I try to run explorer, it starts but something kills it about a second after it starts...so ultimately, nothing happens. I do run msconfig, but there is nothing I can see that would have this effect. I can't run explorer, Internet Explorer, my Email program. I can run notepad, msconfig...

I can`t click on the desktop, nothing comes up. The only thing I can get to appear is the ctrl-alt-del task manager. It doesn`t matter if I am in safe mode or not. But thanks for the idea, I wish it were that simple.

The monitor is a nec accusync 75F.

I boot up the machine, and before the desktop appears, I get a window in the middle of the screen. Behind the window is the desktop picture, but no icons or system tray. In the window is a red dot, in the red dot are these letters, CTE and right below those XPL. You can either click on the...

I have a duron 600, 128 meg RAM, 10 gig HD, Acer CDROM, Creative CDRW 4x2x24, Windows XP Problem: I can't burn cd's. Windows burning software doesn't acknowledge that a cd is in the drive, and Nero says that burning is complete, but doesn't actually burn anything. I tried the drive on another...

When I put in a store bought cd, windows doesn't recognize that there is a cd in the drive. It says "please insert disk" when I click on the drive.

Here is my problem. I have a 4x2x32x cdrw. It will read most cd's fine, unless it is a store bought music cd, in which case it won't read it. Also, when I burn a cd full of songs, say 20, at the end only 5 or so will actually be usable. Any help with either of these problems would be greatly...

Ok, I have a 40x CD-Rom and a 8x4x32 CD-RW. My cdrom works fine, but my cdrw only reads certain cds. It will read my burned music cd, but not a store bought cd. And it will not read burned data cds. This is very strange and I hope someone here will be able to enlighten me. I am running...

Already tried that, several times. WinXP detects the drives correctly and says that they are operating correctly. As I mentioned, I can read what's on the cd, but only when I manually populate the drive. Thanks for the idea though.

I have a cdrom and a cdrw drive on sec. IDE and 1 hd on pri. Both used to work fine in WinXP, but then out of the blue they stopped working. When I put a cd in either of the drives, the light comes on, the cd spins and then nothing. When I click on the drive letter an error comes up saying...

Well, I tried your suggestions. Now the drives don't work only half the time. Very strange. My next step will be to take them out, swap them on the IDE and see what happens. Thanks for the ideas.

I have Win98 with 32megs ram, ADSL, SB Ensoniq and a standard modem. On bootup, I get the "blue screen of death" stating that the system had incorrectly routed the interrupt for my sound card. I tried to force the interrupt to different settings, but this didn't work. My...

I have a system with WinXP installed, 1 burner and 1 cdrom on it. Everything worked initially, no problems. Then one day I booted it up and both drives stopped reading ANY kind of media. WinXP recognizes the drives properly, and if I go through system settings I can populate both drives...
