Hardware - January 2007

I can only put 167 wma files on my 2gb pen drive and I could only put 167 on my 1gb SD card. I thought my SD card was full so I bought a 2gb pen but it still only takes 167 files. I looked in properties to see how much space was left and it says there's 1.7gb empty space left. What do I need to do to get more wma files on it?
Thanks in anticipation.

I have a thift store Dell Dimension XP Home Edition that worked excellent for six months but for some reason now is asking for a password during the boot up. This is before it gets to the windows stage. I asked about the previous owner at the thrift store but they have no idea who donated the computer so I have no way of asking the previous owner.

I have an HP laptop with 1 gig of RAM, a 100gb hdd with 46gb remaining, a core duo 1.73Ghz and 533mhz FSB. Bought it in august
When I'm working on it, it becomes really slow for about 8-10 seconds and becomes all right again. it happens every 10-15 minutes.
I scanned for spyware and viruses, but my system's clean.

I asked the question earlier but when I'm replacing the hard drive by just cloning the old hard drive to a new one, (not reloading Windows, not formatting a new drive), will I get rid of the SMART message at startup? Basically, will it also copy over to the new drive the memory to display the SMART message when I clone the drive? How does it know I have a new drive in it since it's an exact copy of the old drive? Does it detect that the drive has been disconnected?

I have an HP computer, about 3 yrs old. It has 2 CD drives (one recordable). Suddenly they didn't work. I checked Device Manager, they are both listed, but both say it can't load the drivers. I have deleted and reinstalled the drives with the same result. I subscribed to a service that keeps drivers up to date. It says the drivers are fine for both drives. Are both drives bad or is it really a problem with the drivers?

Hi guys, happy new year to you all, thanks for taking the time to read this. I've got these horrible grainy lines coming up on windows, both vertically and horizontally. It's not the monitor because I've tried two different ones, it's not the graphics card because I took it out and connected through the original monitor port and it's still coming up, it's not a virus because I scanned with my symantec antivirus and there was no infection, It's not my resolution because I've changed it and it's still there. It's so so frustrating! Any ideas would be SO greatly appreciated, thanks a lot guys. Take it easy and all the very best.

I recently have had my laptop completely cleaned up due to a virus. I belive this involved removing all software including XP and reinstating it. Prior to this I had no problem with my USB ports. My ipod updated in seconds and all other devises connected through USB were also fine. However since it has come back from being repaired, I get a messge when a USB such as my ipod is connected saying that a high speed device has been connected to a low speed USB port. It can now take up to 45 minutes to update a 1Gb amount of files. Under 'hardware' and 'device manager' the USB controllers do not say USB 2.0. Is it possible that the guys who repaired the laptop have done somethign to effect this?
