Static drive letters are not retained when you restart

I assign drive letters static for two CD-ROM drives on my system - v and w:

Whenever the system is restarted, it 'forgets' static CD-ROM drive letters and assigns its own, which means an external HARD drive gets the wrong letter of drive and screw to the top of my backup arrangements.

It started in the last few weeks, although I'm not sure what I did to make it.  The system is Windows XP Home SP3, kept up to date, including the last batch of August 2010 patches.

I had a Windows startup internal defective HARD drive about a month ago, I replaced after the cloning of one defective on the new drive.

Change drive letter must be done in diskmgmt.msc in msc, L.click

on a disc, go to actions, all, select 'Change the letter of the drive/path', change the letter...

However, don't forget that xp by default uses "D" as his letter for any installation cdrom.

V & W for the cdrom will cease installation & other problems. The change of

that must be done in REGEDIT... HKEY/LOCAL/MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows /.

Then, open Configuration & change letter as needed...

  • Letters do not appear when you type on a web browser

    I have no problem typing in MS Word 2007, but when it comes to the internet, typing in a web browser, there not all letters as I type. A slow response to the keyboard.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities

    I understand that some of the letters does not appear when you try to type on the web browser. Let me try and help you with the problem.

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. have you tested the issue on several web browsers (if you have them)?

    3. have you started facing this problem recently? If Yes, are you aware or made a software or a hardware changes to the PC before this problem?

    This occurs generally if there is a problem with an add-on installed on the computer.

    I suggest to follow these methods on Internet Explorer and check to see if it helps to solve the problem:

    Method 1:

    You can start by running the Fixit and check if this helps solve the problem.

    Troubleshoot Internet Explorer to IE quick, safe and stable

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/mats/ie_performance_and_safety


    Method 2:

    If this does not help, start Internet Explorer in no add-on mode.

    While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away.

    Step 1: Run Internet Explorer without modules

    ·         Click the Start button. Click on all programs, Accessories, click System Toolsand then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the problem does not occur after you use this method, use Manage Add-ons to determine which modules are at the origin of the problem.

    Step 2: Manage Add-ons.

    (a) open Internet Explorer, click the Start button. In the search box, and then type Internet Explorerin the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    (b) click the Tools button, and then click Manage Add-ons.

    (c) click an add-on in the name list, and then click disable.

    (d) repeat step c until you identify the add-on that is causing the problem.

  • Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that its system requirements are not enough when you try to use a version of Flash Player?

    Hello

    Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that its system requirements are not enough when you try to use a version of Flash Player?

    Concerning

    It depends, but generally, no..

    Guidelines for the minimum system requirements are especially on what we and won't fix the bugs for.  Flash Player probably works on Windows Server 2000 and we will not intentionally break it or prevent you from installing, but we will also not fix it if it breaks.  In cases where it will crash on launch or some other out-of-box horrible experience, like trying to install on a Mac PowerPC, then we will prevent pure and simple installation.

  • Properties of C301a are not open when you print a PDF file

    My printer was working fine but suddenly the properties will not open when printing a PDF file.

    Hey @MtVernon1910,

    I have to recommend at this stage that contact you support backup of lizard for further assistance if you have purchased the full version of the Lizard Safeguard software.

    LockLizard - Support

    However, if you use the free to Lizard Safeguard PDF Viewer you are not eligible for the support of Lizard Safeguard and need to contact the site where you download the abandoned coat pattern to go would either have them allow you to download and view a PDF through Adobe unsecured. Or try a different file such as JPEG or TIFF type to print.

    If the Properties window does not appear in the Lizard Safeguard software and you need to change the printing preferences, you can:

    1. Click on the start menu
    2. Select "devices and printers".
    3. Right click on your printer C309a and left click on 'Print Options' to change your settings.
    4. Once your settings, open your PDF in lizard backup and when you print it to remember the parameters that you set under printing options. Once the print job is completed, return to the devices and printers, and open your new product printing preferences to restore everything to the way it was before you print the PDF file.

    If the problem is that the print dialog box does not open for you, try hitting Ctrl + P your keyboard at the same time and should prompt the print dialog window to open.

    Good luck!

  • RoboHelp 2015: Several output types that are not available when you open the project created with RH9

    I recently upgraded from RoboHelp 9 in RoboHelp 2015, and I have installed all updates. I use WebHelp output for most of my projects. I would like to use the new features of HR 2015, specifically the release of HTML5 sensitive; However, when I open a project created with RH9, this type of output is not available. This type of output, and many others is not listed as options can I choose from eBook including HTML5 Multiscreen, and others. I tried to create a new project with HR 2015, and import my RH9 project files, but the sensitive HTML5 output and others remained unavailable. Are there settings I can change into my existing project or HR 2015 in order to use these features and new types of output? Recreate all the subjects in HR 2015 seems to be a very undesirable solution.

    Operating system: Windows 7, 64 bit

    Right click on the pod output and select new.  All options will be listed.

  • Network paths are not displayed when you create a new reservation, but due to storage

    I want to create a new reserve of vsphere with a new endpoint vCenter that I just added (our 2nd point endpoint vCenter).  Storage of the paths appear fine in the "resources" tab, but on the tab network shows the network paths.  I have validated that there are 3 groups of ports distributed that appear in vSphere client to web, so I know they exist.

    Has anyone seen this behavior?

    Hey Sean!

    Happy new year!!  My question ended having to do with storage cluster and DTS not activated.  Of the 103 times I've torn down and rebuilt, I recommend again. When things are going well, the installation will really well in all areas.  Safe yourself a bit of time and hassle and start again

    Guess the question covers. I use Firefox on Windows 10 41.0.2.

    For problems with the file places.sqlite (bookmarks, historical) database, you can check in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Originating IP address is not retained when you deploy a vApp

    Hi all

    I need to import virtual machines in a paralytic to vCloud Director, and when I deploy models, I need virtual machines to keep their original IP addresses.

    Turns out it was because of this problem: VMware KB: patterns of deployment of Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7 with vmxnet3 renames the NIC # 2

    I changed the adapters for E1000, and static IP addresses have been selected.

  • The last tab, further to the right, does not load when you restart FireFox.

    Whenever I restart firefox, the last tab that I had opened does not load. The issue of restarting can be any: add new installed firefox, new update, restart the browser manually, or restart my computer for firefox automatically closes. It's always the same problem. The last tab appears, as my page, new tab, which is empty. I have 3 tabs open and the first 2 will load fine, but not the last. This means that if I restart for an add-on or something, I need to return to my story to go back the last tab, which is annoying. And it may not have been my most recent tab. I can open this last tab, go back to the tab previous surfing the web on this subject, my story of the building and then restart firefox for some reason any. In these cases, I need to open the history window and dig for the last tab of the memory.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
  • WEP encryption key do not forget when you restart the Equium M50-244

    I use a laptop Equium M50-244, with a BT Home Hub 7838 wireless router. Almost everytime I turn on the laptop it has no wireless connection. So I have to go to control panel, network connections and that he can find a new connection.

    I would then type the key to encryption WEP number twice to get a new connection.
    This is obviously a long procedure, so I need to get the laptop to recognize the encryption key and save it for the next time I turn on.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and a Norton Anti Virus and Firewall.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    I agree with Louis. Your WLAN cards support WPA encryption and, if possible, you should use it.

    Anyway: try to Setup WLAN to use Windows settings and set WEP password we remind for your WLAN. I have the set up on a lot of laptops different and after choosing the publicly traded WLAN password has already been set and the only thing that must be done is to click on the Connect button.
