For some reason, my computer crashed a few weeks ago. I have an ATI graphics card that I installed again. After installing the drivers, my computer is saying that there are 5 "unknown devices" on my PC at location ATI graphics card. Every time I reboot my computer, it tries to install these devices (each of the five in turn) and each time the drivers are never found. Then, it flashes the message that there is a problem installing the hardware. I have tried reinstalling the drivers a few times, but nothing seems to fix the problem. Everything on the card seems to work correctly, but it is an annoyance to cancel all five of these installations every time I start my PC. Does anyone have an answer?

I just don't get it. I was not trying to make a network, just wanted to see if my laptop could replace my desktop in case of sudden desktop failure(it's getting old). When I did it, I couldn't get the laptop online. What was I doing wrong? It's a cable connection.

What I mean is that how do you change the action that happens when you plug in an removable device (i.e. USB).

I use WinXP MCE2005

Example:

When I first inserted my USB into my computer, I accidently chose to open the files whenever I plug it in. Now I want it to do nothing when I plug it in. So how can I change that?

I have a large collection of music on my desktop computer (about 50 to 60 GB )

i used ot have it in a folder in my documents, under files stored on this computer, on the My Computer menu.

But i recently moved it to local disk (C:) under Hard Disk Drives.

Since i've moved it things seem kinda slower and the computer doesn't seem to run as fast and smoothly as before, but maybe it's just a coincidence.

Does where I store my music have any effect on the computer? and if so, where's the best place to keep it.

Thank you in advance, I'm not to bright when it come to computers and appreciate the help.

I can't reinstall windows - error msg on blue screen says I haven't terminated scsi devices. Does a Dell XPS have and "scsi device?" I've never done any modifications (never been "under the hood." As far as peripherals: nothing unordinary - external firewire drive, printer... that's about it? How do I find this scsi device (that I didn't even know I had), and then how do I "properly terminate" it? Please help!
