I just bought a Compaq computer, which came with Windows Vista. I'm trying to get all of my music (2.5 Gigs) from my laptop, which I was using before this computer. I have a 40 Gig WD Passport, and I've loaded my music onto it from the laptop. I've plugged it into the USB port of my new desktop, and I can't open the back-up file. It won't open unless I find a file to open it with, but...

My 2 year old toshiba laptop died and I removed the HD and got a USB encolsure for it and have tried to connect it to my new laptop. VIsta recognizes it as a USB mass storage device, but it won't assign it a drive letter or appear in the computer panel. What gives?? --

Hi all...So I've let my laptop overheat several times, and all of a sudden, I found it to be slow! As molasses. I ran some utilities (PC Doctor 5 which ships with all IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads), and that gave it a passing grade! So I run my trust tool "PC Wizard", and even when I have it plugged in, turn the battery scheme to "Maximum Performance", PC Wizard only ever displays 997.45MHz anymore. No...

Folks, Hi everyone! I am really desperate for a answer to this riddle. I hope you guys can respond even if you have suggestions "only"...doesn't matter.

I just got a brand new Canon SD1100IS camera. I installed all of the included software. I wanted to change some things using the MyCamera software on my computer. So I connected it to my USB port, and no AutoPlay window comes up. That's strange. So I see this little thing in the system notifications bar near the clock, a little green rotating icon. I click it, and it says "Searching...

I tried to install Vista on my laptop which has an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphics controller. I was booted into the "basic" version of windows Vista so I couldn't see the snazzy aero interface. What I'm wondering is if there's any way to make my graphics card support pixelshader 2.0(which was the only reason, according to the upgrade advisor, that I couldn't view aero) or if that's a...

About 4 days ago, this computer started behaving erratically on many accounts but this is the most puzzling. Attached to the machine I have (or had) a small touchscreen (Xenarc 702TSV). The screen was the first item to have problems; one of the ribbon cables on the circuit board came loose and that was the beginning of its demise. During troubleshooting of the screen, I disconnected it by...

None of them at this time. Use only drivers provided by Microsoft. They're dragging their feet on Linux drivers for the new 7025/7050 chips too BTW. :| -- Crito
