When I connect my ipod Touch to any of my USB ports the hardware wizard loads telling me it's found new hardware before asking to install the software, when clicking through to allow this to run the wizard it comes up with the error cannot install this hardware. The iPod does not show up on the computer and does not even charge when plugged in to the usb.

I want to migrate data from my old computer (98) to my new computer (XP) via serial cable. To do that I need to create a "Wizard Disk" for my old computer. I'm trying to use "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" on my new computer to create the Wizard CD, but that program doesn't recognize my CD-RW/DVD drive (E. The dropdown list used to select the output device includes choices for only F, G, H, and I, my 8-in-1 media drives. How can I
get it to write to my CD on drive E?
Although I have a mouse with my laptop, I sometimes just use the touch pad if I'm not going to be on very long. With the touch pad being, well, touchy, I experimented with keystrokes.I found that the laptop (with XP Home) will shut down if I press "Alt+F4" keys, then the "U" key for shut down. I tried it on my desktop (with XP Pro) and it worked there too.If it doesn't seem to work, click somewhere on the desktop and try again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding my PC and some problems that I have been experiencing, which I think are related to my power supply.
First off, my PC will not recognize my iPod Shuffle. When I first purchased the Shuffle, everything worked fine, however one day when I went to plug it into my USB port, nothing happened and the orange light on the iPod flashed. I tried all the USB ports, including the ones on the back of the machine to no avail. This is not a problem on other people's machines, where XP is able to recognize the external device.
Also, whenever I go to shut down my computer, the light on the front of the tower is on and the fan is running. It is like the computer is not even shut down. I have to manually turn off the power strip everytime I want to shut my computer off. Also, "Stand by" is not an option on the XP menu.
I've been told this is a power supply issue. Anyone have any other ideas?
I have two computers (a PC and a Mac) and a Maxtor One Touch External Hard disk 250 GB. I would like to back up these two machines using a single external hard disk. So I have partitioned the hard disk into two and have NTFS and FAT32 as the file systems. The NTFS partition is around 163 GB and the FAT32 is around 75GB. I could successfully back up the PC into the NTFS part but have problems with the Mac.
When the hard disk is mounted on to the Mac, both the partitions appear on the desktop. The Mac OS is 10.3 and it identifies both partition correctly. It recognises the NTFS part as readonly and FAT32 part as "readable and writable". But when I tried to backup for the first time there was an error saying "insert a new disk". I tried to overwrite the contents of the FAT32 part as I didn’t need them any longer hence asked to proceed with the backup. The Mac started erasing. I thought it was erasing the files previously present in the FAT32 part but it continued erasing for some time and finally erased the FAT32 file system itself. So the icon representing the FAT32 part of the partition of the external hard disk disappeared from the Mac’s desktop......

Running Windows XP on my laptop. When inserting any new plug 'n play device into any of my three USB ports, the Add Hardware wizard tells me that a device intallation is already in progress and I am to wait until that installation is complete. However, there is no other device being installed. I checked my device manager to see if anything is unrecognized, but no question marks. Any ideas on how I can install a new piece of hardware (in this case a USB memory stick)?

I'm using a fairly new install of Windows XP SP2 on my laptop.
Clicking on "New Connection Wizard", then select the "Connect to my
Workplace" option which would normally allow me to create a VPN connection,
is greyed out.
I've googled on this problem and found issues suggesting that
1. XP SP1 be re-installed (I'm upto SP2, which I've tried re-installing
without success)
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionTelephony be
deleted (have tried this, rebooted, no success)
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRasManPPPEAP25
and 26 (tried this, rebooted, no success)
4. Find SR.INF and re-install (tried, rebooted, no change)
Having tried all of the above, I've had no joy at all. The VPN option in
"New Connection Wizard" remains greyed out.
The problem did appear to begin when I did a System Restore after a bad s/w
installation.
In addition - when I try to re-start the Remote Access Connection Manager
Service I receive Error 5: Access is Denied. I'm logged on as a Local
Administrator. I believe this is related.
Usually this will start on it's own. Today that is not happening. I have verified that everything is connected correctly. Is there any other way to start this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've learned now heavily about the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. I've also learned about the USMT, which I've not yet used in practice, but learned the basics of in the .inf version. Studying that was how I was able to learn this deep into the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Basically, the two have similar, but not exactly the same configuration.Now here I'll post the configuration for the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. I took what I found already there, and was adding features to it. I didn't create this from scratch, and it would've been silly to, as it's a configuration file.My issue is that whenever I'm saving settings, anytime I tell it to save something from HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry, it does not work. I was needing to know if anyone knows why, so I can correct it please.
