for some reason, whenever I add a peripheral, my firewire card, for example, it doesn't automatically start working. I have to go to device manager and update the driver each time i use it. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

just to clarify... they're both 3.5" drives that I had previously hooked up to my desktop via firewire enclosures and are formatted, partitioned, and whatnot. I've tried connecting them to both the hub and the machine directly... sometimes when i go into the "computer management" console, under stor...

i have the audigy 2nx... sound is great... but i wish i had waited for this... same quality sound but portable! and doesn't eat up a usb port... but the blue lights ont eh 2nx look nice and symmetrical with the blue lights on my speaker set up

They should be plug and play, no? I've gone into the computer management console and tried assigning drive letters manually... still no go... Tried connecting to a hub, to the back of my port rep, and to the machine directly... could it be the enclosures themselves? went dirt cheap and got ones that...

go to radio shack... they have a 6' one for like... 12 bucks? works fine for me... same for the RCA cable... radio shack.

I keep having problems with rundll32. I know that its a critical part of the OS and whatnot... but every couple of days i get this problem where it takes like 95+ percent of my CPU usage and just won't do anything... and if i just let it run it never gives back my resources. Is there anything i coul...

i'm interested in the 2 ac's... how's $30 shipped to DC?

i do plenty of spreadsheet work on my 14"... looks fine... its when i change the magnification to 50% on excel that i begin to strain my eyes...

I just installed a Creative Audigy 2 NX external soundcard. When i hook it up to the thinkpad itself, it works fine, but if i plug it into my port replicator, it isn't recognized. Also, with the port rep, i'm having trouble with the ps/2 ports... my keyboard works, but the mouse only sporadically. A...

I also drive a VW (2003.5 gti). Fortunately for me my window regulators have not broken, so i believe they fixed the design flaw, but i know for sure that there was a recall here in the US for earlier models... not sure what happened in france.

what tends to happen with mine is that every runs smoothly until i try to close the window. At that point, outer frame of the app disappears, but the little window showing the thinkpad's position remains, and continues to show the real time orientation of the laptop. no clue what to do. like i said,...

i've got the same problem. What i do is just run task manager and close the rundll32 app, then restart it using the run command in the start menu. However, if anyone has a more permanent fix than this, i'd appreciate the input.

installed newest versions of both ipod software and itunes yesterday... related question: has anyone noticed whether, with usb 2.0 external drives, there is heavy processor / ram usage, particularly with burning dvd's... with the old firewire chipset i had (oxford 911), a lot of the load shifted to ...

the ibm site says the dock should be 2877-10u, this auction is for the 2877... not sure if its the exact same.

this is my first experience with usb 2.0... had firewire on my desktop... just bought the usb cable for my ipod and when synching the ipod (which is a lot slower than when i used firewire on my desktop) while playing music, itunes starts to break up a LOT. Processor usage is at around 20% (according...

can someone chime in for sure about whether this is applicable for refurbs?

sounds like something i could do... i have a sony bluetooth headset that i currently use when i drive. What kind of plans are there for voip? any recommendations as to which service is best (if they're different at all?)

i think this is what you're looking for

hmmm new egg has 9 cell for $100... ultrabay battery for $100... if i decide to just get another 9-cell, is there any way to charge simultaneously (without swapping out)

sorry, decided to go with a person selling his t41p on this forum...

and it just charges when you're plugged in, correct? what's a typical full charge time for a laptop with both batteries in?

he has sold a bunch of ~$350-$400 scanners... but this is the seller's first auction of this scale... but given that he's selling them for $1550, i'm guessing he got them for significantly less, says he got them at a liquidation auction...

i get some insurance given that he uses paypal, no?

true.... perhaps too good to be?

anyone know how much battery life these provide?

found this auction... thought it might help for people who are shopping for new laptops

i'm trying to cancel the order i just placed with IBM (forgot to take tax into account when comparing with other deals)... so when i get the amount credited back to my credit card, i can paypal you the amount.
