I have a Compaq Windows XP and I can not open my hard drive.
I opened the outer hatch, but the hole for the paper clip thing does not work and whenever I press the button it lights up but made a push and I can't open it. Please help me
The optical drive is dead and must be replaced. If there is a disc in there you must go out, try to use the trombone while the computer is OFF. Then replace the drive. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

After updating Firefox to the latest version 37.0.2 I can't open all the hyperlinks my gmail or other sites. Could you help me please?
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

Could you be more specific as to what you were doing.
Try this:
Restore point:

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
Hello
I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
The program is installed, but once the autorun.exe appears (with the icons of the game, uninstall, website, out) I click on play and the game does not just start. My computing needs are fairly good for the game because I used to play the game on the same computer later.Thanks for your help

Bink is what plays the scenes cut in many games.
Installation folder of AOE 3 the binkw32.dll should be in games.
If it is then it is may be damaged and reinstall the game normally would set the
problem.AutoPatcher.exe - I do not know because I never use auto-patchers with games.
I have always to download the patch and install manually.
However, my game has the RockallDLL.dll file.I don't really know a good site to lead you to these files.
You can find a binkw32.dll in another game. Try doing a search of
Program Files (x 86) (or another location if you install games to the default locations). If you have the file in another game you can copy into your AOE3
folder of the master installation.There was a lot of discussion on these forums about AOE3 so a
search of these forums may find another suggestion.

Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD
Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.
Thanks for the reply.
There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.
I managed to fix the problem after:
-J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
-J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
-J' uninstalled the USB controllers
-reboot the system
-reconnected the external HD
-After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated softwareBest regards
