So I've been messing around with varrious drivers to try and get "RAGE" working and to make this tumultuous process more agravating I've somehow inadvertently uninstalled my USB drivers as well. This wouldn't be an issue, except that my computer has no PS2 ports. long version: I used "GPU...

I keep an Outlook data file on my external HDD that I carry between work and home. How do I get it to stop downloading emails twice!? I have three accounts; a Gmail account (which doesn't have this problem), a work account that uses SmarterMail and another account that's set up through Windows...

At the moment I'm putting my vast DVD collection onto an external HDD (around 600 DVDS) using DVDFab. You know the drills , remove all the crappy ads , copyright warnings and the rest of the junk. I just want the films and nothing else. So, what's the best option for me ? Buy a "media player"...

I am running Windows 7, and I connect several external HDDs via a USB hub, leading to the PC on a single USB cable. I have recently installed Windows, and from the start, I have had problems ejecting the media. Here is how it goes: I plug in the disks, they are all functioning, they show up and...

Hi, I hope I picked the right forum category. I'm not computer literate so when my 14 month old PC running Windows 7 Home Premium failed to restart I took it to Staples for a recovery installation. Since bringing it home I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials, then downloaded PC...

I have a 1 Tb external SATA HDD in a powered enclosure. Connection is by USB or eSATA. Win 7 disk management recognises the existence of the disk as basic online but thinks it is only 8 Gb. The disk does not appear in 'My Computer' and I cannot format it as a 1Tb disk or write to it...

Hey guys, I'm so frustrated right now! These problems have been occurring since a month. I can't read any DVDs/CDs via DVD-ROM. My computer won't pick up any external-HDD, USB flash drives, nothing. This has been pissing me off since a month and I finally considered of reinstalling the Windows...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem here which is driving me INSANE. All of my Removable Storage Devices (Flash drives, External HDD) do not work with my Windows 7. When I connect them, I hear the beeps but the device sometimes show up, sometimes not and sometimes they appear after a long...

Hi, Well, when I copy files on my external HDD, it's going fast, until the 1st file is done, after the 1st file, it doesn't really freeze, but stops for like 4-6 secs, and then it suddenly moves on again, with low transfer speed which increases. This happens for each file e.g. Copying...

I am getting a Blue Screen error 5 to 10 minutes into a game, and this has occured with all the games I have tried thus far. I usually dont even try and diagnose the problem, I will usually ( I have gotten bluescreen on other PCs ) just perform a hard drive format and system restore, because all...

I have tried googling and self-solving this issue to no end. My Computer has several BSOD issues that while showing different symptoms all seem to come from the same problem in my opinion. This freeze tends to happen once every few days. I run/leave the PC on an average of 10 hours a day...

Hi all, I've recently been having problems with BlueScreen errors on my Windows 7 x64 system. The system itself is brand-new, being less than 3 months old. My first one came up randomly and was listed as MEMORY_ERROR. I've ran Window's memory test, as well as memtest, and those results...

Hello everyone, so yeah I'd need a little help with BSOD I am getting. I get it during the very beginning of boot (every time) and when trying to enter safe mode, I get the same BSOD after classpnp.sys is loaded. When running the repair console, I get the message that the problem cannot be...

Hi there, I did a search on google and through these forums search function but all I can seem to find are topics about vista and backing up problems, and a few things about install problems. I did find a link to a microsoft hotfix for my problem, but it was only for specifically 4GB+ of Ram...
