http://live.pirillo.com/ - Oh no, two of John’s Toshiba Satellite notebooks USB ports are apparently failing. What should he do?

Chris gives John several diagnostic steps he can follow, including uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and testing the USB hardware on ports that he knows are good and not potentially failing.

Do you have any suggestions for John?Duration : 0:7:17

I didn’t use much of my studio on this one. I was testing my recently aquired Yamaha CS2x synth. I used just the preset sounds, recorded live into Cakewalk Sonar one at a time. I put a guitar lead on top with my Gibson L6S going through the Boss DR-880. I recorded the guitar on 2 tracks simultaneously in Sonar 6, then put some Sonar effects on one of the tracks. I did not use any effects on the CS2x, just the factory preset sounds.

The room was not that dark. The camera capture and rendering in Pinnacle Studio did that, as well as trashing the stereo and removing a lot of the sound dynamics.

I can’t recommend that anyone use Pinnacle Studio. If anyone has good suggestions on a video capture and editing product, I’d like to hear. I have MS Moviemaker and Adobe Premiere Elements, but I used Studio because of the USB hardware with it. I’m going to try recording direct to memory card and uploading that, then synching with the Sonar wav recording.Duration : 0:4:11

Step by step video to configure HUAWEI E220 UMTS/HDSPA 3,6 USB modem in Windows Vista. Subtitles in english and spanish.

Instalación paso a paso para configurar el módem HUAWEI E220 UMTS/HDSPA a 3,6 USB de vodafone en Windows Vista.
Textos en español e inglés.

Step by Step:

1) Connect the E220 to your XP PC/Laptop
2) access the emulated CD Drive and copy all the Contents onto a USB Pen Drive.
3) Disconnect the E220 and the Pen Drive
4) Connect the Pen Drive to your Vista PC and install the software using the Autorun.exe file (Run as Administrator)
5) Connect the E220 - Vista will only recognize a USB Mass Storage Device and the emulated CD drive which it cannot access.
6) Open the Device Manager (in the Control Panel)
7) Look for the USB Mass Storage Device in the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” Section

If there are more than one USB Mass Storage Devices, right click each one,
select Properties, Details and then “Children”
If it says “Huawei” somewhere inside the Value, you found the right one. Right click on the Mass Storage Device and select “Update Driver Software”
9) Select “Browse my Computer”
10) Select “Let me pick”
11) Uncheck “Show compatible devices”
12) Select “(standard USB Host Controller)” in the Manufacturer Tab
13) Select “USB Composite Device” in the Model Tab
14) Finish installing the Composite Device driver
15) Afterwards, Vista will add another USB Mass Storage Device, and if you are lucky, also 2 “Data Interfaces”
16) If it doesn’t detect the Data Interfaces, disconnect and reconnect your E220.
17) Vista should now detect all the E220s Data Interfaces
18) When asked to insert the disk containing the drivers, choose “I don’t have the disk”
19) Enter the \Drivers\WinXP Subfolder of your USB Pen Drive
20) Repeat Step 18&19 for the second Data Interface
21) Start your Huawei Mobile Connect (Web’n'Walk Manager) Software, and connect
