I have a problem. I have adjourned the bios of the pc acer aspire M1641 and when I have restarted the pc tuneup utilities it signals me this problem:
the peripheral "Nvidia port io control driver" doesn't correctly work
Do you know as solution for this?
Did you find a solution to this problem? TuneUp Utilities report on an identical problem on my win7 system

This is a question for information about why my networking problem finally was resolved.
I have four PC?s on my network; one Windows 7 and three Windows XP. The Windows 7 PC always sees all three of the other computers. However the Windows XP computers sometimes don?t see the other XP computers when I press ?My Network Places.? Quite by accident I discovered that if I press ?View Workgroup Computers? then ALL the other PC?s in the network DO show up. Furthermore, if I click through "View Workgroup Computers" and access/edit a file on one of the other computers, then this computer will ALSO show up in ?My Network Places.? This behavior seems to be quite consistent and works every time I have tried it. Apparently, this is a workaround to the long vexing problem of why my networked PC?s sometimes don?t show up under ?My Network Places.?
My question: why does ?View Workgroup Computers? apparently always show all the networked PC?s, when ?My Network Places? does so only intermittently or sometimes not at all?
Thanks for any response.
Hi there,
I have a problem running Patran 2007 in Windows 7, the program seems to run fine, and I am able to open data bases and work on them. The problem comes in when I want to either save the database, open a new database or just open a current database. For each of these functions a new smaller window pops up so I can navigate to the correct file or path to click on it or whatever.
Initially the window opens as I would expect, but as soon as I move the mouse or try to use the keyboard to navigate, the window goes blank and I can do nothing with it. Strangely, using the compatibility setting to open the program in a 640x480 display, they do seem to work fine, but because of the small resolution, I cannot actually see the part of the window where the files are - so that also doesn't help me.
It seems as though there is something between Patran and Windows that one of them don't like, but it baffles me that everything else works fine. If any one else has had the same problem, maybe with a different program even, let me know what you did to resolve it. Otherwise any advise would be useful.
First, how long has this been going on? Did it start right from the time you installed it?
You may try uninstalling and then reinstalling Patran. If that does not help, try running it in compatibility mode for Vista or XP.
I plugged my laptop into an integra 30.4 receiver via HDMI port (multiple ports) and with the receiver on the right device port and connected to a tv or a projector and I get no audio out of the HDMI port only Video. Video works great!
The laptop is an alienware laptop on Windows 10 (upgraded from windows 7 purchased November of 2011). The HDMI would transfer audio and video in windows 7 intermittently for a year or two. However, I had to turn the tv, receiver, and computer on in a specific order and eventually, approximately 1 hour of doing this each time I wanted audio I'd get the audio over the HDMI cable until I shut down....
I've been on windows 10 now for a while and never have gotten the HDMI audio to work. I kinda gave up but would like to use my laptop now to play movies to my new epson 4k projector and am unable to get audio to work at all. Video is phenomenal.
The HDMI port shows up in the device manager under sound devices. However, constantly shows "Cable not plugged in" whether the cable is or is not plugged in.
It's an older Geforce card - wanna say it's a Geforce 555. Also has an intel graphics adapter as well. I've done all the nvidia updates, windows updates, I've gone so far as removing the sound adapters and rebooting, removing the graphics adapters and letting them reinstall. The HDMI audio port always comes back with "Cable Not plugged in." It's staring me in the face constantly.
I kinda gave up and switched to broadca... Read more
Well I dont know what caused this but I can open the control panel but when I click on something eg. "uninstall a program" or "change the theme" there comes a message saying windows explorer has stopped working, thus restarting explorer.exe
I'm running windows 7 professional 32 bit.
Edit: it also crashes when I reopen the control panel when the control panel is already open.
Okay guys, I'm at my wits end.
In the device manager, there are two entries for the video card, one being called secondary. The primary one has a code 12.
When I load up Windows, and the ATI control panel goes to load, it gives me an error saying that the driver is either not installed or not installed correctly and then proceeds to close.
I have disabled the onboard video in safe mode, uninstalled the onboard video drivers, as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the ATI drivers about a million different times in a million different ways.
According to e-machines tech support, you can't disable onboard video in the BIOS.
ATI tech support told me that I needed to upgrade my BIOS (and that this problem was common on e-machines) but then e-machines proceeded to tell me that there was not a BIOS update available for my machine.
So one big resounding WTF from me.
As for my specs, I am not entirely sure how to give them to you, but here is a link to my particular model on e-machines website.
I recently upped the RAM to 768MB.
At this point I am just wondering if I ought to save up my money for a better machine.
what are the specs of your current machine?
Everytime I try to open Google Earth, Starcraft 2, or run a Nvidia stability test the application freezes, the screen goes black for a few seconds, and the above message pops up along with error code "8". I also somtimes get "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered", which then crashes and recovers several times until the whole computer crashes and I get blue screened. It always happens with ten seconds of opening one of those programs. I have tried updateing my graphics drivers, clean installing older drivers, editing the registry, turning off Aero, and using system restore. Nothing works and I am out of ideas.
Here are my specs:
OS Version: Microsoft® Windows Vista Home Premium , Service Pack 2, 32 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, x64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 6

