1.Network Printer not shown in Add Printer Wizard

Hi, I am completing the to-do list and now I am required to install a 
printer. We have a Brother 5170ND networked printer (it has NIC card), 
however when completing the add printer wizard this is not shown when 
scanning the network. I have tried installing the drivers first and this 
finds the printer but fails on "PRINTER - OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. 
THE SPECIFIED PORT IS UNKNOWN). I know the IP address for the printer. I 
would appreciate any help you can offer.

2.Vista 64 system tray shows no network or UPS after latest update

Vista 64, 2GB, Pentium D, fully patched - which may be the problem - and 
client for WHS PP1 on a Shuttle SS31T.

After the latest updates the system tray on my Vista 64 workstation is 
showing that the network (NIC is SiS 190, all parameters via DHCP, IPv4 only 
- IPv6 is disabled) is disconnected and the UPS (APC via USB) is not present 
- both have red Xs. But both are there as a quick trip to Device Manager 
shows. And I wouldn't be typing this if the network were faulty.

There's nothing of interest in the event logs. Disconnecting and 
reconnecting makes no difference for either. I've tried repairing the network 
connection and re-detecting hardware, all to no avail.

So which updates has / have caused this error?

4.my portable mp3 player shows up multiple times in contents pane in

In WMP10, my current portable mp3 player shows up 3 times. Also, my old mp3 
player which I no longer own still shows up. This is connected with 
formatting my portable mp3 player, and reloading it again with music from 
scratch in WMP10. Any ideas how to remove all the devices from WMP10 so I can 
restart? I found this info on the README file for wmp10 (see below) -- 
however the "right click & delete" mentioned in the last sentence does not 
work for me.  I also tried reinstalling, but the devices were still there.

Thanks, Ron

Formatting a device may not remove the device category from your library
If you format a device, either in My Computer or by clicking the Format 
storage media button in the Items to Sync pane (the left side of Sync), all 
data is erased from the device. However, if a partnership existed between the 
Player and the formatted device, the device category may remain in the 
Contents pane in your library. The device category is created in the Contents 
pane when you synchronize content to a device for the first time. The 
category name is the same as the device name and the subcategories are the 
playlists that you selected to be synchronized.

If you connect the formatted device to your computer at a later time, 
Windows Media Player starts the Device Setup Wizard, which helps you set up 
automatic or manual synchronization between the Player and the device. A new 
device category will be created in the Contents pane when you synchronize 
content to the device under this new partnership. If duplicate device 
category names appear in the Contents pane, either rename the device or 
delete the old device category.

To rename the device, do the following:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Devices tab, click the portable device in the Devices list, and then 
click Properties.
On the Synchronize tab, in the Device name box, enter a new name for the 
device.
Refresh the Contents pane by clicking another feature tab in the Player 
(such as Now Playing), and then clicking Library.
The new device name category is displayed in the Contents pane.
***********************************************************
To delete a device name category, do the following:
In the Contents pane, right-click the device name category that you want to 
delete, and then click Delete.

5.Recording Multiple Shows at the Same Time

I have a need to record up to 5 programs at the same time on different 
channels. Currently, we have 5 VCRs set up to do this, but they are a pain. 
How many tuners can Media Center handle at once? Can it handle 5?(as long as 
the computer has room for 5)
