Windows Xp is my OS. I bought my transcend 2 GB pendrive 2 weeks back and for 3 days it worked fine in my PC but after that its not being recognised. Msg appears as"USB hardware not recognised". But other PCs are capable of finding it and I can transfer the data efficiently. There are no viruses/trojans inside my pendrive as per my knowledge. What could be the possible reason for this and how will I get that drive working in my PC? Is it the problem with my Pendrive or the USB port of my system?

Im new with using RAID for my pc so please bear with me.

In an event of a hard drive failure running RAID level 1 which I believe is mirroring. How can I recover from the loss? Like, If one fails, I have a copy at the second drive. Right? Then How can I install a new drive to replace the failed hard drive? Should I just pop it in and that should "mirror" by itself or will I need a software that will clone the working hard drive unto the new hard drive then reinstall the RAID Array.

I've reinstalled the OS on my notebook (HD failure), no longer have the original recovery discs and cannot find the drivers on the sony site.
Main issue is that the Function keys no longer work (the way Sony has implemented this in Vaio) without HKServ application. I will require the Shared Library in order to resolve the issue...problem is, I cannot find the drivers to download and not looking to spend 25$ for drivers that should be avail for free. Machine model is PCG-GRX5P

I bought a gainward 7600GT card and checked my motherboard's manual to make sure it has a PCIe slot and not just AGP or PCI. I have a Dell 3100 the m/board model is 82915G/Gv/910GL.
The documents with the video card said to beware because "some m/boards violate specifications" and so the card may not physically fit.

This sounds ridiculous to me and I can't believe there is not a universal PCIe slot. My motherboard's looks like ---- --- but the card looks like ----- (if that makes sense).

Can someone explain this? I just don't get it are Dell just being really annoying?

weeks ago my brother's desktop would turn off by itself, if it was left turned on over night in the morning it would be turned off. some time later windows automatic update told me i had some stuff 2 install, i kept canceling everytime it prompted bcuz i didn't like what it was going to install, eventually something ended up installing itself and i would get the 'ur comp will shut down in 5 mins' msg, 1 of those times i was away from the computer for more than 5 mins the computer had rebooted, i don't even know what got installed after all. after that install, @ random times i'd hear something clicking INSIDE the computer tower, it'd b a single click and then everything'd freeze 4 a couple seconds and then go back 2 normal. i ran antivirus/antispy and all that stuff, but nothing came up, so i ignored it. one night we left the comp on over night and the next morning got "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key"

i am thinking about building my own pc so i have a question.
Putting everything together is fine with me, but i need to know if this is hard, because the motherboard is going to have no graphics card, but i am going to install that does the pc need software for the graphics card first or do you install the os first?

it kinda looks funny, when i use my widescreen monitor, i am trying my best to adjust to it. but with the technological advances i am kinda not happy with it. i should have bought a normal 19" instead of a wide 19"

do you have any suggestions on how to use it effectively...


one more fact... i like my windows xp... but when i try it on my widescreen, it kinda feels weird with all those small icons its very difficult to use... any suggestions on how to handle such situations?

I want to buy a laptop and I am choosing between Fujitsu Lifebook A6030 and HP tx 1215 tablet PC. Each one has its own pros and cons but which one do you think is more durable and stronger?
I heard HP gets hot under lots of usage but this HP model has AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60(2.0), would it have the same problem?
Is the tablet function performing well?

I need a laptop that suits my budget around 30K or 35K . I would be using it mainly for programming and a little entertainment. I dont have much idea of the performance ratios between brands. Please suggest one. I've checked out Dell,Hp and Acer and cant decide what would suit.
