I need help... all of a sudden, my computer does not read my disk 3 1/2 "
Due to my current unemployment, I don't have the money to pay for technical support... someone can you please tell me how to solve the problem. Thank you
Angel 28
- Computer power
- Unplug the computer
- Make sure that all the Cables range for 3 1/2 "is connected.
- close the case
- connect to the computer and restart it.
You look at the computer to see if the green light on the drive 3 1/2 "lights up.
Is the drive powered?
If there is then we need to go software route do this first and see what you get.
Good luck!
Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer. These work very well together for several years.
Now all of a sudden I get a message that the computer cable is not connected. I tried to charge the printer program.
I unplugged and reconnect the cable to the computer, etc.. The system does not work.
I learn by two other people, who have automatic updates of Windows, they had the same problem. We have a Kodak
printer and the other has a Lexmark printer. This makes me think that the problem is in the updates of Windows.
So, what should I do to fix this? I'm NOT a computer person and I'm confused.

I worked on the Web site of our Church and all of a sudden this week, my computer does not connect to the site. I get a message saying that the connection to the server was reset while the page is loading. Can anyone has any ideas on how I fix?
The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.

Toay the morning, I was working in my laptop suddenly it stuck and aftersometimes it lights up with a blue screen and there are some practical information written as "Error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and there are also "0x000000D1" error code
Please help me, how fix this mistake without formatting?
A 0x000000d1 error occurs when one of the drivers that you have installed on your computer is damaged or behave in an unstable manner. To resolve this problem, you can restore your drivers, update your drivers or restore your system to the last known good configuration. If you have recently installed the new drivers and new software, plug-and-play, it is very likely that errors that you see are for this reason.
Update your drivers:
If you know what drivers you have not successfully updated for awhile, then the first step you should take is to update the drivers. A newer version of a driver is less likely to suffer from the instability of the system issues the way a former pilot might. Update your drivers generally is to go to the website of the product. If you have recently installed a new NVIDIA graphics card, for example, you go to the NVIDIA website and search for the article of their driver. To update your drivers with success, you will need to know the exact material or accessory model you have recently installed and the operating system you are using.
1. go on the manufacturer's website.
2. Locate the Drivers section.
3. Select your operating system.
4. Select the model of your equipment.
5. download and install.
Restore your drivers:
If the update of your drivers does not help, you may need to go in the opposite direction. If the material or accessory item that causes this problem is something that you have used for a while, it may be that the latest drivers are the cause of the problem. This is often true if you use an older operating system, such as Windows XP or Windows Vista. When you cancel a driver you will be rolling it back to an earlier version that you had used successfully in the past.
1. click on the Start button and navigate to the control panel.
2. open the equipment and audio.
3. open the Device Manager.
4. right click on the device there.
5. Select Properties.
6. click on the driver tab.
7. click on Driver Rollback.
8 follow the instructions.
Drivers for most corrupt file names:
athw8x.sys - Atheros Wireless LAN Driver
Igdkmd64.sys - Intel Graphics driver
Tcpip.SYS - Microsoft TCP/IP Driver (associated with network management)
Netio.Sys - network IO subsystem
Usbuhci.sys - Miniport USB UHCI driver
iaStor.sys - Intel storage drivers
rtwlane.sys - Realtek PCIEWireless LAN PCI-E NIC driver
If you are unsure which model of the component you have installed, you can usually find by accessing the Device Manager. If you are still unsure, it usually appears on the spec sheet provided by the manufacturer of your computer.

