So I can't ingest pictures of her, or copy photos from a card itself. It is not listed as a player option. LR sees any other drive. My computer he sees very well, so I was able to create a catalog it. IM using windows 8.1. Any ideas? I would also add that this drive has become corrupted and was repaired by Samsung.

    My computer is running XP Home Edition Sp3 and using Norton internet security 2011.

    Marilyn answers Support Engineer Microsoft's answer also suggested maybe using some registry changes, which I'm not comfortable with because of my limited experience.

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated pedro147

    None of these suggestions to the Microsoft support technician will help you, but they will consume large amounts of your time.

    Please post a link to this Marilyn Microsoft engineer answer Support responses involving some registry maybe going to I can see that too.

    Older versions of PowerDesk Pro 7.x are known to cause explore crash, so that the sounds on the right.

    The current version of PowerDesk Pro is 8.5.

    You might be able to get the old version to behave by disabling PowerDesk one shell extensions at a time until when you right-click Explorer no longer crashes.  This will leave you with limited functionality of PowerDesk since those afflicted extensions will be disabled, but you should not have these extensions to do anything, you need to make sheets.

    I would start with the PowerDesk ZIP shell extension (I already know about this one).

    It is a version shortened and changed my notes on the use of ShellExView (since you already think sheets):

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

    For example, you could Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    Right click and disable Microsoft no suspicious extensions one at a time take a list so you can enable them again later if you wish.

    The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know which extension is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.  You can then start to reactivate other extensions to zero on the extensions that are causing your accident

    If the cause of the accident is a third party application or program, their may be a later version of the program available that solves the problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

  • Satellite P300-156 - driver detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort1 controller error

    Hello

    I have recently installed a secondary hard drive in my P300-156 and am having some problems with it. I get 11 event IDS in the event log system "the driver detected a controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort1. error" and suffer with very poor performance with this player.

    The drive is new and works fine in other systems and even works ok if I swap bays my P300-156, but the problem with this is that the drive does not fit in the other Bay, as it is quite thick. The player in question is a Samsung HM100UI 1 TB 2.5 "Sata. I also tried other readers in this Bay, and they work well too.

    I am using windows 7 ultimate and the Intel chipset drivers. It's an Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI controller, the 7.0.0.1013 driver version. Have tried different drivers and the AHCI/IDE mode. Also tried a new installation and the problem persists.

    Am at a loss why this disc problems is there anything else someone can suggest to try?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I also tried other readers in this Bay, and they work well too.

    This means that you had problems with the other drives in the second span?
    If Yes, then I guess some problem of compatibility between the P300 and the HARD drive

  • Cannot install driver update.__Graphics need something. He tells me that there is a solution.

    I have two problems. The first is, I can not install the patch (KB973636) I get an error code 646.
    Then when I look into the solutions of a problem my graphics device disk has stopped.  I check the updates and it indicates that the driver is up-to-date.
    I'm relatively new to the computer, so I do not understand all the terms.

    Hello

    You have Works 8 installed on your computer? If this is the control panel - Windows Updates - right-click on
    It CACHE - sometimes updates will offer an update, that you don't need.

    If you work 8 go here and put the KBxxxxxx number to download.

    Download Center - mount the KBxxxxxx.

    Microsoft Download Center
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN

    Then you can right click on the update in the updates Windows and HIDE.

    ----------------------------------------------

    To the problem of display driver (video), update your video driver manually using these methods - you can also update
    others as needed.

    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.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

    Thank you for your reply and your help.

    The computer hangs at all places. I had to reboot 4 times just to open a session. It doesn't seem to be any time or place where this happens.

    I went out the window / your recommendations and was able to solve the problem of step 2. I have other computers on a home network that do not freeze, so I think that the problem lies in this computer. In any case, thanks for your help. Now I'm off to get my sound, I've lost somewhere during my diagnosis.
