I ran into a problem with a Scan and Fix error when plugging in a USB device while using Vista or Windows 7. This one has been bugging me for quite some time so I decided to find a fix for it. I found a great article by Mark Flavin that pretty much always fixes this problem.

The next evolution of windows is upon us. Windows XP was a great operating system and still to this day holds it’s own but it’s aging. Our hardware has advanced so far that XP just can’t keep up. For example, multi-core processors have become the leading technology, the Mhz race is over. XP was written for the Mhz race but we are out of that now and we need an operating system that will cater to our needs. Enter Windows Seven!
Windows 7 has many new features one of which is improved security. To achieve better security Microsoft implemented something called “Action Center”. According to neowin.net “Windows 7 Action Center is a one stop place where you can find system maintenance information, security information and also troubleshoot computer problems if any.”
I have a Dell D820 with Windows 7 RC installed. The other day after a full charge I was suddenly told by windows that I should consider replacing my battery. So I started thinking my battery was dead, well that’s great. Then I remembered that dell batteries have a tester built into them to tell when they go bad. Fortunately the battery was good, unfortunately I found out that Windows 7 RC has a major battery bug.
Well it’s been a little while since I have written anything on technology so today I have a new problem and solution for you. The HP F4140 copy, scan, printer is an el-cheapo printer from Wal-Mart, I think I paid $50 for it. It worked great when I was using XP and just as good on Vista Ultimate x64 but now that I’m running Windows 7 the only thing I can get it to do is print.
