• I am not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer and get the message as Windows Explorer (not responding)

  Original title: I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer

  I'm not able to open anything that uses Windows Explorer.

  When I try to open: My Documents, Control Panel, any Office application, etc. - the window remains empty and said "Windows Explorer (not responding)."  My desktop icons are filled and I am able to open the Task Manager.

  Any help is greatly appreciated?  Also, I'm not a technology person, so please be very percise.

  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for the help.

  I had installed the update of MS Windows Defender KB915597.  After doing a restore to the point of restoration, taken at the time of the update, I am now able to open Windows Explorer.

  Seems that something in this update does not work with my system.  I have had no other problems with Windows Defender updates in the past - it was the first.

  Thank you.

• [SOLVED] "High Definition Audio Controller" could not be started. "No audio devices installed." The Device Manager has no controller "Sound and video game. Information system has nothing under "audio devices".

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for 2 or 3 years, and the sound was always very well. Yesterday morning my computer came suddenly with the sound with a red X icon. She was not dumb, and yet no sound came. The sound options show that no audio or recording devices are installed (for disabled AND disconnected devices). There is no 'of sound devices or video game"in Device Manager. Information system shows no information (empty) under its device. However, in Device Manager, under system devices, "High Definition Audio Controller" has a yellow caution icon and cannot start.
  I have not installed a new OS or anything recently.
  I have a Dell Inspiron 1545
  Windows 7 Home Premium
  Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601 Build 7601)
  Pentium Dual-Core CPU
  64-bit operating system
  I tried:
  • Relocation and reactivation of "High Definition Audio Controller". I rebooted. No change.
  • Go to the Dell website, download audio drivers for my label service and installation. We decompress in the drivers folder and nothing happens. One will be unzip, try to take me by another plant for IDT Audio and then say 'the hardware found is not supported by this IDT' and is abandoned. I rebooted. No change.
  • Install drivers in safe mode. I rebooted. No change.
  • In administrative tools > Services, I found "Windows Audio". He had started and was on "auto". Six of its dependencies (3 parents, 3 children) had started and were to "automatic".
  • I looked at the system restore. There was a "critical update" this morning here. I restored to a point before update and restarted. No change.
  • Looked in the BIOS for an option on the sound, but could not find one. Restore the BIOS default and rebooted. No change.
  • Ran Microsoft Fix It I rebooted. No change.
  • By clicking on the audio task bar icon runs the diagnostic window thing. It detects a problem with the description: "material changes may not have been detected.
  • Put on the headphones. Nothing changes.

  I'll probably have to do a fresh install, am I not?
  I would be very grateful if you could help, thanks.

  Right, I fixed it myself.

  So I uninstalled "High Definition Audio Controller".
  But this time, instead of just turning it back on and let it install it himself, I clicked on "Analysis of the hardware changes" (under the Action). He finds that a new device called PCI something under other devices.

  Then I open up Windows Update and click on search for new updates (it also analyzes the drivers) and I think it just automatically reinstall "controller Audio high definition" and then there was no problem of yellow warning sign thing.

  If it does not, simply play in Device Manager with looking for changes on the hardware and the update of bollocks.

  If you're still stuck, try "Add inherited harware" (this will install an OLD device), click Advanced, click on "sound devices" and video games, wait a while, find a suitable device and continue the process...

• It says I need to update my video device driver? I found my device manager is empty, it is all the?

  When I try to play videos, they are very restless. It is said to update my video device driver. When I went to my device manager it was empty. I don't know how to solve these 2 problems. Can someone please?

  Thank you

  This can solve both problems, certainly the Virgin Device Manager.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/311504

  This is for XP, but I don't see why it wouldn't also apply to vista.

  SYMPTOMS

  When you open Device Manager, no devices appear in the list. Instead, a blank window appears.
   
  CAUSE
  This problem occurs if the Plug-and-Play service has been disabled (disabled).
   
  RESOLUTION
  To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click run, type services.msc and click OK.
  2. Double-click Plug-and-Play.

     If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

  3. In the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.
  4. Services nearby.
  5. Restart the computer.

  STATUS

  This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION
  Plug-and-Play is a main operating system service, and therefore, it is best to not disable. It works in normal mode and in safe mode.

• When I try to copy a file to an external device using Windows Explorer I get the following error message: "cannot copy. The directory or file cannot be created. »

  original title: could not copy files

  When I try to copy a file to an external device using Windows Explorer I get the following error message: "cannot copy.  The directory or file cannot be created. "I understand that I may have the physical limit of USB keys for the root directory.  How can I fix it?

  Hi GloriaZF,

  What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.

  You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows 8 crashed during the last update, now wants to save and may not do.

  Windows 8 crashed during the last update. Stuck at 30% for more than 4 hours before I finally pressed the power button to restart the system. Windows 8 Pro with Media Center now says system build 9200 at the bottom right of the screen.

  Whenever I try to activate Windows 8, it cannot connect. When you use the command prompt Windows + R and slui 3 with my purchased serial number I get Code 0 x 80070424. Description: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

  Hello

  This error can appear if your firewall settings prevent Windows to complete the online activation process. To resolve this problem, you can activate Windows by phone instead.

  1. Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on Search.
     (If you use a mouse, point to the upper right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then click find.)
  2. Type SLUI 04 in the search box, type or click on applicationsand then tap or click SLUI 04.

• DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

  After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
  It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
  Help, please

  Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

  Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

• DVD drive has disappeared from my computer and Device Manager lists

  The machine is an Acer laptop with a single disc DVD - RW Win Vista Home Premium 32 running with all the latest updates installed.

  I have not installed anything new (software or hardware), I know.

  The other day the player just stopped working and is no longer registered to each workstation or in the Device Manager list.

  While they inspected the system event logs there is a chain of...

  Event 7026 - the next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

  CDROM

  and...

  Event 11 atapi - driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.

  Event 9 atapi - the device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not within the time limit.

  Event 11 atapi - driver has detected an error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 controller.

  I know that the drive itself works well because when I initially turn on the laptop I can hear the drive spin upward and I'm able to eject the drawer, so there the power etc... but once in Windows the drive does not work or even appear anywhere.

  So far, I have tried.

  1. detection of new hardware in Device Manager

  2 - installing all IDE channels and let the system reinstall after re-booting

  3 running the Microsoft Fixit tool, it seems to point out that there is a problem and said fixed it, but nothing is actually fixed by that

  I noticed a few other posts which look similar to mine, but had trouble understanding if they truly are or not.  So apologies if this is a repeat of something already posted.

  OK tried the fixit tool still once, was not aware there were different tools for different issues.  I have the wrong tool launches the first time round.

  Anyway, the drive is still on holiday somewhere, fixit tool reports that it may not detect the drive at all, so that seems to indicate that he does not drive connected.

  Is it possible that the IDE cable has come off the promenade inside the laptop?  I hope that not because I just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure how to get to where the Player connects, but seems almost impossible... can get to all the rest, keyboard and screen disconnected, RAM, disk HARD etc, but the DVD player, not a hope!

  Looks like I'll take it to a service somewhere I guess.
