Installed Newest Version Of NVidia - Enabled BIOS
Mar 24, 2008
The USB ports on my friend's laptop (HP Pavilion DV6000 running XP Home) randomly stopped working about a week ago. He hasn't made any changes to the system in some time. When you plug in a USB device, it gets power, but the computer doesn't recognize it. Here's what I've tried so far:Uninstalled all USB drivers from the device manager Unchecked the "allow computer to turn off this device" option under power management Installed newest version of the nVidia cihpsetMade sure that USB is enabled in the BIOS Tried a registry fix found here http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/6...p-working.htmlUnfortunately, nothing has worked. What worries me is that I also tried using an Ubuntu live cd, and no USB devices were recognized there either. I'm thinking that this might be a hardware problem which can't be fixedI declare this problem unfixable?

She had downloaded the newest version of spy sweeper and then ran it. She downloaded avg free version because her bit defender 9 had expired. She removed bitdefender before downloading avg. Then she ran that scan, which was negative. She also ran ad aware and just found a couple tracking cookies. What has started to happen is that since she did all that and re-started windows, the windows installer comes up and says it's trying to install TrayApp...asking for the installation package (*.msi) disk. She has no such thing. The MB is MSI.

Not sure if this is the right group for this question - so apologies if anyone feels aggrieved.I have been told that it might be a good idea to update my nvidia geforce2 mx/mx400 bios (not driver) as it is 3 years old. I'm a bitconfused because the bios doesn't seem to be available on the nvidiasite but I have to get it from my motherboard site, Jetway. Am I goingnuts here? Can anyone reassure me of the best way of updating the biosin this video card?

When trying to enter into a chat with my ISP technical support, I got a message saying Javascript needs to be enabled/installed. How do I do this? I know Microsoft does not particularly like Javascript (but I think it's here to stay).Is Sun better than Microsoft? TIA

I installed the latest Nvidia drivers. No problem there. But now, each time I boot up, I have this page fllling the screen (Windows explorer?) It's blank except for one folder - WINXP. It's easy to remove each time, but how can I get this page or whatever it is, to take a hike and get lost, so that just the desktop icons are visible? Would appreciate any help. Using xp home, P4, 1 gig RAM.

Since I have had my comp (going on 4 months), when I boot i get a message saying BIOS is not installed, which i find very hard to believe, but this never affects anything. today when i boot my comp, it starts loading and its:scaning IDE drives then it says something about BIOS not being installed (but it was a slightly different message, i didnt have enough time to record it). then i get some weird screen, it gave me the option of entering setup by pressing F1 or loading default settings by pressing F2. i rebooted, again the same message, so i just chose to load default settings, and everything loaded, but when i got to loading windows, i loaded it and then it crashed, the comp just rebooted. then i followed the steps again and loaded default settings and it loaded fine. i know i cant give details about the error screens as i didnt have time to record them, but what should i do if this happens again?

is it ok to partition a hdd with an OEM version of windows XP home installed on it? i want to buy this oem copy of XP home(http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=949&category_id=225&manufacturer_id=0) for an existing PC, which already has another OS on it. I have to wipe the hard drive before I can install the OEM XP home, since this version was meant to be distributed with new PCs only. But after I've wiped it, and have installed XP home, I plan to partition the drive and install another OS, is that ok?

I am trying to restore my dell computer to its original state as it has bogged down completely and i have been getting a bunch of random error messages such as error loading CTMBHA.DLL.I do not care about losing any of my data or programs, I just want it to go back to its original state.When i attempt to use the Dell OS reinstallation disc, It tells me that i have a newer version of windows XP installed, so i cannot continue with setup.How do i erase this newer version of Windows XP, so that my system is back to factory settings.

