I have a Neo Empriva 572SVB running Windows Vista Ultimate. A few weeks ago whenever I click to open a folder the computer tries to send the folder to the recycle bin istead of opening it. Thinking I had a virus, I clean installed Vista, formatting my drive from the installation disk. I finished install and after a short time, the problem begins again.
I have done 3 clean installs but the problem keeps coming back.
Help!!

Ok so I have a Toshiba Satellite P205 S6287 and for the past 2 weeks I have been having a lot of problems.
At first it would retsart by itself a lot a lot with a Blue Screen, but it hasn’t happened as much.
It freezes every few seconds.
My laptop will open up disks like photos and what not, but will not even reconize a DVD and I used to be able to play dvds on here.
It used to run really fast and good, but now it runs really horrible and slow….
I have read some of the other comments on similar topics
and it said BAD MEMORY, BAD HARD DRIVE, RUN A TEST and stuff like that I clicked on the testing link but I wasn’t sure how to do it. (I get confused if words are not simple words I understand a lot better if I am told step by step)
Also I have this Nortan Anti Virus and at one point I had a few viruses some TROJAN type thing my bf cleared them up and then it was still running great, but I read that these dont clean up viruses 100% all the time, but I run full sytem scan every 2 days just about and nothing come up and it will run all day pretty much and it shows nothing. I have tried the system repair but it shows that nothing is wrong with my comp. I just dont know wut else to do. I have asked differant people and they dont know whats wrong with it they just tell me to restart it or take the battery out(which I did. I left battery out over night a few times but nothing changed) I dont know what else to do so if you can please help me!

Thank You

I recently purchased an Acer One (netbook) that I would like to connect, wirelessly ( since it does not have a modem), to the internet using a Sony Vaio laptop as an aceess point.
The Vaio connects to internet via dial-up (ADSL not available in my area).
Everything I read says this is possible ( by ad hoc connection) & following all network connections instructions doesn’t help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Liz,

I had played some music in my windows media player & burned some cd’d and it worked great until the e drive won’t read any disk. You can hear it running at times. Then after that my windows media player disappeared.

Could be software related problem. Did you try to use system restore utility to revert it back to the time when your laptop worked fine?
Try it.
Start menu – All Programs – Accessories – System Tools – System Restore.

Hello!

I have an Acer Aspire 4920-5A2G16Mi. It was supposed to have Linpus Linux OS but I preferred to have Windows Vista Home Basic as the OS so I have it changed. I do not know if it is the main reason but the problem is that headset seems not to be functional with the laptop. Even if I plug in the the green and pink jack, the speaker continues to produce the sound and not the headset. It has a realtek drive, by the way. I hope Somebody can assist me with this. Thanks.

Mirza,

I have a Toshiba A105-S4014 but it had some problem with the motherboard so it was replaced and when used a third party software it shows the model A100. The original Cd of Windows which came with the Laptop was Windows XP Media center but now it doesnt work with it.

Are you getting a “Wrong Machine” error when you rung the recovery disc? Apparently, the motherboard DMI is incorrect and it has to be reprogrammed as I mentioned in this post.
I think in your case the DMI string is “Satellite A100″ instead of “Satellite A105″ and because of that the laptop “thinks” that you have a wrong recovery disc.
You have two options:
1. Take your laptop to the authorized repair center and ask them to change the DMI string.
2. Install generic version of XP.
