    Click on "Continue/Install Anyway" and don't worry about it, nothing bad will happen to your PC.

    Yes, SE memory card slot can accept up to 4 GB of MS Duo Pro cards, but the highest MS Duo Pro nowadays is 2 GB, so you can rest assured that it can accept a 512 MB memory stick very easily.

    1... If you've took the smallest amount of time to read the proper pages regarding your question in the provided manual, or read some reviews about the phone before buying it, you'de have known why you can't play AVI files on your K750, this format (AVI) is "simply" not supported by K750.
    You'll have to convert your AVI files into 3GP or MPEG-4 -MPEG-4 is better cause its quality is higher- with a resolution of 176*144 to be able to view them on your K750 screen.
    2... Open the camera lens cover and move the joystick down to enter "Video" mode, click on "Settings", move the joystick to right-hand direction once to "Shoot mode" tab, select "High quality video", now you'll be able to record video as long as your memory can take.
    3... I don't know any, after knowing the AVI issue, you'll now be able to play all your videos after converting them to 3GP or MPEG-4 format, anyway, google for any video player software/application that is available for K750.

    Ericsson is a Swedish company and Sony of course is a Japanese company, their joint factories are located in Germany and China -there could be another factories in other countries, but these are the only two factories I'm aware of-, you should find the place of manufacturing located somewhere on the phone box/package and under the battery and the removable part of the camera casing hardware -it's not recommended to open the phone yourself, and of course it's not a smart thing to do to open the phone and void your warranty just to know where your piece has been manufactured at-.

    2. Not in general, some dust could be gathered underneath it making it lagging in a certain direction(s) or not working at that direction(s) at all, blowing some air in its hole can solve this issue pretty easily.
    Also, if you are not used/don't know how to master a highly touch-sensitive joystick, managing it could be a little troublesome to your thumb.

    There are some pre-created/preset folders and some system data that takes some place, anyway, you can perform a full format to the MS, go to phone "Menu", go to "File manager", click on "More" and then click on "Format ext.mem.", this should ease your mind.

    1st, the PC Suite should be installed with the phone NOT plugged into the PC.
    2nd, The phone should be switched OFF and C key is firmly pressed when plugging the USB cable into the phone for the 1st time after the PC Suite has been installed.
    3rd, there is a USB Cable Driver Update in SE web site located somewhere in Support page that should be downloaded.
    Now, after installing the PC Suite and plugging the phone into the USB cable, "Found new hardware wizard" should start -if it didn't start and the phone switched itself on, then C key wasn't pressed tight enough-, to install the first found hardware, point to the place of the downloaded USB Cable Driver Update, for the rest of found hardwares point to the bundled CD.
    Now your PC should easily communicate with your K750.
    Whenever you connect your USB cable into the phone, a "Removable Disk" should be present among your optical disks in "My Computer", this is your MS, open that location: "Removable Disk\MSSEMC\Media files" and you should find a preset folder for each data type, just select your files which you want to transfer into your K750 and use the regular copy/paste method for each data type in its assigned folder.
    You'll also find an icon on your desktop named "Sony Ericsson File Manager", that's your shared memory, open it -with the phone connected to the USB cable of course-, click on your phone name which you've assigned, and open both "Phone memory" folders, and also you'll find the same preset folders for each data type, follow the same steps which I described to you several moments ago to copy data into them.
    I recommend copying/transferring into the MS then transfer that data "internally" to the shared memory if ever needed -read the manual to learn how to move data from the MS to the shared memory and vice versa- for the transfer speed of the MS is much higher than that of the shared memory.

    Yes, no problems at all.

    First, read my post addressed to "Unidentified" in my posting down this page.
    Second, if they are both at the same output audio level yet W550 still higher than K750, then simply W550 is having/using a better/higher loud speaker -not sure about that cause I didn't hear W550 sound before, but if the audio level difference is true, this will be the only reason, unless some firmware issues are present-.
    Third, I'm not a mr !

                            when i cliked on the update ink on my computer it says the software has not passed by windows logo testing and continuing may impair or destabilize the operation of the system. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing
                            -what do i do??
                            -can anything happen to the computer??

                              In order to update your firmware do these:
                              Go to www.sony-ericsson.com and download a software called something like "sony-Ericsson update service". It's an installer about 30MB which needs the flash player to run.
                              When you do that just follow exactly as described the instructions on the screen & you're done. This program finds out on it's own your mobile's type & firmware version, downloads the latest and installs it.
                              I have already updated mine this way and I think it's really an easy thing to do. I have the K750i however and I don't have the slightest clue if this works on Vodafone's K750.
                              Good Luck!

