DVD drive not reading CDs/DVDs

MrSteveSomeone — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:21:02 +0800

Hi, I have an HP laptop (not sure of the exact model) running Vista home premium. I'm having problems with my DVD drive reading discs. It simply doesn't. I've rarely used the drive in the year I've had the laptop. Also I recently reformatted about 2 months ago. I thought the issue might have been caused by my external hard drive that I purchased & started using right after I reformatted. I have a Western Digital portable drive that creates what appears to be a separate CD drive with the letter "i". I'm not sure how & if I can disable it. I've tried using the drive without my external plugged in but that didn't help. Anyone have any advice on what I can do? Thanks in advance.

Laptop won't go into sleep mode because of my mous

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:05:38 +0800

Recently I noticed that my laptop would no longer go into sleep or the screen shut off after a period of time. I did a few searches online and really didn't find much except one mention of a wireless mouse causing the problem. I unplugged the USB receiver and sure enough the screen shut off. Is there a way to get the laptop to shut off the screen or sleep with the receiver still in? I know the "obvious" solution would be to just unplug it but I really don't want to do that. This never happened when I had my old Logitech wireless mouse which is weird. I now have a Microsoft one. Any help would be great.

Laptop disconnects internet when switching users

MrSteveSomeone — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 09:10:46 +0800

I just got my first laptop recently & am noticing a slight problem that bugs me. Whenever, for instance, my wife switches to here username it disconnects my username from the internet therefor disconnecting my messaging programs. Is there a way around this?

PC takes close to 10 minutes to reboot

MrSteveSomeone — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:24:27 +0800

So I got up this morning and needed to restart my PC. It took close to 10 minutes before it finally restarted. It just kept at the screen that says it's restarting on Vista and the blue circle was moving. So after I finally get restarted a message pops up about an unexpected shutdown. Well it couldn't be unexpected since I did it myself. It also had a little dialogue box with the following:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:

Now that "BlueScreen" scares me. Is this something I need to look into? This happened to me about a month ago but I didn't think it was a problem. Thought maybe it had to do with not restarting my PC for a few days.

External hard drive suddenly not recognized

MrSteveSomeone — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:55:07 +0800

I just got home from work and as I went on my PC, I noticed that my external drive was no where to be found. I rebooted several times and tried different USB ports. Still nothing. If anyone can please help me out. I have a lot of stuff on that drive. I didn't do anything different at all to my system since I've been working all day.

I'm running Vista also.

Need help with wireless network

Need help with wireless network

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:57:42 +0800

First off I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense or seems a bit jumbled. I'll try my best to state my problem. I recently moved and needed to invest it a wireless adaptor in order to get internet where I live. The main computer is downstairs running XP with a Linksys Wireless-N router. This router to be exact: Linksys Wireless-N router. Now I'm upstairs running Vista using this USB adapter: Netgear USB adapter. Now each time I log on to my PC the Netgear program will pop up and search for a connection. Sometimes it finds it, sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time I have to use the Windows network icon on my taskbar to connect. The Netgear program will still show as "scanning" even though I'm connected. My connection speeds have fluctuated beyond belief. For instance right now I'm downloading something from Rapidshare @ 33.2 kbps. Just the other day I was downloading from the same site @ over 200 kbps. A lot of times I disconnect randomly and other times fine. Slow sometimes, fast sometimes. Now I understand that we are on different floors but isn't that what the N-series routers/adaptors are for? I'm just wondering if there are some settings I need to tweak with the firewall or somewhere in Vista to maintain a solid connection. Should I not allow the Netgear program to start up instantly? Is it because one PC is XP and the other Vista? Also my PS3 barely will connect to the network as well. I'm just at a loss since I've spent over $200 for what I thought was gonna be pretty solid networking products. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Media Card Reader Drives Disappeared

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:25:03 +0800

Just recently I purchased a new camera. The first time I put in my SD card in my reader it worked fine. Now earlier today when I'd click on the drive letter for that slot with the card in nothing showed. Now all my drives have disappeared. And by drives I mean J: K: L: etc. There were about 5 for each slot. I don't under why they are gone now. I did nothing that would've affected it.

Remove on-screen volume indicator

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:45:52 +0800

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this but I am using Vista so I figured it was.

Just a minor thing I wanna get rid of but can't for the life of me find out how/where. When I use the volume control on my HP keyboard it shows an indicator on the screen:

Screenshot

Now I haven't installed any keyboard software and as far as I know there isn't anything installed. I've had this pc for a couple of months and this is the keyboard that came with it. If anyone could give me any idea on how to stop this from showing up I'd much appreciate it.

Need help removing virus and/or viruses

MrSteveSomeone — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:51:50 +0800

I'm not sure how my PC became infected. I don't download from unreliable sources and such and I thought I had my PC rather protected. Earlier this evening after I got from work I noticed that an attempted change to my registry was blocked by Spybot's TeaTimer. I denied the change and it kept coming up and denying. So I rebooted. I instantly was greeted (after a slow startup) with a virus.

