Annoyance when plugging Razr into computer's USB

This new Razr HD is my third Verizon/Motorola phone. When I connect it to my computer via USB (usually for recharging, but sometimes to access files) three things occur that were never a problem with previous Droids. I'd love some way to "fix" all three of these:
• Windows UAC (User Account Control) opens, telling me that there is a new driver from Motorola that must be installed. I click YES ... and presumably it does install. But this happens EVERY time I connect the phone! I'd think that just one YES would be enough. How can I make this stop? (Turning off UAC isn't an option.)
• My browser opens to a page asking me to consider upgrading to Backup Assistant Plus. Truly annoying. Can this be turned off?
• My computer is set up so that double-clicking a JPG file will OPEN it in Photoshop. Not the JPG files on my phone, however. They're targeted to PREVIEW in Windows Photo Viewer. I'd like them to automatically open in Photoshop, like all other JPGs. This is a MINOR annoyance ... I can RIGHT-click these JPGs and choose OPEN from the context menu ... but I'd still like it to conform to how all other JPGs respond to a double-click. (The option of changing the default with "Open as" isn't available.)
Very grateful for any answers ... thanks very much!

Thanks for your help, but...........
I’ve been using a Droid X for the last couple of years, before getting this Razr. The problem with the UAC was NEVER an issue with the Droid X. Nothing has changed in Windows. This is a problem that did NOT exist with the Droid X, and it DOES exist with the Razr. Not Microsoft’s fault ... it’s a Droid problem.
Yes, I got the answer about the Backup Assistant thing ... fixed it. Thanks.
The setting for what happens when I double-click a JPG file in my phone has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Windows or with Photoshop. It is a problem with the phone ... period. The screen-shot on the left, below, shows the context menu when I right-click a JPG file on my hard drive ... the DEFAULT ACTION is in bold ... OPEN. The screen-shot on the right, below, shows the context menu when I right-click a JPG file on my phone ... the DEFAULT ACTION is in bold ... PREVIEW. That’s completely a function of the phone ... not Windows, not Photoshop.
Thanks.

When plugging iPhone into computer to sync DELL computer shuts down

I am trying to sync my iPhone (adding new music). When I plug my phone into my DELL computer , it first recognizes the hardware , then computer screen goes blank. I have tried different USB ports.
I get an error saying NET Framework, and have tried to install this software but then it says not compatible.
Also I called support and the rep suggested to open MSN as my browser and that did help previously, but now I am having the same problem with my computer screen going blank when I plug in my phone.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to do?

Does it display a blue screen with diagnostic information before shutting down? Do you have a scanner or Webcam? If so you need to upgrade the drivers for these. See

Error 0x0000007E when plug iPad into computer

When I plugged my ipad1 in to iTunes to sync music it shut down my computer. The blue screen message was stop: 0x0000007E. Just before it shiut down the computer popped up with the message new digital camera device. I have no new device. iPod works fine. I have restarted over 6 times and tried to find devices but to not avail.

Google the code displayed on the screen (as embodied above) and there are plenty of hits which deal with this matter.

Try:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph.
Is the iPod that connects an iPod touch? If not that does not mean anything since iOS devices like iPod touch, iPhone and iPad use different drivers than other iPods.

I just downloaded version 7.1.1 and my phone is stuck on a screen showing me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes. When I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to do a hard restore. Doing this, it says it will go back to factory

how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?

You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.
