Software / Battery Icon on Laptop

« on: March 14, 2006, 11:34:02 PM »

Has anyone heard of this?

I can't seem to get the Battery Icon showing on my system tray - and I've already ensured the bar has been disconnected. I've tried adding the icon to always show on system tray, and the Power bar shows but all it says is AC Power On, it doesnt even tell you how much left is remaining after disconnecting the battery plug.

I googled this and found I'm not the only one with this problem (according to this site: http://hardware.mcse.ms/archive27-2004-12-117963.html) but tried using those steps to fix and it still doesn't work.

also when I disconnect the battery, the life of the battery doesn't even last more than an hour-ish.

So could the problem also be from the battery?


Thoughts pls?!

Software / How to burn Data DVDs

« on: March 14, 2006, 12:20:50 AM »

Hello!

I've tried using Nero Ultra Edition for this however it only recognizes it as as 700MB disk. On top of that when I've added the files and attempt to burn, it says it's not a valid data Disc? Am I using a version of Nero that doesn't support burning data dvd's?


Advice please, thanks!

Software / Netowrk PC to Laptop

« on: March 13, 2006, 10:56:35 PM »

Hi,

Can anyone spare their expertise on this?

I'm connected to Internet via Hub and 2 computers running XP Pro. I Just hooked up my Laptop running XP Home Edition but my PC doesn't see the Laptop. It sees the other computer just fine though. Just not my laptop.

I was able to add a similar laptop (same Gateway model) to the network before but this one won't detect it. I'm running beind the XP Firewall only and using the same Mcafee Antivus on all computers.

Any thoughts?


Thanks!
