I have a lightly used Sony VAIO VGN SZ110 laptop that runs great except for the fact that it doesn't recognize or see the battery. Unplugging it has the same result as if you unplugged a desktop. The battery icon in the task bar shows no battery preset. There is a brand new battery in the...

I have a Micro Star International P7N SLI Platinum Mobo that changes the boot sequence by itself no matter what order I put them in or if I disable all boot devices. It assigns the floppy first, then my optical drives and then my hard drives. If I assign the boot HD, it lives with that unless it...

Upon reinstalling Vista on another HD due to a catastrophic boot failure, the new install won't let me access the old drive. I CAN access it with XP Home but, I have some encrypted files I would like to recover and XP Home doesn't do encryption. I have managed to salvage just about everything...

I've done this before but without the problems I'm having now. Usually when I upgrade, I can either boot from the install CD and get a repair prior installation option which wipes out all the service packs for XP, or I can get into Safe Mode and install new drivers there until it will boot...

I have an HP P1006 LaserJet printer hooked up to an XP Home SP3 computer via USB that works just fine when printing directly to the printer or from other XP machines on the LAN. The Access Denied comes when I try to hook up via my network to it with a computer running Vista Business. When I try...

I am having difficulty getting my Canon MF3110 printer to work with Ubuntu. The Ubuntu machine is networked to an XP machine which has the printer hooked up via USB. I have 2 other XP machines networked as well and all can use the printer except the Linux box. I have tried the redirected port...

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu on a 10 gig HD and I am left with only 2.2 gig of free space after install. I had Ubuntu format and partition the drive and there is no other OS or software on the drive. It is a dual boot system but XP is on another HD. What can I do to recover...

I have a brand new Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 320 GByte PATA hard drive that has suddenly stopped working. It is no longer seen by the bios on the original computer or on another computer it was temporarily installed in. It does power up and makes the usual start up noises but that's as far as...

After a successful install, my audio inputs stopped working on my sound card. I have updated the drivers, rolled back the drivers, uninstalled the card, reinstalled the card and drivers with the latest and greatest and still no joy. Clicking on the Recording Devices in Sounds in the Control...

In attempting to upgrade to Vista Business from XP home, the installation hangs right after I enter the product code and hit enter. It also hangs if I manually select the version of Vista I have. The Task Manager goes to 100% CPU usage and the hard drive light weakly flashes intermittantly but...

I can't get any audio from either of my DVD drives. All other audio sources work normally. I've checked the mixer and audio settings and all indications are that it should work. .avi's work normal as do all other audio and video inputs, just DVD audio is silent. TIA

I just bought an ASUS A8N-E mobo with Athlon 64 3200+ processor and 1G RAM. The thing works great!! The question I have is how would I go about installing dual video cards in it? It has a 16x PCI-e slot with a PNY nVidia 7600GS card in it, 2 1x PCI-E slots unoccupied and 1 4x PCI-E slot also...

I have Fedora Core 3 installed in conjunction with WinXP SP2. I want to uninstall Fedora in order to install Slackware's version of Linux. (Some software I use at work will use Slackware and I want to learn its idiosyncracies at home as well.) I am a newbie in Linux and want to do this without...
