This sounds familiar - I've run into this several times in the past. My memory is failing me and I don't have a step-by-step procedure for you but its pretty simple. You need to bring up the Disk...

Good day to all.

My wife told me yesterday that Internet Explorer on her Win 7 (64-bit) machine isn't working anymore. Apparently, its been broken for a few days but she told me only yesterday. ...

Good day to all.

My WIn 7 Pro 64-bit box has started to not recognize my external USB hard drives. It started off with one USB port being a problem and has since increased to 2 ports being...

Yeah - about the only thing that I've done that actually works is to use a wide piece of tape (duct tape) to secure the connector to the bottom of the netbook. Actually works quite well.

I am looking for Windows 98 or 98se drivers for a couple of Samsung printers. These are both USB printers but I plan to actually...

I'm assuming that this is in Windows 7.

Go to the Control Panel and select the 'Sound' icon. Note - I have my Control Panel set up displaying Small Icons - the Sound icon may be hidden inside one...

Good day to all.

I spent an unpleasant 5 hours or so last night fixing an 'Oops'. Its a long story, but I'll be as quick as I can.

My Win 7 Pro box has been stable for more than a year now. ...

Well, I must be tired or something - it never even occurred to me to run chkdsk. I left the drive connected to my IDE / SATA - USB adapter and did just that. Chkdsk did make the drive bootable...

OK - I can install the drive in one of my desktop machines. But: what repair tools are available? Names, URLs greatly appreciated.

Good day to all.

I have an older netbook that normally has a 500GB drive installed in it. The drive is partitioned as a 15GB "C" drive, with the rest going to the "D" partition.

I was asked to...

I'm not sure, but I don't think that its a boot block problem. Reason: I can get into Vista's Repair Console. I don't think that would be possible if the boot block was bad.

I think that I will take your advice. I tried installing a retail Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc and everything seems to work well. I used the Vista TouchPad and Bluetooth drivers but downloaded...

Many thanks for that link. I truly had NO idea how wide-spread this problem was!

I've spent the past couple of days trying many of the things listed on that page as well as some of the things...

One of the first things I checked was to make sure that the machine was not set to use an external display. Hitting the hot-key combo (Fn + F7) causes the display to blank very momentarily, then...

Good day to all.

I rebuilt a friend's Vista Home Premium laptop last fall: new hard drive and a completely fresh OS install. Machine worked fine until recently.

She sent it to me no longer...

Hi there, Gerald.

I had previously done all that you mention in your post to my Win 7 box. That is: enabling network discovery, disabling requiring passwords, etc. And, of course, I had shared...

Good day to all.

I've been dabbling with my new Win 7 box for several months now but have not done any serious work with it. The main reason I've not put much time or effort into learning the new...

Well, I guess that I have fixed the problem.

I spent a couple of evenings trying everything that I could think of as well as pretty much everything that I could find by searching the 'Net. ...

Good day to all.

Just installing a brand new 2 TB drive in my older IBM ThinkCentre - running Windows XP Pro SP3. This drive is being installed as a data drive only - the original drive will...

Hi there.

The very first thing that you should do is go to the Linksys website and download the manual for your router. Be careful - you probably need to know which version of that particular...

Hi there, Ken.



DaveA wrote in another message that Vista and Win 7 need passwords on their accounts in order for file sharing to work.

You write that passwords are not necessary.

I'm...

Question, Dave.

Can you point me to somewhere that describes the need for Vista and Win 7 machines to have passwords on their accounts? I'm wondering if that is the reason that I can't access my...

Well, I *think* that I solved the problem.

This problem was bugging me because I have recollection of having to fix something similar several years ago. It finally came to me.

How I fixed was...

Thanks for the suggestion regarding IRPStackSize.

I checked: two of the machines that were trying to access the laptop have the IRPStackSize parameter set to 25 (decimal). The other machines...
