Wireless Mouse Troubleshooting
I am a computer tech providing phone support for a user who has a
wireless mouse connected to her PC, which has been working fine until
today -- Now wherever she moves the mouse pointer it automatically
registers a left-mouse click without her clicking, as though the left

Over the phone, I've had her replace the batteries, press "reset" button

Windows with 2 cursors
I've had this thought for years --- what if the Window's UI supports 2
cursors?
I like to draw, and when I draw, I draw with both hands. Not one hand
at a time, but both hands simultaneously. This is something that I've
trained myself to do since I was a kid.
But anyway, back to the 2 cursor thing --- if the Windows UI does
support 2 cursors, then I would be able to do more things at onc...

Is a 32 GB to 100 GB HD upgrade possible
Hi All,
A customer has a used laptop with a defective
Toshiba HDD2181 32 GB ATA hard drive in it.
I was thinking of replacing it with a Seagate
ST9100828AS ATA 100 GB drive.
Question: somewhere in the cobwebs in the
back of brain, I remember there being a 32 GB BIOS
barrier. If this is the case, I should stick with
a smaller drive?
Do I also remember with the bios...

Can You Partition External Hard Drive
Hi
Is it possible to partition an USB External HD to have both a FAT32
and NTFS partition? My TV only recognized FAT32 and I want to play
MP3's / show pics on the TV but use the more stable NTFS file system
to store my other files.
Will Windows XP recognize both drives? If its of any help I use the
USB interface.
Thanks...

XP doesn't see Mobile Mouse 3000
Just yesterday I received my MSI Wind U100420US (this version does not have
Bluetooth) with Windows XP SP3...and today I went out and purchased a MS
Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 for it. As soon as the receiver went into the USB
port, XP announced that it had found the new hardware. But the mouse won't
work (yes, I installed the battery)...the cursor won't move and clicks do not

USB Controller list in Device Manager

I have an older (2003) custom built computer with XP Home SP3 that's been
having problems with the six USB ports and Windows not finding drivers for
plugged in devices.
Under USB controllers in the Device Manager, with nothing plugged into the
ports, there are multiple listings for the USB controllers. Is this normal?
The list is as follows:

DVD copy software for WinXP
I need to specify a DVD copying app for a non-tech customer. I use Nero and
have an extra copy, but that damn app wants to load a ton of schitt, steal
all the file associations and all I want is a simple copy tool. If I could
be there to uncheck all the boxes I might go that way.
Is there a small-footprint disk copier on the web somewhere? Free is nice,

1 GB memory module installed, Windows running awkward
hello ng,
I installed a 1 GB memory module. Now,Windows is a running awkward. Like two windows open by clicking

Could I update some program on the computer to let it realize the actual amount of memory. I would say

Re-installed XP Pro. Now cannot access Dynamic Disk data on 2nd HD
Hey all. Okay here we go...
My system has TWO SATA HDDs. About a year ago I converted them both to

Preventing PnP on a COM port
Hi,
I have some non-PnP equipment connected to a COM port and it seems booting
XP is messing with it when it is trying to see if there is anything
connected that it recognizes. Is there anyway to make XP recognize the COM
port but skip trying to see what is connected?

MN-730 PCI Wireless Adapter
I was just getting a very old PC up and running with XP for one of the
younger kids in the family. It uses a MN-730 Wireless PCI adapter. It
connects inconsistently, and I can't quite figure out why.
If I do a shut-down/restart, the network adapter sees the network, but will
not connect when it restarts. If I physically shut down, and then do a

emachine desktop power or Motherboard problems

the moment is a 220). They stop working. The on button flashes constantly
and can't be turned on or off. I have changed the power supply but it
doesn't change. As soon as I plug it in the power supply fan and the
