My CD drive on my Dell 2400 appears disabled (on Admin Managemnt yellow exclamation point) as this is my plugin dvd recordr/cd player recorder. How can I fix? Thank you
Locate your CD drive integrated in the device list manager.
Do a right click on it, it should appear a window with "Disable"... 'Enable '.
Click Activate.
It is a possibility, the other is...
The fact that you are also using EXTERNAL units could be the 'reason' why one integrated disabled to start with.
The USB in the BIOS setting must be wrong... to do this.
In addition, the "HALT ON...» ' Command, in the BIOS, will not. (It is possible that the "Halt" command is... ON "ALL ERRORS").
Assign to this... "WITHOUT ERRORS".
This should cure the problem of USB connection (for external use) disable your "built-in" CD player

I can't find an answer to this question. I save pictures of sites .gov to accompany the latest news that I write. I work as a standard user and don't use the account administrator to computer problems. But when I save pictures and PDF files that they do not appear on my desk or in my photos, instead, they go to the administrative account. I end up having to go to the admin acct send to me, so I can access it on my standard user account. How can I fix?
Thank you, make it a great day!
When you save the photo, enter
C:
in the file name box, press ENTER to go. This will show the top part of your hard drive. Now, open the users folder and find the right place to save. This will save appropriately instead of the other account.

Hello
Google has no informatrion on this (ufohudusiboqudo.dll), so it's probably the Malware that your Antivirus has deleted, but who left a start for her entry.
Download, install, update and scan with the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
If the error persists after scanning, use this FREE program to delete startup entries:
This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP
