Windows7 - error msgs & MGP works does not properly after changing drive letter

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

When first, I partitioned my HARD drive, the 2nd logical drive was labeled J:, who was the next available letter after all the optical drives and integrated flash memory readers.

I prefer to label it D: (to follow immediately from the boot partition which is C :).  I used the functionality of disk management to change the drive letter of the J: to D: (and of course move the rest optical drives and integrated flash memory ready in 1 letter).

When I run some programs, I get this error message:

"There is no disk in the drive. Insert a disc into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4.

Options click below this message are "Cancel", "Try again" or "continue".

Some programs, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Works word processor and spreadsheet, clicking on one of the 3 options will allow the program to operate normally.

For other programs, such as Windows Live Movie Maker, clicking options will cause a "Drive not ready" message and lead to more problems.  For example, I can not load my existing projects, because I can't get to the screen that allows me to navigate through drives and folders to choose my file.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Movie Maker, but the problem is still there.

Seems to me that it is not the individual programs that are at the origin of the problem, but something in Windows 7 itself.

How can I get rid of the error messages and get the programs to run normally?  Do I have to edit the registry of Windows 7?  If so, what will exactly be changed?

Thanks in advance.

Think I found the answer.  Looks like it is a problem of registry after all.  That's what I did:

(1) go to the start menu.

(2) execute Regedit by typing "regedit" in the search box and press .

(3) the search for "J:" in the whole registry.

(4) when a directory path is starting by 'J' and the pursuit of my familiar subfolder names, I should now start with "D:" instead, I right click on it, choose "Edit" and change the "J" to "D".  (Note: I only change to directory paths that looked familiar to me and I'm sure that should now start with "D:".)  I change all instances of "J:" that were found).

(5) once this is over, choose 'File', then 'leave '.

A ran programs that have already given the error message.  No error message comes this time.  Restarted the PC and programs run.  Once again, no error message.  I hope that things stay effortless.

  • Photosmart HP 6510 B211a works does not properly after power failure

    Hi guys,.

    I'm new to this forum, but I hope someone can help me.

    I have a HP all in one Photosmart B211a 6510, which worked like a dream, since I had last winter. We had an unexpected outage yesterday however and once the power came back, the printer insists on the fact that there is no ink in the system. I fear the worst and believe that his brain can be somewhat blurred.

    I have two of your ink cartridges replaced last week with genuine HP ones and everything was fine. My ink level is almost low on the other two, but I have not replaced these yet because it is not necessary.

    Once the power came back, the printer informed me that the magenta ink was 'missing or damaged '. I removed the cartridge, cleaned with distilled water and dry. Once replaced, the printer has changed his mind and told me all the ink cartridges are now 'missing or damaged '. When I opened the printer again, the transport of ink is automatically did not move as usual to allow me to change or remove the cartridges.

    More the touch screen of the printer does not allow me to leave this error message or perform any other function such as cleaning the heads. I tried a soft reset and hard reset, but this proved unsuccessful.

    He's tired? Should I just throw it and head to the stores again?

    Thanks for reading this,

    Fatiha

    Hi rich,

    I replaced the cartridge magenta yesterday and my printer works successfully again! Woohoo!

    My father, an electrician, so between us we have come to the conclusion that when the power came back after the crash there was an electric pick or insufficient tension than normal and this has damaged the chip of the nearest power - the magenta cartridge ink.

    All is well again in any case.

    Thanks for your help - I appreciate it

  • Libraries works does not properly after Downgrade to Windows 7 of 10

    Demoted from 10 to 7 through "Go back to Windows 7" in the control panel-> update of the security & -> Recovery Windows 10. Everything seemed successful, having problems with scheduled tasks (but that's another issue, see reference).

    All my libraries are present and at first glance seem to work fine but I was making a few mistakes in some of my apps used regularly when you access files in libraries. So I decided to track down the mystery and I think it's related to the path of the file property - for example, the path begins with something like:

    '\\?\Volume{31BFC97B-09A1-11E3-8C84-806E6F6E6963}\ '.

    I think that this is related as:

    -When I double-click a video (thanks to my video library) my playlist video application (which should list all the videos in the current folder) displays a list of "\".

    -When I try to transfer files (via Teracopy) I get an error message "widepathmax" four times for each file transferred, and despite all the success, it's very annoying and boring. I've disabled Teracopy and tried again to transfer, but native file transfer has not yet shown upward. All works well when do not transfer files using libraries.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

  • Acer X 1930 works does not properly after the factory restore

    It did not work correctly since the restoration of my desktop Acer X 1930 under Windows 7. Now, it shows: "configuration of the Windows updates failed. Returning from the changes.

    Could someone please help?

    Hello, I had problems even when I went back to 10 Win7... The only way I could make it work just is for the first few newspapers in I had to restart my system rather often. I know that this is not a SOLUTION but is what I did...

