My sansa c140 was doing just fine yesterday. Today I loaded it up to my PC to upload more music. When I opened Drive E all the music was gone but I was able to upload a few new mp3. After I disconnceted it from my computer it would not go past the Sansa opening screen. Now the only way to shut it off is by disconnecting the battery. And even when I connect it to the computer the screen likes up but the PC doesn't recongize that any device is even connected. Please help!
Ok so I've left my mp3 player connected to the USB whenever I use my computer and suddenly my computer recongized it. I tried to take advantage of it by using the downloadable fixers but it didn't work. Now my computer wont recongize it any more.
I was thinking about formatting it..but that erases EVERYTHING. If its ok to do that let me know and I'll try it if it ever pops up again.--Gosplan (talk) 00:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm running XP on a Vaio Laptop. Most of the time when I suspend or hibernate my computer, the function key, and the controls that go along with it (including the secondary volume keys) do not work...what would be the reason for this? A glitch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.2.110 (talk) 01:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

How difficult would it be to remove the watermark in Image:KenwoodFrontDoor.jpg to obtain this? Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I have came across several instances where I have wanted to download free software from the net but not found anywhere I can actually download the software itself from, only finding the 'source code', for example I tried to download the LAME MP3 codec tonight only to be told by their website: "LAME is only distribued in source code form. For binaries and GUI based programs which can use LAME (or include fully licensed versions of LAME), check the LAME related links. All software from the LAME project can be found in the project's file area."
This isn't very helpful and I would imagine it would put a lot of people off downloading their software. I like to think I know a fair bit about PCs but I wouldn't know what to do with the source code. Does it have to be executed at a command line or something or is is there some kind of software that I have to use to compile it? GaryReggae (talk) 21:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I think you need to compile it with a compiler. But if you are not paranoid, there are other versions online. The problem with LAME is that although LAME was invented separately, MP3 technology is patented. This means it does not matter if you invented it separately from the original inventor, you cannot distribute your invention. I am not a lawyer but I know it is not a good idea to host the executable binary software unless I know what I am getting into. --Kushalt 21:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I've been trying to find a graphical (GTK etc.) file search utility for Linux, but it seems surprisingly difficult. I found gnome-find, but it was removed by a dist-upgrade some time ago. I recall there was one that could take advantage of locate
and its database, but I can't remember what it was called. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. ›mysid (☎∆) 22:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I was just wondering if somebody could give me a basic quick comparison of the differences in Celeron vs P4 and P4 vs Dual core? Or even pentium vs AMD? How much difference does ____(whatever this element/aspect of a CPU) make? Ultimately I imagine the speed is what matters, but I've seen different speeds attacked to each of these titles. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.28.144.36 (talk) 23:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