I thought I was computer savvy until this problem came up. When I double click my computer, recycle bin, control panel, etc, the hourglass comes up for a few seconds, goes off, and nothing else. No error messages or anything, just nothing. I have viewed a few of the threads covering this and a common link was the hijack this result. I have posted that here, and really hope that someone can help me with this. I have run SpyBotSD and adaware, I have run mutiple virus scans, I did an SFC, and the final thing was to repair windows using the original disk, none of which has help. I am running Window XP w/SP2. Any other suggestions would be certainly appreciated. Hope to here from someone soon. MTCS, out.

You may want to reinstall the operating system.
Backupthe files that are importantto you before you reinstall.
The "New" installation will overwrite the current one
If you do not format your hard drive before the reinstall the installation should not harm your files (That's why I suggest backingup your files) and will speed up the installation process.
For some reason, my "Recycle Bin" will not display the files within it with the correct filters while in the "Details" view.
For example, I have the "View" set to "Details", and the two columns I have showing are "Name" and "Type", with "Name" selected as the preferred sort order.
With those settings in place, the "Recycle Bin" is not displaying the files in the correct order.I am not sure of the order that it is displaying them, as I can't pick-up on any pattern.
For example, it is displaying:
When I adjust it again so it displays them in the correct order, the next time I open the "Recycle Bin", the order has returned to the incorrect display.
Any ideas on how to correct this?

The first simple thing you can do is take out your graphics card and check for any signs of damage,
I have blown a 6200 and a 8400 before trying to play games not compatible with them. Signs to look for a black marks and such, also check to see if the fan spins when the computer starts up. Try moving your video cable to the onboard graphics, system should work and if it does you need a new graphics card, dont feel bad, your not a gamer till you blow a nividia card
With how my computer appears presently, I'm surprised I was even able to register at this site.

HP Touchscreen IQ 506 with Win 7 (SP1), recently recovered (since restore points had been lost).
NVIDIA 9300M GS Display Driver version 188.8.131.526.
Recovery was to Vista, and used upgrade disc to Win7.
Since recovery, I have been experiencing sporadic black-outs, with the message "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered." This has been the case before, as well as after, upgrading to the present driver version.
Display has always returned, but still a nuisance to have activity interrupted.
Never experienced this prior to recovery, and I have not installed any software which was not installed prior to recovery.
The posts on other forums for this problem, for the most part, refer to use during playing action games. The only games I play are card games, and it isn't necessarily during a game when this occurs. I can be reading email or viewing a site on Firefox.
Any additional info needed?

I am getting an exception errror relating to a powercfg.cpl problem on a WindowsXP Pro SP3 system. (Sony VAIO laptop). I can run other .cpl files but I get an error message about powercfg.cpl when I try running "power Options" in the control panel or running the .cpl file from Start|RUN. I have backed up the 3 powercfg related files in system32 and replaced them with files from my XP Pro SP3 desktop system but it still works the same.
The exact error message is <An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\powercfg.cpl",">

I just bought a new desktop and within the first hour I had an error message that said, "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA kernel mode driver version 186.75 stopped responding and has successfully restored". What the heck is this? Could this be related to Windows 7 and would anyone happen to have any suggestions? What happens is the screen goes black for about two seconds then appears with the above error message on the task bar. This happens very randomly, and maybe three to six times a day (had my computer for about two weeks). Also, two times now it has gone black and not come back! Just a little frustrated to say the least. Thank you anyone!

