• External hard drive not appearing is not in Windows Explorer

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive that has been previously connected to a MAC and that worked very well. I have data on the MAC that I need to put on my PC that is running Windows Vista, but when I plug it into the computer it does not appear in windows Explorer.  She appears as installed hardware and appears under Device Manager/disk management, but there is not a disk entrusted to him.  When I right click on it to assign a drive, this option is grayed out and I can't assign the driver.  Is this what can I do to access the external drive?

  Thank you

• New user account appearing is not in Windows Explorer (Windows 7)

  I just got my reset of the HP laptop and I'm trying to set up a new account, I followed the procedure, but my new account does not appear in the list of users under Windows Explorer. only one generic user appears.

  When you create a new user account in Windows 7, it prepares the system for the new profile, but does not create records.

  User files are only created when a new user connects to Windows first. While Windows creates the folder structure for the new user, you will see the text in preparing your desktop on the Welcome screen. That's why the first connection to a new user profile takes a little longer than usual.

  So to see a new user profile folders in Explorer you should first user or disconnection of the account used to create the new user, and then connect to the new user profile.

• Computer infected with the virus. USB drives no longer appear in Windows Explorer.

  Original title: attack viruses, help...

  My friend has a computer that is running windows XP. She asked for help on what to do when several virus has infected his computer.

  I tried my best, but the virus has turned off. The Task Manager, msconfig are impossible to perform. the computer had a virus which is the reason why it continues to be infected. The last scan I made from a usb key which has been infected to leave the computer has revealed five different viruses and worms, each of them spread through usb drives. It's the worst case of infection, I had ever seen.  I tried to scan with the scanner but it did not work. The computer crashed, and when I turned it on things have become much worse. USB drives no longer appear in the Explorer, the computer reads no more and the old xp theme has disappeared, his running today on classic. Help me please.

  Please follow the steps below:

  On a friend or a member of the family computer, download the files installation and update Malwarebytes from the links below, copy them to a CD or a flash drive, then transfer the files on the problem machine and use them. If you cannot start the computer in 'normal' windows, try to install, update and running AFTER the computer scans are started in Mode safe... I use the sites below to download the installation file and the manual update:

  Once downloaded and before moving the machine to the problem, rename the Setup file "mbam - setup.exe" to something like "Gogetum.exe", and then copy the installation file and the update on a CD or a flash drive file... Transfer the file to the problem machine, install the "Gogetum.exe" file, and then run the update for the current program... After that, run a full system scan and delete everything it finds.

  Install Malwarebytes-download link (by clicking the links below will immediately start the download dialog window.)

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free>

  Then download the SuperAntispyware program and the manual update of the links below. After you run the Malwarebytes tool that above, if you still cannot download and install directly from the problem machine, download it to a friend or a family member computer as well. After installation and update SuperAntispyware, run a full system scan and delete everything it finds as well. As before, you may need to rename the Setup file for the Setup program. :

• New external USB 500 GB Portable Hard Drive appearing is not in Windows Vista

  I connected a new 500G portable hard drive to a front USB port on my HP PC (with an AMD Phenom X 4 image processor), under Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows presented a pop saying that the driver has been installed, then he said: USB device installed. The software of the device has been installed successfully and is ready for use.

  However when I looked for the drive in Windows Explorer it wasn't there. I read in this forum, and using the information that I realized that I accessed the computer on my PC management - up it only shows C: drive and D: drive image factory, but below that, when disk 0 is assigned to the C: and D: drives it shows disk 1, unknown, uninitialized. Assuming that it is the car in question, I tried to initialize the disk, but then the error FUNCTION INCORRECTE.

  I don't know what to do at this point. If the player has not been assigned a letter, there seems to be no way to transfer or partition.

  A new drive must be formatted. That is why it is sjowing up as disc 1, unknown, uninitialized.

• USB driver for external hard drive

  Is there a download driver usb as a microsoft? My external USB gives an error message about the dysfunction of the usb driver...

  Is there a download driver usb as a microsoft? My external USB gives an error message about the dysfunction of the usb driver...

  Most likely, it is a misleading message.  Most external hard drives do not require a special USB driver.  But check out the website of the manufacturer of the drive.

  What brand/model of external hard drive?

  The player has a power source or he relies on the USB connection for power supply?

  It worked before?  If so, what happened just before the error started?

  What version of Windows, including the service pack is installed?

  Please post the full error message without paraphrase.

  Have you tried to connect the player to another USB port, preferably one on the back of the case, if the computer is a desktop/Tower computer?

