I have had a SmartDisk Firelite 40GB hard drive for almost a year now, Recently it hasnt been working. When I plug it into my computer it says it's installing the drivers. Then I look under my Hard Disk Drives. (That's where FireLite puts them, NOT USB.) and it doesn't show up. I even click all Removable Disks to see if maybe that is my external drive. Sadly they are not. Now I have gone into device manger. But it's not showing up in my hard drives or in USB. So I have come here looking for help. I would post what it shows but its very small, Guess you can thank my monitor res. for that. Tha

Firefox 3 is great. It really has used a lot less memory, Which is very good for me. I am avid firefox fan I have more then 10+ tabs open, and It doesn't slow down that much or even use more then a gig of ram, Thanks Mozilla.

Can't wait for the giveaway. I really need the iPod touch.

Thanks for your reply.

I just want to note that if you open ports on your router that you must be careful, with what ports you use. I have Comcast and sometimes VNC doesn't handle it that well.

Multi-tasking is working fine here for vista. Haven't had a single problem. I run two monitors and doing many others things, Vista is not slowing down at all.

Thanks. Either one will work for me. I just want a valid opinion.

Hey Besttechie and everyone else. I am in the market for a new iPod, I just want an opinion of which iPod you guys/gals recommend. I am debating on an 80GB iPod Classic and a 8 or 16GB iPod Touch. Which do you guys recommend I get? Also do you think I should wait until the new firmware comes out to buy an iPod touch? Thank you.

I have always had problems with torrents and my ISP. I have Comcast so they don't play nice to torrents. It's sad really. If I want a Linux Distro Comcast says "no" and connects to cap me. I know of some Internet Service providers or even make your router slow down the torrents or even make your routers have a hissy fit and do some weird stuff to your network.

Actually I went back into the windows update section in Windows Vista and I realized that there are eight different each day. They are not the same updates. I didn't look closely at it. Most of them are Windows Vista security updates.

I have recently made the switch to Windows Vista. I am not having many problems. The only problem I am having is that when I run windows update it says it updated the 8 updates. But when I go back into windows updated it said that they all failed to download, Now I must clarify that I am using a wireless internet, I am thinking that is the problem. If anyone knows why it wont install just the eight updates If you know why this is please leave a comment Thank you much. - Snake eyes-

Windows Firewall is awful and it doesn't catch anything. I perfer to download a free firewall. I personally like comodo firewall and Zone alarm firewall. They are both great and do the job well. Having a router as a firewall is very well as well.

Hi. I noticed you needed help with partitioning your hard drive. Partitioning isn't hard but it is also not easy at the same time. I've never really done it but I have seen many people do it and seemed easy. I would recommend Norton Partition magic and try that and see if that works for you. - Snakeyes1123 -

The other day I installed service pack 3 for XP. XP seems to be running a lot faster then it did with service pack 2. Of course service pack 3 is not out yet and I am currently running the service pack in beta mode. When it does get released some time this month I can't wait to install it on my brothers computer as well as my sisters computer.

Turning off UAC is the best way to go. It not only makes Vista run faster but it makes it a lot less naggy and easier to use as well.

This is a question a lot of people ask. To be honest, It comes down what you want. I am currently running XP with 2GBs of DDR ram and a 8600GTS graphics card. Some could say I can run Microsoft Windows Vista with no problem at all. That being sad, I have tested and ran Windows Vista, and it was nothing but problems and pain. I had problems with incompatible drivers and problems with programs that would made for Microsoft Windows XP. I've gone back and forth between the two operating system in the past year and so. I have finally made the all out switch to Microsoft Windows XP. My friends on t
