Usb Key Drive Not Working With Computer
Sep 18, 2006
I have a usb key drive that works fine with several desktop and laptop computers except one desktop. When it's plugged in nothing happens. Other usb devices work fine with this computer. Device manager shows all usb controllers working with no yellow exclamations. I tried plugging the drive into a hub and directly into the usb slot with no luck. I've noticed when the drive is plugged into other computers the red light comes on. With this computer the red light doesn't come on when plugged directly in, but if it's pulled halfway out and then slowly pushed in the light comes on. It's still not recognized, however. What should I be checking?

I have used this DVD burner (Sonic Solutions) with my Windows XP Media Center Edition for quite some time. I recently made a movie in Windows Movie Maker and have put 2 different kind of DVD -R discs into the D drive (I have used these discs for movie burning in the past). I am now getting messages that read "Drive NEC DVDRW 9 does not contain the appropriate type of DVD disc" and a message that said an error occurred (in general). I am guessing that something has somehow changed in recent days though other than slower than usual performance I have not had any major problems with the computer.

I have an ASUS laptop running WinXP SP2. Recently the autoplay function on my CD/DVD drive has stopped working. It still reads the cds and dvds but when I insert one it doesn't register it (i.e. display the name of the cd/dvd) and doesn't autoplay. I have checked the properties of the drive and autoplay is switched on for all cd/dvd types (I have also reset it to default settings to make sure). I have tried the Microsoft Autoplay fix for Win XP as well but this hasn't worked either.I can't think of any software that I have installed or uninstalled recently that could have caused this not to work and I can't think of anything else to try.

Something is wrong with my flash drive. I've been saving files to it, and each time before disconnecting I go to "stop" the drive before removing it. However, most of my files have been lost on it, reduced to some obscure format that I can't work with. Also, each time I put it in, I get this message asking me if I want to scan and fix errors on the flash drive. Selecting "more options" reveals that, apparently, it's not a Windows XP drive.What is going wrong? Is there some way to just re-format the entire zip drive and start from scratch?

I have an external USB 2.0 case with a 160GB HD that was working just fine until a couple of days ago when I stopped the drive and unplugged it from the PC. Next time I connected the drive to the same PC, I got a message saying "There was a problem installing your device" and in the Properties window for the device a Code 10 appears. I connected the same drive to a different computer and it is working perfectly. I uninstalled the device and reinstalled it again but the problem still persists.

My Inspiron 6000 recently crashed and the dell tech support told me it was the hard drive. I ordered the new one and after putting it in, I still get the same message I got with the old one: "Internal HDD HARD error! No bootable devices--Strike F1 to try reboot, F2 to enter set-up utility"

Multiple computers blue screen on him lately. the 4th BSoD-laden computer, but it's got me and the Sys Admin pretty stumped, so maybe I can find an answer here. The computer is a CSI brand with AMD Athlon XP proc & Windows XP. The problem hdd is a WD 400, and we also have another working WD 400 in another computer that I'll mention later. Both have Windows XP Pro SP2 installed and were originally in separate computers (each was the only harddrive in its comp originally.
Trying to start a computer with the problem WD 400 alone results in a blue screen error right after the windows screen (if I remember correctly...it's not long after the hdd, etc is recognized anyways), and gives the STOP error 0x00000024, and mentions some problems with the NTFS. I found that the ..24 STOP error has to do with the NTFS.sys file, but that doesn't help me much. The computer does not let me do anything after this BSoD error, and upon restart, I just get the same error, no matter which Safe/etc mode I try...it doesnt load into any of the modes.

I have a Sony VGN-T1XP Vaio laptop with an Intel Pentium M Processor running XP Pro SP2. For some reason the two USB ports have stopped working and no USB devices are recognised. I have looked at the device manager under USB controllers and there are four USB controllers listed which are as follows: Intel 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 enhanced host controller 24CDIntel 82801DB/DBM USB universal host controller 24C2Intel 82801DB/DBM USB universal host controller 24C4Intel 82801DB/DBM USB universal host controller 24C7 Underneath those are four USB root hubs.
I have previously used a USB card reader and external hard drive on both ports without any problems but now when I connect any device nothing at all happens.

