I have the software installed for a Nokia 6680, a motorola CRZR and a Navman Satallite navigation system. When I connect any one of them to the computer the software says that there is no device connected. I have 4 usb ports on my computer 2 of which are used by the modem and keyboard and they work fine. When I connect my mobile devices to these USB ports they don't work.
The computer makes a sound indicating that it's detected the device but the devices software says there's no devices connected. I've already tried re-installing the software loads of times. I really need help on this issue. I've tried everything to try and get it to work.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance.

I have a Windows XP. I just recently turned off the computer and it had the little shield next to the shut down button meaning that it had to download something. Well, I left a little while later and it said like "the memory could not be read" and a bunch of numbers and letters. I clikcked okay and for a few minutes it did nothing. So i held down the power button to turn it off. I turned it back on and it didnt start right Now when Start it up, i can get to my desktop and my icons and bottom bar, but when I try to open any program, the hour glass keeps spining around and around and around for a long time. I'm not very intellegent with computers. Please help!

I finished building a comp for my sis last week. After booting to the XP desktop, CTRL-alt_del, performance tab. The processor is running @ 70-90%. When you try to open a program such as media player the comp reacts slowly. This is built on a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 board with an AMD Athlon 64 3500 cpu, 1GB dual channel ddr400 memory, nvidia based pcie video card 512mb.

Any ideas? Maybe a bad MB? Does anyone know of a free board diagnostic program and where to find it?

Recently built new 'puter and first time using ASUS motherboard. Really like it. Is a P4S800D-X. Everything works good on it, but when I shut it off, and go to restart it later, it says that I have to enter BIOS and select proper boot device. And when I go in there, the HDD does not register right away. When it does, it is greyed out and says new device detected, please reboot. So then I do and I gotta go select the HDD to boot from again, then I hit F10 to save and exit, but it never saves, still gotta do all that over again. Any Help please!! Thank You.

I've got a Dell OptiPlex GX50 Desktop, and I cleared the Hard Drive on it 1 time, and the software and drivers for the sound card are gone. Now everything that is coming from the Internet (sound related) sounds like a chipmunk. I asked my computer what to do (troubleshooting) and it said to go in to the computer and take it out and plug it into the expansion slot. It didn't give me any pictures, so I don't know what to do. I can get into the computer easy, but I don't know what it looks like. I saw something that I guessed was a sound card, but it turns out it isn't. The computer told me to plug it into the expansion slot and turn the computer back on and it's Plug 'n' Play features should automatically detect the new device and automatically install it. The drivers should be on there somewhere, right?

Where can I find laptops with a Pentium D processor? I looked on dell.com and couldn't find any and was looking to actually buying a dell computer. Also, would it be better to buy a Intel Core 2 Duo processor or a Pentium D? Why? Thank you.

I found some RAM online that I want to purchase but I don't know if it's compatible with my computer. I know for a fact that my computer takes PC133 SDRAM 168-pin. Now is that all I need to know to make the purchase or is there still the possibility that it might not work?

The memory in question is IBM PC133 reg ECC SDRAM 33L3151 (and my computer is an IBM NetVista M41 6792-xxx). I hope I provided enough info! I'm in desparate need of RAM and I can't find the answer anywhere! :-o Thanks in advance for any help!

I backup my Avi files from my External Drive to DVD. Although the target Max burn speed that the software detects is 8X, the actual burn rate is always between 3.1-3.5X. It takes about 35 mins to burn a DVD. Is my PC the bottleneck? What are ways to improve this if you don't think my PC is the bottleneck?
I have another burner (nonSony) and it's burning the same slow rate. Please help.
Thanks a lot.
My system:
DVD Burner: Sony DRU-120C Burn Rate 16X both +- DVD Disk
DVD Disk: Verbatim tried both + and - 8X and 16X
PC: Pentium 3: 800 Mhz (I know it's old)
Software: Roxio Creator 8
