  • Cannot see the usb device manager devices or windows Explorer.

    I use windows 7 64-bit. I have a certain external drives connected vis USB everything works OK when lit.

    I have a video camera Digital Sony connected to usb, which gives a 'bong' sound to indicate that it is connected, but I do not see in windows Explorer or disk management. The camera itself acknowledges that it has been connected to my PC OK. I tried the camera using usb different positions, still no visibility? Help, please!

    Have you selected the right mode of the camera for connectivity? For example, the PictBridge and mass storage mode are usually present in a camera. If not select any mode, Windows shows a device is connected, but it cannot access anything whatsoever to the camera.

    Also, have you tried to change the cable?
  • Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do?

    Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do? Reset email is never sent. This master password"... How do you define? I'm locked out of Thunderbird. Help

    Maybe he's trying reset Pasword Thunderbird Master as I'm doing? I copy the code and paset in the console tools\error and press Evaluate. I wonder if I want to reset the Master PW and I say yes, then I get a saying that the Master PW has been reset. Maybe he's looking for an e-mail to tell him that the IPL has been rest to? But the problem is, nothing happens when the password has been reset, msg is sent. TB continues to request the password. I have not changed my PW and when I enter the good PW, TB does not recognize. And reset the PW Master does nothing but generate Pop up messages. It's very frustrating. The information in the help files are not accurate, or the code provided does not work although it generates messages indicating that the IPL has been reset.

    (Even once - keep the * first conversation * going.)  Written on it.  Show how this conversation continues spreading around.)

    BTW - my suggestion has not changed.  I still think that you get just around issues that still exist, probably, by fixing the little things you need at a given time.

    Backup important files/folders (for you) (including documents, photos, music, Favorites, Internet favorites, files installable application, serial numbers, product keys, spreadsheets, you saved to the desktop email, etc.) and wipe the disc completely - I'd even a zero writing on the disc (formatting) before installing the operating system from the original installation media.  Then install your applications and restore your files.

    As to what they were asked to do... Always seems that you saved the file as a *. TXT file and not a *. REG or there is much more wrong with your machine (see my suggestion above.)

    Visit this web page to look at the photo on the left (a first) to see the screenshot of the possible is the desktop icons and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

    To check if you saved incorrectly or if there is something wrong with your system (or two) - right click on the file you saved and choose 'Properties' from the menu you get.  Under the 'Général' tab, she said, "file Type: registration entries (.reg)" and "opens with: Registry Editor" or something similar?  Visit this web page to look at the picture on the right (second) to see the screenshot of the possible look at the windows of the property and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

    A few old machines will not recognize a USB keyboard/mouse until after Windows starts.  Look at the back of your computer and see if you have a PS/2 (round) connector for a keyboard and a mouse.  If you do, then you will need to use a keyboard with a round PS/2 connector or a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and plug the PS/2 connector on the back of your computer so that it recognizes the keyboard until Windows starts on your keyboard.

    The SATA driver applies to your hard drive.  A CD of start-up/installation of Windows XP does not recognize a SATA hard drive.  If you install Windows, you will need to hit F6 at the right time and insert a floppy with the SATA driver on this subject.

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

  • I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail.

    I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail. I worked around it through another proxy server, but navigation is a pain. does anyone know a solution to this problem? Roadrunner denies that it doesn't clog and so did the modem service here which is telmex?

    [moved]

    I had the same problem 2 weeks while in the Mexico.  I contacted the support TWC and the person to whom I spoke said he had to unlock something.  When he did, all my mail came in Outlook in the spam folder.  It was OK because I got my mail.

    I moved to a different House and now have the same problem again.  I've contacted support TWC and not had much luck. The second level support person and I spent more than an hour, the call of the Mexico using Vontage.  He has not found anything by the previous call that guided him by setting this time.  He said that he would open a ticket and call me in the next 24 to 48 hours.

    Is it reminds and solves the problem, I'll post how it was corrected.

    Ran across the following error in the log of alerts for a the 2 node RAC database:

    Looked in MOS and found nothing.  Has anyone go through this before?  If so, what is the cause?

    Just received a resolution of Support from Oracle.  They said that this is a benign error and can be ignored.  Here is their answer to my SR:

    OK, after reviewing all that there seems to be no problem to fix. All configurations are correct. We believe that these errors are benign and can be ignored.

    -L' ASM instance is online.

    -The Diskgroup: + XXXXXX_SYSTEM is mounted and has the physical and logical of 512 bytes sector size.

    -No error message in the alerts ASM journal.

    In light of the facts above, the message "ERROR: could not get the size of the logical block for spfile" seems benign and can be ignored.

    However, to avoid these messages, as a workaround, you can try creating the spfile pfile '+ XXXXXX_SYSTEM/XXXXXX/spfileXXXXXX.ora' and then try to create spfile diskgroup + XXXXXX_SYSTEM using this file pfile.
