It states windows has encountered problem communicating with a device to your computer. there is nothing connected to the computer so i dont know what to do?
Hello olamideidowu,
Here is a way to find out what the message means. Look for entries in the system event log that happened on the same day your error message happened.
*Using the Event Viewer:
•Click the Start button on lower left corner of the screen
•Select 'Run' (on Windows XP) or Type 'Run' and press the Enter key (on Windows Vista)
•Type 'Eventvwr' (in the 'Run' box) and click OK.
•(On Windows Vista) open the Windows Logs folder in the left pane
•Select the 'System' log in the left pane
•Look at the system events that happened on the same day as the I/O error. One (or more) of those events should contain the 'unexpected I/O error' message.
•Get the Event ID and look up what it means on the Microsoft Events and Errors Message Center: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/ee_advanced.aspx
Also, the 'Message Level' of the event shows as Information, Warning, Error or Critical. Looking at the message level can help determine how serious the event may be. Events that have Error or Critical message levels can indicate a problem on the system.
