  • Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

    Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
    using Windows 7 sp1

    Original title: usb

    Hello Fred,.

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

    1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

    2 do a reset power coercive.

    1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
    2. Unplug all USB devices.
    3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
    4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
    5. Then install the battery.
    6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
    7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

    The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

    3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

    I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

    Kind regards

  • Why my computer will not collect my memory card when it is inserted into the slot

    I recently got a new memory card.  I wanted to put pictures on my computer but it will not pick up what I've inserted.  There is a green light, but nothing happens.  I have windows vista.  The last time that I did that it worked very well.  Can someone help me?

    The memory card is a "pro Duo' memory stick.  It's a 8GB.

    Then it is SDHC, and I guessed it was the problem almost certainly is. Card reader isn't most likely plain SD, SDHC, and he can't read the card.

  • my computer will not go into "standby".

    A year ago, I bought a used computer at a local store.  the mobo is an Athlon XP 2100 +, 1.74 GHz with 3 GB of RAM.  It runs XP Home SP3, with auto-mises updated lit.  Since I bought it, I was not able to 'wake up' mode standby - waving the mouse, pressing a key, nothing works.  the only way to recover is to unplug the power and start over.  I contacted the store on this matter, thinking that they are able to 'tweak' something, but at the time, they had a 3 week wait, and as a system used, there was no guarantee (minimum fee of $75, $75 / hr of pocket), so I abandoned this idea.  I have a XP Home CD I bought for my old computer (just in case the preloaded software crashes, which was eventually), but windows indicates that the currently installed version is newer than the version on my CD.  I have a copy of windows 7, but no DVD player, so installation is not an option (most of my current software is not compatible with windows 7 anyway).  ideas, suggestions, etc.?

    Hello

    ·         You have the latest graphics drivers installed?

    A lot of standby and hibernation problems can be attributed to graphics cards. A simple driver update might get hibernation works again.

    Method 1: Check if you have the latest display and video drivers. Log on to the computer manufacturer website and look for the same thing.

    Method 2: Make sure your device is authorised to the computer.

     

    a. open the keyboard Control Panel item, as described in method 1.

    b. click on the hardware tab, and then click Properties.

    c. click the Edit settings button

    Note This step requires administrator access

    d. click the power management tab and check that allow it this device to wake the computer is turned on.

    e. click OK, and then click OK again. Do the same for the mouse and other pointing devices.

    Method 3: An update of the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) could also resolve the issue. Check the website of your system provider to see if one is available.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Regarding the relocation, you will need to the same installation CD that was used to install on this computer. You will need to boot from the CD to reinstall Windows XP by using the CD you have.

  • S2409W, setting HDMI will not go into power saving mode?

    So I searched high and low on these forums of the Dell Community (and other sites) and I've not seen this documented problem. The problem I have is when I plug the cable HDMI to computer (Tower slim 530) to my s2409w, I get a nice clear picture and everything works as expected, until I put the computer in standby mode.  The computer sleeps, but the monitor turns off almost as if he was going to sleep, but then display Saver screen default monitor that says "hdmi cable does not exist.  What I was expecting the screen to go to power save mode. When I use my DVI or VGA cable and put the computer to sleep, the computer and the monitor switch mode 'sleep' as expected.  This problem only occurs with HDMI. I tried setting the screen "automatic detection" and "hdmi" for the selection of cable and no work to put the monitor to sleep. Anyone has a solution, or similar experiences?  I've seen a lot of posts on power audio hdmi save the problem, but not with this one.

    -Thank you

    I know this is an old thread, but I had the same problem with another Dell monitor and a homemade computer.  In another thread, someone said that some cables HDMI I have this problem, and others do not.  I just wanted to confirm that it IS THE CABLE.

    I swapped HDMI cables with my TV.  The TV had a cable older and thicker.  Immediately after that, the monitor will now sleep just right.  What I can guess is the skip of thin cables really cheap make the connections required for this feature since the TVs didn't have standby mode.

  • Computer will not start normally, in safe mode or from the recovery disk - stays on the Green loading bar of microsoft

    I got to my computer today and there was a blue screen with white writing about him say a word on the internal discharge. Then later in the day, the computer froze, after a while the screen went black with just the cursor on the screen. I restarted the computer and now it just does not start. In normal mode it gets as far as the loading screen Windows with the movement of green bar but stays on it indefinitely. If I try to start in safe mode it gets as much as crcdisk.sys and then crashes, and if I try to boot from the Vista recovery disc, it also only gets the windows loading green bar and stay on it.

  • The mouse is not responding in screen saver mode

    When my phone goes to the screen sleep screen my mouse will not respond and when I move it so that the screen saver turns off, but the keyboard works. I'm using the Toshiba provided the default screensaver when I bought the laptop

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Hello

    So, first of all: the screen saver has absolutely nothing to do. It s of a driver problem and I suggest you to update your driver software of touchpad and touch pad.

    A better idea would be to uninstall everything that has to do with the touchpad, and then install the latest version of this software.

    Another good idea would be to update all existing drivers in your system and do all the updates system (related to windows).

    My printer will go in standby mode it prints blank pages approximately every 10 minutes and goes on all day and night the only way to stop is to turn off the printer. Has only started doing the last two weeks. Have rebooted and makes no difference. Anyone know what I can do to stop it.

    Hello Lollypop123,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    Generally, when this kind of problem happens, it has to do with a problem of power or in most cases, are missing.

    Please make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    When the printer is connected to a wall outlet, and it is running back, please use the power button to do a proper feeding cycle.  This will make a partial reset on the printer.

    You are more than welcome to write me again if you have any other questions or if the troubleshooting does not help to solve your problem, I suggest you then call HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

    Thanks for your time.

    See you soon,.
