Hello! :) I have windows xp installed and even though it was pretty hard to make a correct installation, thankfully it got install with no problems. Well, almost without problems! You see, my screen resolution is 800x600 and it is really annoying. When i try to change it, the bar doesn't move at all. I searched in google and saw some sites that were advising me to install some drivers. But.. I don't know how to see what drivers I need, where to download them from and how to install them; every help could be useful! :) Btw, I have Toshiba NB 200. Many thanks

My OS is Win xp, sp3, home ed. I have a Toshiba 320 GB USB external hard drive which has been performing very well until lately. The Toshiba drive starts out by turning on and off or running the Auto-play mode. An Autoplay box opens to tell me the device has mixed content and gives me a set of options so I pick “No action”. Somehow the computer sees the Toshiba drive as a CD! The Toshiba turns on and off for a long time (5-10 min) then it settles down, stays on and I can go in and out of it to enter or retrieve info normally. I have gone into the Device manager and other places and re-set all the Defaults where I can. This is a disturbing issue as I wish to have a dependable External drive instead of this “shaky” Drive but I believe the issue is in Windows Explorer and not the Toshiba drive. My latest effort was to re set the Defaults in Auto-play and restart computer. Toshiba did it's on/off thing for a few minutes but no Auto-play thing and now it allows me to use it (Toshiba) normally! It's a little disturbing but I can live with it so long as the stored material is safe. Why does win. explorer see the storage drive as a CD? Is this a Services issue? Thanks for your feedback and help in this matter, Jim :D
