ComputersRe: Help My Toshiba Camera Is Not Working by TmeD0(m): 7:29pm On May 15, 2008
@poster, did it come with the driver's cd?  If so, uninstall it and reinstall it using the CD.  Also, if you don't have the CD, try Toshiba's site to see if you can get the driver for the cam.  You said you upgraded to Vista Premium; I'm assuming you didn't do a clean install but rather using an upgrade cd right?  Ok, here's my question, how long ago did you perform the upgrade?  If not too long, chances are you can revert back to Vista basic so you can use your cam while you find compatible driver for the premium.  Try and restore your OS back to basic cause more than likely a restore point should have been created by Vista prior to the upgrade.  Give it a shot and good luck.  Peace!

I feel like I just read a tutorial written in french . . . undecided
Basically what the PCMCIA to PCI adapter does is allow you to be able to use your PCMCIA card on your desktop.  If you already own a notebook, you don't need the adapter---all you need is the PCMCIA card.  Depending how you're conecting (wired or wireless), the PCMCIA card you will purchase will be different.  There are some for wireless connection and some for wired connections including modem (why anyone want to bother buy that beats me). 
ComputersRe: My Hp Compaq Desktop, Pls Help: by TmeD0(m): 4:47pm On May 14, 2008
Suprman, like I stated earlier, did you make any changes to those two desktops prior to this happening?  If so, what was it that you might have done differently to these two PCs?  Have you tried connecting the PCs to a functional monitor to test them?  Like Inze stated, check to make sure everything is connected properly, i.e. power supply.  Also make sure your video card, RAM, LAN card and so on are properly seated.  Remove them and reinsert them just to make sure.  You can also check for dust in the PSU's fan, underneath your video card, RAM and so on.  Just for the heck of it, remove unimportant H/W like CD-Rom, USB-connected peripherals (i.e. printer, flash drive, scanner), LAN card and try to boot with just the video card, RAM and processor.  If removing these devices causes it to boot up, then you know one or some of them is the culprit.  You'll have to use the process of elimination to find out which one it is.  I'm having a feeling this might have to do with a recent change in H/W or S/W on both machines but I might be wrong.  If you could provide a detailed information on the issue, it would be very helpful.  Peace!

I just want to say thanks to you. I was able to do just as you said and with other info i got from another forum, i finally got the Lan port working again. i used the Broadcom 570x Gigabite Integrated Controller, right now am just getting all other application back into the system.
@House!!!
There is one other thing i forgot to ask yesterday. We have been trying to see if we can recover files/data stored in the crashed Hard Drive, all to no avail, is there anyway you guys can be of help. My man wants some of those info badly, though we told him the info have all gone and he has the believe in us that we can still do something to get them back. HELP HELP HELP IF ANY!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear your LAN connection is finally restored. Pertainng the other issue you raised, when you said you've tried to restore the data from the HD that crashed, what exactly have you done. For instance, did you try to set it as a slave drive in another PC that's fully functional? Let us know what you've done so far to retrieve the data from the crashed HD. Peace!

anyway it has all been said

what antivirus are you using?

how often do you update it? - if you don't have an intern connection, you can download updates for every antivirus( with the exception of NOD32) from majorgeeks.com . they regularly provide links to the latest updates for kaspersky, norton, bitdefender, mcafee, f secure, adaware, spybot, etal
huh  I'm just curious to know how that's done without an internet connection sir.  Did you mean using another PC with an internet connection and saving the definition file on a flash drive or floppy?  If that's the case, you still need an internet connection to do that sir.  Peace!

ComputersRe: Dell Inspiron 600m Ethernet Controller/lan Driver by TmeD0(m): 6:14pm On May 13, 2008
If it's the same Dell's site I checked you checked, you would have found two different drivers for your integrated Ethernet card.  One is Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller and the other one is Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller.  I'd bet my last buck the first is the right driver but hey it won't hurt to try both.  However, I'd suggest creating a restore point before doing the trial/error driver thing.  In future, use this free pc audit tool to gather your H/W and S/W information for records purpose.  You can always run the application again each time you make H/W changes---will save you a lot of time trying to figure out what drivers you need for your H/W.  Good luck.  Peace!

