Reformatted & Reinstalled System: PCI Device Not Found?
Sep 22, 2005After formatting and installing W2k on a DEll 4100 PIII I'm getting the 'new device found' wizard and it says I have a PCI device not being found.. But all my devices are working (i.e. modem, sound card etc.) When I right click on properties in the device manager it says "PCI Bus 0, device 31, function 3" Anyone know how I can tell what device it's finding and can't locate a driver for?

Apr 2, 2005I'll try to make it short. I'm using WinXP ver2002 SP2 and I've justreformatted my drive D through run cmd (I'll just call it that cuz I don'tknow what it is.... )for various reasons(long story), and after t's reformatted, I opened drive D. Good, nice and clean. But something'sa bit different. There's a music symbol on the lower right hand corner of theexplorer window, just like "my music" has the symbol and "my pictures" has apicture symbol which shows it's a "picture type folder" or "music type folder".I know this can be changed in folder properties, and helps the folder to perform different functions from the options on the left. But this is a drive

Jul 31, 2005I attempted to download XP HOme Edition to a fresh hard drive that was reformatted.
It appears to get to a certain point and this message appears:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0X0000000A (0XFFFFFFF0, 0X00000002, 0x00000001, 0x80879641)
then, it says something about newly installed Hardware or software, (which there is only the XP I am trying to setup that is new) and then it says to disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, which I went ahead and did after reading this, but to no avail.
Updates On Reformatted Computer
Mar 11, 2008Just re-installed WinXP Home on my PC. I tried to go to Windows Update, but when it scanned my machine to see what updates it needed, it said it could not continue. I went to Tools/Internet Options/Security, and set it to default, figuring that would make everything acceptable for Microsoft. I restarted the computer and tried to do it again with the same result. The error message is 0x8007000B.

Nov 13, 2006i just reformatted my laptop and after reinstalling most everything, theres a few bugs that i don't know how to deal with.windows XP home edition, dell latitude d505, sorry, not sure what other information is relevant
1. when i start up my computer, it goes to this loading screen where everything is black except for a line of gray rectangles near the bottom which represents the status bar (looks like the screen when coming out of hibernate but no words). this loading part takes like 5 minutes to complete, and it hasn't ever done that before. i have no idea why its taking so long to start up.
2. you know the power icon that switches from the plug to the battery depending on whether you are on AC power or battery power? that icon doesn't switch to the battery when i unplug it, so i have no way to know how much of my battery is used up. when i go to 'adjust power properties', it only displays settings for AC power, not battery power. i thought this was some issue with dell quickset but i'm not sure how to fix it.
3. probably too obscure to get an answer on.. i use a wireless mouse that plugs into my USB port. its a Kensington Optical Wireless Pro Pocket Mouse. the first time i plugged it in after reformatting, the "found new hardware" thing popped up and started to install whatever it needed. but then it said that there was a cyclic redundnacy error (?) and that it couldn't finish installing and that the device might not work properly (which it doesn't).

Jan 6, 2005Aside from Paint lagging, the rest of my computer is kinda slow lately, and there are a bunch of SVCHOST.exe's that seem to be running when i look at the task manager. I killed the one that was taking up the most memory usage and the computer was slightly better... in Paint, I could actually use the Pencil tool without lagging, but the scrolling and paintbucket was laggy still.

Apr 8, 2010I had the XP Security Center virus and, perhaps foolishly, reformatted - or more formally, "system reformat" for "returning the computer to factory conditions", as my friend who helped me with this process called it - my computer and reinstalled the operating system. But when I turned it on for the first time, there was, naturally, no internet connection. However, while I would normally proceed to set one up, there was, for some reason, no "View Available Wireless Networks" option when I right click on the little connection icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
Reformatted PC - Video/sound Driver
Sep 17, 2008I recently had to reformat my PC and now I need to reinstall my video card and sound card drivers. The only problem is, I don't have the driver CD anymore. when I try to find out what my video/sound cards are I draw a blank because they don't seem to be displayed anywhere (display properties/settings/advanced/adapter). All adapter type and adapter information are all I know my video card is ATI but that's all I know and as for the sound card - I haven't a clue what make that is. I've been on the ATI website but there are so many drivers I don't know which one to download/install.

Reformatted Computer - Video Controller
Jan 29, 2005I just reformatted a computer running XP. It came with the resource CD from the manufacturer, not the actual XP CD. My problem is drivers. Everything in the machine is very 'non-descript' and I am still needing drivers, but they were not included on the cd that I got from the seller. In the device manager, I have yellow questions marks beside the following:Ethernet controller
Multimedia Audio Controller SM Bus Controller Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
I tried to get the exact name/brand of the ethernet card, but it's a 'PulseJack' and I have never seen one of those before
MCE 2005 Won't Reboot Or Shutdown - Just Reformatted
Sep 13, 2009So I just reformatted last night and installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Since installing it, I haven't been able to restart or shut down. The computer gets stuck on the background (no icons and taskbar). I don't even get to the blue screen that says it's saving settings and shutting down. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried deselecting everything from the startup in msconfig and it still gets stuck on the background in normal mode.

Slow, Lagging Computer
Feb 10, 2005I just recently started having trouble with computer moving slow. When i boot up it seems fine. I have cable connection. When i go into websites like msn it takes forever for me to get into anything. I ran spybot and removed a BUNCH of stuff. But it is still happening. Do I need to stop stuff at start up? If so how do I know what to stop? How can I find out what's running in the background?I know nothing about computers other than mines slow all of a sudden.

May 25, 2007I'm not sure what's been happening lately, but my laptop has been running kind of laggy and slow. My specs are as follows:I initially thought that my computer would only slow after I started Trillian, but I tested this (by not starting Trillian), and it seems it will still slow a few minutes after a restart. Restarting my laptop seems to solve this problem temporarily.Keeping it in safe mode (I'm posting in Safe Mode w/ Networking right now) seems to also keep the problem at bay.

Sep 16, 2005I currently have four hard drives, and I have noticed a problem on one of them that in windows related. The drive is not my OS drive, and only stores data. I have noticed that when I try to access or add files to folders on the drive, windows will lag for 5-10 seconds. I click on a folder and the system lags, then after 5-10 sec the folder I clicked is highlighted, and I can open it and its subfolders with out further problem. During this 5-10 sec, the explorer window is frozen. If I back out to a root folder, and try again, the same thing happens.When I try to save files to this folder from the internet I get the same thing. I right click an object, click “save as…†type in or retain the default name, navigate to this folder, and click Save. My IE window freezes.
