Just take a look at the back panel of your computer.
You would find 2 or more USB slots which are meant for your memory stick (we call it USB pen-drive as well).

Insert this memory stick into one of these slots. (Align the plastic side properly and it ll fit in easily).
Normally there is an LED light on the stick that glows when you connect it to the computer.

Now click on Start - (My) Computer
Or just press Windows+E

Alongwith the hard-drive & DVD-drive, you would find the Memory Stick icon there (manufacturer's name like Kingston, SanDisk etc would appear).
Double click on it to open and see whats stored inside (right now it would be blank as u v not stored anything in it)

Now you want to store something, say, a song in it,

Very simple. Just open the Music folder. Right click on your song. Click on Send To, and then click on the memory stick (removable media) name.

You can alternatively copy the song (right click on the song, click on copy), go to the memory stick drive (open My Computer, double click on stick icon), and paste the song there (again right click, click on paste).

Once the file is copied, disconnect the stick from computer.
Now your data is ready to travel with you.

Camera keeps telling me to reinsert the memory card. I've tried to new cards. When I put the memory card I was replacing because it is full, it goes back into the camera just fine.

As a last resort you could copy the full card to a computer and then delete the pictures on the card and use that again.

Here is the error list from the camera manual.
This is all I can suggest from here.

"Reinsert the Memory Stick Error"
•
Insert the "Memory Stick Duo" correctly.
•
The inserted "Memory Stick Duo"cannot be used in your camera
(See below).
•
The "Memory Stick Duo" is damaged.
•
The terminal section of the "Memory Stick Duo" is dirty

Compatible cards.
Memory Stick Duo (without MagicGate)
Memory Stick Duo (with MagicGate) *1 *2
MagicGate Memory Stick Duo *1
Memory Stick PRO Duo *1 *2

NOT compatible
Memory Stick (without MagicGate)
Memory Stick (with MagicGate)
MagicGate Memory Stick
Memory Stick PRO

Some Memory Stick Duo have a write protect switch on the back.
You cannot record, edit or delete images if you
slide the write-protect switch to LOCK with a
fine-tipped object

"Memory Stick Duo", "MagicGate Memory

Depending on how the flash drive is formatted the picture frame may not be able to understand the information on the flash drive. Check the operators manual of your frame for the correct format your flash drive needs to be in order for the frame to read the files. Most of the time formatting to FAT is the safest option

Did you remove the "old" RAM, or did you add the "new" RAM to the old RAM?

Try using your computer with ONLY the "new" RAM installed.

The memory is full and I don't know how to fix it

What memory?
If the sim memory is full then get a backup device or use your computer to store more numbers.
If your memory stick is full, get another one or get a bigger one and back up the old files.
If you dont need the already stored data, use the phone or a card reader to delete all stored data.Then youd have a fresh memory space.

Upgraded RAM, Now CPU Says "No Input Signal. Go To Power Save."

I would check the documentation to ensure you purchase the correct memory. If you purchase the wrong memory type, it could cause issues like these.

How Do I/Where do I put this thing in my phone

Stick the microchip into the adapter(s) and insert it into a sd slot on your computer if you have one. If you dont have an sd slot, they sell external systems for sd cards at any electronic store that carries computers such as best-buy. This should FixYa!
