Entering my kingston 1GB memory card into my Motorola SLVR L7, i locate it in
my phone storage devices as 'Card - Unformatted'
I press Details and a message comes up:

'Storage device unreadable.
Format now?'

So I click OK
'Formatting will erase all data.
Continue?'
I click YES
A small message comes up saying 'formatting card' with a revolving sand-timer to show me that it's still formatting, however, this only lasts for 1 second
before i get another message saying:
'Format Failed.
Try Again?'
so i try again and again but it will not format.
I do not own a card reader so i'm unable to format it on my computer.
If i was to have to spend out more money on a card reader, i dont even know if
it'd work.

How can I make my memory card work, preferrably without having to buy a card
reader?

BTW; My mum bought me this as a christmas present and the warranty says 'only refundable if returned within 7 days' so it's FAR too late to get a refund/exchange.

I'm looking for a low cost printer for printing documents. I use black ink 90% of the time if at all.

It seems most of the printers are for photo's.

Thanks for any help.

I have 2 computers I use all the time; my notebook and my desktop. Over the years, I have put hundreds of dollars into songs, TV shows, and movies from iTunes spread out between the 2 computers.

I want to move all of the library from my desktop to my laptop, and vice versa. I know how to do this and will be doing it with one of my expternal hard drives.

However, I hear that you cannot put TV shows etc on two computers. I hear that in order to move it from one PC to another, I have to deauthorize one (even though I am allowed to have 5 authorized PCs to my account).

Is it possible to have my entire library on both computers at the same time? I want to make sure it is even do-able before I spend my time moving 400 GB in media.

Thanks!

I have an old Compaq Deskpro computer that only has 128 memory, I believe. Needless to say, even with high speed internet, its slow. Where can I get cheap memory, 512 or higher, besides Ebay?

My childrens pc is a GA7VTXE mobo with an AMD 1600cpu. I have been given an emachine IM845GV mobo and a P4 1.8a chip. Before I start a rebuild can anyone tell me if it is worth the effort. Will also have to replace the 128meg graphic card as no AGP slot on the emachine board. I am thinking it should be a bit faster but just how much and will it be noticable. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Stiffshifter.

I bought a new 2.0 USB hub and a USB 2.0 PCI card for my system. (Got a new printer) The PCI card does not fit onto my motherboard because it has 4 ports on it; It physically won't fit. (I know, should have checked before I bought it!) I've looked online, and it seems like all of the USB PCI cards have ports on them. Am I just out of luck and will have to live with the low-speed, or do they make the cards without the ports? By the way, I have a Dell Dimension 2350 that is about 4 years old. Thanks!

There are time when it starts up and the notebook tuns on, and for some reason it will freeze and will not continue to run. There are other times that it will start up and than as soon as my desktop starts appearing, it will freeze.

Having upgraded from an M-audio Fast track to a fast track pro, I'm now finding mid-range hiss or noise slightly evident in playback. It seems odd as with the same phono cables going to the same amp/speakers the sound is seemingly slightly worse off than before my upgrade (I upgraded primarily for the midi inputs). Going through the headphone output of the interface the sound is fantastic, as is when taking mono phono signals (from either the left or the right) from the interface. I'm pretty clueless about all this stuff, but my interface now has 'pre-amps' which I don't believe the previous had. Maybe that has something to do with it? Any thoughts why there is this mid-range sort of hiss when using the stereo phono output? Any solutions? Any help much appreciated. x
