one housing Ubuntu 8.04 x64, and one being used for storage for both OS's. Up until recently they've cooperated nicely. Now, the storage drive (drive E:\) will not let me write to it. I cannot rename, delete, cut, or write any new files to any part of that drive. ...

Hi, everyone! I have a Medion MD8833 computer. It has an MS7502 motherboard inside (an OEM from MSI). After having consulted medion's website, Intel's website and Medion's support desk about 8 GB support on this Mobo, I bought myself an ultimate X64 license and 4 2GB strips of memory. Well, the BIOS states 8GB, vista states 8GB installed memory and says: total memory 3325MB.

Checked the Volume Mixer in bottom right hand corner of screen. When playing

Hi, When I let the computer sit for awhile or I turn it off for the night, when it comes back on, the screen stays dim for a bit, then starts to slowly flicker and then it flashes quickly and then becomes bright and normal. It stays bright and normal until the next time it puts itself to sleep or I shut it down for any real length of time. Sometimes it stays dim and/or flickers for a longer time...

Hi, I can no longer choose a default printer, so while I can print from some programs (email programs), others say that I need to install a printer (Adobe Reader, Paint Shop Pro X2, etc.). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R220 installed. And it does print and prior to the computer getting "fixed", I did have the green checkmark on it as a default. I saw a post with someone having a similar problem...
