All...thanks so much for posting these....I had the same problem. I was getting ready to RMA and with all of your notes I am not going to do it. I tried using AA batteries as Flip support told me they would last for weeks....Not so much....AA lasts for 1 hour at best. So I tried regular Duracell rechargeable batteries and they worked like a champ. I also reinserted the Flip battery and now it is charging in my PC ok. One thing I noticed is that the generic wall chargers work the worst. They "overheat" the unit very quickly; so unfortunately I am not going to use it. Good luck.....

The KQ246AA webcam was a waste of time and money. It says on the box that it is Windows 7 32bit and 64bit compatible, but it is not! I was on the phone with an idiot from India for an hour who could not get it to work. He suggested that I take it back and get a different webcam.

Same senario as the rest for me. I do a lot of data entry with my keypad for inventory at work it was great to walk around and just leave the comp and just use the keypad. I also used the mouse for gaming. It worked fine for a short period of time. I only used the both maybe 10 times then I had all kinds of problems it has been very frustrating and I deffinately wouldn't recommend this equipment to anyone else.

I went through 2 of these. It goes offline after awhile & the only way to reset it is to unplug & plug it back in. Next step was to ship the second one to HP for repair. A re-manufactured replacement arrived yesterday minus a bezel & paper tray. Right now HP is not my favorite company. Assuming they courier me a bezel & tray and this still does not work, I am shipping it back at their expense & asking them to refund what I paid for it. I almost gave away my separate fax machine. Now I am keeping it just in case.

Polycomm is consistent in its disdain and absolute rejection of Apple OS X through out most all its products. This small speaker phone is just one more example of a company that evangelizes, if only partiallly (no Vista spt) Microsoft as the Saviour IT resources. I wonder what will happen when Google buys out MS?

I agree that the HD seemsfine but the Virtual CD sucks. I am in the midst of it crashing all the time.

Just check though because this doesn't work with some of the boxes supplied by internet providers, because of the coding. Just google it before you buy!

Just get it replaced! You'll always regret it if you don't!

I have had this problem with two Flip Ultra HDs and was ready to return my second one, when I tried this advice and it worked for me as well. Thanks.

I am sick and tired of trying to set up the wireless network on this printer! I have had this for a while but do not use it as much as I like but every time I try to use it I can not connect through the wireless network. When I can I blow out my internet. Than when I do get it connected right I can not print through Photoshop! I have to transfer to a thumb drive and print from that. I am totaly not happy right now with this printer. And of course I am stuck with it now (waste of my money). I have no time to try to contact tech support I have a life!

I have followed instructions step-by-step but did not get it worikng on vista64 due to problem with installation of printerports. "New port could not be created" and installations stops. I did get the printer working over LAN (that printerport was installed, i had to select it manually) but the other port (fax) was not installed and I can not use it.
How did you get it installed?
It is a shame having a AIO that can be used to print only....

I bought the Drobo before buying the Droboshare: What a huge disappointment! The Drobo works fine when attached to your computer but plug in the Droboshare and all of a sudden everything slows down. Had I known then what I know now I wouldn’t have bothered! A complete waste of money on the Droboshare. Everything else seems fine.

e-user001's advice mostly worked for me. a few times it would still say "charging paused" and then i charged it again later.

I have also had the same problems. I purchased one from costco and got the 'I'm too hot' error (my apt gets up to 80 deg, but none of my other equipment has problems). I returned the first one and got another one, but there's the same problem. The flip products have a great design, but their tech support is clueless. They first told me that the device didn't have a heat related error, so I sent them the screen shot of it. Now they want me to RMA it at my own expense. I told I would do it if they paid for the shipping and sent me a replacement, but they didn't go for that. I think the whole HD product line has hardware problems. So now the dilemma is that none of their competitors (sony and kodak) have 2 hours of battery life and storage, so there's nothing I can replace it with. Anyone have any alternative-product suggestions? I need HD and 2 hours of recording time.

e-user001, I have a question about your instructions. When you say "safe eject your camcorder from your computer" I think you mean to use the "safe eject" feature of Windows, but not to physically disconnect the Flip from the USB port. So, when you then say "reconnect your camcorder to your computer", how do you do this? The Flip is already plugged in to the USB port, what more can I do?

I tried the safe eject, but my Flip still seems to cycle between charging and telling me to check the battery pack.
