I have a sony cybershot S600. It used to automatically bring up a window when I plugged it into my usb and ask where i wanted to import the pics to. Suddenly it has stopped doing this and I get a different window wanting me to use a windows wizard which is awful and not convenient at all. I have a feeling my son has been fiddling with the keys but not sure. Any useful suggestions would be most welcome.
When this window popped up, someone has ticked the box "always complete the selected action" (or whatever it says), and then clicked on the Scanner and Camera Wizard.
Unfortunately though, I'm not sure what to do to fix it. If you try opening "my computer" or windows explorer, you should be able to see the camera. Right click on it and choose explore. You should be able to view the files on the camera and copy them onto your computer.
Otherwise, someone out there must know how to change the option which was selected.
Light Electric Can you power a light bulb with an electric motor?
I know that spinning an electric motor makes electricity, it's what they use at Hoover Dam. If you were to spin a motor by hand, and hook two wires from it to a light bulb, would it work?
Used as you describe, it wouldn't be a motor, but a generator. It would work only if the motor you start with was capable of providing back EMF when forced to rotate.
Remember that a motor is optimized to turn electrical energy into mechanical, so you would likely have a poor efficiency of conversion in the opposite direction.........
Think of the generators used to light bicycle lights by letting the tire spin a serrated wheel on the generator drive shaft.

How to light electric pilot light?
The pilot light in my gas furnace heater went out. The pilot light is electronic. I was told that there might be instructions printed somewhere on the heater but I cannot find any. What is the process to relight the pilot?
An electric pilot is not a constant burning flame. it creates a spark that lights the burner. If it is working correctly you should hear a clicking sound and then the burner will light. The appliance needs to be connected to and electric outlet also.
