You can go to BIOS setup and check that CD drive is recognize there or not, If not then there must be some problem with CD Drive or connectivity of CD drive with computer, If it is showing there then you can follow this tutorial and change with the registry.

Have a new tv how do i get connected to my old computer
to hook the computer to the tv you do not need a disk ..basically you need to have a pretty good video card on computer so that it will have a hdmi video out ..and this way it will work on hdmi ..or if it has a tv slot ..use it ..and select the proper input on the tv ..If there is no image on the tv ...you have to go to the video settings ..and select to enable the secondary monitor or tv out..for some computers you can do this by pressing Fn and F5 or F4 or F7 ..(or ctrl = f....) ..and will enable it auto ..but ..it is best to make sure you have teh correct driver for the video card ..and after the connection being made with the cable ..and select the correct entry in the tv ...just go to the video card settings ..or click right on desktop ..and select properties and than display settings ..or ..settings ..and on the page where it shows the monitors..click on the secondary and enable it ..and select the way it will work ..(clone or extend display ..second one will make the monitor an extension and you can select different tasks for the space )
I have an eView 17f3 computer monitor that was
well that is 17,000 volts there 17kv and can be lethal .
CRT is cathode ray tube and 2nd anode is 17kv, 1kv per inch screen.. we use a chicken stick to discharge that.
one guy gut hit here and flew across the room ,hit head and next up paramedics deep.. not fun to see that. ive taking 600v but never again.
vaccum seal, why do that.???
send it to the , toxic lead recycle center, let them do the danger work
when I was only 16yo I worked in TV shop and I had do that "nnipp" that in the bud on all CRT sent off to refurb. (or toxic trash) (we sold them all here, you name it)
we had to remove the socket there find he glass bud there dead center and full PPE, and snap it with wire cutters and it sucks in air fast. later in military too on old radar scopes, i worked .
the vacuum inside is pure and prefect, zero gasses.
implosion hazard exists. a glass flies in the bounces out and hits you and then next up blind i one eye. leave CRT alone to the trained.
Hi i have emachine 8230 tower
firstly lets think why a Working pc would no longer BOOT. The boot process then. a pc starts the bios which POST's. this results in ONE BEEP which might be followed by messages(if you get several beeps then they are like morse code long/short and count out an error code). when you get your ONE BEEP the pc is working. when it then HANGS(appears to do nothing) its usually because of either a) the cd drive is duff so disconnect its cables. b) the hard drive is duff so disconnect its cables c) the hard drive hasnt quite died yet but has some very slow sectors and is making the Clackety Clack of the heads recalibrating every few seconds. d) there could be a a gpu card bios glitch and your pc is running but you just have a blank screen. some hints then 1) never start removing parts as that corrupts the CMOS(the battery backed up configuration for your BIOS) so you may need to clear your cmos. 2) never play with the idea of changing ram sticks as people usually end up putting them in any old slot(which may result in a non working pc). make sure a PAIR is fitted in slots 0/2 and a separate matching pair in 1/3 slots not in slots 0/1 which is two half pairs. Other factors. 1) a short circuit. your PSU has built in protection, if the psu fan(inside case of the psu) turns and kicks back and immediately stops you have a short circuit and its cuts the power to avoid a fire/meltdown, which could be caused by high wattage gpu(>60 watts) without its extra power cables fitted or wrongly connected front usb cables or removing a mainboard and fitting it into a new box where the board has its support posts NOT lined up with the holes fro the screws so the post is touching underside of the board circuits. hope some of that helps.
Emachines 3240 - cannot recover
Download a Linux distro to a flash drive or DVD and see how well it runs off that. There's HDD utilities like SuperGrubDisk that can diagnose things.