                              THIS PHONE RULEZ :P

                                I believe that was in the past, if you wanted to change your K750 firmware into W800 firmware now, you'll have to use some un-official & un-supported illegal sites -such as davinci and others-, the official/supported/guaranteed sony ericsson update service doesn't allow us now to update a K750 device into/with W800 firmware.

                                - To learn how to manually update your firmware, please read my post addressed to "maani" in my posting in page 31 or 32 -just go to page two and manually change "1090p2.php" to "1090p31.php", or just add "p31" between "1090" and ".php" in the "Address" bar and press "Enter" to go directly to page 31-.
                                - To check your already installed & running firmware of your K750, get out of screen saver/clock mode by pressing back key -or by pressing * then right soft key (Unlock key) if you have turned the keybad lock value to On-, move the joystick to right direction once -ignore the application that will open, if any, and continue the combination-, press *, move the joystock to left direction twice, press *, move the joystick to left direction again, and finally press *, a "Service" menu will open, click on "Service info" then click on "Software info", the first line is your current working firmware.
                                - You can view/watch only 3GP and MPEG-4 video formats on your K750 device, just when you convert your AVI's or DVD's into one of these two resolutions -I prefer MPEg-4 for the sake of a higher quality-, make sure to down-scale their resolution to 176*144 to scale correctly with your K750 screen.
                                - Just google for it and you may find some -though you won't need any for/cause the media player built-in 5 bands equalizer with its preset settings, especially the "Mega BASS" setting, and the ability to manually tune/preset/tweak them, just do the job perfectly-.

                                      The hardware of W800 and k750 is the same, only changes software. By the way you may change SEk750i software with W800i.... And use walkman function in K750i even when the phone isn't turned on, like w800

                                        Since all settings have been used in conversion -among which of course are the correct resolution and audio output frequency settings-, then the problem isn't in the converted video itself, it could be a problem in the video engine in the firmware.
                                        Before updating the firmware, try to make a final conversion test using these settings just to make sure that nothing is missing, even the smallest piece, then see if it won't freeze or it will still do it to begin thinking about the firmware updating process -the settings are descriped for MPEGable X4 Live converter, but you should find the same settings in ImToo software-:

                                        Regadring W800 price, I'm sorry but I don't have its current price in Egypt.

                                        - No, nothing bad or wrong should happen to your device or your data during & after the updating process as long as you've followed the correct procedures -I recommend a data back-up step before updating the firmware, when you finish installing your device on your PC OS, you'll be able to send the data which is stored on your MS by opening this location: "My Computer\Removable Disk\MSSEMC\Media files" and your shared memory by going to that location: "Desktop\Sony Ericsson File Manager\(your phone name)\Phone memory\Phone memory", then enter each folder and copy all the data inside of it into any location in your HDD-.
                                        - It depends whether if you're facing bugs or not, or will benefit from/are interested in the added performance boost & features or not, check this page out and compare the pros. and cons. of your current working firmware and the latest firmware available -down the same first posting you'll find the method of how to check your current working firmware version-:

                                        - Open the camera lens cover, go to "Video" mode, click on "Settings", move the joystick once in right-hand direction to "Shoot mode" tab, and then select "High quality video", this should make your video recording goes unlimited till your memory is full.
                                        - Read the manual about it, in short, it's a word that makes the phone enters the hands-free/voice calling mode.
                                        - Go to phone menu, go to "Settings", move the joystick in right-hand direction till the last tab named "Connectivity", click on "Bluetooth", click on "Power save" and then select "Off", this should allow your device to connect to several devices at the same time.
                                        Read the manual please.

                                        Before you open the lens cover, just set the phone into silent mode, if you're in a country that isn't firm with privacy laws applying, the shutter sound will be muted.
                                        It's not about the firmware versions, we can't select which firmware to update to anyway as we're only allowed to update to the latest available firmware directly, it's about which country firmware are you using, check my post addressed to "maani" in my posting in page 31 or 32 -just go to page two and manually change "1090p2.php" to "1090p31.php", or just add "p31" between "1090" and ".php" in the "Address" bar and press "Enter" to go directly to page 31-, just make sure to choose another region & country that are also using your spoken language in step one if silent mode didn't mute the shutter sound.

                                        They need to be cleaned every now and then, just blow some air in its hole.

                                        Auto focus is more about quality, color rendering & blending is a lens responsibility which focusing has nothing to do with it.
