I have messed about and confused my own self. I have two desktop computers at home that I assembled myself. A few weeks ago both of them went belly up. It was the power supply on one of them which took some other parts with it and the mainboard on the other. So of course I bought a bunch of new parts such as CPU, power supply, couple of motherboards, and a video card. After using the old...

I have a "no-name" usb port hub that I got at a web seminar. It has four ports to expand on my two native ports. I have a Dell studio xps 16 that works great. My computer (Vista home premium x64) goes to sleep and wakes up normally - except when I have the usb port hub plugged in. It then goes to sleep and wakes up immediately.. even with the lid closed. The easy solution is to remove the usb...

Windows Media Center tries to use it for cable but it doesn't set up correctly because it can't detect anything. Is there a way to use the tuner card for...

Mine turned out to be a RAM problem. I swapped out the memory stick in my Dell laptop and all is peachy. Had nothing to do with my touch- pad or drivers. RAM is so cheap it only cost 8.99 with rebate.

Basically, when I go into Disk Management, my interal hard drive, external USB harddrive (Western Digital) and Disk Drive are all unreadable.
