Hardware - June 2007

It cannot be moved because it cannot be modified, error message comes up. I tried to change the ownership and permissions part in the the Get Info section but it won't work. I really need to get this drive to work on the Mac.

I just got an international converter set but I'm afraid it won't be of help because it says not to use it with appliances that use more than 25 W.

Are there converters for computers?

Thanks.

Today my computer has started to randomly restart on me. I will be working and my computer will suddenly freeze and then reset as if someone had hit the reset button. I had this problem a few months ago and ended up replacing nearly every component in the computer: power supply, motherboard, CPU, memory, hard drives, memory stick reader, etc. It seemed to go away but it has been reoccurring again.

A stress test of the system doesn't seem to produce any results and nothing seems to be logged in DR Watson, System or Application logs. Can anybody recommend anything I can do to resolve this problem? I'm about ready to replace the motherboard once again because it seems so much like a hardware problem, not a software problem.

I am trying to fix my d drive, at the moment it won't recognise or play cd/dvd's I have tried deleting and reinstalling the driver.

I have tried right clicking the drive to explore and is says access denied.

I have clicked on format and it says I don't have suffieicent rights to perform this opperation.

I think I have a phillips dvd-ram sdvd8821 drive but I think it may be corrupted or missing.

This is all the info I have, this is really annoying me because there doesn't seem to be a remedy tothe problem.

All I wanna do is listen to a cd and its really annoying me...

Any help is kindly received

I have an Acer ScanPrisa 640P with parallel port connection. I have recently managed to obtain the driver for the scanner, which was compatible with Windows XP. Earlier, my OS would not detect the presence of the scanner. Since installing the new driver also did not help, I took the advice of a forum and changed my 'BIOS settings' so that the LPT port worked on 'EPP'. Now, I managed to get the computer to detect the scanner (it's still not present in the 'Device Manager' however.) Now, everytime I try to obtain an image from the scanner, the image-editing program (such as Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady) that I have open at the time closes immediately after the MiraScan splash screen is shown. It only seems to work in Microsoft Word, and even then the quality is not good. What's going on, and how do I fix it? Arghs, this scanner's causing me a lot of pain. =( Thanks for any help! =)

it seems like the second stick of 1GB memory is causing tcpip,sys errors. my two choices (and there are probably more) are 1, W2K does not see the second stick and it just being there is causing the crashes; or 2, the stick is bad. both are Kingston 1GB sticks, no more than two months old on a two month old computer. I have the second stick off the MB to see if the crashes stop and knock on wood, they have for now.