I installed 7 last night and found out it would not detect my nvidia 6600GT card, even though it is fully supported by windows 7. Found a lot of people had the same problem but no one really had a solution.
This problem occurs when Windows 7 boots up in VgaSave mode (1200px wide max resolution). And trying to install the nvidia driver it tells you "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"
After tons of trial and error, downloading previous drivers, downloading edited inf files from NVIDIA & Laptop News | Latest NVIDIA drivers and related news | laptopvideo2go.com, I finally decided to flash my bios using a bootable USB stick.
It worked, and windows update was able to download the correct driver, and I was later allowed to install the latest nvidia drivers.
So if all else fails, go to your computer or motherboard manufacturer and download the latest BIOS update.
Hope that helps..

Welcome to Seven Forums, loganz.
Thanks for the tip and posting your issue and solution. I'm sure it will help a lot of folks. Good work.
I am using Windows 7 on my laptop and I have question about when to use "Home", "Work" and "Public" profile.
If I am logging in without setting password, and I am logging in network with "Public" profile, then will any other user, who can see my computer, be able to enter my computer and check the contents on my computer ?
I am connecting to a network and there are 6 other users connected to this network. In the set network location window, if I select the netwoek as "Home", does it mean that other 6 users will not be able to see my computer on network and if I use "Public", then all other six users will be able to see my computer on network ?
Hello all,
I've spent a good few days trying everything the internet has thrown up to fix my mistake but nothing has worked. I shall list my attempts to fix subsequently.
My problem is this: six days ago, I was using my laptop on its battery and I noticed that the battery icon in the notification bar still showed the mains plug and claimed it was at 100% charge, which it wouldn't be after at least 45 minutes of use.
Plugging my laptop back into the mains, restarting and running from the mains, then unplugging it did not change this icon at all. I searched for a way to fix this problem, and came across deleting and reinstalling the driver from Device Manager > Batteries and deleting "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" then Action > Scan for hardware changes. Unfortunately, I closed the Device Manager window by mistake before I scanned for changes, so when I reopened it the hardware change was not registered, so there was no ability to reinstall the recently deleted driver.
I have tried to: find the driver itself on the Acer driver webpage: it is not there
restarting laptop, removing battery and mains connections, de-charging capacitors, then rebooting to "register" the battery
downloading various .exe files that claim to reinstall the missing driver (these have installed "Microsoft AC Adapter" drivers instead)
do a system restore - nothing suitable and ones older than 3 months have been deleted

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums ... Have a look in Programs and Features for ePower Management ...
The Software is not on the Acer Website for your Model ..
Though i have read the Manual for your Laptop and it should have that Software ...
Whenever I plug in my USB device it wants to "scan and fix" but works if I just continue. On the other hand the G drive which is for my SD card gives me errors of corruption even before I took it out for the first time. Something is up with the drives and they are updated and all that. Also, with the SD card it doesn't let me delete and when I do add it is just the folder without the contents which then I can't delete. Help me fix this problem. I have a LX series Gateway computer with the pop up drive if that gives you any idea what I am dealing with.
PS: Should have bought a Mac.

I am new here. At first a happy new year to everybody.
Yesterday I bought the boxed version of True Image 7.0 and installed it. During the installing I also made boot disks as well as as a boot cd, both in the "complete" version. After that I tried to boot from the disks and also from the cd (of course changed the bios to boot from cdrom). Both didn't work ! My computer booted and I did get the start screen from Acronis but after that it said: "Loading Acronis, please wait" , with the disks as well as with the cd. After that nothing happened anymore, even after 10 minutes.
I made a new boot cd but this time a "safe" version and that DID work. I assume however that, because there are no usb drivers etc. included, you can't use it with an external usb drive or so.
Does anyone here have the same experience or a clue to solve it ? I already emailed Acronis, but didn't get a reply yet (probably because it's New Year ?)
Thanks in advance.
No idea, but this is clearly something that Acronis chould be able to sort out.
My Win 7x64 desktop was off for several days, with the console unplugged. Upon first start up today, I was prompted to update the AMD driver to Catalyist 12.10, which I did. It seemed to have an effect on another app that I wanted to reverse, so I ran System Restore to right before the computer was last shut down. It returned an error message, and again after a normal reboot: It read that System Restore didn't complete running. "The data is invalid (0x8007000D)." Running System Restore to later time points got the same result.
Later, I tried a cold boot into System Repair, F8 (nothing found). The System Restore error message now was as follows:
"rstrui.exe - Application error
The instruction at 0xfb30584d referenced memory at
0x00000008. The memory could not be read."
I did a google search on rstrui.exe error, but didn't find a lot and so far none of it has worked. The last system image backup before today was two weeks ago, so that's not a welcome option. Any ideas what the problem might be and how to get Sys Restore going again? Thanks,
By chance, do you have Agnitum Outpost firewall on your machine? Other forum threads indicate this could cause problems for system restore. The recommended solution was to disable a function called Self Protection.
You could also see if there are any damaged or corrupt system files by running a system file checker scan from and elevated command prompt (option two.) If problems are found run the scan 3 times and reboot your computer after each scan.

