Need some Desktop Software Connection help.....PLEASE

Here's the deal. I've had my berry for a while, no problem. I used to be able to connect to my computer and use the desktop manager to swap photos, ring tones, music, etc between my comp and berry. I had some computer issues which involved me changing the power supply and video card as well as adding some ram.
Everything works fine, printer, mp3 player etc.
When I plug in my berry it doesn't do anything. It recognizes the memory card I have. But when I open up the media manager, it tells me there is no device installed, and all it sees is my media card.
Now everything works perfect on my wife's laptop (she has a berry too), but it doesn't work on mine. We both run old school 4.2 desktop software as well as the new 4.7+os.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4.2 twice, and it doesn't recognize my phone. I even go to connection settings and all it shows is COM ports. I found a USB option, but then it searches for the device and finds nothing.
So I decided to upgrade to desktop software 4.7. Downloaded it, installed it, and the same **bleep** thing happens. Doesn't recognize anything. Says I'm not connected. I'm starting to get really pissed off at this crap. I've never had any trouble before. I put 30 songs on here, and tons of pictures on my memory card...not a skipped beat ever.
I can easily go to my wife's laptop, plug in, and install/delete what I need and I'm done. The problem is none of my music/pics are on her laptop. SO I 'm having to bring them via Flash Drive to her laptop, and then install the items..but no luck on my comp.
I went to the control panel and did "add hardware" it showed a blackberry device was connected but it gave me the following error (using both versions of the desktop software)
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
Please help before I get really frustrated and toss my berry.

No internet connection(help please)

I have the model---> Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router
As I connect the ISPs dsl cable to router the internet light doesn't turn on! Also the phone became "dead"! when i put out the ISPs dsl cable the phone is well again!
The problem isn't the phone but why the router does not connect to the internet!
please help me!
thanx in advance

Please state the make and model of your modem.
I have tried to access web data on your OTE system. Since I don't speak Greek, I have only been able to find some basic information. Do you know what kind of "Internet Connection Type" you have from OTE? Common types include: Automatic Configuration - DHCP, PPPoE, Static IP, PPTP, L2TP. Also, do you know if OTE requires a "Host name" or "Domain name"?
Since you have already tried to setup the router a few times, you should reset the router to factory defaults, before trying to get it to work.   Please use the following procedure:
1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key.  You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, I would suggest that you simply try using the router the way it is, at its factory defaults. To do this, power down the entire system and unplug all devices from the wall. Connect an ethernet cable from your modem to the "Internet" port on your WRT54GL. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Test your system. Can you get an Internet connection? If not, power cycle the entire system, then try to get an Internet connection again.
If it still fails, then power down your system, and disconnect the modem from the router. Be sure the modem is disconnected from the router before you proceed. Then try the Easylink Advisor (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know what happens.

Blackberry desktop software modem help?

So here's the story: I formatted my laptop lost BDS, tried reinstalling but failed, eventually copied the whole blackberry desktop software folder from another pc to mine.
But that didn't fix my problem since it didn't detect my device so I ran over to blackberry's site and downloaded the usb and modem drivers. I installed them and yay it detects my phone (after I manually run blackberry device manager). Now the problem lies with the modem configuration (the whole reason why I got the desktop software in the first place) when I press the mobile internet button it takes me to the mobile internet settings but nothing happens, there is just a green circle loading icon to the right of the profile option. It doesn't do anything and I can't chose any settings I did wait for 20 mins but still nothing.
Please help

Hey CrimsonCloud,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
First thing I would suggest is performing a clean uninstall of BlackBerry® Desktop Software. Follow all of the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
Then restart your PC and go to www.blackberry.com/desktop to download the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software and install the software. If you receive any errors, please let me know the exact error message.
Once installed, restart the PC and when the computer is up and running, connect your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone via USB and it should install drivers.
Once you get a notification saying the drivers are now installed, open BlackBerry Desktop Software and then try to setup your tethering.
Let me know if you have any mroe questions.
Cheers.

Please Need to Modify code. Help please.

Ok you see this code here, it works perfectly for just 1 budgie class but I edited the budgie class and made it an array list with more than one budgie. How would I change the simulator code so it can support more than one budgie?
import java.util.Random;
public class Simulator
    // Instance variables
    private Cage cage;
    private int numberOfDays = 0;
    private Random r;
     // To die in 3 days, budgie must lose 50g body weight overall.
    public static final int DAILY_EXERCISE = 18; //PR
     * Constructor for objects of class Simulator
     * @param budgieCage, the cage on which to run the simulation.
    public Simulator(Cage budgieCage)
        cage = budgieCage;
        r = new Random();

                 * bird object assigned to the myBudgie variable in class cage.
                if(theBudgie != null)
                   // Code moved from below. PR
                   // Budgie gets older because a day has gone by.

