My cd drive stopped working and I received some instructions to uninstall and then reinstall it. Needless to say, I assumed that the automatic driver search feature would find the driver. So I uninstalled the driver and the system could not find the software to reinstall the driver. I have gone to the Microsoft site to find the driver, but it is not available there. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue so that I can use the CD to my laptop. Microsoft Windows 7. Thanks. View the thread

Cannot get past the desktop any longer. Freezes up, clicking on dialog boxes does nothing most of the time. Clicking on some dialog boxes will close them but leaves the box empty and completely whited out. The icon over the task bar is different than that that is over the desktop. Everything works just fine in safe mode. I've worked on this for almost 3 weeks and have given in to asking for help. One of my diagnostic checks gives multiple(IRQ) did not set in time. (OFOO:0132 or OFOO:XXXX ) Running Vista Basic 32 bit. Have done a system restore (not a complete reboot) and it made it so that the cursor would move around on the desktop (but produced no results most of the time) as opposed to before when the cursor was just immediately frozen. Also received DST Short Test Failed and OFOO:065D. Disk-DST Self Test Read Error. Remember that in Safe Mode I can do everything just fine. It's the only way I can access the internet. If ANYONE can help me I will be forever indebted to your kindness. View this thread

When I start my computer I get a message saying that " Windows cannot find the file C:Docume~1ownerLocals~1Temp{57991~1.exe. " After I click ok I get another message saying Windows cannot open .... This started a few days ago after I installed aMcAfee antivirus program. Even if I could find this file I don't want to touch the registry. If I just ignore the message will it cause any problems? (From similar questions on this site it seems to be malware). Also my antivirus software keeps telling me, incorrectly, that my subscription is about to expire and if I want to stop the annoying pop up about the "expiry" date I should uninstall, then reinstall the McAfee software. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Would uninstalling then reinstalling the anti virus software help? Thanks, Keri View this thread

How does one go about getting help with BSODs? I've got one that happens regularly and a couple of other isolated ones. I have BlueScreenView and DriverView to look at the errors but not sure where and how much to post to get a guru to help me identify where the driver, software or hardware issue is. Al Donn - *** Email address is removed for privacy *** - new to this. I have dump files for each. Here is a sample of the 3 BSODs. The top one happens once a week at least - seems like when I'm in sleep mode mostly. 111612-16816-01.dmp 11/16/2012 10:54:30 AM DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE 0x0000009f 00000000`00000003 fffffa80`0fc2c060 fffff800`00b9c3d8 fffffa80`127e3760 ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0 NT Kernel & System Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Microsoft Corporation 6.1.7601.17944 (win7sp1_gdr.120830-0333) x64 ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0 C:WindowsMinidump111612-16816-01.dmp 8 15 7601 1,289,224 111512-16988-01.dmp 11/15/2012 4:15:49 PM PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000050 ffffffff`8b49305b 00000000`00000001 fffff880`0ff41205 00000000`00000005 USBPORT.SYS USBPORT.SYS+1156a x64 ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0 C:WindowsMinidump111512-16988-01.dmp 8 15 7601 331,696 110912-15724-01.dmp 11/9/2012 3:45:08 PM DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x000000d1 fffff6fc`001746e8 00000000`00000002 00000000`00000000 fffff880`0171306e NETIO.SYS NETIO.SYS+106e x64 ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0 C:WindowsMinidump110912-15724-01.dmp 8 15 7601 286,992 Is there any class to teach me how to read the dump and find the failing program?

I'm from the Philippines, and I was trying to add a default credit card in the Account Settings. Sadly the only available country is USA and Canada. Hence I cannot make any purchases in the Windows store. I was hoping to make a few magazine subscriptions. I would really appreciate any help regarding this matter. Apart from this, I'm really loving what this new OS has to offer. Thanks in advance. View the full article

Hi, Office 2013 prominently gives users the option to save to SkyDrive - if they have a Microsoft (Hotmail, Live, XBox etc) account they just need to enter a username and password and they are away, nice and easy. Unfortunately, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, company policy forbids the use of cloud services on information security grounds. The only GPO setting I can find relating to this is User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Office 2013/Miscellaneous/Show SkyDrive Sign in Unfortunately, this doesn't fully remove access to SkyDrive. Am I missing something? Thanks, Tim View this thread

I am using XP and I was using AVG which I could always rely upon to do my weekly automatic Full Scan. I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials since early summer but I am a little concerned that it wont kick in and do my weekly scan automatically. I always have to do it manually. Is this a common problem as I know of two ther people with the same problem. I have double checked all of the settings and everything is as it should be. View this thread

Hi Guys, I have upgraded my Lenovo Desktop Pc from windows 7 Pro to Windows 8 Pro which worked without any issue for couple of days. But it all went wrong after downloading and installing the new updates. I restarted the PC and it got stuck on configuring updates on 13%. I waited for half an hour, PC restarted and stuck again on 13%. To try to troubleshoot the issue. I turned it off and then press shift+F8 and did the system restore from advanced option and it worked. I ran Windows update troubleshooter which showed me that problem has been found but its been fixed and the problem was with "potential windows update database error detected 0*80070490". I checked for the updates again, downloaded and installed them then restarted the machine with a hope that updates will be configured without any issue but encountered the same problem. I am continuously trying to find the solution for it and any help will be appreciated. Thanks View the full article

trying to use Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant download. Downloads OK, but when run gives Unloading The Box dialog "error encountered / unspecified error" View this thread

I am running Vista Home Premium. I recently asked about Widows Defender and Services to improve the computer's performance. I received a satisfactory answer but decided to "go it alone" and have a look at the System Configuration because my computer (laptop) always sounds very business and is prone to slowing right down when I go on line. I tried disabling some of start up and services which went ok initially but I think I got too carried away and things started going wrong such as being unable to connect with the internet so I had to do a system restore. Where I live doesn't have a strong signal for wireless broadband which is not very helpful but that's why I'm trying to optimise my computer to make the most of what I've got. Which brings me to the question whether I should install the Optimiser, I'm a little wary about downloading such things but need some advice on which services I could disable to give a little more performance strength. I get very confused about on that matter, don't understand the terminology. Can somebody help please? View this thread

When composing email, my font settings default to 10 pt. calibri. as soon as I click into the compose area (according to the font drop down box above the email body). If I access that drop down box, my options are only 8, 10, 12, 14 pt....etc. How can I compose using the font size I want?
