Well, I did try the Milan 2005 DVD (the official one) on the PSP (it has about the same display in res and size). It looked nothing short of awesome.

But it is gonna be my next must-have gadget (the 16GB touch, best price yet is $460 after a bit of bargaining) after I get a new computer monitor.

Could somebody help me? My computer, after a minute or so after start up, the start menu bar & all desktop icons would go away. I did a virus sweep, two things turned up, but I got rid of them. It still happens. I purchased RegClean, that didn't help. Oh, and Autoplay won't work. Can somebody help before I spend an enormous amount of money on Geek Squad coming out to help? I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic. Thanks!

they all look decent on the Classic to (not as sexy though I will admit). All these lithographs and driving lessons have set me back a little though. It's still a must buy though

The brand new lithos finally come back to haunt you....

I think Drew is probably your best bet, but I would say try and avoid Geek Squad at all costs. I know you might not have much of a choice, but a while back i had a key break off of my laptop keyboard and they told me that I'd have to pay $275 to replace it. I went on ebay and bought a key for $3 and did it myself. Best of luck! Sorry I can't help!

Don't worry, thanks for taking your time to respond. So Drew, can you help?

He's kind of our resident tech guru, but he's in Australia, so I have no idea what time it is there....he's usually on later in the evening (for me, at least). He'll definitely get back to you though.

Good, because I can't put up w/ restarting my computer to open a different program much longer

. I could go on my laptop, but all just about 9GB of my music is on this computer

And the laptop is slow

I certainly can try my best.

PLEASE back up anything important before you read any further, you do it all at your own risk....

Enabling AutoPlay in Windows Vista Home Basic / Premium / Business / Ultimate

When AutoPlay used to come up (if ever), I'd check the following: Click the Start orb (left-hand corner), click Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > AutoPlay.

To turn it on, click the 'Use AutoPlay for all media and devices' box and click Save. It should then work.

Missing icons and start bar in Windows Vista Home Basic / Premium / Business / Ultimate

Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and choose Task Manager. Click File > New and type explorer.exe - that should bring them back and if they stay you can certainly try this:

Go to Start and type regedit.exe and in the results, right-click regedit.exe and select the Run As Administrator option - if User Account Control comes up press Continue or type your password. Now, in the registry editor, navigate to the following Key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

With the Winlogon key selected, look in the right side window for the 'Shell" value. Double click Shell. In the Value Data box, you should see Explorer.exe and nothing else. If anything else is in that box, change it to Explorer.exe and click OK.

Exit the registry editor and restart the computer.

You could also try a Windows Repair or a System Restore

From World Clock estimates, if Jeremy (haytrain)'s time is about 10.30pm, it'd be 2.40pm in Australia, so from a rough guess, we're about sixteen hours apart.
