Hey there! My Laptop’s DVD drive is kind of weird.

I am using an Acer Aspire 2950 laptop. It is running on Windows Vista SP2. I can actually play DVDs fine. I can watch two movies, but that I can say, is at most. This is because whenever I am into my third movie, just a few minute of it starting, it will create a clicking sound and the movie will not play. It is like the DVD drive is scratching the DVD. It is so awful to hear, and when I checked my DVD, there is a little bit of scratch.

I want it to work like the other first two DVDs I have played. What seems to be the issue with my DVD drive?

My son’s laptop had experienced the message error “Error loading E6F1873B.DLL” every time he started it. Before the bothersome error happened, he downloaded numerous music videos from the internet. Everything was doing fine but after several hours had passed the computer rebooted by its own and the error message appeared already.

Additionally, during the booting process, it checked the hard drives and said that the hard drive checking is failed and it went back to the above error message. He restarted his laptop for the last time and the same error had been displaying in the laptop’s screen.

Can you please give me some useful insights on how I can help my son? Thank you in advance.

Hi Techs,

I do not know if any one of you are familiar with the software Acoustica. It is a program in which you can record music whether it be acoustic, then you can blend your own voice with it.I am using a headset with it. I tried recording. I am singing and all along, it is not actually capturing my voice.I tried it in a call, specifically in Gtalk, but unfortunately, my friend on the other line cannot hear me.

Well, first and foremost, I made sure that I am not on mute. I do not have another headset to try. I just want to know if there are other ways for me to isolate the issue and find out where the problem really lies.

Appreciate if somebody can answer.

I was running the Mozilla Firefox when I received this error message “Error Loading C:WINDOWSsystem32wscuiex.cpl, 1% is not a valid win32 application.” 

I had just installed the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) into my laptop to increase the performance of my hard disks as suggested by my uncle. The RAID’s installation was actually successful but 2 minutes after the successful installation, my laptop worn-out in the RAID configuration with a black message saying

Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>system32Hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.

Can anyone help me please? I am helping a friend on this concern. My friend’s CanoScan3000Fscanner had this error message appeared on his computer’s monitor when he did some scanning jobs saying “Error in scanner.

Turn off scanner and follow instructions in manual. Scanner driver will be closed.(Code: 201).” The available option directed me to click the OK button.

When I clicked it, this second error message occurred “There is a TWAIN error. Maybe the device is not connected.”

I had checked the cables and everything was normally mounted into its proper ports. I had already uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it hereafter but the same error appeared. 

Any valuable and reliable suggestions and recommendations please! I was in the middle of my scanning job serving our customers when I heard a loud and an irritating noise from my HP PSC 750 model and this error was displayed in the screen “Scanner Failure: Power off and on again.”

I had bought this scanner one year ago. My friend told me to turn off my printer and unplug it for about 15 minutes to reset its memory into the default setting.

I did many times on what my friend had suggested but the same error occurred. What will I do to solve the concern since my home is very far from the nearest HP customer support location? Thanks.

Hi

I need a copy of bootable CD and a friend of mine from other branch  office already share the DVD Rom drive so I can access it through the internet so I can copy the files directly. We're using the same domain and I can access it using windows explorer by typing \[computer name][drive name]  but the problem is I don't think if I copy the files directly to other folder the CD copy can be use for booting. I mean I can copy the files perfectly but not working if I want to use it to boot up the laptop.

I was thinking of changing it to iso first then after that the iso file will be burn to CD. I'm sure it can be use for booting but I dunno how to change the files to iso and I don't have any software to create iso file. 

Hi Techs,

Well aside from my Out of Office Assistant Issue, once again, I am having an Outlook issue but not directly to it. It has some connection with my Microsoft Communicator 2007. I am receiving this error:

There was a problem connecting to Microsoft Office Outlook. Outlook is not installed or configured correctly. Repair or reinstall Outlook, and then sign out and sign back in to Communicator.

I am a little too exhausted finding out that after a good vacation, problems will welcome me in the office. I am able to sign in fine with Communicator, but I do not want to see any error messages with the program that I am using.

Hey,

I just installed Limewire and I am having trouble with it. Right when the prompt came for the installation of Java, it suddenly froze. I tried to wait for it to complete the installation, but it will not. So, what I did was put the installation to a halt, uninstalled the Limewire application completely and restarted my computer. I am not sure what seems to be the conflict of my Java to the Limewire application, but obviously, there is something that needs to be checked.