My dad was recently doing some work on this computer and he REALLY changed the settings in Word around. I was able to get most of them back to how I like it, except one.
When I highlight text and click "delete" to erase it or highlight it and start typing to replace it... it doesn't work. It's like some "text protector" where it doesn't delete it.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7000) on an lenovo pc (Intel Pentium 4 - 2.8GHz, 2.00 GB RAM). my pc's actual graphics card is "Intel 82865G Graphics Controller" but windows 7 loads it as "standard VGA graphics card" which gives me a very very bad video quality but computer works great. HOWEVER,when i update video graphics back to my "Intel 82865G Graphics Controller" & play any video, the video quality is excellent & direct 3d & hardware acceleration starts working contrary to "standard VGA graphics card" but gives major computer operation problems. For e.g., As soon as i resize my VLC interface or run any other media players (like powerdvd or windows media players etc), the computer either gets stuck/hung or it shows a blue screen message saying "disable bios memory such as caching or shadowing" OR "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" & lots of other explorer based problems.i tried changing various 3d settings in opengl as well, but in vain.

I had an issue with the general user folder name, which was shown as "Alex_000".
Although this was a cosmetic issue only, I wanted to change this to "Alex".
I successfully managed this by changing about 50 entries in the registry (via regedit).
So fine so good.
Now I found out that there are still some leftovers with "Alex_000" in the Windows system, although I have tried to find every bit and peace, where possible:
When I try to open "Add or Remove Programs" in the Metro surface, I get an error message:
Windows cannot find
'C:\Users\alex_000...\Classic_{a lot of weird numbers and chars}.settingscontent-ms'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
From another forum topic, i also tried this command via Metro and RUN to see, if the Remove service has a general problem:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Windows\System32\appwiz.cpl",Add or Remove Programs
--> With this, i can open the Remove service without a problem.
Somewhere in the system, there must still be the Alex_000 info hidden.
How can i find this? (Tried the registry, tried a simple search on C: disc, but without success)
How can I solve this?
Thanks a lot!
The obvious answer is to change it all back to Alex_000. Renaming a system folder doesn't usually go well.5 more replies
Whenever I try to open a file with a program such as Winamp, the programs now "arranges the icons" in some funky random arrangement instead of arranging them by name (or by type, or modified) or whichever order I had preset. When I tell it to "arrange icons by" name or whatever other options, it arranges them....until I try to open something else. Then it's back to the funky random arrangement.
This only happens when trying to access a file from a different program. When I access the folder through Windows, it remembers the arrangement perfectly. Any clue as to what's going on here?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just recently I had re-formatted, this being one of the problems. It was fixed, and halleluja! I could restart! w00tzor!
I started installing my software and games, and continued restarting.
The last things I installed:
Soundblaster Live! Value Drivers
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Drivers
While installing both of them (From CD, I have two drives), I went into MSconfig and dis-abled the AudioHQ that auto starts, and when both of them finished installing (Well SBLive drivers finished a little early) I hit restart, as prompted by my msconfig.
I was greeted by "Primary Hard Disk 0 not found"
"Strike F1 to retry, F2 to enter setup utility"
I hit retry 3 times, and it didn't work. I went into my BIOS Setup, and it said my Primary Hard Disk is an "unknown" device. When I bootup and go into the menu again, It says its my 60 GB drive, as its supposed to.
What happened?

MSCONFIG would not cause your HD to not be recognised by the BIOS. If your Bios is not seeing the HD there may be a loose wire. Bad cable of the HD may be going bad. Someone made a good point about spinup time in another thread. Myabe the BIOS is not giving the drive ample time to get to speed. If its a newer drive it may be having a problem with the motor. Try downloading Maxtor's HD check utility.

