See Devices Installed On The Computer?
Jan 20, 2008
I was using it and I found out that the microphone on it was taking over default,so like an idiot i went in to Device manager and disabled the web camera mic driver.Because of this my windows xp will give me the blue screen of death and reboot when ever i plug it in.Including even if I plug it in before windows starts. All i want to know is, is there a way to see devices installed on the computer while it is not plugged in to the usb port to uninstall the driver.

I had Windows XP reinstalled on my computer hard drive.When I got my computer back.The sound was not working. When I went to My Computer/ Hardware Devices, there were 3 yellow question marks on:SM Bus Controller..PCI Device Video Controller. Do I need to delete these and try to reload them. If so, is there a process or Disc i need to do this?

I have lost my sound. The sounds icon in control panel say " no audio devices" AND the sound tab shows all listed devices as working porperly. I have deleted an sound object that allows it in device manager and allowed XP to load wht it will. I still have no sound. I checked for sound services in services and they are started as well.If I load Knoppix and test, my sounds work so I am assumming it is not a hardware problem.

So I have an iPod and external hard drive connected by USB.My Dell only recognizes these devices maybe 50% of the time or so, unless I start with the iPod connected, which will work fine. If I start with the external hard drive connected, it isn't recognized until I reconnect it. I had USB recognition problems, and Dell sent me a new motherboard for my Inspiron E1705, which I installed myself successfully. Now my computer recognizes my printer consistently, but the hard drive and iPod are iffy.I disregarded this and tried to add more music to my iPod. At first, it was giving me disc writing errors. Later on, it would either freeze or only add a small portion of the songs. So I started fiddling around with the order things were connected, and now My Computer freezes when I open it. I restarted my laptop, tried a diagnostic in iTunes (with the iPod attached at startup, which opened iTunes, then closed iTunes so I could turn on my external hard drive where my music is stored, reopened iTunes where music worked by iPod wasn't being recognized by iTunes), and it said I was having iPod connection problems.

Last night I installed service pack 3 for xp home not thinking much of it. It told me that setup had completed successfully and that I had to reboot my machine, and here is what I have on my hands now:When I start the machine, the dell screen first comes up as usual and then XP Home begins to load (the screen where the logo is in the middle and the little bars move from left to right in the middle of the screen)...so far so good. Then, after a few seconds that screen goes away, then comes back for a few seconds, and then continues to a blue screen where the logon screen would normally appear. At this point, the mouse pointer shows up in the middle of the screen, which I can move, and the screen stays completely blue and nothing happens

I just re-installed my OS on my laptop. Its a dell inspiron 9300. Its running windows xp, has 34 gig hard drive and half a gig of ram. Its almost 4 years old. Its really slow and sluggish even though I just re-installed. I have a backup hard drive too so I don't have to use all my space. Is it time for a new one? I don't want to put a lot of money into it if I should just upgrade to better machine. I use it as my main computer. I have a network in the house but that computer is VERY old and I just use it to connect the modem and router for our laptops. I have a second monitor attached to my laptop

I have a 2nd hard drive installed on my computer and i noticed yesterday that everything on it except for one folder has been deleted everything from my music to my videos. However, when i check the properties of the hard drive it still shows that space is being taken up on that 2nd hard drive as if all my files are still there. I went into my itunes and tried to play the music i have on my 2nd hard drive through itunes and to my surprise it still plays which it shouldn't if the files had in fact been deleted.

I tried to update my Acer laptop and I get a message "files required to use windows update are no longer registered or installed on your computer" There is then a radio button filled in and a "proceed" buuton to download and register the files. It then churns a percentage thing fro 0 to 100% and then I end up on the normal download page which I was on before, I hit "express - recommended" and I get the message "files required.........." again. And thus it never ends. After spending money on Microsofts premium call line I am told to contact Acer

I'm not sure what else I can do. My PC slowly derailed into sluggishness, and if I have more than one program open while I am running AOL, AOL runs very slow, and even grays out when I try to connect. The memory I installed has helped, but only minutely. I have plenty of hard drive space left (29gb). I run Windows XP on an HP. I'm not sure what other information you would need.

I have a fairly new machine with linux (Slackware 10.0) and XP installed.From time to time when running XP it locks up and stops responding, and I have to power cycle it. This does not happen when running Slackware, and I run the same programs (more or less). I need it to work with XP because some of the programs I run are Windows only. How do you trouble shoot a locking up issue? Because it locks, there are no event log entries, and no indication at all as to what is causing.

I have a HP Pavilon with Windows XP Medica Center Edition SP2. I had to have the hard drive replaced recently and restored everything from the HP CDs. It worked fine for awhile until a couple of days ago the computer froze and when it started up again the desktop was back to the original after that the computer came with.
I've installed all of the security updates except for SP3, ran Hijack THis, Spybot, AVG and it all came back clean

OK, my computer has been running very slowly over the last couple of years. I took it to someone to fix but the computer is still running rather slowly. I'm not sure if there is a virus, or if any programs that are installed on it are conflicting.

I Installed the Microsoft .NET Framework because it was listed as a high priority update and it appears that Windows Cardspace was installed with it. Windows Cardspace shows up in control panel as a vertical file such as are in Windows Vista. Also cardspace freezes the computer and keeps it from restarting. Should I uninstall the .NET framework 3.0?The freezing and restarting problems only happens when I'm trying to use cardspace(actually cardspace never loads.)
Another thought-I've seen links to windows xp help forums off the microsoft website but now I can't find them. Does anyone else know where they are?

I just tried to reformat and install windows XP home edition, and upon coming to the screen of "Repair" or "Install fresh copy" I received an error reporting:Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.I was trying to use ubuntu but my ram wasn't high enough, so now it won't let me run windows xp again.

I went to go do my normal clean up on my computer and it says that my disk cleanup and defragment tools are not installed. I just used them 45 or less days ago and I know that I didn't manually uninstall them myself. I am the only one that uses this computer.

Regularly played games are running slower than usual, have had one crash from, apparently, being too stressful on the machine (CTD).Sometimes it holds steady and plays well enough... Battlefield 2 is where I notice the significant performance loss and where I benchmark my machine.Think I am missing a driver? Can I find out what driver I am missing? Device Manager doesn't show anything to the contrary. I've installed drivers from the MSI site(4in1 setup), ati/amd drivers for video card, netgear lan drivers.
