it seems like one of the people you sent that card to corrupted it. Honestly I really haven't found a good recovery software that does what it says so if I were you I would just scan the photos format the memo card and move on with life

why not take it back to where you purchased it so they can either fix it or give you a new machine? I mean you just bought it yesterday you should still have so type of warranty on it

i guess this is a dumb question but do you have internet service?
have you tried firefox or google chrome? When was the last time it worked

What operating system do you use e.g windows 7 32 bits or 64 bits?

which empty icon are you talking about ? i dont know an empty icon

how you remove the drive from a pc do you just pull it out or you eject it via the notification bar ?

and have your tried it on different computers?

use another computer to download mozilla firefox or google chrome and install it on your computer. that way you uninstall the internet explorer on your computer and reinstall it. Or you can check to see if your browser (explorer) has been set to using a proxy when it doesn't need one or if it needs one you can find the right info for the proxy. there are so many ways it can malfunction, but an easy fix could be to have a different browser like firefox and then you can uninstall and reinstall

Or it could be winSock problem. Download this fix http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/WinSockFix-Download-15337.html

You can use another pc to download and save it on a flash drive. It would resolve the tcp/ip issues.

it is probably a permissions issue
go to calendar on outlook - right click on the calendar you want to share - click properties - click permissions tab - click the add button - Add the person's name as it shows on your network - give em either full control or add the permissions you want to give them. click ok

right at the bottom of the lists of calendars there is "share my calendar" written probably in blue fonts - click on that and an email looking window should open up, put the person's email address in there (network email) make sure "allow recipient to view your calendar" is checked then hit send.

When that person gets the notification they should be able to see your calendar

try starting your computer in safe mode to see if things work in safe mode.

when you say crashed, what do you mean? is it booting, do you get blue screen etc

if you have a desktop, you can remove the hard drive and put in in another desktops second connector to move your files
if you have a laptop you can buy a universal hard drive adapter and use it to connect the hard drive to another computer and move your files

click start, my computer, view system information

device manager and click the + next to cd/dvd drive and
tell what it says underneath.

if you see something there right click on it and uninstall restart your
computer then wait for found new hardware message to come up.

If there's nothing underneath the+ sign then lets us know.
