  I deleted all the games that come with Windows XP including Solitaire.  How can I get that back?

  Hi andypily1,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  Try the steps one by one and check below.

  STEP 1:
  How do I add or remove games in Windows XP
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307768
   
  
  STEP 2:
  In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

  I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

  Later, click on Start menu click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

  STEP 3:
  If fails it above steps, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.
   
  See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

• How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

  Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

  How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

  I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

  Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

  Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
  http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

  The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

• How can I get my computer to automatically connect to the internet whenever I turn it on?

  Connect computer to internet automatically switch on

  How can I get my computer to automatically connect to the internet? Currently, I have to press Fn F1 to activate the WLAN - not something huge, but a tad boring. Another computer on the same network will connect automatically in setting in motion.

  It is a 'feature' of the particular computer you are using. Take a look at the manual; It may be a setting in the BIOS to turn on the wireless on startup.

• How can I get my computer to recognize me as the administrater

  my computer shows me the administrator but the wont let me access c drive or all programs except internet

  Hi gameromer,

  ·         What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         Do you get any error message when you try to access the C drive?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 2: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• I had a virus on my computer acer laptop and thought restoring factory setings it would solve the problem. It wiped everything, including my computer windows. How can I get my computer running again and what I look at?

  the screen that appears whenever I start my computer says "windows boot manager, windows did not start." a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  fie: \windows\system32\winload.exe

  status: 0xc000000e

  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  A factory restore should you restore your computer to its state when you bought it. If the factory restore did not work, you have to be a problem with the hardware or the original image. Do factory restore using the recovery disks, not the recovery image on the hard drive. Alternatively, you can contact Acer technical support about the error since it is their original which has been restored. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Computer is not reading my SD card

  Hello

  Make sure the SD card works on other computers.

  The card reader is a USB device to ensure that other USB devices work.

  Check with HP, their drivers support and documentation online and ask in the forums of HP where it
  others will be with the same or similar model. I hope this is just the driver. It is possible that the device has been
  back not connected properly or even damaged when installing the new hard drive.
