The CD player does not accept disks. Tools/task bars are located. __

I have a hybrid of studio 140g. The E: drive won't record. It spits out them after 2 seconds or so to be inserted. I think I can be inadvertently disabled something. Experimentation with the default settings didn't help.
Also I managed to move my tools/taskbars completely bars to the left and the top of the screen. Pfhew! Cannot click on it. Reboots do not help. Total frustration! Thank you!

    Original title: Troubleshooting my my wireless conecction and it say the remote device or resource does not accept the connection

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. This problem can occur because of incorrect settings of Internet Explorer. Initially, make sure you have Internet Explorer as web browser by default on the computer, refer to this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

    Research I found that this problem can be solved by resetting the Internet Explorer settings. Try the following steps:

    1. Press the logo Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.

    2. Type inetcpl.cpl in the Run dialog box, press enter.

    3. Now click on the Advanced tab , and then click reset.

    4. Click apply , then ok.

     

    Note: Resetting Internet Explorer settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered.

    Please refer to this same thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/connection-problem-troubleshooting-the-remote/24bfdbf3-4914-45a8-ae45-38243b59be1c?page=1, he is older but he helped a lot of users.

  • Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

    Hi all
    First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

    So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
    But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

    I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

    I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

    I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
    I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

    Thanks for your help!

    Kubs

    Hello Kubs

    I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
    If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.

    Recently (2 months ago) he quit the installation of the updates of Windows and would download 3 whenever I stop.  HP support could not help or Fix - It programs work.  Had to restore it to factory default and that solved THIS problem.

    Reading card camera (which I have done before) attempted recently, but he did not read / was not recognized.  Today, tried to launch a DVD, and when it does not start automatically, I discovered that it is not recognized.

    Tried HP Support Assistant, who told me that the model # of the DVD drive that I was using, then proceeded to say there was something wrong with the driver... and he couldn't fix it.

    More?  (Windows Explorer, not Internet) will be often expire or crash...

    I have Norton Internet Security with live update and have yet to have virus problems.

  • RunAs with the /savecred option does not accept the credentials stored by the cmdkey command

    Hello

    I am trying to automate the storage of credentials for profiles of several people on several servers so that they can use it with scripts, they will use that have the command 'runas' with the /savecred option.  I use the command "cmdkey" to store the user and the password, but when the runas command is run, it prompts for the password anyway.  I know that the /savecred works since if I leave the command-line runas for the password and I enter, on subsequent runs, he is more requested for the password.  Curiously, if I use the cmdkey command to replace the stored credentials, runas invite you again the password so it can store it himself.  Almost as runas does not 'trust' cmdkey.  Any thoughts on why this can happen and how can I get around it?  I really need to automate the identification information storing or it will take a couple hundred manual executions of the runas command to get this store on the profiles of all the people in need.

  • Problem with the installation of CS3. The update check does not accept serial number

    Hey,.

    I have CS3 I need to install one Mac to another. It has already been turned off and installed again as well. But after entering the serial number, I can see window called Updade check and here my series does not work. Technical support can't not old versions, so that they cannot help me. But I have to run CS3 on the mac anyway. Can I skip step of checking the update anyway? Or what I can do to run this? Problem is that I already can't even use it on a previous machine because it has been disabled.

    Does anyone know what should I do in this situation?

    ignore the update checking.

    You can update each program directly after installation and activation, if you need.

    A .vob is a type of video file DVD, which, as well as other types of files is used for standard DVDs. This is a special type of file video mpg, and a single .vob file will play on just a few players. If you have installed other players, first see if it will play on one of them. Depending on the OS and WMP you have, often you can do a video .vob file play on WMP by changing the extension .vob to .mpg. The player may ask you if you want to try to read the file, and if you answer Yes, it will play then. If these two fail, there are many programs that can convert a .vob to .wmv, .mpg or other formats that WMP will play. This program is free, but pays a lot those who give you a free trial, that could be enough to get you to your current problem.

  • I have a XP and suddenly the cd player does not work. I put disks in it, but they do not appear in media players. On my computer, it shows that the drive is there.

    I may get paranoid, but the player made a weird noise the first time I start my pc and noticed that the drive is not play discs. It has burned or broken some how? Is it possible for me to confirm that apart from go to a store and pay someone to check this?

    Hello Downey3,

    Thank you for your message.  It could be that your player has gone wrong, you have another computer that you could test with?  Otherwise, you could check the Device Manager to see if it could be a driver problem (steps below).  Click HERE , and then run the FixIt!
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on Device Manager.
    Do you see a yellow! next to your CD/DVD drive?  If so, you may need to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver/firmware.  Is it permits?  If this is not the case, turn it on and test.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.
    See you soon