I need help, its frustrating me! network discovery does not illuminate.
my network discovery does not illuminate. Whenever I try to turn it on I get an error message that says: (the specified service does not exsist as an installed service)! I need to elp, its frustrating me! I have windows vista.
Hello
Did you change your computer?
Method 1:
Based on the network location you choose, Windows affects a State of network for network discovery and opens the Windows Firewall ports suitable for this State.
Step 1: We recommend you to check if the elements of network discovery are enabled in Windows Firewall. To do this, try the following steps.
1. click on start, type firewall and then click Windows Firewall with advanced security.
2. click on rules of incoming traffic in the left pane and select the (SSDP-In) network discovery and network discovery (UPnP) - in the list.
3. click on rules of outgoing traffic in the left pane and enable network discovery (SSDP-out) and the discovery of the network (UPnP-Out) in the list.
4. apply the changes and check the result.For more information about network discovery, see this link:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-network-discoveryStep 2: Check the status of the following services: browser, TCP/IP NetBios support.
1. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
2. from the list of services, double-click the service computer browser and TCP/IP NetBios support.
3. change the startup type to automatic and start the service.
4. apply the changes.Method 2:
Now we go ahead and try to enable the discovery of the network on your computer and check for the issue.
Network discovery is disabled by default for public networks. Changing a network location type to home or work is the best way to turn on network discovery. To learn how to change a network location type, see Choosing a network location. To enable discovery manually, follow the steps below.
To turn on network discovery
1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.
2. If network discovery is off, click the arrow button expand the section, click turn on network discovery, and then click on apply. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
I also suggest you turn on discovery of the network link and check.
Enable or disable network discovery

Need help, use the control Timer my application does not start
Hello guys
I have problems, follow the example signals and Slots, but when my application is running, it does not start.
If I delete all the code that deals with the Timer control, it's working again, my theory is that the CustomTimer library does not stunts
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
My guess is many people have followed this during the first startup, I certainly did and it worked for me.
It's probably something simple, missed, without seeing your code it's going to be difficult to diagnose.
My first advice is always to check the log and see if messages are coming that may be related.

All of a sudden my laptop does not recognize the cd/dvd drive.
Just today my cd/dvd drive is not recognized. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6244us, Vista Home Premium software. The cd/dvd drive is only a factory with LightScribe. In Device Manager there is a yellow! next to the name. When I double click on it, it says what follows in the device status area: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) "I'd appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you

Hi Chris,
First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.
Check if the drive works now.
If it still does not work, click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator". In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.
sfc/scannow (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)
Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.
Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager. Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives. Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall. Do not delete if requested drivers. When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar). Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.
Kind regards

Desperately need help with my old Vostro 1510 which does not start!
My old Vostro 1510 (my tried & true), I had for 7-8 years under XP Pro SP3. Its really been a good little machine, but only started to have problems... Yesterday was the BSOD with the 07th code. Do system restore from the command through the splash screen prompt & if necc doing the XP restore CD & same BIOS reset if being researched necc.
So I tried to do the system restore to an earlier time with the button F8 at startup... blue screen then said that I had a windows configuration config 32 corruption & I need to use the recovery disk...
Could not get a cd on the internal disk but finally prevailed in now the eject button then re start the computer.
I guess it was a mistake to put the restore cd right there because nothing happened, just a black screen... I had to force close by pulling the battery because it is not closed in any other way.
Tried to restart & it makes the usuall start noise, the "can" symbol lights up at the top of the keyboard along w / all the three symbols to "lock" near her but NOTHING happens... black screen & I cannot get the disc in the CD drive.
I'm contemplating manually pulling the CD with a paper clip, but wanted to post my question here before I do & ruin even worse.
I have a newer dell laptop as I expected that to meet his maker someday, but I have pictures on my old I need to save! You think I would have a copy of these images, but of course I did not! I don't care if old dies, but I really need these photos because they have great sentimental value.
Can someone help me restore an old long enough to get my pictures of her?
Thank you
DEE

Need help to save this document... does not have enough RAM
I have Photoshop Elements 5.0. I have worked on some pages of the book and had no problem to save photo-lourds pages. I had all the pictures and photos closed pages and started working on a page that was all text. Towards the end of the page, I tried to save it and told me I don't have enough RAM. I have 19 layers of text up to now... is - that's why he won't save? I know that I can assign more RAM, but it will not take effect until I have to restart the program. Is it possible to save work that I already have?
Close all other open documents.
If you have other applications running, close those.
In pse5, go to Edition > purge and choose all.
See if that makes a difference.
