    My computer is no longer automatically recognizes all the devices inserted into readers, like a CD or SD card photo. Recently I bought a micro sd card for my phone, but when I insert in the USB port, it recognizes that no more. How to do that everything works again. I have XP Service Pack 2

    Hi Danny Bralski,
     
    -Did you change on your computer before this problem?
     
    Follow the steps listed in the order.
     

    Method 1: Check if the USB port is defective.

    If you connect a USB device to a defective port, the device will not work. Try connecting the device to a different port. If all USB ports are in use, disconnect one of the other devices and plug the problematic device into that port.

    Method 2: Check if there is a problem with the device.

    If you have another computer that is working properly, plug this computer to see if you encounter the same problem. If you have the same problem, there could be a problem with the unit.

    If you believe that your device is defective, contact the manufacturer.

    Method 3: Run the troubleshooter from the link given below:

  • My guard computer shut down unexpectedly when I play games.

    My guard computer shut down unexpectedly when I play games. Now it is not always the case, just sometimes. The other day I was playing Sims 3 all day, literally, with the graphics settings maxed out and had no problem. The next day, he would crash as soon as it finished loading, even with the graphics settings at the bottom. Today, it was working fine this morning and now it crashes again. I had the same problem on and off with other games as well, Halo 2, Kings Bounty, UT 3. Here is my system:

    OS - Vista Ultimate 32 bit
    Processor: Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2 .66GHz
    RAM - 4 x 1 GB PC6400 DDR2/800
    MB - MSI P7N SLI - FI
    HARD drive - 150 GB x 2 (Raid 0) Raptor 10 k RPM
    PSU - 1000 watts
    GPU - NVidia GeForce 9800GT 1 GB (x 2 in SLI)

    And the error I get from Event Viewer:

    Filter event with the query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Processor' AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace '//./root/CIMV2' because of error 0 x 80041003.» Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is resolved.

    I got the error almost everyday since I got the computer, about 10 months ago, but it only blocks the computer if I play a game. I tried the 'fix' that removes the WMI event viewer 10 error, but everything done was make sure the error is not logged. I also tried another fix I found me delete the files in the repository, but that no longer works. I also run scans of complete system of virus/malware Spybot Search & Destroy and AVG 8 and verified the updated driver for my hardware. I also ran diagnostic tool memory. Who has good/clean/current. Can it be fixed or what I have to reinstall the OS?

    Hi JerHekSr,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    The first thing that comes to mind would be to check the motherboard manufacturer for an update of the firmware/BIOS.

    The error message mentions "loadpercentage > 99' which looks like you are running may at maximum load of the CPU while the game and that is the cause of the crash. You could try a clean boot to prevent the using CPU resources while you play to see if it makes a difference of strtup programs.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista by performing a clean boot. This article also describes how to start the Windows Installer service and how to reset the computer so that it starts as usual.

    Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

    If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

    b. click Start collapse this image enlarge this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    The collapse of this image to this image if you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue .

    c. under the general tab, click Selective startup , and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

    d. on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box and then click on disable all .

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    e. click OK , and then click restart .

    Step 2: Enable half the services

    a. follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

    b. click on the Services tab and then click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box.

    c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

    d. click OK and then click restart .

    Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one service is selected in the list of services , and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

    a. perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

    b. click on the Startup tab and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

    c. click OK , and then click restart .

    Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

    Step 6: Resolve the problem

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click on start to reduce this image enlarge this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    The collapse of this image to this image if you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue .

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK .

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart .

    I hope this helps. Chris

  • Audio CD does not automatically play when the CD is inserted

    I have my settings set to read a CD automatically when the CD is inserted.  I insert an audio CD, and nothing happens.  No music.

    Hello

    Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

    (1) made audio CD playback with Windows Media Player or any other third party software?

    (2) have you been able to use this feature before? If so what are the recent changes on the computer?

    Windows does not read the CD-Roma automatically if you only use the real-mode CD-ROM drivers. Protected mode drivers are called to play CD-ROMs automatically when you insert them into your CD-ROM drive.

    To manually change your auto CD play settings in Windows Vista

    1. open the control panel by going to the start menu.

    2. double-click on the default programs icon.

    Now choose the third setting down. Change AutoPlay settings.

    4. now you can choose which action to perform with which program.
    5. press on the drop-down menu to make your choice.

    Response please back and let us know if this helped with your question or let us know if you need more assistance.

  • Launch of Windows updates is no longer automatically search updates

    Original title: Windows 7 updates

    About 5 months ago, updates of Windows 7 has worked like a charm. I could reboot a computer, install SP1 from the cd and when I launched Windows updates he would find them and there we went. But for the lst 4-5 months it was harder to get updates and for several weeks, it is almost impossible. When I run the application updated Windows he's looking for is no longer automatically updates, I have to say it looks like. Then, the computer can settle there as long as two days before finding the updates. I have two computers with own loads on my bench right now doing so. Once has been looking for updates since Monday afternoon. The others finally fond some yeaterday late but now still looking for more. I tried the tool of Microsoft 'fixit' without change.  What happened to windows update to windows 7? My only guess is that Microsoft has run on a machine Win 98 486 trying to force everyone to go to 10 Windows. It is a totally unacceptable process that needs to be repaired.

    When I use the ShareThis button in Google Reader, a new tab opens in Firefox. Previously, after hitting the button submit, the tab would close automatically, but after the most recent update, happens more. In fact, the tab repeatedly reloads when I click on submit, sometimes repeatedly posting the same article. Anyone know why the tab no longer automatically closes and how this can be fixed?

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
