Hi Recently my PC auto updated to SP3. Since then my DVD burner/Rom is not able to read blank DVDs/CDs (imation)!! The moment I place an empty DVD to burn some data, my PC restarts. DVD ROM is able to read any CD or DVD which already has data or movie in it. I am not sure that is the problem. Once (PC got re-booted) windows stated that my PC has recovered from serious error. After checking the report that was created, some BCP codes and some other codes were stated in the report. I googled the problem and bought Regcure to fix the error. Since then I have never rec'd this error whenever my PC reboots its self after I place a blank DVD/CD in my DVD RO…

I'm having trouble accessing any User after the Welcome screen. Windows XP SP2 boots okay to the user Welcome screen. When I pick a user it starts 'loading the settings', thee background comes up, no desktop icons and then suddenly it goes to 'saving the settings' and back to Welcome screen. I first tried rebooting and also Safe Mode (using Administrator) but same result. Figuring XP needs a driver or repair, when I try to use the OEM XP cd to boot it gives me "install XP, create or remove partition" When I touch any key it goes to blue screen. 2 messages - either 0X8E or 0X50. From there I've tried removing recent slave HDD and added SIMM but no change. …

When a program or process is terminated, stopped or ended, it does not fully stop and is seen hanging around in the Windows Task Manager _ Precesses screen. It then has to be terminated by clicking on 'End process'. This happens with all applications. Some won't restart and gives the message 'application already running', even though it is not obvious on the screen. At the same time, on shutdown, a popup window appears advising svchost.exe - waiting to shut down. If the 'end now' is clsicked, the program ends but the computer takes >1 min to shut down. Are these problems related and is there a fix?

Windows XP Media Center edition. In the task bar where active tasks (i.e. firefox) sit when they are running, there is a process/task called "unlock". The only options available are minimize and close. I took a tasklist /v from the command line and saved it to a text file and started looking at the active processes. I didn't see anything odd, the usual svchost etc. So I closed the "unlock" and took another tasklist -v To my surprise, there was no difference in size between the before an after images. I did some googling but couldn't find anything about "unlock" that looked specific enough to tell me what' going on. I'm not at that computer now, but…

My problem started with a quick DOS message saying an application failed. This occurred as I was loading a game disk ( warlords ) that I've played for years on this PC. The PC will no longer autorun the disk. I had no Idea what happened so I put in on my wifes PC and it ran fine. In the error log , over and over it says " the specified module could not be found" How do I find out what is missing? I tried to go back and restore the system. There six restore points available, and not one of them would work. I have dissabled the restore option for now. I've run spybot search and destroy, AFG and addware and no errors found. I was going to try DrWatson, but my…

If you have access to a PC with Windows XP go to the Windows folder and then System32. Find clipbrd and copy it, save to USB key. On your Vista PC goto Windows folder again and then system32 and paste it in from the USB key. Right click the clipbrd and select 'send to desktop as shortcut' This works as I have used it in several Vista PC's now. -- bristolborn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bristolborn's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/bristolborn.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/662338.htm http://forums.techarena.in

I had the same problem did everything microsoft advised to no effect. BUT I DID SOLVE IT it by removing all the ticks for filters in the compatability options. These things get added when you load a n others video playing/editing software. So far I havent noticed anything other than I can now load and edit video again.

Hi All, I have a question on using NTFS compress partition. I used to use NTFS without compress on my mobile disk and have little fragment. Recently, I formatted its all partition and use compress on each partition. When I copy all files back to it, I found that there are so many fragment on each partition. And when I copy a file to it, it shows as fragment. I check all this by using Windows XP defragment. Does anybody know why? Thank you!

This may have already been posted here, just wanted to note there are new Nvidia Nforce drivers out, dated 9/12, version 15.23 Vista 64 bit - http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista64_15.23.html XP 64 bit - http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp64_15.23.html I was running 9.64, in Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I upgraded to these a few minutes ago without issue. Too early for me to comment on any noticeable difference, I have read in other forums, some folks reporting improved network performance, and improved usb performance/ responsiveness. There also is a new " away mode ", not sure exactly what that is or does. -- Don

In verband met de aanbeveling een back-up te maken van het systeem voor installatie, heb ik de installatie van XP3 afgebroken. Echter nu staat er geen icoon meer op de taakbalk (ook niet na herstart van de PC) en kan nergens terugvinden hoe ik XP3 alsnog kan installeren. "Controleren op updates" zegt dat XP3 al is gedownload en alleen maar hoeft te worden geinstalleerd. Hoe dat dan alsnog zou kunnen staat er niet bij. Marc
