Problem opening of disk C: & D:

C: & D: drive in my laptop will not open when I click on the readers is a list and asking to select a program to open. I can able to open only via a right click and explore their.

Make sure that you can view all the hidden files and extensions and extensions (in Folder Options View tab). In XP, there are four boxes to treat:

a. check "display the contents of system folders".
b. check "show files and folders.
c. uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
d. uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and click "OK" to the dialog box.

Looking for an autorun.inf file at the root of both of these drives. If found, delete it.

It will not hurt to be proactive and make some malware scanner then either.

    Hello

    You cannot use the system back restore more than you have Restore Points. The only one
    Another option would be to return the system to its out of the box, as it was when
    you received. So, it would be better reset your e-mail settings and check with
    the support of your email provider.

    Hard disks are disks for data storage that can be divided into one or more partitions (or volumes). RAM is a card that is placed in a memory slot in the motherboard. The motherboard may have a number of slots, often 2 or 4. As a backup of the system RAM memory will be temporarily store data in a file on the hard drive and it's virtual memory.

    Hard drives can be internal (inside the computer case) or external (outside the computer case).

    The system uses the RAM first, as it is faster to access, read and write, and for less immediate tasks of the system swaps out data for later use of RAM in the swap file on the hard drive.

    Not enough memory messages are normally because the system detects that there is a danger that it is shortly will have insufficient disk space to meet the needs of the system. It is perhaps because the allocated disk space is not enough to know that the allotted maximum play needs to be increased, or that there are not enough remaining free disk space to increase the size of the pagefile size. In your case, the messages are related to something else than the more common situation.

    In your case the problem is the Volume Shadow Copy service.
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy

    This service has disk space needs and the reserve system part of the disk only for its use. How it does and how to solve this problem, when things go wrong, is not commonly understood that is why I am fighting to give you simple instructions on how to solve your problem.

    A possible solution could be formatting your hard drive and a new installation of Windows and programs. It is a radical solution to what is an irritant, but probably not a problem that prevents you from using your computer. Reinstalling the operating system is not something I would recommend an inexperienced user company.

    What caused your problem? Most likely it was caused by your anti-virus program or a program like Registry Mechanic, or is the result of damage from malware (virus). You must uninstall Registry Mechanic by Add / Remove programs in the Control Panel now and we hope it's presence did not irreparable damage to the registry.

    What antivirus do you use? If it is Norton or McAfee that needs to go. Norton is particularly good to turn upside down the Windows operating system. If you have Norton you will need specific advice as the removal can be problematic. There are many appropriate freeware alternatives.

    I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word.

  • Problem opening files in MS Paint

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on an ASUS Gaming Notebook aged 2 years.  All installed software is set up to receive the latest updates.


    About 3 days, 24/09/2012, UTC - 6 h, I started to experience problems opening files inside MS Paint.  Recently used files open without problems, but when I used the drill down menu file and clicked Open, the File Manager window opens but seemed not completely.  It stops before you post content in the panels on the left or right.  After waiting almost a minute, an error window opens saying that the Paint program does not react with the choice of activation of one of the 2 buttons, Debug or Cancel.
    Despite my system restarts and run virus scans, nothing seems to be broken.  I did, however, go through the Event Viewer to see what specifics have been involved in these accidents.  As I'm not a programmer or remotely competent in any language of software, the only elements that makes any sense to me were mspaint.exe & explorerframe.dll mentioned in Application event error reports as well as a series of numbers. (I also made the applet of Quicktime, 22, do not overwrite my selections of extension of file to default, programs installed that I read in another forum, it tends to do with files visual & audio) So now, I have several issues with that I hope other posters can help me:
    • Everyone knows that I have here and have been able to solve it?
    • Is it possible to uninstall, and then reinstall the paint? (I don't want to do a restore system b/c my last restore point was in April).
    • Any of you know how I can repair this situation or even help out there so I could fix the problem myself?
    • Is it possible to have reported this instance to Microsoft somewhere other than the generic return route?

    Thank you very much for reading and doubly so if you can shed some light on this dilemma.

    A restore point can be created manually, but when you use windows update a restore point is often automatic created in the update process.

    Simply type 'Restore' in the search text box programs & files, double-click the shortcut to "System Restore" which results in and follow the instructions (note the show more restore point box)

  • Problems opening AE CS4 in AE CS6. Is there a solution?

    Problems opening AE CS4 in AE CS6. I recently tried to open a model bought CS4 and masks are removed, the music does not play, and the size of the exported file is huge. I also get a popup when opening older files that said "Adobe After Effects: the project must be converted from version 9 (Windows) and opens as an untitled project.» The original file will be unchanged. "The model developer seems a complex like me. I found another forum with exactly the same problem as mine, but no resolution. Is there a way to download CS4 or 5 so I'm able to use these models? I've upgraded to AE 2015 to see if there was a difficulty, no luck.

    MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    AE CS6/2015

    The popup is to be expected. This is just to let you know that you use a newer version, so it will save it with a different file name. Not much.

    Large file size, it's because you said it is. This should explain it: FAQ: why my output file is huge?

    The lack of music may not be a problem. How do you check to see if there is music?

    What do you mean by "a fall masks '?

    I found the models are often quite confusing for beginners. AE is too complicated to just jump right in. You will encounter "traps" as you did. We can try to help you to work right now through it, but if you get a decent Foundation first, you'll be much less frustrated. This resource is a good starting point: starting After Effects