Avast found this: Win32:TratBHO [Trj]

I deleted. It found it again. I'm at a loss. Here is my HJT log. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

PC freezes when I try to delete a user account

MrSteveSomeone — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 10:06:03 +0800

I made a separate user account on my PC b/c I needed to check something. Anyway when I try to delete it, my control panel freezes and comes up "not responding". No matter what I do. I can't delete this account without it freezing. Anyone have any ideas?

Cannot get rid of virus

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:16:32 +0800

My PC got a virus after I had clicked a file that I scanned with AVAST and showed no viruses at all. Each time I start up, I get the AVAST message and click DELETE but it's obviously doing nothing. Here is a shot of the menu and some info on the virus.

[addedon]August 21, 2007, 12:24 pm[/addedon]UGH! I don't know why it posted this 3 times. It never went through and I got a server error from the site.

Anyways. If someone can help me, I'd much appreciate it. I really don't know why AVAST didn't catch the virus when I scanned the file initially. I should've known better anyway.

Multimedia keys not working on my keyboard

MrSteveSomeone — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 08:27:49 +0800

Well most of them at least. I've installed the drivers and software from the CD. I open the program which allows me to set which programs to open for which button. Very few of them work. Most of them do nothing, such as the LOG OFF, EJECT, MY COMPUTER, etc. Also with the media buttons when I'm using Windows Media Player 11 they don't work properly. If I press pause it will pause for a split second unless I hold the button. It will pause for as long as I hold it but once I let go it plays. The track buttons skip like 2 or 3 songs also.

I'm almost about to give up on this thing. Especially considering I paid $30 for it as well as another $15 just for P/S2 to USB converter.

Oh yeah the kind of keyboard I have is a HP Multimedia Keyboard #P2359AA. Hope that helps. Thanks in advance.

"Language bar" toolbar keeps starting up with PC

MrSteveSomeone — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 01:16:39 +0800

For some reason on my girlfriend's username, the language bar toolbar boots up everytime. I don't see anything out of the ordinary that starts up that might trigger this. I am usually TuneUp Utilities 2007. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Downloads won't start back up after I exit/restart

MrSteveSomeone — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 21:04:34 +0800

I've been noticing that after if I have a DL going strong and decide to close uTorrent before it's done, when I start back up, the DL won't connect at all. Plenty of seeds and such but just no DL going. Any clue what's happening?

Wireless network constantly disconnecting

MrSteveSomeone — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 22:40:22 +0800

Hey guys, I'm having a little problem. Well actually it's my friend's laptop I'm trying to fix for 'em. Lately their net has been disconnecting then reconnecting in a few. Just wanted to find out how to clear out all the wireless connections [there are a lot] since he got this PC from his dad. Anywho, the modem is a Motorola SB4200. The router is a LinkSys WRT54G. And the wireless card is a LinkSys Wireless-G Noebook Adapter. 2.4GHz and 802.11g. Any help would be much appreciated. Wireless connections are one thing I'm not that familiar with. Thanks in advance.

"System Alert!" Icon/Message appearing in taskbar

MrSteveSomeone — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:27:30 +0800

I'm trying to fix a friend of mine's PC and this is one thing I'm trying to fix. In the taskbar there constantly is an icon that has a balloon that pops up saing it's detected a virus and when I click it it takes me to some VERMIN anit-spyware site. I've tried running scans with Ad-aware, Spybot and avast but no luck. I've tried to disable certain statup items. Again, no luck. Nothing in the control panel to uninstall looks odd. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Getting an error message when I use TYPE TOOL

MrSteveSomeone — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:47:59 +0800

I've been using Photoshop 7 for years now and have never encountered any problems. Just yesterday I was trying to use the TYPE TOOL and when I'd click the picture I wanted to use it on, I got this message:

Thought maybe it was something to do with the particular picture so I tried a blank canvas. Same message. After I closed PS, I got the regular program error blah blah blah message. Tried rebooting. Same thing. I even reinstalled. Same thing.

The only thing I could think have caused this was when I installed the latest PS, I think CS2? I uninstalled it b/c I didn't like it and I think maybe there might still be some conflict with the older version. I've ran numerous registery cleaners with 2 programs I use regularly.

Anyone have any advice or idea what's wrong?

Question about changing DSL service since I moved

MrSteveSomeone — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 15:14:15 +0800

I just recently moved and had DSL installed and hooked up today. Before I moved I was connected to the net using a router and a modem [obviously] since I was living with a few people and had a home network. Now it's just me and therefore I don't need the router. I got a new modem from my phone company. I plugged it up and it seems to be working OK. Just a bit slow and sluggish which is odd b/c it was the same company as before.

But my question is do I need to change anything on my computer for it to fully recognize a new method of connecting online w/o the router and a new IP address and such?

Not sure if I'm really making sense. But I'm just wondering if the computer is still recognizing the connection as if I was at my old house.