How far do they go when you try to boot?  Do they get as far as running a memory check (depending on your mobo manufacturer) or their screens are just blank (black screen).  Also, did you make any changes i.e. install an application on those two desktops recently?  If the power led and HD activity led are on and the screen is just blank, have you checked your monitors' power and vga connections?  Trust me, little things like that mean a lot.  Provide additional information and we can go from there.

Sky-walker:
I just bought a new game pad for a laptop using windows vista and the windows not recognising the device.T[b]he software that came with it its not working.[/b]I need help on this

Is there any driver that can drive any type of controller for vista.I tried the controller on windows XP system and its detects it automatically.
Any one with ideas on how to solve this problem
The software is not working because the driver don't seem to be compatible with Vista.  There's really nothing you can do now but either 1) Return the gamepad and find one that's compatible with Vista  2) If you're bent on using the particular game pad and Vista, then wait till the vendors of your gamepad come out with a Vista compatible driver.  However, if it says on the gamepad box that it's Vista-compatible, then you probably want to install the software that came with it first before plugging the gamepad into the USB port (the manual should let you know what sequence to go by).  On the other hand, you can just downgrade to XP and enjoy ya gamepad grin   Peace!

ComputersRe: My Laptops Battery Is Jst 10mins.battery Probs/virus Probs Which One Is It? by TmeD0(m): 4:09pm On May 12, 2008
oyb:
for ANY item that uses a rechargeable battery, you MUST disconnect the battery if you are not going to use the item for more than a week. otherwise, the battery will discharge.

i think the dirty power supply from mPHCN( complete with voltage fluctuations, surges and spikes is also responsible )

as you've been advised, buy a new battery.
@poster, oyb is absolutely right about that.  That could be a reason you're experiencing the battery issue.  What I'd suggest you do at this point before opting for a new battery, is to caliberate it.  Notebook batteries should be caliberated at least after every 3 months of usage.  Some notebooks have built-in utility that you can access via BIOS during boot process while most don't.  The easiest way to caliberate it is to let it completely discharge while you're using the battery; however, do save your work as you go but I'd suggest not work on any important doc once it reaches 9%.  You can surf the web till it's completely discharged and charge it to 100% and discharge it again the second time.  Recharge it to 100% again and see how long it'll last after that.  If it lasts less than at least 2 hours, then take oyb's advice and the other posters that suggested getting a new battery.

davidt:
Laptop is slow - Most likely virus problems, get a good antivirus and carry out a full system scan.
Battery life is not more than ten minutes - Battery is used out, get a new battery.

I think it is that simple.
You are probably right but I would explore other possibilities too.  For instance, the slowless could be caused by a badly fragmented HD, which in this case a good defragmenting utility (free) like Defraggler or Auslogics Disk Defrag should take care of that.  On the other hand, it won't hurt to update your A/V, A/S software and run a complete scan in safe mode.  Oh, by the way, you're better off running a defrag in safe mode as well because in active mode some of the files that might be fragmented might be in use.  Peace!

Oga gongo aso, which is which?  How you expect people to help you when you dey confuse not only us but yaself now?  Did you really format the notebook's HD or is it a brand new notebook with a broken webcam CD that contains the drivers?  If it's the latter, then you need to test the webcam first and not assume it's not working before you start looking for a driver.  Then use a PC auditing tool to gather your H/W configurations and go look for the driver based on the name and model of your webcam.  Peace!

