    Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more.  Windows XP is not supported.  There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

    Hi SmilingDaddy

    Here are a couple of things to try. Here I am assuming you are using a wireless router?

    Open system preferences > network

    The name of your network appears in "network name"?

    Click on the button "Advanced...". »

    In the WiFi list, make sure that your preferred network is at the top of the list.

    Click on the TCP/IP tab and click on 'Renew DHCP lease'

    Now you have Internet?

    Try turning off WiFi, either in the same pane of network, or by clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar. Then wait a minute and put it back on.

    If you hold down "Option" key and click the wireless in the Menu bar, you can click on the 'open Wireless Diagnostics... '. "There is also info even before making it on the signal strength, etc... WD can give you help and additional information.

    Let us know if it works and if not, please give any info you can. Are you using WiFI? Are you using a cable/DSL Service? What model of iMac?

    Hope this helps, Greg

  • Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not. Please help.

    Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not.  Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.

    You may need to update your toolbar, google has made some changes just about everything and possibly that the page is not where it used to be.

    Hi randyb71782130,

    Acrobat can be installed on 2 computers, but it can be activated on a computer at a given time.

    You have the subscription if you do not require a serial key, it will be activated using the Adobe ID once you connect.

    Now just let me know the cause, you try to activate Acrobat on your second system?

    What is the error code or exact error you receive?

  • Keyboard for blackBerry Smartphones won't work - HELP PLEASE!

    My Curve 8900 is less than 6 months old, and suddenly the keyboad won't work, so I can't make/receive calls, and although the trackball works, it won't "click" to unlock. Seems to be an intermittent fault. As I have the Blackberry (it is not purchased via a service provider), I tried to contact customer service for Blackberry UK, who seems reluctant to deal with consumers. My service, O2 have been much more useful. How can I get a warranty repair/replacement, or solve the problem?

    Well, after a WEEK, I'm totally furstrated with Blackberry. They have NO customer service in the United Kingdom, and as I have the BB (not through my mobile service provider, with whom I have a single contract SIM) I could get repair/replacement of parts. the only way I knew solving it had to spend many hours in an O2 store in the United Kingdom (my service provider) who finally had sympathy with me and agreed to sent for repair/replecement. I had one today renovated. It seems that this keyboard problem is common - the guy in the O2 shop showed me a way to fix it temporarily, hold down the ALT and right SHIFT buttons and press the DELETE key twice. This gives the BB a battery quick re-difficulty.

    But I (and all of my colleagues (will now go to the iPhones, which are more reliable and they give better customer service.)) SHAME on Blackberry for their shoddy products and the non-existenet customer service.

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  • HP Pavilion g6 (B1X18EA #ABH): switch to Internet does not work after update of 10 64-bit Windows

    Today I updated my laptop Windows 7 to Windows Home 64 bit OS 10. Everything seems to work fine, except the WIFI. Windows can't find my card, but don't wake him. My button built-in wifi (f12) got a red light on the subject, even when I pressed it. I tried the buttons Windows 8 wireless driver, but I does not solve my problem. With this driver installed the button turn the power Modeavion. Not between WIFI. Also the wifi settings WIFi will go off. When I try to turn it on, it turn on directly to 'off '. Internet connection cable works flawless.

    I gues it's a driver problem, so I was wondering if there is a next pilot? Or is there another way to turn it on.

    Please help me. It is very annoying.

    I've read som other forums and I came tot a solution:
    1. install Windows 8 button wireless driver
    2. perform a hard reset
    3. reboot the system
    4 boot BIOS tot, load default values
    5. the wifi button works.

    Hello
    I guess those are local network providers in your area... no?
    When you say "stopped working", we know exactly what is happening.
    Let me know...
    1. what operating system do you use?
    2. is it a wireless or wired connection?
    3. you get an error message?
    4. If Yes, what is the exact error message you are getting?
    5. Since the switch, the service has worked at all?
