Box Flash On The Screen
Mar 30, 2008
I have windows XP I constanly have problems trying to download anything; 1st a little box will flash on the screen ;It flashes so fast I cant read it; Then about 5 minutes later the download will appear; But if I try to download anything large the computer will say downloading but then after a long time a screen appears and says time for this download has expired;??? Now I am running a registry cleaner and evryday it finds at least 50 errors. I am old and try to understand but I am having no luck. On the windows clean up tool there are about 50 items and some one told me there should only be 1 item that is running in that box.

This in plain non-techie English? My Microsoft Camera and scanner Wizard no longer comes up when I insert the FLASH-CARD from my HP digital camera in the FLASH-DRIVE on my PC. Nothing happens now, It worked great for 2 years.How do I get the wizard back so I can unload my camera using the flash-card in the flashdrive?I have WXP-Home/SP2. I downloaded some XP security updates but don't know if they caused the problem.

Using PC and surfing the net, I left my PC for 2 mins and when returned the screen was blank, I have tried turning off and on, but each time the PC starts up, my icons flash on the desktop for a split second then it goes blank again, even if I just turn the monitor off, once turned back on the icons flash up for a split second then it goes blank again. My biggest worry of all is all the kids photo's and video clips I have saved on the PC and about 2 years ago my PC crashed due to a problem with the hard drive and we lost all our memories.

I have a Toshiba Tecra M2V-S310 laptop PC with Windows XP. A week ago I inserted flash drive into my USB port to drag something from his drive. My laptop choked a bit, slowed down and I got an error sound, so I pulled the drive out immediately. A few days later, I started getting the random Blue Screen Of Death with the message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, at which point I am forced to restart. I see an Unknown Device in my Device Manager, and after doing some reading up online about this problem I see that it is sometimes caused by something to do with not fully installing new hardware, I assume this has a lot to do with the problem. As a temporary fix I always uninstall the Unknown Device every time the Blue Screen Of Death forces me to restart, which buys me an extra 45 minutes or so of laptop time, but every time I am eventually but inevitably forced to restart, I got back to the Device Manager and lo and behold the Unknown Device has returned, along with a prompt on my desktop to Install New Hardware.
I am not able to plug in the flash drive that supposedly started this problem to uninstall it properly, so that's not an option.Someone suggested I delete all the icons in my Universal Serial Bus section of Device Manager, so that the necessary ones would automatically reinstall themselves and the erroneous one wouldn't. Only problem is, everything reinstalled - the valid icons and the erroneous one as well. Back to square one. Someone else suggested that my USB port might be fried, and that the only recourse is to get a new one. If that's the case I'm willing and ready to get a new one, but I'd like to exhaust all other options before I go there,

I was attempting to get the flash player to work and did all kind of things. But before I started, I created a restore point and exported the registry.The last thing I recall doing was a manual install of the latest flash player. Seems like it hung up and after a few minutes I turned off the PC by holding in on the power button.When I power up the PC it would get to the blue screen with the windows XP logo screen and then hang.Normally it took me to a screen showing the various users on the PC.I have rebooted in the safe mode and it gets to the same screen and hangs up.

My Sony VAIO starts. It's plugged in normally. The power lights flash, it checks the CD-RW drive, and then remains on with the main power light on and the fan on, but the screen remains black and nothing else happens. Windows XP doesn't load. No Sony logo, no "Operating system not found," nothing. It's like it's had a lobotomy.I haven't installed anything new, and the notebook has just been sitting around unplugged for a few days. The last thing I used it for was to burn a CD with Windows Media Player. The only change I can think of is that my USB tablet isn't plugged in.

My laptop will not boot into windows at all. not into safe mode, or any other option i'm given. It gets to the windows logo and crashes, a quick flash of a bluescreen which i can't see the error, and restarts. I also do not have the option to disable the restart so i can see this code too.I booted the windows recovery and at the DOS prompt i tried doing chckdsk, fixboot, fixmbr.

I'm using a sandisk cruzer to try to install windows on my new rig. I've got a legit windows key, and serial number. Just lost the CD a long time ago, and don't have a sata Drive. Now, there is windows XP on my current sata harddrive but it is incompatable with the system (it was installed on another system.) So sense I don't got any DVD/CD burners, or any way of buying one for a month. I looked into making my USB flash drive bootable. I've used the HP USB Disk Formating tool to format it with FAT32, and dos Windows 98 files (Command,IO.sys,MSDOS.sys) thinking this would make it bootable. Tossed A version of windows XP I downloaded SP3, onto the drive, appatempted to boot it, but when I boot the flash drive with my gigabyte X38 DS4, it just loads windows 98 for half a second and brings me to a DOS C:. which was similer when I tried to install windows 7 from my USB drive where as that brought me 2 windows ME dos screen. It seems not to autorun so I don't really know how to partition my disk, format, and install a fresh coppy of windows.

When going to certain websites, I'm receiving a message saying that I need to install Flash. I have gone to Adobe's site to download it, and it says "Flash successfully installed" but apparently that is not the case.

I was clearing out some old files and I have accidently run (from within XP) a BIOS flash utility for my old AOpen AX6BC mobo. MY current mobo is an MSI K8N Neo2. From what I can recall, the utility perfoms the BIOS flash the next time that the PC is rebooted. The file is called ax6bc110.exe. I have tried to delete the file both from Windows and from a Dos box, but I am being told that the file is in use. I have looked in Task Manager but I cannot find an entry that relates to this file.

How can I unformat a flash drive? I formatted it to make it bootable to try to run feather linux which didn't work. Anyway, I am trying to get it back to where it was before. I tried HP's usb format utility, but it doesn't see it as it won't even show up in my computer. it does show up as a storage device to unplug but that is all.

I purchased a us modular flash drive from tiger direct. I'm running xp home edition. I'm on cable and a friend of mine is on dial up, but he's also using windows xp home. His computer is only about 2 yrs old. Anyway, he ask me if I'd copy the free programs ad-aware and spybot, since it takes him so long to download anything, which I did. I gave him the drive, but when he tried to access it, he said it gave him an I/O error. His computer wouldn't read it. I brought it home and plugged it in and it works fine on my machine. On his he said it'd show up as a drive (H:), but when he tried to open it, it gave the error. You don't have to install any drivers (at least you didn't on mine. It came with no cd. Will this drive only work on my machine or what.

Recently, whenever I connect a USB flash drive to my PC Windows displays it as an 'unknown device' and says it can't be recognised and has malfunctioned. I have used 2 separate USB flash drives which are both different makes and different sizes, but both come up with this error. I have tried both on different USB ports and the result is the same. I tried both on different PCs, and they worked fine. I've connected other USB devices, such as headsets and external hard drives with no problems, it just seems to be flash drives.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my USB controllers but to no avail, still says they've both malfunctioned. I'm using XP SP2.

I have just purchased a 256 M.B. U.S.B. flash memory drive. It supports password protection. BUT how do you get this to work or be enabled?. It didn't come with any instructions and the website didn't help either. I want to put private information on this flash drive and lock it(password protect it). It's not a giant problem, but any help would be fantastic.

I do believe I messed this up so bad. Here is what happened. We were having issues with our flash player so I finally got irratated and removed some things and reinstalled the flash player. Well apparently I deleted my sound device and couldn't get it back. It kept saying I needed the cd. So I got my windows Xp cd and re downloaded it. Which completely reset everything (I know well duh) but I still don't have a sound device. How do I get sound back!
