Hello

Do you see a red or yellow fringe for this hard drive on Device Manager?

Check if you can access the hard drive via disk management.

To start disk management:

1. connect you as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.

2. click onStart, click run, type compmgmt.msc, and then clickOK.

3. in the console tree, clickdisk management. The disk management window appears. Your disks and volumes appear in a view chart and the list view. Pour personnaliser customize your perception of your disks and volumes in the upper and lower panes of the window, point totop or bottom on the menu display , and then click the view you want to use.

If you are able to access the drive via Disk Manager, then try changing the drive letter and check if that helps.

  • USB external hard drive recognition problem

    I recently copied a large number of music files FLAC from a NAS drive to an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive into the USB port on my computer, it is not recognized or appear in the screen 'computer '. Instead, I have an icon in taskbar icon (bottom right of the screen) and when I fly over it says "safely remove hardware and eject the media.

    Please, what this mean and is there a problem with my external hard drive

    Start the disk with the connected player manager.

    In the lower panel, check disks and look at the left panel. It must indicate the status of the disc attached. If shown as a foreigner do a right click and "import foreign disks".

    This does not affect the data on the disk and not the alternative option of having to write a signature to the disk. You may also define a drive letter in the right side, until a drive has a letter, you can't see its contents.

    Hi johnd9913,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Have you checked if the correct settings have been selected for the microphone in the computer?

    Try to access to Control Panel > Sound > Audio. Check the Recording tab if Microphone is enabled and work. Click Configure , and then once see you the working driver (i.e., reacts to your voice), right click above and as the default value.

    Later try to put in place the voice recognition program under all programs > Accessories > accessibility > Windows speech recognition and try the different microphone settings until the edge, we respond to your voice.

    You can see the following link for more information on issues of speech recognition:

    have: windows xp3 sp3, viewsonic va800 monitor

    I went to the site of the Lim.  think that was part of the problem with saw to no support.  sent them an email / current.

    check microsoft to the drivers FRO viewsonic va800, except if someone can help with a good method of downloading drivers before hand.

    Hi Dave,.
    I could be wrong, but "Viewsonic va800" resembles a monitor?  I think that you need to update the drivers for your graphics card.  In Device Manager, look at "Graphics cards" (that's what they are called in Windows7, could be something different in xp...).

    Take a look at this site for more information: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/updatedriverxp.htm

    Because every PC is different (a different material) you're not going to find specific instructions, I'm afraid).

    Hope that helps.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - 152 Driver Update problems.

    Hi, I'm new to all this and just about managed to find my way to this Web site. I bought a Satellite as above new brand of PC World Business yesterday 22/10/08.
    I had horrible problems to install several updates of Windows that I finally had to install one by one with a re-boot after each update 'Important '.

    I took the laptop with Toshiba and now I'm using Tempro I 5 alerts telling me to install updates various...

    _3 updates the firmware and update of face recognition 1. _ I extracted the zip file and run the progs and get a message saying "this firmware is not compatible with the selected drive. Contact the manufacturer of your system for more information on formware updates available for this drive "."

    1 updating bios which finally ran with Windows Help and then gave the message «ROM date is not older than the date of the BIOS...» "whatever that means.

    I just bought a laptop, I didn't volunteer to become a technical wizz.
    It feels like I'm doing a work of Toshiba troubleshooting here, and I don't know what I'm doing. Can someone help me?
    Thanks, Guy

    Hey Buddy

    To be honest I don t understand why you react so panicly

    You have a laptop that has a pre-installed Vista OS.
    The fact is that this OS Vista was preinstalled on your laptop computer and for several days/weeks, Microsoft has published a large number of updates and so Vista downloaded and installed updates. But don t wonder about other updates. From time to time you will receive these patches! This is a common behavior of the OS.

    With regard to the Tempro tool;
    This tool informs you about new drivers available, tools or utilities on the Toshiba page.
    To be honest I wouldn t use it. Usually, it's really not important what and when a pilot a tool was released if your laptop runs without problem. I'm always this recommendation; never change a running system.

    Hope I could make a clarification.

    Good bye

  • Getting started with speech recognition problems

    I tried to use speech recognition on windows 7 but it does not recognize the new device (headset) and tells me that the language of the English of the United States, recognition does not match the language of the user interface.  Could be a missing driver and how do I get it installed.  I never had problems with windows to recognize a new device until I tried to use speech recognition.  I don't understand why I'm having a problem with the language; It will allow speech recognition to open so that I can use it.  Both are these problems related to a missing driver or could there be another reason?

    I tried to use speech recognition on windows 7 but it does not recognize the new device (headset) and tells me that the language of the English of the United States, recognition does not match the language of the user interface.

    To see what recognizer is to be used, speech recognition, open in the Panel. Click Advanced in the upper left corner of the word. Make sure that the language drop-down list Microsoft speech recognition for English system.

    To set up your microphone:

    • Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar to bottom left. It looks like this:
    • In the menu when you right click the speaker, select recording devices.
    • Make sure that the microphone you use (USB, with analog connectors or built into the computer) is set as the default value.
    • Speak into the microphone. The counter to the right of your microphone volume must move up and down like you're talking about. If it is not the case, click on properties, then on levels and level to about 75% of the value.

  • Game Minecraft OpenGL satellite L650 - driver update problem - PSK1E

    Hello

    I know that several posts have already highlighted this problem.

    I have a Satellite L650 PSK1EE.
    Sorry if this is not the right place to post but I could not find anywhere else to start a new thread.

    Essentially my children want to use * Minecraft * on this laptop. I downloaded it but get the error message that my graphics driver is not compatible opengl. I only have Intel. So I tried the usual driver updates, then I tried to download a generic Intel driver but I don't know which one is right.

    Once I have selected * chart * then * laptop graphics driver * s then I get the choice between 2nd or 3rd generation processors, accelerators and mobile chipsets, which none means nothing to me and I'm stuck.

    It seems that some people have managed to circumvent the built-in graphics card driver and update manually one this way, once you know what you download and then unzip and so on...

    Of course, I can waste my time.

    If anyone knows how to proceed, I'd be very grateful for any help so that I can stop spending hours Googling this.

    Thank you very much

  • Driver installation problem Windows XP Home on Satellite L450D-11 t

    I bought a laptop SATELLITE L450D-11 t with windows 7 and I want to use a USB stick for internet, but it requires a previous version of the operating system.
    So I installed windows xp, but on this site, it is not all drivers (motherboard, video, audio, network) compatible.

    Analysis of the situation, I found the driver for audio on the Realtek site but on the mother/video card driver, I have a few problems:
    the AMD 780 G chipset and the display hardware is an ATi Radeon HD 3200. On the AMD website, I found a package with all the necessary drivers, but during the installation of the system restarted itself each time I start the installation. I opened the event viewer to see if there is an error, but nothing.
    I restarted the pc mode provvisional: he can't complete the installation, but it gives an error "Unable to open driver for tracking" or something like that.

    Is there something wrong? I forgot to do something?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Why you n t take an another USB compatible with Windows 7? In my opinion, it would be easier to reinstall the whole laptop but ok, it s your decision ;)

    As far as I know the drivers on page AMD intended for office use only, so I think that they will not work on mobile chips. But maybe the only corrupt the downloaded driver files, then try to download again.

    As I've already said, I would choose another USB key. This laptop is designed for the new Windows 7 and everything should work properly on the new operating system.
