My DVD/CD drive opens and won't accept the CD I put inside, for several tries. After a while, it stays closed and reads the disc very well. I heard that it is an electronic component and I need to change the drive board, but I don't know how to do that or what to buy. I would like to fix it...

Thank you for the information. I'm printing it out for next time. I probably just wasted my money, but I just bought a new adapter to replace the Belkin and so far it works. Thank you so much.

I thought the Belkin wireless N adapter and the Nvidia card worked together. Since I can only connect wirelessly, I guess the Belkin is the problem. Now I can't get online at all through my PC. I did go in and change the power settings. I don't think the router or modem are at fault because...

I have a PC running 32-bit Vista. Lately, it won't stay online and it doesn't seem to be the network itself. I have a Lynksys Wireless N router that is less than a year old. I have a Belkin wireless N adapter. My Network card is NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (I guess). The device...

Thank you, I will ask if he has installed any related software and look around for a drive. It is a laptop, and I've never tried to install any hardware in a laptop, so I guess I'll just advise him to get it repaired by a professional. I appreciate all your help. I couldn't get along without...

I did go to the Microsoft Site. Thanks, I didn't know about Mr. Fixit even though I had tried searching microsoft.com. However, after doing it all, it still didn't work. So I went to the device manager, deleted the driver and restarted the computer. It came back saying that the install...

My brother-in-law's laptop (Gateway model W6501)stopped recognizing his Optiarc DVDRW AD7563A ATA device. The Device Manager says Code 19. I've looked for the exact driver to reinstall. I get lists of drivers to download, but none are the exact number. I've tried uninstalling the device and...

Thank you so much. I'm going to try that, though I'm not sure I understand all of it. I'll research. You have been a big help.

1. I’m not sure when they quit sharing, but I think it was before the Anti Virus program. For one thing, the Lap Top still had the old one running. I thought at first that was the reason—competing anti virus. 2. Thank you for the definition of “elevated”, I’m always glad to learn new things...

1. I can’t share anything between the computers. 2. I think I can restore before they quit sharing, but I’d rather not because I just downloaded a new virus protection software. Also, I’m not sure when it stopped sharing. More to say about that if it is necessary. I don’t want to bore you. 3...

I need to be able to use my printer from my laptop occasionally. It is directly connected to my PC. I used to be able to do this, now I can’t. It might have something to do with the fact that I used a registry cleaner on my PC. I don’t know. All the tech support I’ve gotten, so far tells...

Thank you so much! I think that was what was wrong. I was unable to uninstall it from the CD. Sorry this note is so late, I got hung up with other things.

I'm sorry, which part is the one I should try? I can't see the resemblence. I'm not getting an error message, it just won't uninstall. I'm not trying to install. I can't find the "installation in progress" in the registry.

I think my uninstall program is gone. THis happened once before along with a bunch of problems. I had my drive reformated. Now it won't uninstall again.
