If i tried to format or delete some data from the USB drive it gives the message USB is wrtite protected whereas there is no such switch exists on the USB?

It is possible that the flash device has exhausted the limited number of over writes that are part of the flash card design. At some point it stops being Read/Write and becomes Read only. The number of R/W cycles may be reduced if the device is removed without being shut down by the software (normally by clicking of the 'Eject' option) properly.

There is not much to do except get a new device.

It depends on the capacity of the flash drive. A common 1.5 hour movie in a standard file type (.wmv, .mkv, etc) is about 700Mbs. An entire copy of a DVD, including menus and all of the extras, is usually 1-2Gbs.

So, if you have a 1Gb flash drive, yes it can hold a movie.

What does it mean to compress pictures on a flash drive?

It means to reduce the size of each picture so more can fit on the drive, since presumably the flash drive doesn't have a lot of space. However, when you compress a picture, that file will have lesson information so the quality of the photo will decrease, so it is important to retain your original pictures.

Programs like Picasa can easily reduce the file size of pictures by reducing the resolution/pixels in each photo. In addition, if your picture ends with the extention JPG or JPEG, it is already compressed, but of course, can be reduce further.

Can you add to files already on memory stick?

What can cause the headlights of a 1996 Chrysler LHS to stop working?

I have a 1995 LHS that I purchased new in which I now have 188,000 miles and in both instances of the head lights failing was due to an open circuit in the multi function switch that is located on and in the steering column. The parking lights still worked however, the low beam headlamps & euro lamps wouldn't. The high beam would only work if I pulled the multi function switch toward me & held it in place. I do most of my own maintanence however, since the steering wheel has to be pulled & column taken apart I went back to Chrysler. $350 with tax.

Check the fuses first. The high beams and low beams are controlled by different fuses.
