• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

• All of a sudden my AutoPlay does not work. I tried changing the settings but nothing seems to work. Help, please.

  It was just after I downloaded a newer version of itunes.  I tried to do a system restore on it, but it did not help.

  I was wondering... you already tried system restore...
  It restore your system but just don't
  fix AutoPlay?

  Or... She didn't have to restore your system?

• Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

  I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

  Hello

  Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
  the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

  Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
  role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

• Startup and display does not work well.

  When I start Windows XP it takes about 4 minutes to the icons appears.  They appear of normal size and the screen turns white and the size of the icons and programs and the internet are extra-large. I go into display properties and reconfigure and find his game on 8-bit!  After configuration back to normal display and restart or turn on again the same thing happens!

  Also, I tried to do a system restore and it does not work either. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you!

  Hi RhondaHeaven,

  I suspect that your display card drivers are corrupted. You have your cd/dvd drivers? If this is not the case, download your display drivers (you will get the model and make from Device Manager - click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> device-> display adapter Manager).

  Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> Device Manager-> right click on your display-> Uninstall adapter.

  Uninstall display drivers Intel of add/remove programs.

  Restart your computer. Reinstall the drivers from the cd or downloaded driver.

  I hope this helps.

• I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

  I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

• How to fix error 0 x 81000031. I tried recommended default restore libraries and it does not work.

  I'm unable to use the backup feature in Windows 7.  I get the error message 0 x 81000031.  Have you tried the recommended solution and it does not work.

  Hi married,

  Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

  From your post, it seems that you have found an error 0 x 81000031 when you try to perform a backup.

  1. When you say "Feature backup in Windows 7" are you referring to the utility of Windows backup program? If so, you can follow the instructions below.

  2. you save data on a CD/DVD, external hard drive or a network drive?

  When you save the data to an external hard drive, have you tried "scenario 2: BitLocker Drive encryption is activated'? '"

  If the problem still persists, try the following:

  Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check if you backup works very well.

  See: How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?
