Eject Button Fix On Keyboard
Jan 17, 2011
So I have a Dell studio, I use to run Ubuntu 10.04 on there and I re-installed Windows 7 on there. The problem is my disc drive has a button on the key board to eject the disc cause my I don't have the disc tray I have the slot on the side where you just slide the disc in, since I have re installed Windows 7 it has not worked so I was hoping someone could tell me how to set the button up to where it is the eject button. I know I can right click on the disc in computer and click on eject but if possible I would like by eject button to work properly.

Does anyone know how to make an eject button on the desktop for the CD Burner? My CD Burner's button is recalcitrant and I'd prefer not to have to start up my Nero to eject the disk.

I've looked for driver updates on Gateways website for my PS/2 keyboard. Alas there are none. I even had a live chat w/ support and they said since my computer was no longer under warranty I had to pay for extended cust. serv. He said it was an issue w/ the upgrade but refused to give me any more details. I've been in the device manger and checked for driver updates but it says the drivers are up to date. Every key but my Eject key works. Even the volume buttons right next to the eject button!

I don't really like playing game since start of 2012. But when I play games, when I hold the W button for a pretty long period, the games still thinks I'm holding the W button for a short period of time. This happens in any games. Need For Speed, Counter Strike, Assassin's Creed, etc.
My laptop specification, just in case if needed:
Acer Aspire 4750G
Intel Core i5 2410M @ 2.30 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 540M Cuda 1 GB
8 Gigabytes of RAM

I only learnt about this a couple of weeks ago!If you want to make the Aero Peek button at the far right of your Taskbar into a plain and simple Show Desktop button:Simply right-click the Aero Peek button and un-check the "Peek at desktop" option. Et Voila!! That's it!

recently I used a software AVG PC Tuneup and it has never been a problem for me until a couple of days ago when I decided to install it on my DELL. Now, I went to system advisory and did a system scan on recommended settings, I pressed 'fix selected' and my Wifi was disabled, I tried everything. I can't get my wifi to work without plugging in my modem directly ot my pc. I noticed my wifi radio was disabled, so I pressed the F2 button but nothing worked. I am trying to re enable my wifi radio / wireless radio connection button but it won't work.
My program intel my wifi utility tells me my wifi is disabled but I can't enable it.

It happened on my 2 computers, so it might be a bug:
When the system (through the USB icon) refuses to eject for some reason an USB stick, the icon disappears and doesnt come back even on computer restart. It comes back however when a new USB stick is put in, but not in regular "Customize" process or by itself.
It happened in 7057 build, I didnot check with the other builds.
Could anyone confirm this, too?

I often open content on my (Toshiba) portable hard drive from applications on the local hard drive. In WinXP, I didn't have any problems ejecting the portable drive once I was done and closed the application. ...To be clear, when I did get an "in use" error message, I would simply go into Task Manager and see what offending application processes were still running; once they were stopped, the drive ejected.
Now on Windows 7, the system will not let me properly eject the drive even though the Task Manager shows that I have no applications open on the computer. Each time I try, whether from the taskbar icon or the Devices window, it gives the message that the device cannot be ejected at this time because it's in use. As DaPiit said, this is really annoying because attaching and ejecting USB devices is something I do many times per day! The Windows 7 is not on my machine - I still run WinXP, and this more than anything else is making me REALLY consider finally switching to a Mac instead. (And I've been a Windows user for over 15 years...)
Is there some Windows process that needs to be stopped that I don't know about? I'm really reluctant to just "pull the plug" every time I need to remove the drive.

I'm using win 7 64 bit and every time I try to eject my usb, a message show up informing me that something is still using it. I checked with task manager and find no such thing. I scanned my comp and didn't find any virus.Even if I just plug it in and do nothing, I still got the same problem. If I just yank it out or pick the continue anyway option, the data becomes partly corrupt.

Whenever I try to eject a certain external hard drive using the little icon in the task window, I get a message that it is in use. I am very careful to be sure it is not in use but still get the message. This is a data storage disc. I am not aware of any programs on it that may be running in the background. Is there a way to examine a disc to see just what is being used on it at any given time?

When I insert a disk, the OS reads it correctly, and I can do whatever with it. However when I remove it, Windows still shows the disk is inserted, and inserting another disk causes any program that tries to access it to hang indefinitely (including individual windows explorer instances).
After several hours of google and trying various fixes (including removing the drivers for the dvd-drive and ATA Channel 0-5, disabling windows native burn capabilities, uninstalling CyberLink PowerDVD 8 and Nero Express 9, and everything in this thread), I've got it so that the drive recognizes a single removal of CD/DVD and insertion of a new CD/DVD, however the second time it still gets stuck.
I'm on an Alienware m17x with a TS-T633A DVDRW.

