    Memory Stick Pro DUO anyone?

    All, When I first received my DV1000, the built-in memory card slots didn't work at all. I sent the unit in for warranty repair and they replaced the whole motherboard to fix the issue. Now the slots read/write to SD and standard MS cards, but not to the MS Pro Duo cards that my Sony DSC-T1...

    Actually, I'm having trouble with any card in my card reader (see previous posts). The hardware is recognized, but I have yet to get a memory card to be recognized. Hopefully the (supposed) BIOS update will help as I don't want to relinquish my notebook to HP for 2 weeks to get fixed if it's...

    Thanks for the reply, but the main point of my issue #2 was that all of the bundled DVD player applications assume that the display is 4:3 as are the majority of laptop displays. As such, in full screen mode, it shows the movie on a virtual 4:3 canvas centered on the laptop's 15:9 widescreen...

    Ok - so I finally received my fully decked-out dv1000. Everything so far is going great except for two things that HP tech support has been unable to help me with: 1. The memory card reader is refusing to read my MS Duo Pro cards when inserted in the memory card reader with the Duo adapter...
