My cd-rom has stopped working on my laptop. It has an exclamation point over the driver, and says windows cannot load the device driver. (code 39). I cannot load the driver again from the recovery disk because the cd rom does not work! any help would be greatly appreciated

I took BitLocker off my system, at least the mini-boot partition it makes since I didn't have the chipset for it on my puter and made my C:\ partition the system one again. Now I have a Vista (Recovered) showing up on my boot screen. It boots well, but I'm wondering why it's that way. Thanks, John

I Am Having Screen Saver Issues With Both Vista SP2 And 7 On My Dell XPS 630I!

I'd like to know where my password is stored, one entered whenever I log in Windows I am using Utimate Vista. I like to understand how I can see the unmasked password I enter every form using IE7.

Can someone help please? I have recently changed something in my documents folder which means everything I try to open (i.e.) photos try to open in a word document! Many thanks.

I have been running Microsoft Word 2003 on Vista with no problems for about 5 months. However I recently tried to save a Word document, using the save icon, and the computer did not respond to the command. I then tried using save as, and the same thing happened. I excited Word, and was asked if I wanted to save. I clicked yes, but the command was not registered. I have tried restarting my...

Since Windows OneCare does not work with the Beta, what anti-virus will? TIA

I'm running Vista Business, and installing a program that uses Chinese characters (Tencent's "QQ"). Although I can read webpages, type in Chinese (in MSN, Word, etc), the program's interface is supposed to be in Chinese, but instead displays random symbols, numbers. The program installs fine on XP with the Chinese language pack, but not on Vista Business. How can I make the characters...

Its taking 15mins or more for Vista to boot up! I'm running intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz, 1 gb ram, everthing was great when I first installed, now its taking forever! Any solutions? I installed a download program from EA, could this have caused this? It is agonizing to wait for it to start up. Also, when this happend, Vista would not shut down my case, vista would shut down, but not cut the...

I have vista and am often finding that when using windows explorer or programs such as word every now and then when I click on a directory or use the menus it comes up with not responding and wipes out the whole of my desktop, leaving me with the only option of using ctrl-alt-del and logoff, restart or shutdown is this a common fault with this pile of crap?

This is the weirdest thing. Wife's computer wouldn't work She had XP Pro. I tried Repair, no joy I tried fixing it via Safe Mode, no joy. it would run in Safe Mode but in Normal mode, no joy. I tired restore points, they wouldn't work even though I had scheduled restore points once a day.

Well, the first thing I noticed when I got my Acer Aspire M5640; was it didn't come with a boot/format/restore disk. I figured, well hell, if anything went wrong I'd just install which I love much better to be Windows XP. Turns out, that isn't the case. After my "TCPIP.sys"(registry file, and network protocol driver); I managed to have no internet, unable to fix it, I decided now was the best...

I have now installed Windows 7 on 4 different systems; an HP quad core desktop, a Lenovo T61p laptop, an HP TX26XX Tablet PC and on the HP 2133 Mini-Note. In my opinion, Windows 7 is the best version of Windows I have ever used and I've used every version except version 2 and Me. Windows 7 fixes the boot, performance and shut down issues in Vista while keeping the glass and transparency...

I used desktop search on XP across the lan to my buffalo network drive just fine. With vista ultimate it will not let me add the drives to the search list. I went and manually edited them into the list with the security tool of windows. That did not do it either. I set the search to search only names and search with out the index for now but that is slow and I have to click each drive...

Hello... Having (so far) two major problems w/ Vista (aside from all that permissions crapiola): 1) I cannot install Microsoft Streets & Trips 2) When I attempt to install Adobe Illustrator (CS3), I get a message that reads:

I can't help but wonder whether Microsoft found a way to get everyone to spend another ninety to a hundred bucks every few years to replace a flawed OS with another questionable one. Perpetual upgrades bring in bucks.

I get a DELL Vista desktop lately. The software manager pops up this morning. I cannot find this software in Program List and thus cannot remove it. I would like to seek your advice 1) What is this software for and why it is installed ? 2) Should I remove it ? 3) It says that there is a "Update Manager Critical Update December 2008", should I install it ?
