I used the information in windows help, but nothing happened.
You should be able to drag and drop files. I have an external hard drive and do it all the time.

Centro not sync-ing for Win XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3
My new Palm Centro can't synchronize Palm Desktop running on Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3. The Palm "getting started" Troubleshooting (very polite and free) told me I could go back to Service Pack 2, or upgrade to Vista. There is a kind of incompatibilities between SP3 and current HotSync Manager. I'm going to buy a Mac before I go to Vista, and do move back is unattractive. Anyone know of another work around?
The problem was that Agendus 4.31 does not work with Palm Desktop 6.x. You must upgrade to a newer Agendus. After some research by me and iambic, the manufacturers of Agendus, we discovered that I was given bad advice about the compatibility of the Agendus older and latest Palm Desktop. Once I bought and installed an upgrade, things started working properly.

Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3
Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind rgds
Hello Maver1ck63,
Thank you for your message. You have the jumpers physics master/slave accordingly? Otherwise, the value OS hard drive (Maxtor) to the master and your Hitachi to the slave. After a reboot, your system recognizes this drive in 'my computer '? If so, can you right click and format the drive? (Keep in mind, the formatting will erase all data on the disk, you will need to back up any important information before formatting). If you cannot access or recognize this drive:Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.Click on "disk management".Do you think your player, you can get in shape from here (or assign a drive letter if it is not recognized in my computer)?Please let us know the result.See you soonEngineer Jason Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.
How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?
Thanks, Ben
Run this Alureon is a rootkit . This can restore windowsupdate, once he removes the rootkit

Since SP2 was installed I had travel problems, copy, delete and rename files. When I do all this the appropriate box opens, but it will remain open and the computer will not respond. The only way to solve the problem is to use the Task Manager to end the task.
I'm running a processor 2.33 GHZ of intel with 23 GB of ram and a 500 GB with 310 GB of free disc.
https://support.Microsoft.com/OAS/default.aspx?PRID=13014&Gprid=582034&St=1
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for SP2 is valid until August 30, 2010.

I bought the laptop to a pawn shop and waiting for a few minor problems, but not this one.
It began with the webcam doesn't work does not correctly, but works. After Device Manager running that it has detected a Xerox Pro scanner, not built in webcam which i see in front of me. I tried everything with no success, but this isn't the only problem there is... more
After I realized that the cam is not working, all 3 USB ports leaving recognize anything and all the devices connected by a mouse flexible wireless microphone on a memory stick 4 GB, could not be recognized. All were then tested in two other PC with these things being recognized and installed on the PC.
I have updated after him saying driver not installed, only to be told driver is already up-to-date, but will still not be recognized.
Now the CD/DVD does not work and is not even detected in scan. says the drivers are not present or that is disconnected. I did nothing else than to go in circles are doing the same thing over and over again.
Is there a worm or bug or something wrong freeking I know and how do I solve this problem?
I like most of the features of vista, but if it's the doo doo a bit I have to put up with... I want XP less back pain...
Once again can not locate or install programs or drivers to operate the integrated webcam
All USB ports defective 3 and CD/DVD is no longer functional or even detected in laptop... HELP ME PLEASE
Hi Laurent,.
1. did uninstall you the USB ports on the Device Manager and reinstalled as mentioned in the previous post?

Uninstall all USB device manager entries and check.

b. expand Bus USB controllers.
Note: You will need to scroll down to find this point.
c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.
d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.
e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.
f. check the USB device to see if it works
2. have you tried to uninstall the webcam?
If this is not the case, try to uninstall the webcam in Device Manager and install the latest version of the drivers from the following Acer site.
On the problem of DVD player, you can try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.

OK, I know that this may be simple for most, but I have an of a moment _ this find. As I said legal copy that has been saved... I backed up all my files on DVD, I don't care if I lose all the programs that I can always download them later. Basically I want is that it was when I brought home the first time. I searched high and low for the original disc of Vista but no luck. I do not have people upgrade at any time, but I was not able to find a definitive answer about it online. Not too complicate it again but I have 4 GB of ram and processor can run 64-bit, and I have 32-bit curently I'm sure you know where I'm going with that. I know a little about how to do it, but want reasurance and direction from someone who knows hit safe and ready to help. Any person who get end to this nightmare for me will be really appreciated.
Shaun
Contact the manufacturer to obtain a set of recovery discs original (for a fee) and use them to make the initial installation. Activate it. Then you can do the upgrade and activate that. You must install the original operating system in order to install the upgrade. If you are going from 32 bits to 64 bits that cannot be done with an upgrade - which requires complete and clean installation.
Here is the Microsoft policy on replacement software; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

This CD is the 'Windows XP' CD? What he should say about it? How CD supplied with Windows XP (my computer is probably 4 years old). I need to install the backup feature in Windows XP. I cannot find a single CD only and not know if it is right - it's the reinstallation CD. I don't want to reinstall windows XP. I want to just install the backup feature.
Hi AlexandraCALIF,
Thanks for posting. The XP CD that the system is referring to is your XP (maybe not the reinstallation CD) installation CD. I would test of the first reinstallation CD to see if it has components which seeks the system. If it isn't you need to contact your manufacturer and get a CD of the OS on their part.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.
