I am using a Dell laptop with Windows XP installed. I observed that when starting new programs gets started automatically and my screen resolution changes with desktop icons and size.

The screen resolution changes form 1024 x 768 to 640 x 480. Although I can changes those setting but unable to save them and make them stay. This happens every time I boot my system. I have an ATI Rage 128 Ultra Video Card and the also updated Video Drivers.

I believe the Video card driver is working fine. I tried my best in getting screen resolution but unable to save those settings. I have no clue and if someone can suggest me how to get this done.

My laptop is DELL VOSTRO 3400 series and I have been using it for over one year without having any problem. Operating system is Windows 7. But now the touch pad is not fully working. I have a little cousin who is also using my laptop to play video games. I am not sure that he did something wrong to damage it in my absence.

But there is no sign of scratching or any kind of black spot are there to ensure the physical damage. Is this happening for any kind of operating system error or any other physical part? Please, I need a complete guideline.

To all the experts, I need your attention to resolve the following issue.

I have been using Acer Aspire 5732Z laptop for over one year and enjoying a great service from this machine. But I need to deal with brightness problem urgently. Previously it was running on Windows Vista platform. But last week I installed Windows 7 and after then I can’t change the brightness by pressing Fn+Arrow keys.

I have absolutely no clue why is this happening. Every other thing is going very well except this issue. Is this happening for installing any incompatible driver?

But all the hardware drivers seem good.

Please help me regarding this display problem.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It is always on its best condition, aside from over heating most of the time. Just recently, I am also having issues with its adaptor and the battery icon on my system tray.

Normally, when a laptop is charging, you can see this battery icon moves up and down to show that the charging is already active. But on my laptop's condition, it only happens when I first plug the cord to my laptop then it will stop momentarily. In addition to this, The percentage of the battery level remains to its level. No matter how long I plugged the adaptor on to my laptop. I cannot reach 100% or fully charged my laptop.

My computer run out of the battery even though the charger was plug into it the whole time I am using it. Anyway, that is not the problem since I had an idea that the charger of my laptop is really working weird this days. I am having a hard time connecting it to my laptop, its losing its connection so I have to find a good place for the adaptor to work.

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.

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 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.

My Asus laptop was experiencing slow performance and so I decided to reformat it. The reformat process was successfully done but when I installed its drivers using the Asus CD Driver, my frustration had started.

 I had loaded and run the Assussetup.exe but in the middle of the installation process, it was interrupted with this error prompts “Cannot Execute Kernel Mode Drive Service” and “Can’t Load ASUSWIO.DLL.”

What is the matter with the CD driver?  I had already visited and consulted the ASUS service center to ask a help from them but it took time for them to respond. Therefore, I decided to post this concern in this site hoping that you can help me as soon as possible.

Thank you.

DVD-ROM drive is not showing up on my laptop. The problem started after I updated its drivers this morning. I have windows 7 and I used the roll back driver feature but it didn't fix the problem. I also did system restore and rebooted the laptop twice.

I am using a super DVD – Super multi DL drive and this is the first time that I encountered this problem because my laptop is fairly new. I don't want to reinstall the operating system because I have  a lot of files that needs to be backed up.

Do you have any other solutions that could possibly fix my problem?