Try netstumbler

NetStumbler is a tool for Windows that allows you to detect Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLANs) using 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g.
It has many uses:
• Verify that your network is set up the way you intended.
• Find locations with poor coverage in your WLAN.
• Detect other networks that may be causing interference on
your network.
• Detect unauthorized "rogue" access points in your workplace.
• Help aim directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links.
• Use it recreationally for WarDriving.[sub][/sub]

Download from www.netstumbler.com
Netstumbler will only do what it's listed to do but will not necessarily provide you the wep key or whatever form of encryption is in use.  I believe that's what the poster would like to be able to.  I will want to know why I can't utilize the service I'm being compelled to pay for first before trying to bypass the network security, which could land me in deep dump if caught.   Take am easy o.  Peace!
ComputersRe: Acer Digital Camera Help! by TmeD0(m): 10:08pm On May 09, 2008
uspry1:
If you just bought your Acer Digital Camera for the first time, you suppose to follow reading the user manual book telling you that you need to RECHARGE THE DIGITAL CAMERA BATTERY between 4 hours to 12 hours BEFORE START TO USE.

For example your digital camera can hold only 12 hours using its battery WITHOUT USING RECHARGE CORD. . .IT MEANS 12 HOURS you can use BEFORE IT WILL PROMPT warning you the low battery. TIME FOR RECHARGE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA BATTERY another 4 hours.

Also if you are upload your digital camera into your computer/laptop, you still need AC charger cord, not digital camera battery. The battery will drain your uploading charge!!!

Same way you drive your car with a low gas gauge PROMPT TELLING YOU that you have low gas, TIME FOR FILL UP GAS!


That is what digital camera battery is all about- - -RECHARGE IT after you use digital camera or upload them.
I believe the poster was talking about alkaline batteries not an NiMH battery---don't think all these analogies and yelling were necessary. 

@poster,  try the rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries.  You'd probably save some money buying the ones that are pre-packaged with the charger.   Look for ones with high capacity between 2500mAh - 2700mAh.  On the other hand, if the alkaline batteries are the affordable ones for you, try get brands like Duracell or Energizer.   If you're going to be using your alkaline batteries, you might consider using the viewfinder instead of the LCD on the camera when taking a picture---saves you some charge on the battery.  Good luck.  Peace!

can anyone tell me what is causing this on my laptop. When i connect to the internet on my laptop and decided to visit a webapge, after typing in the webpage and clicking enter or the good button. My laptop would hang and after 2 minutes of or more or less after staying hung, the page will start. This happens anytime i click the webpage. Does anyone knows what the problem may be? My laptop is an ibm thinkpad, p3, t23.
There could be several reasons for that but the must obvious one is probably your connection speed (I'm guessing).  Now, in order to help you additional information from you is a start.  For instance, does the notebook hang on every site visited or a particular site?  Does it hang even when you're not online i.e. just running an app say word processor or graphics?  If it's only happening while you're online and on every site, you probably want to clear your cached files like someone suggested.  Similarly, if it's hanging regardless of what you're doing, your hard drive might be badly fragmented.  Like I stated earlier, providing additional information would help in finding a solution for the problem.  Peace!

It's wrong to suggest using the restore CD and having to re-download gigabytes of windows updates just because of a silly webcam driver. Use the free software known as "astra32" to find out the model of your webcam and go to the manufacturer's website to download the driver. Or better still, post the model of your webcam here and we'll help you find he driver.
No, it's not wrong suggesting using a restore CD if the poster is bent on having the webcam working and especially if the name and model of the webcam in question is unknown.  Given the limited information provided by the poster, it's an alternative solution if not the only one at this point.  If you noticed, I stated that knowing the actual name and model of the webcam will help obtaining the driver for it.  In additon, I did suggest trying to find the driver online via device manager provided Windows recognizes the hardware.  Oh, by the way, astra32 is not free as you stated (free to download though) but Belarc Advisor is free and not only gives a detailed information about your hardware configuration but your software as well.  Just thought I'd let you know.  Peace!

Question: Did your notebook come with a Restore CD?  If the answer is yes, your chances of getting your webcam to work is restoring your notebook back to the factory settings.  On the other hand, if the answer is no, then I'm afraid you have a lot of digging to do.  If you can get the exact name and model of the built-in webcam, that would be a good start to help you.  Also, does Windows recognize it in device manager with an exclamation?  If so, try to search for an update online by right-clicking the device shown and select the update driver option.  Good luck.  Peace!
