View 1 RepliesI am a professional photographer and rely on a 7in1 card reader to import my photos onto my computer. I mostly use Compact flash, microdrive or other large capacity media cards although have several other media cards various sizes right down to 64MB and have never (until now) had a problem with large capacity. Recently I got a bad virus on my system and needed a large external 500GB hard drive to back all my photos up before formatting. I have 2 x 80GB hard drives and can not risk loosing any data. The backup and restore was going to take too long so I put it aside for the near future when not so busy at work. I swapped my hard drives out (Stored safely for future use) and installed a new one as a temporary measure running the same XP Pro with SP2 and all updates but my 7in1 card reader does not work. It plugs and plays and shows all drives in my computer. When I insert any card in any slot the light flashes to recognise card detection but when I click on the drive it states "the disk in drive (x) is not formatted do you want to format it now". I select yes but it fails and says "windows was unable to format this disk". I can format them as normal in the camera and on other xp systems using either of my card readers.
I have tried swapping the USB cable suspecting it damaged and tried swapping to different USB ports which all work with other USB devices as well as repetedly uninstalling and trying again even unistalling the USB controllers.Device manager says the device is working properly.The cards read and write fine in all my cameras and all works fine on other PC's running XP Pro.I swapped for a different spare 7in1 card reader and the same happens.The one came with install drivers but only for windows 9x not XP pro and the other had no drivers.Neither have any manufactorer details to obtain updates but I never needed them in the past. Any other system including my old one plugged and played without any need to install drivers.When my PC boots it checks my 1024 Ram, detects my hard drives and dvd drives then detects the 7in1 card reader before even loading into XP.All appears to be working correct. I tried booting from a windows Preinstallation Environment CD (Windows PE) and can read the cards from here I can also use Hyrens boot CD.Very awkward work around and do not have much control over where Im dragging and dropping with this method.Also sometimes when I boot back into XP the photos are not where I just copied them to.I can not risk a method as long winded and "flakey" as this for professional use.
I just bought the MS Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader. It works fine logging into Windows XP. But, it's supposed to work for visiting Web sites that require login. And, it doesn't. I can't even get it set up
for any website I've gone to yet.
I was trying to update Adobe Reader from 7.0.5 to 7.0.8, the newest one, when all my problems began. When I tried to install .8 I got a message that read: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can acces it." So was going to just remove Adobe 7.05 in Add/Remove and got the same message. Went to C:program files and got the same message. I can't get Adobe off my computer. I really need help. The 7.0.5 won't open anything, get the same message. I don't know where the source file would be if it isn't in C:program files.

I have XP SP2 with a Sandisk C250 MP3 player on it.Two things I am having a problem with:I have a mini-SD card in it, WMP 11 sees it has music in it but will not tell me what it is. Player itself recognizes the music and the music is on the hard drive of that PC (WMA files). Short of buying a card reader and reformatting, then reloading, how do I delete music from it. Is the card the problem or WMP?

It has happened every time without failure, and even after I have re-installed the entire Windows XP system, the problem would come up again.
I am using an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M 1.6GHz processor and 1.2GB of RAM, I have the automatic update enabled to install all the software patches from Microsoft and so on.
I have a USB MICR Reader (It is used for reading checks and credit cards) and i use the accessibilitiy option in control panel to enable serial key devices since the program has to go thru a virtual keyboard in order for the MICR Reader to communicate with the program and in the accessibility options you can only use com 1-4 since MS doesn't reconize anything above 4 for use as a serial device. Nedless to say i need to know how to change com ports in XP the device will take up to com port 18 but the serial devices above 4

Here's some of the issues that started happening all of a sudden -It runs super slow at times and freezing up, svchost.exe seems to be taking a lot of resources up when that's happening -The memory card reader doesn't work. It makes the noise that a new device has been recognized when I put one it, but it never shows up in My Computer. The memory card reader does appear to be working properly in device manager. -Both firefox and IE aren't loading some sites. I'm connected to the internet and some sites load just fine and others never seem to load- and it's not that the site is down. The list of sites I can't access I'm starting to discover is big, and which sites can be access and which ones can't doesn't seem to follow any pattern- I can access google & gmail, but it won't perform a search (either from the page or from the search toolbar in both IE and firefox). I can access and log into my banking sites, ebay, and other random sites (some secure, some not). But I can't access weather.com, the Neosmart forums, the Dell community forums, dell.com, and others. I can access facebook.com, but I can't log on.
My first thought was I have some type of spyware even though I'm very good about not downloading stuff so I ran a ad-aware scan and it came up with nothing. I also ran a hijackthis scan and everything was normal there too. I'd been noticing recently that some windows processes in task manager are using what seemed like a large amount of memory. I then looked my other computer and on the problem one Explorer.exe is running around 99,000 - 120,000 kb- on my other computer it only runs around 14,000-35,000, that big of a difference between the two machines (both running xp- the problem one pro on a laptop, the other home on a desktop) is not normal...........

The flyover help says I can click on the icon to edit the signon information for
this page. However, when I click this icon, all I get is a dialog with the hightlighted fingers just telling me to use one to signon.Am I missing something? How do you edit signon information for a previously

When she removed the card windows locked up, as soon as she reinserted the card windows worked fine. She removed the mini SD card from the adapter to use in her phone, and windows still worked fine, but as soon as she removed the Mini SD adapter from the card reader windows locked up and the windows would hang during start-up with out the adapter. Reinserting the adapter cured the freeze and hang, but windows ran very slow.I removed and reinstalled the card reader drivers and was able to remove the adapter, but windows still hangs on start-up with out the adapter placed in the slot.

Firefox is working fine, but IE7 is not. Also Steam, Ventrilo, and AIM work fine, but programs such as, UBI Internet, and Gas Powered Games Internet, and almost all games do not work.

Plus my Tablet side of things hasn't worked in a long time and I was hoping the clean install would fix that. But my recovery DVD isn't working (could be user error). I DO have apps that I need to keep and I think I've backed them up to my external HD correctly.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI de-infected a windows XP system with SP3 and IE7. Once I did that, http no longer loaded in IE. It does not work in portable firefox either. I can type in ftp:// ftp address and IE works. Likewise I
can use https:// and the page loads! What is going on: I tried:
1) Reset ie7 as per MS
2) Removed IE 7
2a) IE6 would not load http either
3) reapplied SP3
4) Repair install win winxp cd.
5) Deleted and re-installed network card
This is where I am now. Still no http://. Since multiple applications are affected, I do not think it is a browser helper.