Every time I try to install Windows XP from the CD onto my friend's computer, I get to the blue screen where you're able to format/partition the hard drive and then his keyboard stops working. I don't know how to get around this because I can't continue the installation w/o the use of the keyboard. Unfortunatly, he has Windows ME on his computer right now so this issue needs to be resolved.

In the last couple of weeks my computer has started acting strange. I have ran my antivirus,adaware,spybot, and a few other programs to try and find out what might be causing the problems,which are:
1: Mouse pointer moves around the screen, from time to time, on it's own.
2: I was just sitting here watching TV, not touching,any part of my computer, mouse, keyboard etc, and my computer booted it's self.
3: I have also noticed that from time to time, if I go away from my computer,and leave a web page on my screen, so I can go back, to what I was reading, when I come back to my computer, there's no web page at all on my screen, just the background.

recently my computer has been doing some very strange things. occasionally i get a box popping up saying that something has been terminated unexpectedly and the computer will shutdown in 60 seconds, but this is quite rare.
the main problems are having unusual crashes and moments where the computer acts like the monitor cable has been unplugged and then plugged back in. also i am having internet connection issues much more frequently than before, and sometimes my computer just slows down to snail pace or the mouse hangs every few seconds for no apparent reason.
i have searched through my task manager processes and cannot find anything there out of the ordinary. i have tried to run Ad-aware and Spybot but the programs both crash when they try to update, the same thing also happens with AVG antivirus, the computer refuses to let these apps access the internet connection. I do have Sygate Personal Firewall installed and usually it would run at startup but now there is no longer the icon in the system tray, and when I try to boot it up from start menu it too refuses to load. however the process 'Smc.exe' which I understand is part of Sygate Personal Firewall is still running.
As for system specs, I have:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 gig ram
Geforce 6600 GT AGP
Soundblaster Audigy 2
ASUS motherboard
Windows XP Professional SP1
PS- I did have an idea why the spyware/adware/AV programs won't update, since recently my Sygate Personal Firewall seemed to forget which programs were 'allowed' or 'blocked', and I haven't run any of these programs since then. Now that I cannot access SPF to tell it to allow these programs that could be the reason they won't update. I am still at a loss as to why SPF/AVG do not load up on startup as they used to however.

My computer has been working slowly lately, as well as programs becoming so slow they are non-functional watching movies halfway through. This has never happened before. My OS is XP. I have run a virus scan (McAffee), as well as Ad Aware 6, trying to fix the problem, but it has not gone away.

When I start my computer, instead of the "Welcome to Windows" dialog box coming up, my computer just hangs at the blue screen. It never did this before. What's the problem? BTW, XP Pro SP2 and I use the CTRL+ALT+DEL to get into my computer instead of the other thing. Everything works fine in safe mode.

I turn on the computer this morning, and it says it found new hardware. So I rebooted and everything was fine (so I thought). A few moments ago I noticed that one of the fans wasn't working. However, I believe this fan is not so necessary for the computer's operation because it glows rainbow when it spins.

XP is slow and I have allot of memory. I would watch stuff streaming on line and now it just freezes and does not move much like it should when I have streamed before. My XP also takes forever to set up and there is not much running in the back ground.Also my email program and Foxfire is so slow to open. My computer is slow in everything.

Whenever I try to shutdown my computer or restart nothing happens. It just stays at my desktop. If I try to log off or switch users I get a black screen and a small message window saying with the title of, "Parser Message" then in the window it says, "Value creation failed" at line 40" (with the quotation in the middle). The only way I can turn the computer off is by holding the power button. When I turn the computer on I get the same message and click ok a couple of times then I get to a log on screen where you have to type in a user and password. Normally I just click the user's name. This started this morning when I left the computer on (accidentally) and showered, when I came back my screen saver was on and I moved my mouse and I had the message. I tried going into safe mode and doingsystem restore but that didn't work and I couldn't shutdown from safe mode. When I eventually log on everything works normally. Please help me before I break my computer.
