Probably not the best subject line, but I have a 500GB SeaGate external HDD. It's really 465GB, but as I'm doing my backups I notice that the sizes of the files do not add up to the total space that is showing full on the drive. At this moment I have deleted everything on the drive and it is...

I bought an external HDD that is USB 3.0 compatible. My laptop (Toshiba L305D-S5928) documentation says that my slot is ExpressCard™ slot (ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54). I may not have any idea of what I'm talking about here, but I want to buy an expresscard with two USB 3.0 ports on it...

Can someone offer help with these two questions? 1. I have a Canon Pixma MX340 that takes cartridges CL210 and CL211. What kind of chip resetter should I purchase? 2. Also, can cartridges be reset after they've been refilled? If I purchase good cartridges from a seller that I like on Ebay, who...

Hi, I had an HP model a6313w with an M2N68-LA (Narra2) MB. I replaced the motherboard due to a problem, with the same model, but a Narra3 (I have no idea what that means). I pasted links below. The new MB was from another model HP called a6530f. Everything is fine, but when I start the PC up...

Hi, This may not belong here and if so I appologize. I've always found this forum (site in general) to be the most direct and helpful. I'm looking for a way to back up new documents and files, or existing ones if they have changed, from only a few select folders. My situation is this: I have a...

Hi, I'm working on a laptop of nieces with Vista. Some wierd things keep popping up and I can't figure where they're coming from, mainly a couple of warnings of trojans from AVG, but the scan showed nothing. I've run SAS and Malwarebytes in Safe Mode and then re-run to be sure everything was...

Hi, I have a PC with Vista of my nieces that I added the max memory to and am cleaning it up, but dear God at the amount of updates for Vista. I couldn't get about 45 updates that it needed due to some error before I could even get Windows Update to show me SP1, so I wound up having to get SP1...

How can I control start-up programs for different user accounts? Maybe I'm making this more difficult than it has to be, but if I, the Administrator, make a new user account, is it possible to have or configure the start up programs differently for other user accounts, whether they be...
