Support for Targus TGR-CRD25 Mutli Flash Reader USB Device
by Guest wlp@tirebiter.com- 0 replies

For some reason the default XP Pro plug-and-play driver for the Targus TGR-CRD25 "Mutli Flash Reader USB Device" will not read CompactFlash cards of 1GB size. It reads CompactfFlash 64 MB just fine. Is there come fix I can make on the XP Pro side to fix this? Perhaps some registry tweak? wlp@tirebiter.com

Service Executable doesn't start

The OS offers to send a message to Micro$oft before I can get online. Not having Service Executable working doesn't seem to harm anything. What is it, and why does it fail to start about once every two months. Thanks.

Vista WMDC Sync Center stopped syncing to my Smartphone
by Guest David Blakeley- 0 replies
- 185 views
I'm running Vista Premium on a self-built system with Office 2007. My (Formerly) Cingular 2125 synced with no problems for about 2 weeks. Yesterday I started getting this message: ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop. on the device I get error code 85010014. I can't find any useful information on how to resolve this problem. I've run scanpst, I've removed and reinstalled the partnership. I read somewhere that Itunes might be implicated so I removed that. I use this capability every day and it's maddening that it doesn't work and I can't even get pointed at a cause.

- 107 views
When I restart my computer I get the message new hardward found. However it will not install. It is on my updates (custom) however I can't seem to install from there either. It keeps failing. This has happened with a few of my updates. I have tried a few of the "solutions" already posted but nothing seems to work. The only thing different done to my computer was the floppy drive had been disconnected at one point and I just had that fixed. Thanks

Copy and paste
by Guest zazu- 0 replies
- 74 views
I have a random problem in that periodically copy and paste function is not available - menus greyed out. Only solution is to reboot pc. This problem occurs accross all aplications but is particularly noticeable in Access. When I try to open the clipboard (when copy/ paste not available) the hourglass shimmers for ever and I have to close it using CTRL+ALT+DEL. So I can't see what the last action was. My PC is uptodate with all the microsoft updates and my virus and spyware is up todate as well.

RE: XP or Vista on New PC?

That is a loaded question ... my theory was that it's better to get it factory installed than to upgrade, so with that in mind I got a brand new tricked out HP laptop and brand new tricked out HP desktop, custom built, with Vista Ultimate. There are serious known issues if you want to try and connect via a network with a computer not running Vista (even XP). I had to buy NetworkMagic.com to be able to connect everything properly. Also be aware that there are several software conflicts with Vista, so you may need to purchase an upgrade for software to work on your Vista computer .... for sure Quickbooks, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, et al), and lots of t…

Task scheduler won't run task from hibernate
by Guest Nick Henderson- 0 replies
- 194 views
I can't get any task to run from hibernate mode. It will wake the machine up, then just sit there. Sometimes the task history shows me the task has completed. Other times, it moves the task to the next scheduled time. I have tried selecting the option to run missed tasks as soon as possible, but that doesn't help. The odd thing is it will run tasks from standby mode with no problem.