Tonight my desktop stopped working. Up until tonight it was running perfectly as far as I could tell.The only thing that I had noticed about it over the last week or two is the power supply sounded like it was running a little harder/louder than usual and somtimes the noise it made would get louder and then lower and louder and lower sorta like an engine revving up and down but not to an extent that one would raise their eyebrows at it or suspect anything.Tonight I was in the process of visiting the AMD website with the intention of updating the drivers for my video card when the computer rebooted. This process occurred 3 more times over then span of the next 10 minutes..once right after windows had completed bootup and the desktop had loaded, and then 2 more times after bootup and I had logged back onto the Internet.After that final 3rd time I turned the computer off entirely. I clicked the on/off switch on the power supply off and unplugged it. I tried clearing CMOS by resetting the CMOS battery at this time. I then plugged the power supply back in and clicked the on/off switch back on. I go to turn the computer back on and now it will not post. No beebs, no video signal.
I am still getting power to all of the various fans and the DVD-RW burnner turns on and will eject and close. The only thing that I have noticed not working at this time (aside from the lack of post, and ect.) is that the blue light that lights up the on/off button to my mid tower and the hdd light is not working anymore.I have tried reseating everything in the computer twice now but the results are still the same in the computer still won't post anymore.

Does anyone know of a program that allows for you to single-click eject a USB hub and which will eject all the devices connected to it safely? As I understand you can set the policies of the individual devices such that you dont have to do the "Safe Eject" anyways. But Id like a way to just eject the hub instead of ejecting the 2 drives I have connected to it.

I've got a Seagate Free Agent Pro external drive (currently connected via eSATA), which solidly refuses to disconnect from the system, using the "safe disconnect" dance.
Whenever I try, after a pause I get the error message: "This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again." I have tried closing just about everything down, but the message still appears.
1) Is there a way to tell if my drive is actually in use? Can I tell which program is using the drive?
2) Can I force-disconnect the drive in such a way that any pending writes are completed? (i.e., not just disconnecting the cable and hoping for the best)
Before you ask, I did look for device-specific drivers on Seagate's web site. No luck. There's some disk management utilities to help manage backups and/or syncs, but no drivers.

I am running Windows 7, and I connect several external HDDs via a USB hub, leading to the PC on a single USB cable. I have recently installed Windows, and from the start, I have had problems ejecting the media. Here is how it goes:I plug in the disks, they are all functioning, they show up and can be used.I want to eject them so I can disconnect the cable. I go to the system tray, and must click the "show hidden icons" arrow to see the icon for "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media"; I click it and choose one of the disks to eject. Upon doing so, the disk ejects, and I remove it.At that point, the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon moves to the main system ray area (not hidden)--but from this point on, it does not work. No matter how I click or right-click, there is no pop-up menu, no reaction at all. Right-clicking on each drive in the "Computer" window does not reveal any option to eject the disk safely.

I got a new Seagate 500GB HD (sorry about the wrong thread title). For the first two weeks or so, I could eject my HD through "Safely Remove" but since then I get the usual "Generic volume is still in use" message, inspite of closing all processes that might possibly be using it.I keep the HD connected to my PC virtually all the time, even when I shut down and reboot. But every now and then, I need to disconnect it. And to do that, I have to shut down the computer first and then disconnect it.Whenever I update Windows, I see that a temporary folder is created in the HD while the updates are being downloaded which has led me to think that a process uses the HD but I can't find out which one it is and how to terminate it properly.There are no problems when I use the HD in other computers.

Very strange issue with certain compact flash cards being transferred to computer. I have 4 Lexar USB 3.0 CF card readers attached to a HighPoint 4 port USB 3.0 card. When transferring a 1000X CF card I have no problems. Certain cards like a 600X card will transfer fine but when it gets down to 10 files remaining out of over 600 it ejects and then an error pops up saying can't read from volume. In the meantime the card remounts!!! If I hit continue the card dismounts again only to remount. Very bizarre that it always does it at the very last 10 files. I haven't been able to narrow it down to which cards or types just yet. Kinda just started happening. I do have Diskkeeper installed and also Nero. Read some random stuff about Nero messing with certain volumes.

Running Windows 7 on Asus EeePC 1000H netbook. After coming out of sleep mode, I often lose my bluetooth mouse connection and I always find that Windows 7 will no longer release any USB drive that is plugged into the laptop.Deleting the bluetooth entry for the mouse and then adding it again seems to work, but its a PITA. I also note that when adding a bluetooth device Windows 7 always connects to the MS driver database and downloads the latest driver - so it appears to be a driver issue?Nothing fixes the USB drive eject problem but a shutdown.Both work fine prior to sleep mode.

I've had a Windows 7 computer for several days now. Every time I want to remove a USB from a slot, I do the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media'. But it then tells me "This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the deice and then try again. Some of the USB's I just look at to see what was on them before trying to remove them. The last one was when I did a 'Datasafe Local Backup' When I tried to remove it, I was given the "this device is in use message...'.
