Hello k_lott28,

You may need to check first if your wireless card or LAN card is working or not.

You can go to your Device Manager & check on Network Adapters.

You can click on the Start menu button, right click on your My Computer icon & choose Properties.

Click on Device Manager, then Hardware, then Network Adapters.

If you see a red X mark on your wireless card, right click & choose Enable.

If you see a yellow exclamation mark, insert the CD driver for your laptop, right click on your wireless card & choose update.

Hope that helps.

probably we may have to re-install the wireless drivers on this computer...

to do that...

start-->run

type in "devmgmt.msc" without quotes and hit ok

device manager window will open up.. in which expand "network adapters"

here u will see something with wireless... right click and click on uninstall.. confirm it by clicking on ok... once that is done... restart the computer... this driver will be automatically installed...

now try to connect,,, if it does well and good.... if it does not, contact the internet service provider

good luck

thanks,

Hello.

I believe it's a benign message, as long as the USB devices still work.

With my Dell Inspiron, I would periodically get those messages and then the message would simply go away. I couldn't find anything wrong.

So, if the USB devices work OK, do not be concerned.

If the USB devices do not work, and you recently updated your operating system, roll back your operating system with System Restore. Go to System Restore and choose a date when your system worked OK. Note: with System Restore, all your updates will roll back to that date.

To access System Restore in Windows 7: Open the Start Menu. Click on All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and System Restore

Hope this helps.

You may want to confirm that the USB ports are still set to 2.0 in the system BIOS.

Assuming you are using Windows XP, here is a link to a Microsoft article outlining how to enable the second monitor. The only thing I would add is that once you get into the properties window, your second monitor may show up darkened out. If it is, you need to right-click on it and select "Attached" before continuing on:

Hello
you dont need to buy new hard drive until you confirmed that your hard drive has no more, for the purpose you need check in CMOS setup, if it is detected by computer then there is a chance to re-use the hard disk, you just need to re-install windows, during installation format the hard disk after re-partition.
if this method fails then you need to buy new one, good luck

I have had the same problem and error code.
It started as an intermitant fault and then just stopped working.
You can try going into device manager and uninstalling the dvd drive, it will automatically reinstall.
I had to buy a replacement off ebay for about £20, they want about £100 for a new 1

What the Print Screen option does is copies the screen to the clipboard. You will need to use a program such as Word and past the content to the open page.
By hitting the Print Screen button by itself will show the image of the desktop.
The Alt + Print Screen combination will give you a pic of the active window

You can also try this...
If your Print Screen is labeled in blue & your Function key is also blue then you have to hold Fn key while using Print Scrn , "Fn"+"Print Scrn" or "Fn"+"Alt+Print Scrn"

let me know if you have any other questions..
Thanks!