As the requirements of your application increase you will end up with an messy bit of code that no one including you can read. The long term solution to this is to redesign application cleanly using proper design patterns (Do a google search and read about theses).
A quick solution would be, in keeping with the current trend in your design is to introduce another method that would take multiple simulation objects and iterate through theme. It would be better if you introduce a new class to do this. Here is an example.
class MultiSimulator{
    Collection<Simulator> sims;
    MultiSimulator(){
        sims = new HashSet<Simulator>();
    MultiSimulator(Collection<Simulator> sims){
       this.sims = sims;
    //other constructors as you need theme
    boolean addSim(Simulator sim){
        return sims.add(sim);
    boolean addSim(Cage budgieCage){
        return sims.add(new Simulator(budgieCage));
    boolean removeSim(Simulator sim){
        return sims.remove(sim);
      *Simiulate only one day
    void simulateAll(){
    void simulateAll(int days){
        //use for loop and iterator
    void simulate(Simulator sim){
    void simulate(Simulator sim,int days){
    // and any other methods you can think of
}

Hi,
Apple shop exchanged my iphone 3gs today. got home but it doesnt pick up the wifi. first the correct supplier appears then it says not connected.
both my mac and ipad is working on wifi (so did the previous phone) i ve tried rebooting, tried reset supplier...nothing works. can someone help please?
thanks

Yes, they should be able to verify that WiFi is working properly. If I just got a new phone & it didn't work perfectly, right out of the box, before I started restoring or whatever, I'd be right back where I got the phone.

Desktop Manager connection help needed

I have a new macbook running Snow Leopard and a Blackberry 9700 Bold running the RIM 5.0 software.
When I first got this Mac, I downloaded and installed desktop manager, and had no problems syncing my address book and calendar with the mac address book and calendar.
A few days ago I was attempting to clear the cache on Google Maps on my Bold, and it triggered JVM 102. I was unable to reload the apps from the mac, so I used my old PC and did a successful application loader. (formally worked in bb support doing this all day long, so i'm fairly certain this didnt cause the issue).
After this point, I can still sync with the PC with no problems, but the Mac will not connect to the device.
What happens is:
- Desktop manager begins "connecting to device"
- device asks if i want to turn on mass storage (selecting yes or no makes no difference)
- mac gains access to blackberry media card for a moment
- device gets solid red light, and reboots
- desktop manager says "waiting for device to restart"
- when device finishes booting, desktop manager says it was unable to connect
- mac gives errors about not ejecting properly
- bold reboots again
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop manager
I tried using pocketmac but i refuse to pay them 4.99 for the "free download" accellerator
I tried missing sync but the trial/beta is invalid and they want me to buy the full program
I went into library/preferences and deleted all blackberry/rim related files, as well as searched entire mac for any blackberry/rim/research in motion files and deleted them, restarted the mac, and reinstalled DM, still having same issue
Connected back to PC again, still able to sync with no problems
Please help or let me know if there is any other information needed to try and help!!

Hi hnigrone and welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums,

Desktop software connection password

I have recently changed my laptop and have just downloaded the Blackberry software so that I can transfer some pictures and sync my Bold. The problem is I don't remember the password from my initial setup. I am now at 5 connections and the next one will wipe my BB memory. How do I restart the process?

Hello,
You don't. The password you are entering is the user-created device security password, the one that you must enter on the device in order to unlock it whenever it is locked. There is no "master" or "override" password...only the user created password will succeed. If you fail the last time, your BB will wipe clean and you will have to restore from your most recent backup...or, if you have no backup, start all over (this time hopefully remembering the password you create). BBs remain the most secure mobile devices available, and this is one of those features that allows them to maintain that rating.
Good luck!

Connectivity help please..

Hi, I've been given a secondhand Palm Vx, I've connected to my laptop though I'm not able to sync with the laptop. It may be a software/driver issue. The palm hand held shows in device manager though carries the error:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
Can anybody help with software or driver versions that I might require to connect and where I can download them from. OS is XP pro and handheld is a Palm Vx and they are connected via serial/cradle to serial to usb adaptor (drivers installed) on com13.
Appreciate any help you can give.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

Have you installed Palm desktop? You need this in order to sync the device. Did you get the CD for the device too?
If you don't have the CD click on this link for the download of Palm desktop. Click on Download Palm desktop and then select your OS, device and then download.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Need some 'Find with Grep' help

Hi, all I have a long name directory,
and I want to find all the middle innitials in the names
so that I can add a dot to them.
right now I have the names like this:
Jon A Dow
I want to make them all into
Jon A. Dow
I thought If I could search for the Capitol letters with a space after them
that could work because the middle initials all have a single space following them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS
First time on the Forum,
if I'm posting in the wrong place please let me know

This was my first reply- for some reason it didn't post-
by the way where is reply button it seems to have vanished
Thanks Jongware!
works perfect for my needs.
I have two more questions (if any one is up for it)
how would I replace the double name with only one instance
of a name so that:
Jon Smith
Jon Smith
becomes:
Jon Smith
is it: "$1" ? (according to the logic of my first question)
also I'm looking for an automated way to color the names on the list. (there are more than 8,000 names)
for example: Every other name becomes 50% K and every third name becomes 30% K (?)
any and all answers are greatly appreciated,
also If I'm mis-stepping forum bounds please alert me and I will repost where my question belongs.
Thanks again