  Try running the Fixit:

  If that would not work, go to Device Manager and uninstall (right click, uninstall) all devices under USB controllers. Restart the computer, it must be reinstalled.

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your CD/DVD drive on your laptop does not work.

  Can you please answer the following questions:

  You have recently installed software or Windows updates?

  When did you start in this topic?

  Have you tried several DVD?

  Make sure you have the latest version of the installed CyberLink PowerDVD software. Without this software, the DVD drive cannot read DVD or Blu - ray discs. You can download this software here: the CyberLink PowerDVD software.

  You can also try to do a restore system before the issue started if it a question recently of news. You can access the restoration through the HP Recovery Manager by tapping the F11 key, while the portable lights.

  I would like to know if it works for you.

• Why some of my PC does not appear under "Network" in Windows Explorer?

  I think that part of my PC now appears in the section "Network" in Windows Explorer.

  Under network, I used to have just the Epson Workforce 645 printer connected WiFi.
  Recently, I noticed that some of my C: drive appear there as well.
  I now have an entry for my computer name.
  Which is the tree that starts with "users". Under users is 'Default', 'Public' and my user name.
  There are all these files.
  If I'm going to disconnect network drives nothing appears.
  I can navigate the network folders and I can see the same files I see under
  These folders under my 'C '.
  Any ideas on how this could have happened? Or how can I cancel it?
  Thank you for any help or advice.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!
  You have reached the right forum for your question. If I understand correctly, you see the "Network" section in the Windows Explorer. I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps to check if this may help.

  If you connect any network to the computer, it appears upwards in the network. If you disconnect the network players, then the network is offline now

• PDF files shows no not in windows Explorer

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  THAT IS TO SAY 8

  Occasionalyy, after I download a PDF file, I can't see the file. Finished downloading the file, but does not appear. However, if I go to download another file, downloaded files appear in the window "Save as" Windows Explorer, but not in the regular Windows Explorer window. I can open the files from there the window "save under" clicking and choosing 'open file '.

  It's strange because this does not happen to all files. It occurs also on ordinary IE downloads, but not as often.

  Any ideas on how to make visible files?

  Thank you

• Topic shows in the project manager, but not in Windows Explorer

  Hello

  I have an A project topic that I would like to import into the project B. When I work in project B and click import and watch the list of topics in project A, I don't see the topic I need. However, if I open A project, I can see in the project manager. The section opens and appears in the table of contents correctly.

  I don't know what is happening or how to fix this. I am reluctant to experiment because I myself got subject struggling outside the project before moving.

  Thank you

  MDawn

  I thought to it after I posted my question. I opened the Properties section and the name of the file is different than the title of the topic. Of course, in Windows Explorer, I saw the file name, not the name of the topic.

  Thank you

• Local TV news sez DO NOT USE Windows Explorer for XP and Windows 7!

  Information TV local sez not to use Windows Explorer in Windows XP and Windows 7. Microsoft will provide you with a "Toolbox" as a temporary solution. There is problem that a 'hacker' can support my computer through Microsoft Windows Explorer. Is a CLEAR and PRESENT an IMMEDIATE DANGER?  Can I uninstall Windows Explorer? What should I install to take the place of the Windows Explorer?  How can I find the 'Toolbox' of Microsoft?  I use Microsoft Update at least twice a week to keep abreast of updates. I have McAfee Security installed.  Thanks for your comments, Kenneth Markson - * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers or see on TV.

  Then, you must distinguish 'Windows Explorer' (file management tool) and "Internet Explorer" (web browser).  You cannot uninstall Windows Explorer.  It is an integral part of Windows.

  You can't really delete Internet Explorer either, although in recent versions of Windows, you can remove a lot of it.

  You probably think of this story of a discovery recently 'zero-day exploit' in Internet Explorer: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/09/18/internet_explorer_zero_day_vulnerability_ie8_ie9_hack_means_you_should_switch_browsers_.html
  You can read about so-called bypass Microsoft here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2757760 but they are so heavy that they are virtually worthless for the average user.

  If you are worried, I suggest the following:
  1. do not visit web sites that you don't know everything.
  2. make sure that your antivirus application is up-to-date.
  3. make sure that you have Microsoft Update set to automatically get updates (not just twice a week, although that normally, it's probably OK): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525
  4 and probably first of all, rather than Finally, download and install another browser, like Firefox or Google Chrome.  If you use one of these browsers instead of Internet Explorer, there is no need to actually remove Internet Explorer (and you still need to use it to get Microsoft Updates).

  Get Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
  Download Chrome here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
  Get opera here: http://my.opera.com/community/opera/get
  Download Safari here (even if apparently Apple growing is more Safari for Windows): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531