    Load Windows 7, let the updates for about 3 minutes... I first tried 8 mins but still many updates. So 3 works for me... I am also connected on wire on a Giga lan with Ultra fast connection to my ISP... So time could vary for you...

    After 3 minutes, I had 20 to 26 update ready to be used. Restart the computer. They worked. Makes about 3 times. ON the 4th time I down load 90 updates to see if it would work. And he did very well. Then after that, I went to look at the missing updates to ensure that they were going to update or had... added some that were OPT... on on the last 50ish and they have all updated very well. But for some reason, if I let all try them and update from the beginning, they would fail. I think it's because they have tried to put in the updates before others will want that needed to be done first...

    I do not work for Microsoft or Acer and it is only first hand from one of my systems. This isn't a fix only my way to make it work.

    So if you have a connection interent fast and no more wireless I would say that for the first time you start your computer just let it run for a few minutes then go to the Start button and restart so you do a little at a time...

    I would like to know how it works for you...

  • WIFI doesn't work does not correctly after driver update

    I have a DESIRE 4 laptop 1023tu with operating system Windows 8 PRO. My WIFI works does not properly after the update drievr.

    Problems...

    1. When you try to connect to a wifi hotspot the quick adapter turns off and allows the card instantly

    2. after connected, sometimes no internet access and the problem turns off only after reconnecting to the netwrok after setting off.

    If the update doesn't work not for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. This philosophy can be applied to all updates.

    If there is no pressure or emerging reason to update to your PC or laptop works just great... do not update. (this is especially true when it comes to an update of the BIOS)

    For your question #2, the problem could be your wireless (modem, router or access point) which causes the connection dropped.

    Best regards

  • OptiPlex 755 USFF does not start after changing the cmos battery

    I have a desktop Optiplex 755 USFF requiring the cmos battery to replace. After the replacement of the computer will not start. It brings up the menu windows start, the sasfe mode, safe mode with network set mode command prompt, security, last know good configuration and boot normally. Any option will bring to the top of the WIndows XP loading screen and then re-boot of the computer right back to the start screen. A big loop. I can get the hard drive to boot in an Optiplex GX280 without problem. I was told of the motherboard needs to be replaced, but I changed the units of the system and the same thing with this hard drive.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system and get all the way to "starting windows" and then the blue screen stop error message 0x0000007B (0xF7A10524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) dead. The computer is WIndows XP SP3, 1 GB of ram with 80 GB hard drive. It seems that the Setup program does not recognize the hard drive.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    After several hours of experimentation, I finally found the correct BIOS settings in order to get the computer to boot. There are three BIOS settings that need to be changed or check settings by default so that it can work. SATA 0 must be activated, SATA operations must be changed from AHCI, ATA and in the modular Bay, by default "far-sighted" should be replaced by the IDE. Save the settings and start the computer to the right upwards.

  • SWF animations works does not properly during export to PDF from InDesign

    I use InDesign CS5 and you have created a document that I want to add interactivity and animations to. I created buttons and page destionations, etc., which all work perfectly when you export to PDF, but the simple animation that I wanted to include do not work. The animations were created in InDesign, then exported as a SWF file and then imported selection placed in InDesign and then exported as an interactive PDF where animations either do not work, have not been picked up or gift does not work as it should. What I am doing wrong, how can I get the animations work properly?

    First of all, if you care about your audience, stop using SWF that has now

    ZERO support on mobile devices.

    However after that make sure that InDesign is fully patched, I would recommend

    Place the SWF file in the PDF file in Acrobat Pro instead.

  • < iframe > works does not properly in IE9

    Hi guys,.

    I designed and developed a website for a client. He asked that we put 3 international clocks that synchronize with our South African time displays the time in 3 other countries. He has actually provided tag < iframe > a site that does this without having to write JavaScripts for clocks and I came down with. I used the < iframe > tags and it works perfectly in browsers on 4/5 that I tested (Firefox 5, Navigator, Safari and Chrome), but for some strange reason it does not work 100% in IE9. It displays the correct time, but the image of the real clock is not rendered. It displays the time under the name digital instead of analog time on an analog clock like on the original site and the other browsers.

    Any of you know if it's just a setting in IE that can be changed or does not recognize the HTML5 < iframe > tags? Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Paragraph styles works does not properly on the table

    I placed a table created in Word, and then on the application of my paragraph styles.  However, not all my styles work fine.  Specifically my style of Description of the tool which includes a nested style.  The nested style does not follow the rules, given that it is.  The name of the tool should in Helvetica Neue Condensed Medium (in uppercase) while the next Description the en dash should be Helvetica Neue Light Condensed (normal caps).  On the contrary, it seems that the middle is applied randomly in the whole of the description.

    Also, when I apply my style request said I find myself with a lot of pink highlighted text implying that the police is missing when it is clearly not column.  This could be due to the recommended symbol?  Any advice on how to work around these issues?  See the picture below which shows the two questions.Style Issue.jpg