My sons friend dropped his computer off to be cleaned up. GOt into some areas that appears to have taken over his system and his Internet service canceled his account and told him to clean up his system. It was home built using a MSI mb MS6702 / K8TNEO FIS2R or K8TNEO FSR not sure which.I was going to format his system and reinstall his XP but as soon as you start the system you get the No Device Found message and then a BIOS not installed message. If you try to get into BIOS using MSI's instructions (DEL key) it will not go into BIOS so you can set-up the boot sequence etc. If you let the system continue to boot the system will boot into XP with no problem.

just installed a second internal hard drive. tried to access bios at start up (to setup hard drive) but system doesn't respond to ANY keyboard keys. system just continues with normal Windows boot-up. once XP is running all functions and software seem fine. no matter how many times I try at "Press Del to enter Setup" nothing works. Jusat before I had this problem, I had a problem with software (which I have removed) that caused my system to lock up. when I rebooted system stopped and offerred reboot options, ea: Safe Mode, but I the arrow keys would not work, system just went directly to Windows boot up.how can I access the bios if system doesn't respond to keyboard?

once the on button was pushed, it came up with the BIOS screen asking for the password.I removed the CMOS battery, which allowed me to change the Password so I can get onto BIOS now. However, when I boot now it just comes up with the BIOS screen.I set HD to boot first, aswell as setting the clock and date. I then ask it to save and quit, after which it shut's down, and reboots, only, BIOS keeps coming up. And I need to get this sorted asap

I have had windows XP Pro installed, updated and running fine until about a week ago. I was away from home for about a week and left the machine plugged into the mains but powered down. When I returned home to boot up, it kept doing things like constantly hanging on parts of the bios POST screen, eventually booting up after thirty or so complete restarts. It finally booted into windows but after the last shutting down, it will now not boot up at all. I have replaced the bios battery and reset the bios several times.

When I turn on my computer, it does the bios check, then goes into the bios screen on its own. I have checked all of the bios settings, and see nothing set wrong. The only way I can get itno my xp pro system, is to use "F8" during the bios check, the select my hd from there, then it seems only half of my programs work, and it also seems to be randomly changing the programs that do not work, when I do this.

Got a bit of a problem with my housemates pc.A friend gave him some extra RAM, i checked it out and it was crucial 512mb pc2100 CL2.5, and although it didn't match his exsisting RAM it seemed to me that his mobo would only run the FSB at 200mhz anyway so i went ahead and fitted it.It worked fine I then noticed his system temp was running a little high (60-65 degrees), so i took his heatsink off and cleaned the dust and refitted it with some new thermal compound.I added too much and the temp went up. To nearly 90 degrees.I shut it dwon as i didn't want the cpu to pop, cleaned it off, reapplied less compound and figured this would work fine.Now we have the problem. Most of the time: Power on and nothing happens. No bios, no beeps. Occasionally: Power on, i jump into the bios, the temp looks fine (30-40 degrees) and then it freezes right there in the bios after about 30 seconds to a minute.This sounds like a heat issue, but the last temp reading before freeze is 33 degrees.?I've double and triple checked that the heatsink is on properly and thats fine. I followed the official guide on how much compound to use (a blob the size of an uncooked short grain of rice).

I was trying to view a particular website, but when I navigate to it, it tells me that I need, "javascript enabled to view the site." As far as I know JavaScript is already enabled on each computer. All are running XP and all are updated w/ both SP1 and SP2. I went to about.com to test if I had JavaScript enabled and it said I did. How can I really make sure?

I am having display problems with two applications under winows XP. The control software that comes with my Asus MB called AIsuite and also the Nvidia GPU monitoring program. Both use those fixed graphical interfaces (ie not windows standard) a bit like winamp etc. Both show very messed up interfaces on my system with icons in wrong places, text running off edge of GUI etc. I was suspicious it was to do with my windows font settings so removed cleartype and insured size was set to normal. However, the glitches still show up.

I recently "tidied up" my computer, updating various softwares, scanning etc. I also ran the Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmentation programmes. However after doing both of these 3 of the 4 user accounts on my computer no longer seem to be working. Mine (the one from which I ran the cleanup etc) is fine but the other 3 don't seem to recognise that they are there. Through the Control Panel it still says there enabled but when trying to logon under them some pop-up comes up and although it does eventually logon on it seems to have reverted to the setting for a new user account (or guest), not remembering anything about the accounts. Dont think the defrag caused this (all accounts worked normally before I did these two things)...but perhaps I "cleaned up" something I shouldn't have.
