• Floppy drive icon not shown in "Devices with removable storage" in Windows 7

  I have a floppy drive connected to my motherboard, and it has been activated on my board Super IO Configuration in my UEFI.  I have a hard drive with Windows 7 installed, and a hard drive with Windows XP installed.

  In Windows XP, in the window my computer , under "Devices with removable storage", my floppy drive icon here and I can access the drive.  But in Windows 7, the floppy icon is not there, and when I type "A:" in the search bar, I get "the system cannot find the drive specified."

  I checked the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices registry, and I see the A: drive among the mounted devices.  I checked my Device Manager window, and I see 'floppy drive controllers' in the list, but not "floppy drive", I see in Windows XP.

  How can I get my floppy drive activated or reactivated in Windows 7, with the floppy disk icon showing?

  Never mind.  I received my floppy drive in Windows 7.

  Here's what I did:

  I'm back in my UEFI and disabled the floppy controller in my Super IO Configuration and starts in the two Windows operating systems.  The floppy drive, of course, disappeared in Windows XP.

  I tucked my UEFI and re-activated my floppy controller.  Now, the drive appears in Windows XP and Win7.

  You must find the XP drivers for the drive and install them if the manufacturer of the drive has put at their disposal.  The backup program can run on Win XP, but if it is a Win 95 program you can't get to work.  You can try running in compatibility mode.

• Why are external USB drives not considered "Devices with removable storage" by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?

  Readers USB Flash RAM, CD drive USB, readers of CD - RW USB, USB DVD +-RW drives and DVD-ROM USB readers are all handled by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as "devices with removable storage".  To check this, look under the "Computer" entry in the menu 'start '.  However, if one uses as a USB external hard drive, that one is listed under 'hard drive '.  Programs noticed this, and some of them refuse to use it as a removable media drive, even if it is technically removable media, with its electronic and all.  It's kind of weird, because you can't remove the RAM on the USB Flash memory drives either.  Is there a way to get readers to external USB hard drive listed under "devices with removable storage"?

  USB hard drives do not seem material RMB (removable media bit) bit set.

  I tried to format my external drive scratch NTFS (it has been formatted in this way, but I have re-formatted to ensure that), and it always happens as "Local Disk".  Also, I put the "Optimize for quick removal" option on the parameters of the disk driver hard software.  Which doesn't change anything either.  It came even as "Local Disk".  Finally, I formatted the drive with the FAT32 file system (use some flash drives).  The drive still shows as "Local Disk".  In the tests described above, I still "withdrew safely" the disk first and then re-connected.

  Thanks for the help, I now know it is a bit material in the electronic control unit which controls special registration of the drive in the operating system.

• Icons have disappeared from the screen. How to recover?

  All my icons disappeared a week ago and I can't get back them. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello Moira.

  You had recently done anything or made any changes to your computer just before this started? Were in line just before that happens? In both cases two different things to try. First, go to control panel, backup and restore, and click Restore. You find a restore point that is at least a week ago, and preferably at least a day or two before your icons have disappeared. Making the point of restoration solves the problem for you?

  If not, or for later use, you must download, install, and then run these two anti-malware applications:

  Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

  Then run your antivirus application do not have? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html.

  Let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

• My icons have disappeared from the SysTray

  All icons except time disappeared from my system tray.  A KB (sorry, missed the number) indicated that may result by calling the Hibernate power function.   I didn't exactly, however, under Options of Panel\Power control, the presentations tab, I put "Turn off monitor" and "standby" to "after 1 hour" for a few days. "  All icons except time disappeared.

  After I restore all settings power forever, however, the icons are not returned.

  There are many posts & FAQ on restoring the volume, usually with regard to C:\WIndows\system32\sndvol.32.exe, I think they can refer in case there is no sound at all.  I have the sound and the sndvol32.exe file seems to be good and in the right place (2).

  So I think that my problem is not just the Volume icon, but there is a problem with all the icons, not just volume.

  I also saw the FAQ related to a repair of the problem on "My Network Places" icon, but they have not worked for me.

  There was also a suggestion to install the original Windows XP disc and restore the original files.  In my case, that would mean coming back to SP2.  I have SP3 disk, but I mention it only to point to how 'old', some of these files systen will do.  So, I have to ask:

  • And how about the odd updates 300 listed in my CP/Add and Remove programs?
  • Does not remove the customization settings, that I may have made in the last 4-5 years?  A horrible thought!

  Would appreciate any suggestions

  Hi Dave,.

  ·         Are you able to see the icons in safe mode?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  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.

  Method 2: Perform a System Restore and check if the problem persists.

  Method 3: Scan the file system (CFS) auditor to repair corrupted files.

• Some user icons have disappeared from the Office

  I use a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista business with Service Pack 2.

  Earlier today, most of the icons on my desktop disappeared. Who else is shortcuts in the folder C:\USERS\PUBLIC\DESKTOP.  Those who have disappeared are those of C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP.  When I look in this file by using Solution Explorer, all the files are still present. It's just you display the icon on the desktop that is missing.

  I am connected to my usual account that has administrator privileges.  Office properties are set to "Show desktop icons" and "snap to grid".

  Earlier today, I installed an update of AVG Internet Security and performed a full scan, but can't say for sure if the disappearance of the icons has coincided with this.

  It seems that the system is linking the visible office with the files in the Public folder, but not those in my personal file.

  I tried to restore the system to the earlier dates, but this did not restore desktop layout.

  Can anyone tell how to recover? Help will be very appreciated.

  Hi Jessen

  Thanks for your reply.

  In fact, it became obvious that the registry has been damaged.  I restored the registry to a previous state by using a backup, and that solved the problem.

  Thank you for your suggestions.
