  Hello

  USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
  It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
  either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
  If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
  possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
  identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.

  1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
  Restart the computer to see if it clears.

  2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.

  3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
  online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask questions in their forums on all known
  questions. Update the Bios and chipset or other USB drivers.

  I have installed autodesk inventor 9, 2002, and it is not working properly it gives an error that there is a problem of compatiability.  Is there something I can do to correct the problem of compatiablity?

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on setup.exe O run as admin.

  See you soon.

• Easy Transfer Wizard error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings. The download file size is 40 GB and I have a C: drive that says he has 280 GB free and a D: drive has 298 GB free.

  I made a successful backup of the Easy Transfer of files on an external hard drive.  Previously, this computer was in Vista for more than 1 year without any problem.

  After you perform a custom installation (I wanted to start with a clean install) of Win7, everything works.  I installed the Windows/Office updates and all my other program files.  When I run the transfer Assistant, it locates the 'old computer' transfer file and reads OK, showing users and the size of the 40.1 GB file transfer.  When I click the button forward, I get error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.  However, I have more than 280 GB free on my C: drive.

  This disc is watching him and what should I do to work around this problem.  If I can't get my files/settings back, I'll be VERY unhappy customer.

  I've just passed through even - WET previous Dell PC running Windows 7 Ultimate to HP with Windows 7 Home Premium. The Belkin Easy Transfer cable help.
  WET said not enough space even if the hard drive is twice the size.
  I clicked on "Advanced" and noticed that WET strives also transfer Dell factory image from the recovery partition and the HP recovery partition was smaller.
  I unticked (unchecked) files recovery partitio on old computer and everything is going very well from hand to hand.
  Hope that helps!

• Add ESX server assessment to VC with error: there is not enough license installed to run the operation.

  Hi all:

  I added two esx servers in my vc received the error: there is not enough licnese installed to run the operation.

  There are some servers esx with correct license file in VI3.5U3 in my environment. I want to add more than two servers esx with evaluation mode in this virtual Center. I got error.

  connection to the esx server directly without vc, to feature license tab, I selected evaluation mode is ok. but I can't added these in vc. Why?

  can someone help out me.

  Thank you very much.

  hihiy

  I don't think you can, you need to turn your TC to eval too, and before we do, your VC should not exceeded calclation eval of 60 days from the first day, it has been installed.

  BTW, since you have valid VC 2.5 license, and is not the Foundation of VC, why don't you showing your ESX with eval license server to license? Add then the two ESX to your existing VC?
