computer crashed will not restore c drive is damaged
my computer crashed and won't work for all programs in normal mode. In safe mode, I can get the internet, do not react in windows programs and is unable to find a just solution freezes. I tried to remove programs and the system restore, but it keeps telling me that the c drive is corrupt. I'm not computer savy but need my computer to work all programs. I don't know if that helps, but the usb ports do not register the printer mp4 player or my camera. It's terrible, all help to restore my computer would be appreciated... Even windows media player and windows media center are declining.
Go to start / programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type chkdsk /f /r and enter. This will check and try to correct errors on your hard drive (as applicable). It may need to remove bad sectors (which could cause more problems that files located in these areas may be lost - but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it - fix your hard drive is the first priority). If it finds a large number of bad sectors, your hard drive may be faulty and will need to be replaced.
Let us know the results of the scan, chkdsk/f/r, and we will go from there.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
P.S. If you can't run Chkdsk from safe mode, try to start the installation disc Windows Vista genuine or your recovery disc (if you have one) and run it from the command prompt here. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

I have a pavilion p6130fpc and it will not see the drives.
I have a pavilion p6130fpc that will not see the drives. I tried 3 different hard drives and change the cable and port twice. I have also reset the BIOS and pressed the power button for five seconds after you disconnect without success. Someone at - it any other ideas?
Willman,
Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.

I am trying to download an application on my cable company, but it won't be over because my computer 'administrator' will not allow him. How to solve this. I'm the only person using the computer.
Start > run > control userpasswords2 > OK
will take you to what you need to access and change permissions for logon not required
On the users tab uncheck users must enter a user name and password to use this computer
other options are available to facilitate access
If a default administrator password has been entered it would probably be adminpass or empty field
In both cases, it would be entered twice or white field, then move the cursor to confirm the blank
as non-existent password then confirm white... you see an empty field is itself a password.

Win XP will not find the driver for my Canon Sx10 camera.
Windows XP will not load the driver for my Canon SX10 camera. I had the camera for 3 years and have never had a problem with this load. I reinstalled XP and the same problem. Windows recognizes the camera but will not load the driver for it.
I'll in Device Manager through the update hardware wizard I have try to install the driver manually, but I don't get the option of all available drivers.
There is no drivers for this camera online, because I thought that Windows has the driver for this device.
Thanks for the help,
IanThanks for the reply. I reinstalled windows and it works fine now. I didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything.

I tried to connect to Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 to internet using Wi - Fi to my labtop. I want to enable sharing on this topic in the Advanced tab, but I get the message that says WMI is damaged and I need to use the system restore. However, the system restore will not restore the system at any time I choose. What is the solution?
OK you have an ETHERNET cable? (cable for PC to the Modem)
What OS do you have?Heres to help, you need to an ethernet cable, or adapter wireless XBOX 360.
With the ethernet cable, connect one end on the XBOX and one end to your laptop.
You go to control panel > network and Internet > network and sharing Center > change the adapter settings. Then you select your wireless network and your local network. Then you right click and press 'CONNECTION of BRIDGE' (requires administrator privileges). After that your DONE! Just check if it works on your XBOX 360! -
Hi all
I have a hp56 and some of the computer keys will not type - y at - it an easy solution anyone who knows very little about computers can do? Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul,.
This could be a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.
Open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand keyboards, right-click on the "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" entry and select uninstall.
Shut down the laptop - if you're running Windows 8/8.1, do it by holding down the button SHIFT left click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
Then disconnect the AC adapter and then remove the battery. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu. Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER. Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.
Kind regards

My blackberry blackBerry smartphones will not restore my backup
Hello
I have a BB Storm 2 and I save a lot.
I also use google sync to synchronize my address book and calendar.
Last night I synces again and it failed. So I tried a few times more. Disconnection, signed back in and after a while, it worked.
But what I did not notice until this morning that it totally screwed up my address book. Some of the contacts I have had about 75 times. And I lost most of my contacts.
So in my gmail I lost them.
But not a problem. I supported two days ago. But now it will not restore. It does something to my BB, it changes everything, but doesn't I want to restore. So I tried a full restore, a partial restore a different backup, turn off the BB. Everything!
First I tried with the former office and later by the new software. It does not work.
So help me please!
(If my English is strange, I'm from the Netherlands...)
When you say a partial restore do you mean that you tried to restore all the address book? If this is the case, you can try clear the address book database, and then perform a hard reset on your device by removing the battery for a few seconds and replace, then try to restore the address book from the backup file
