DVD disc drive tray keeps opening and closing constantly
FOR WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM EDITION
The device driver can say Arcsoft because it may have provided to Microsoft by them.
In Device Manager, open the Properties window for the drive, and then click the driver tab, then update driver... Click the search selection automatically. If it finds a driver, let it install.
If the drive still cycles, then you can have a bad drive. If it is still under warranty, contact the place of repair for repair or replacement.

My CD tray keeps opening and closing by itself. In addition, I can't open it in the button, I need to go from my and eject it.
I checked the bios and everythings fine; even updated.
I removed the front panel
I scanned with MalwareBytes malware; A large number of files but no associated with cd player
I went once cd players
I pulled the canned air into the lens
That's all I did, to no avail.
I came to the conclusion that it is a virus, because it is not that when starting and I can push the button to open it, even in safe mode.
Although no antivirus can find it, and I can't find anything winscript/wscript in the Task Manager.
Help, please.
Thanks for the reply.
1. the model is Packard Bell imedia S3840
2. No, apart from the installation of the Sims 3, if you count that.
3. I want to say that the problem still persists in Mode without failure.
Method 1: Did, did not work.
Method 2: Still did not work; I remember doing a couple of weeks ago, when he started.
Method 3: I've updated a long time ago already (like I said: "updated")
Thanks for the reply, but I've already fixed:
The button to eject the disc has been blocked; and I had to go out for a minute and then put it in.
Thank you!

This window flashes constantly at the bottom of the page and I can't stop it
Do you mean the inspector or do you mean the developer toolbar?
The shortcut key for the Inspector is Ctrl + Shift + C, so make sure that you don't accidentally press the SHIFT key when you use Ctrl + C to copy the text to the Clipboard.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I get Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7
original title: Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7
UPDATE!
OK because here we have the ball, I'm changing it to better reflect what is happening. The links below are some of the hundreds of post, will find you on the internet about this Aero lag. Some offer workarounds and some are not. I just googled Aero Lag and it was on the first page.If you have the same problem, please provide:
1. what kind of graphics card you have.
2. what kind of driver are you using (Win7 preinstalled or drivers from the manufacturer)
3. your version of Win7 has an update or a clean installation.
4. what motherboard you have.From the sounds of it, Microsoft is looking for a solution.
I also ask for the forum administrator to make a sticky like many people is facing this problem.

Solved my problem with Aeor lag.
Replaced Gforce 8800GTX with Gforce GTX480.

Without extension USB cable, all right.So he thinks it's a USB extension cable voltagedrop, forces the system to lag. ?

Leaves open and closing signals do not seem to work
Of the clues as to what special qml/qt/cascades magical thing you need to do to get the sheet open and closed signals to deliver?
The Basic code fragment is
Sheet sheet is iNewSheet-> Construct();.
bool ok = connect (sheet, SIGNAL (closed ()), this, SLOT (onSheetClosed ()));
Q_ASSERT (OK);
OK = Connect (Sheet, signal (Opened ()), this, slot (onSheetOpened ()));
Q_ASSERT (OK);
sheet-> open();Both links it seem to work - as in there is no assert.
The sheet is open ok, but no signal is transmitted
The sheet can be closed ok, but no closed signal is transmitted.
We also tried the openedChanged() signal, but that doesn't seem to be delivered either
If any readers
No idea what we have changed but the
Plug finished animation + is now open and the
Care ended animatng + is now completely closed
signals which do not seem to work previously now work.
We can only guess its something to do with the parameters of the method 'connect' or maybe the location of the statements of breeders or possibly using "Q_SLOTS" and not statement 'niche roles' or some other thing random Qt that would be taken by either the preprocessor, the compiler C runtime connect() returns value or other tools applied to the CBC to he mangle in Qt code.
What exactly is the problem with normal standard C++ interface inheritance for most of these?
