My other laptop, the one I use for most of my work, is currently showing disk activity at 100% and has been like that for a solid hour or more now. I can't do much of anything with that laptop...
Based on the many references to "mouse" in the answer, I'm guessing that was a boilerplate reply to questions of this kind. I didn't mention using a mouse and haven't used one in years :-) But that's...
I am frequently annoyed by my cursor jumping around as I type, particularly as I'm writing emails or indeed any place where there's a large text area - like the one I'm posting this question in - and...
The internet in my house works fine for all connected devices *except* one of my laptops. My modem has two networks on it, a main and a guest, and last night, I suddenly started having problems with...
I appreciate all the answers to my question. Unfortunately, as I've delved into specific flash drives, I'm strongly inclined to the impression that the brand and vendor are no guarantee of quality....
I've tried the flash drives on two different laptops, a Dell and an ASUS, both running Windows 10 Home 21H2. Most of what I've done is on the Dell and I think all of its USB ports are 2.0 because I...
Many of the people at this site clearly have much more experience with buying flash drives than I do and as the owner of two flash drives that did NOT stand the test of time, I'm looking for some...
One of the two drives, Flash 4, actually worked momentarily as I was trying things out: it *didn't* ask me for a disk and let me copy a couple of files onto it. However, when I tried to read those...
I downloaded Check Flash and it "sees" both flash drives, both of which are in separate USB ports directly in the laptop but it says: <NOT FORMATTED OR NO MEDIA> for both drives. When I click on the...
I used a feature within the View option to produce an HTML report showing all of the information about each of the two flash drives. The following link should point to the HTML report:
Dropbox -...
That's not working really well either:
362086
I've done that now.
I've downloaded the zip file but I'm not clear on how to install it: unzip the file and simply execute the .exe file?
I'm holding off on this third step until I'm...
I just tried each flash drive in turn on my other laptop. File Explorer recognizes that it's a flash drive but tells me to insert a disk into USB Drive (E:). When I right-click, I get an Eject option...
I put Flash 3 directly into the laptop, opened an admin command prompt and executed: diskpartlist disk. The response was: "diskpartlist" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable...
When I put either of the flash drives directly into the laptop, I get this in Devices and Printers:
362078.
The flash drive is "SM3267AB Memory Bar". It goes away when I remove the flash drive.
I mentioned what happened in my original question:
When I put Flash 3 and Flash 4 directly into the laptop, nothing at all happens.
That continues to be true.
What do I do about this presumed driver issue? Where do I get drivers for my flash drives?
I am having trouble with two of my USB drives. Both of them are ADATA UV128/32GB USB 3.0 flash drives. I've put external labels on each of them - Flash 3 and Flash 4 - and will refer to them by those...
Can you kindly refer me to a full and detailed set of instructions for doing the clean install that you're recommending? I'm hoping these instructions are clear on how to obtain my license key, which...
A clean install would require a proper backup being made first, which is a BIG job in my case. I should have time for that over March break if nothing else goes wrong.
In the meantime, what would...
For anyone still following this thread, I apologize for disappearing for several days. I had started the very major task of identifying everything I needed to back up so that I could do a real backup...
Actually, I finally got the BIOS to update a few days back. I even got the WiFi back. Unfortunately, trying to install the latest audio drivers ended up with me being without audio drivers at all and...
I'm still trying to understand why I ran into trouble installing the latest version of my audio driver and why that problem should impact my WiFi. What do the two problems have to do with one another...
You've obviously mistaken me for someone with lots of spare money lying around.
I'd be grateful for suggestions on how I can fix my laptop WITHOUT reinstalling Windows.
I downloaded an update for my word processor and the problem was gone after the reboot for the update. However, I have seen this problem before on other computers and have always wondered what the...
