My printer and external hard drive (both USB) now come up as "Unknown Device" in Device Manager. I have used them both for months in the past with no problem on my Windows XP machine. When I check "Properties" it says that "No drivers are installed for this device." I have tried turning the devices off, unplugging them and plugging them in again (in the USB ports both in front and in back of my computer), to no avail. A few more notes:
-I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software, and nothing changes.
-I started up the computer in safe mode, and both "Unknown Devices" still showed up in the Device Manger.
-The devices start up fine when plugged into my ohter computer, so I'm pretty certain that the problem is not with them.
-Several flash drives also are "Unknown" when plugged in. Oddly, I have one flash drive that is identified properly.
I've looked over many user groups and help files, and haven't seen anything like this. Can anyone help?

I am thinking of getting a media center pc - The Acer Aspire Idea 510. Its got all sorts of connections on the back, but I'm not sure about whether the onboard sound card will be that good for playing cds and stuff. So, I want to get a good expensive sound card. Ahh, one problem, theres no pci slots! Is there like external pci exclosures with a usb connection? I have seen ones like it, but they use a pci card to connect the external box with the pc, which is a problem, as the HTPC has no pci slots. Is there any way round this, like a usb one or anything? any comments would be appreciated.

I'ved checked the cartridges, uninstalled it, re-installed it, unplugged it and plugged it back in. It prints half a page and spits it out. Is it time for a new printer?

I use a Windows 2000 computer.

ok i just got a (used) computer for christmas, and it worked ok for a while besides some small fixable problems, but now ive run into a big problem. If i'm on the computer for longer then about 20 minutes the whole computer shuts off (its not overheating). Then i have to wait a while before it will let me back on. When it comes back on it says the problem was caused by the ATI graphics driver, but it doesnt know how to fix the problem but suggests i update it. The laptop is only several years old, its a toshiba satellite, windows xp. And the hardware that has the problem is ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP. Has anyone had this problem before? What could it be and if it is that i need to update it then could you please post the link to download the update. First person who resolves the problem gets best answer. Thanks

all i want to do is take the ethernet cable that is currently plugged into my desktop and plug it into my laptop to get on the web. the modem is working fine because there is no problem getting on the web with the desktop. but, when i plug the eth. cable into the laptop, i can't get on the web. i'm showing two enabled available connections on the laptop, but when i try to connect, they both say that i have limited or no connectivity. i've gone through "internet properties" too and clicked on the "connections" tab and made sure that "never dial a connection" is selected as an option. i'm not sure what to do at this point. thanks

I have a nintendo DS which only accepts connection speeds of 2mbps.

I have a: Actiontec - M1424WRverizonFIOS router. My connection is typically 48 mbps, which is much too fast for my DS to connect to. I know how to set the speed to 2mbps for the whole router, but I'd have to change it back all the time when I want to use my computer(s). Is there a way to manually set a specific IP address to get only a 2mbps connection?

A pair of (positive) integer numbers are called twin primes if they are both prime numbers and the difference between them is 2, i.e. they are consecutive odd numbers and they are prime numbers. (3, 5), (5, 7) and (11, 13) are three examples of such pair of twin prime numbers.

Write a program to display all the pairs of twin prime numbers which are less than 100.

Caution: You need to write a program to find and list all the twin primes. Your program should be easily extended to other ranges.

There are certain security issues Im having with my computer. The security is not allowing anything. I cannot install games from CDs without being loged in as an administrator. And the Administrator is currently too far away to use this computer. I was thinking of ending a few processes from internet security and my anti-virus program. However Im worried if I end these processes they will never start up again. and that could be really bad for my computer. What should I do?
