It seems a CD I was using to install a program somehow came off of the tray and is still inside my DVD drive. The tray ejects fine and I can see the CD in there. It would be tough to get at it but it looks like it might be possible to remove it from the front. I could try putting a blank CD in the drive to see if it would jar the first one loose but I really don't want to aggravate the problem.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop (2GB RAM, 100GB HDD) with Windows XP MCE 2005 (SP2) running.
Recently I had to to do an in-place install as I was getting BSOD on trying to enter safe mode. Everything went on fine without a glitch.
But now I do see a hit on my laptop's performance. It takes longer to boot and hand over cursor control after booting.

I recently got myself a new keyboard, the fairly expensive Razer Tarantula. One of the key features of this keyboard is its so called Anti-Ghosting, which is more precisely described as 10-key rollover over USB. (k-key rollover denotes the ability of keyboards to correctly handle a situation in which k keys are pressed simultaneously, independent of the combination pressed) However, to use it, you need to know the secret code!

Hi all,

hey, i have recently been advised to reinstall windows and i am getting the BSoD message when attempting to install windows. this is due to my computer's SATA driver. this requires a floppy with the drivers on it.
however, i do not know how to get these 32bit files which are needed:
jraid (security catalog)
Jraid (system file)
txtsetup.oem
xraid_f

my motherboard type is ms-6741
i do have a floppy drive, so all i need is the files. does anyone know where i can get these?

edit: i'm trying to install windows xp with service pack 2 if thats any help

My windows runs smoothly as long as i do not shut down, may be for months. Even restart is not a problem. But when it gets shut down once, it does not start. And my technician say " Sir, ur SMPS has gone." he changes the smps and it starts n shuts down for two three times and i am a happy person. But again the same problem.
Please help me!!!!

Thanks in advance.

I bought a Acer 9412WSMi from a family member but that person was blind and has changed every settings from the size of the pictures i've been able to change the size of the minimalization screensize and the close tab located top right corner the normal buttons but don't know how to call these haha. But the problem i'm having is that when i install the new msn messenger the tabs are huge and the pictures from buzzer emoticons and the rest at the bottom of the screen are also very large and not viewable.

This might be in the wrong place and I'm sorry. I just don't know about this stuff. I'm a beginner when it comes to the computer and I've been learning so much the last four days and three forums trying to fix this problem.

I can't burn a copy or disc any faster than 0.87X and I'm using Roxio 10. I was told the problem is because of the PIO I can't get to change to DMA on the Primary IDE channel?

Here's a picture:

I have a peculiar problem. Suddenly the @ key is transposed with the " key. Is there anything I can do about it?
