For some reason I always getting a message that says my usb device is disconnected. After a couple of minutes, it will say connected again. It’s very annoying to hear the disconnection sound.

Right now these are the usb devices that are connected to my Dell Optiplex.

  • USB optical mouse
  • USB stick modem
  • Keyboard

I don’t know if the problem is on my devices or with the usb port of my computer. I tried unplugging them all and use them one by one but I still got that message. Also, I checked device manager and everything seems to be fine.

I replaced my hard drive because the old one is already defective. There are lots of pictures and videos that I wanted to recover from that hard drive.

I don’t know how to do it. It was the Seagate 500GB SATA. When I tried to use it, it doesn’t boot to windows. It just says hard drive failed. I hope I can recover those files using my new hard drive that is currently working.

I’ve done research on the internet but I can’t find anything.

Hello,

I have NERO burner cd and i burn some music videos and save it onto a DVD tape. The process were completed but when i inserted to the DVD player the one burned from the computer, It says "Unsupport format" "Invalid Key" when i press play button.

Do you have an idea why the video cannot be played on DVD player?

I thought NERO is burner software?

Do you think it's the file format of the software? How can we convert video on MP4 file format that compatible to DVD player?

Apart from NERO what other software that can burn cd/DVD?

Thanks post your answers here.

The right click of my mouse is not working. My friend is the last one to use my personal computer at home. I did not take it as a joke when he told me that he'll play along with my PC and I have to resolve the issue myself. I guess I am challenged so I tried to check the mouse settings, however, all are in place.

Bad timing, I was so lazy enough to search this on the internet. Rather, I just want to wait for someone who will provide me the answer and then I'll try if this will resolve my issue. I have asked another friend and gave me an idea that it can be in the registry edit, but I do not want to touch it unless I was sure on what to do. Kindly help.

Any concern please! I was very busy and exhausted doing some researches for my thesis last night and I forgot to turn off my Dell laptop. When I woke up in the morning, I already saw a black screen. When I started it, only this message appeared “Windows Root>System32NTOSKRNL.exe. Re-install a copy of the above file. ”

I restarted my PC again with the hope of reaching the Safe Mode and Setup options, but I didn’t. I also tried of rebooting it through the CD-ROM but it nothing significantly happened. What is the problem on my laptop? I cannot remember that I had mounted any hardware or uninstalled any software.

Any help is appreciated.

I had bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptop almost one year ago. Recently, I noticed most of the time when I started my laptop, the error message describing that the battery it uses is not a recognizable battery.

I removed the battery, cleaned it and attached it again. When I started the laptop for the second time, another error had occurred saying “The model number for the primary battery cannot be determined. This will prevent any battery present from charging. Please insert a Lenovo battery for best system operation.” Actually, when I am in home, I am not using the battery.

I am directly connecting my laptop to AC cord. Most of the time, I am using the battery only when I travel. Does this situation affect the lifespan of the battery?

Good day!  

I am a student and frankly speaking, I cannot afford the payment that the computer technician had asked me to, to rectify the problem that my Toshiba laptop is experiencing at the moment. Here is what  happened to my laptop. I installed a 500GB external hard disk into it.

When the installation was finished, the command manager asked me to restart it for the new installed hardware to take effect. During the booting process, the blue screen appeared with the message that there is a hardware error occurred. I immediately used the recovery disk that I have to recover the original settings of my laptop but the same error in hardware had been occurring.

I had a very great time playing my favorite games on my PC when this error code stopped me “Unable to initialize DirectX drivers. It is most probably caused by a video or DirectX drivers which are outdated or not installed properly or insufficient video card capabilities.

Please note that the game requires #D-accelerated video card with 8 MB or more video RAM and properly installed video drivers (most recent version) and DirectX 8.0 or higher to launch. ” My Lenovo G460 laptop has NVIDIA GeForce 310M 512 MB graphics, 500 GB HDD Storage, 4 GB DDR3 memory and Core i5-520m processor.

Is there a problem with my computer specifications? Or is it the application drivers that caused the problem? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

My computer does not detect my Creative Subwoofer Speakers.  It has no disk since you can plug it and play with your computer. I attached the cords properly according to the instructions. I searched on the Device Manager to check if my sound controller are configured and properly installed. The driver for Realtek High Definition Audio is installed. It is one of those software that is pre loaded when I bought my computer. But every time I am playing an .MP3 or a video with audio, an error is appearing, it says:

"No Audio Output Device is installed".

 I have recently installed a Netgear router onto my Windows 98 Acer laptop. One day after, while I was so busy playing my favorite online game, this disgusting error had appeared on the computer screen saying “Windows Protection Error.

System Halted” and it required me to restart my computer. 

Of course, I didn’t think of restarting my laptop just because of the error until I realized that it already gave me an irritating situation. 

Is this concern somewhat related with virus protection and the Netgear router that I had installed? Currently, I am using McAfee Antivirus Plus and it does not detect any virus on my computer.

How can I fix it? I would really appreciate a little help. Thank you so much.
