I have a couple of issues that deal with USB stick drives. My girlfriend has a Dell computer with an HP printer. This printer was used on her old system with a parallel cable so now it's used on the new system with the same cable. But whenever a stick drive is in a USB connection, she can't print until the stick is removed. Everything seems to be okay, it just doesn't want to print. I can't think of what to do besides say "What the..."
It seems that stick drive manufacturers have fallen in love with U3. That's fine if you have a Windows computer and have an admin account to disable/use the critter effectively. At work I'm not admin on anything, at home I have one XP machine, the rest are either to old or don't run Windows. So how can I actually get rid of the crappy U3 stuff. It appears as a pair of drives (a normal volume along with a CD volume) on the machines I've tried to use it with (I didn't try it with the Win98SE system). It would seem logical, at least to me, that if the CD-ROM appears on a system, that system should be able to get rid of that crap! Can anybody point me in the right direction about what to do about either item. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Recursive, adj. - see Recursive. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
