    Okay, I'll try and avoid the overly complicated technical words.

    There's another issue that may be more to the point: Windows sorts files by their name in the directory; devices that play MP3's usually sort by the ID3 (internal to the file) tagged names. The two...

    The "radio" they're referring to is what makes the adapter wireless - it's the radio frequency transmitter/receiver portion of the adapter.

    Setting it on, you can transmit and receive. Turning it...

    Well, that is bad news, as the next likely culprit (in my opinion) is the power jack where it attaches to the motherboard. These tend to die over time with moderate to rough usage -- they're just...

    A DC rating that's twice the normal voltage would certainly indicate to me a failure in the brick. Hopefully the laptop has a failsafe mechanism to protect against that...but it may not expect that...

    When the power brick is plugged in to the computer, do you get an indicator light for battery charging (amber) or mains present (green)? Of course, the light could always be blue for either...

    The default user name is left blank, and the password is admin. It sounds like it could be a WAN setting, something to the effect of "always stay logged in" - one of the peculiarities of DSL...

    Double-check that the power brick is still putting out the stated voltage. Ignore any indicator light if present, you'll need a volt meter (multitester).

    You need to pay attention to the comment posting dates. You replied to an almost 5 year old thread. The device in question is probably not even in use anymore.

    If you don't use the card reader (that is built into the printer) to read the content to your computer, you can solve the error message issue by disabling the card reader device (drive) in Windows.

    If the video and audio were fine during recording (you could view and hear the DVD on the television), then your problem resides inside the TV/VCR.

    Your system isn't as clean as you think it is. The behavior you're seeing isn't normal for Firefox. I've never added anything to the base browser to block pop-ups, and I don't have any issues.

    You can't. The HTML email link simply tells the browser to invoke the default email program and passes whatever variables are present (To, Subject, etc.).

    First of all, that's not a relative path, it's absolute. Second, you're assuming that AOL let's you change the location. AOL doesn't trust you anymore than Microsoft does. :)
