Drive changes
I had a C: and a D: on my laptop
I had a E: BD/Rom
I had a F: and a G: and a H:............All remote hard drives
The F; has now become I: so I have C,D,E,F,H,I
How come? and how do I change it back? (I like a tidy machine)
The only thing I have run im-between is a De-frag on C: and some Firefox add-ons

Re: The Digital Surgery
How do you mean remote hard drives? Are you talking about network storage? Because they shouldn't change letters!
If you're talking about USB drives, then you can change them manually. In Windows XP open control panel-->administrative tools-->computer management (in windows 7 you can just start typing "computer mana..." into the start menu). Then click on "Disk Management", right click your drive and select "Drive Letters and Paths" to change.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Thanks Plen
Done and dusted
Still puzzled as to how it changed in the first place
Think it may have been done with my friends laptop

Re: The Digital Surgery
If it was a USB drive then it can happen if you plug in another drive with the letter F: assigned to it while the original drive is unplugged, and then the original drive is plugged in before the new drive F: has been unplugged.

Re: The Digital Surgery
When using Vuze on my Desktop, I've recently had the error message "Stack Overflow at Line 5523" coming up when I run a search - I cannot then select anything to download from the search results...... 
Can anyone help with some idiot proof instructions on how to overcome this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Re: The Digital Surgery
I don't know anything about Vuze but according to this page it looks like it's actually an error either with internet explorer, or the data that internet explorer is passing back to Vuze.
First port of call, make sure you have the latest versions of both Vuza and Internet Explorer installed.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Thanks for the response and effort Pleng. I'm actually using Firefox, but assume it can also be a similar problem with coding.... I'll have to double check, but I'm sure both laptop and desktop have the same versions of both Windows 7 (64-bit), Vuze and Firefox...... all very confusing!!Pleng wrote:I don't know anything about Vuze but according to this page it looks like it's actually an error either with internet explorer, or the data that internet explorer is passing back to Vuze.

Re: The Digital Surgery
From what I saw on that page, I think that Vuze's built in search makes use of Internet Explorer.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Thanks once again Pleng. Still very strange though - no issues on my laptop using the same system(s). HOWEVER, having a closer look at the page you recommended after your comments re: IE, I noticed one of the posts mentioning going through a VPN. I tried this and hey presto... it works!!Pleng wrote:From what I saw on that page, I think that Vuze's built in search makes use of Internet Explorer.
All very bizarre though - IE has been disabled on all of my computers, and Firefox installed. Why I should have this issue on my desktop only, God only knows.....
Again - many thanks for the response and effort. Much appreciated.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Not sure if anyone else is having issues with Firefox 14 and Flash player 11.3 constantly crashing but here's how to solve it if you are:

Re: The Digital Surgery
Done. Thanks for that.
I assume the need to log out of Firefox serves no purpose other than to annoy you?

Re: The Digital Surgery
Yeah, another way to temporarily fix it when FF crashes is hit ctrl+alt+del, bring up the task manager and kill FlashPlayerPlugin, then the browser will come back to life without losing all of your open tabs.

Re: The Digital Surgery
After installing Skype on the Tablet and logging in to your Skype account they should all be accessible ?
