    Thanks, I'd already tried the other leads to the pc before I tried the tv and it still won't recognise it other than state USB. Have re-installed all software and still no joy.

A camera that works connected to a TV without software is not the proper device to connect to a computer. Check again with your packaging and instructions.
Having a camera working on the computer and then porting the video signal to a TV monitor is the preferred arrangement.
Install the software, reboot, then connect a PC camera, it should be recognized and be testable on Skype, etc.

My cpu won't recognize my LACIE Minimus Drive. I have no Setup Assistant and I need the info locked on the drive. What do I do?

Go download EASEUS Partition Master 5.8.1 Home Edition (free). I've found it very useful to check and often repair drives that won't mount.

My computer can't read camera and headphone

Hellooooo friend..............


Check first if the battery of your camera has the enough power to operate while it is plugged to your laptop.
If yes and still does'nt work.
If that's brand new, you'll find two kind of CD in the packaging; one is the installation CD and the manual CD. Install the installation CD for it will load the Driver of your camera. Then try to upload you picture again.
If that's not brand new, connect to internet and download the camera driver while your camera is plugged to your laptop

I have a customer who sent me this email: I recently purchased Clifford Cool School. When I went to install the CD, it was blank! The computer won't even read that there's a CD in the hard drive....

Check the CD-ROM by inserting another CD before performing any other action because sometimes the lens of CD-ROM leaves work, also check the CD compatibility by abrading the hole of CD with a cutter or knife or key, do not abrade it too much. If the CD is really blank, download the driver from the internet or contact with company via their website or Service Centre.

I own eMachine Notebook e525 and it won't read any disks. I have tried multiple disks such as music cds, installation cds and video dvds. None of them read or open. There isn't even an icon for the...

> there is no icon for the CD-drive

Probably means that either:
* no electrical power is reaching the CD-ROM drive
* no "data" is being transferred to/from the drive
* the electronics inside the CD-ROM drive have "died"

Check the "power" and "data" connectors.

If necessary, replace the drive with a new CD/DVD reader/writer.