During times when this happens, I can look into the device manager and see a "code 10" ("device cannot start") for the trackpad. Restarting the computer fixes the problem.
I've had the problem once or twice over the last few years, but just a few weeks ago, it started happening very regularly (+/- 50% of all startup attempts). I can't recall making any notable changes to the system lately that could cause something like this. When the problem first started, it also affected the display adapter (Windows would start with an extremely low resolution and the graphic card would show a similar fault in the device manager, in addition to the trackpad problem described here), but this has since stopped.
I have tried updating the driver for the trackpad to a newer version, but the problem persists.
Hardware faults were considered, but I was able to successfully boot the computer from a WinPE CD five times in a row with no issues, so it would seem like this is less likely to be a hardware bug.
Any ideas as to where to go from here? I don't want to have to reinstall an otherwise clean and functional operating system for something this trivial.
Hi, try using this to check the temps HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID
Temps can play havoc with laptops.
Cleaning the fan and air vents with a can of compressed air might clear away ant dust or debris, which could cause temps to rise.
I have an HP pavillion desktop (s5360f) with Atheros 802.11 a/b/g/n Dualband Wireless Module and D-Link router DIR-615. My numerous Laptops and iPhons / iPads work fine, but this desktop which is further away from the router (in another room, about 20 meters) only shows 1-2 bars of wifi. First I bought a big additional D-Link antenna (7Ghz) but it didn't really help - sometimes connction shows 3 bars. I was told this antenna should help a lot. Then I checked with my router settings and saw that the HP uses "g" connection when everything else uses "n". I even set it to only use "n" but still it shows the HP using "g". I updated the driver (Atheros 126.96.36.199 for AR5B91), but it didn't help. I have "n" enabled in Atheros in Device manager.
Now I'm lost and can't think of anything else that can be a problem and / or how to fix it... I don't have any thick walls between the router and the HP, my iPhone seems to work in this room just fine...
Please help!
Out of curoisity, are you suffering any symptoms of lack of signal qualities (glitchy video/slow connectivity)?
And what speed does the HP Desktop show it being connected at?

I recently replaced my hard drive (sATA) with a fresh one, loaded with Windows Vista. Before even using anything in Vista, I immediately upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, without a hitch.
However, I seem to have lost the ability to select all using CTRL+a; it simply does nothing. Everything else works (ctrl+s, ctrl+x, ctrl+v, ctrl+c).
I cannot remember if it worked for the brief time I had Vista installed before upgrading to 7; it was a relatively short amount of time (like 20-30 minutes), so I don't know if I used CTRL+A then or not.
Any reasons why it won't work anymore, or how I can fix it?
Press Control + Windows Key + Alt simultaneously and all will be restored.
This info was culled from an arcane help manual at my disposal. YMMV
As you cAN see lowerAcse A doesn't work, but this isn't An issue with the keyboArd. Because the on-screen keyboard won't even input "a"!
Here two things that is not a possibility.
*Not a hardware or keyboard fault because "a" worked fine in Linux.
*Not the device driver, because I reinstalled....installed a different one, but to no avail.
I can't really think of anything other than reformtting

Hi all,
I noticed a really annoying issue on my machine.
When installing various software, when it asks me if I want to customise location, when I click on the "browse" button, it either doesn't do anything or in some cases it will open "Browser For Folder" window, but it will only show my Desktop>Usename folder, nothing else.
Software like K-Lite Codec pack will work fine as in I can change the installation location, but other software wont work :/
I do have mapped network drives if it makes any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Which Various Software are you speaking of? Many software programs need to be installed on the C: drive and do not give you the option to install to any other drives. You cannot install to a Network Drive as all programs needs to have access to the Windows Registry on the C: drive. Some programs can be installed to a secondary Local HDD. Stuff like Codecs Packs, which aren't really programs, can be installed anywhere, usually.7 more replies
I have four computers running Win10. On two of them the windows "Start" button on the task bar doesn't work. So I can't get to Settings or Apps. I can right click on the Start button and get the "right-click menu". All of the other task bar buttons work.
What's going on with this? It used to work. For a while it didn't work on my laptop, now that is working but on two other desktop computers it doesn't work. All computers have same Win10 version and latest updates (although hardware differs some between them).
Can I add the "Settings" and "All Apps" shortcut I would normally get left-clicking on the Start button to the Start button's "right-click menu"?
Hey CountryBumkin-
See if there's anything in HERE that might offer some help.
I recently got a new laptop and I've been having a lot of trouble with the sound. It is the laptop seen here:
Sometime the audio works, but then if I pause a song and attempt to resume it a few minutes later, errors occur and the audio seems to be disabled.
"Windows Audio has stopped working" flashes quickly, followed by:
"Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed
A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
Then, if I right click on the small volume icon in the bottom right by the time, go to "Playback Devices" I get the following message:
"This computer cannot play audio because the Windows Audio Service is not enabled.
Would you like to enable the Windows Audio Service?"
I click yes and the audio works again, but even after this it still acts funny.
Things of note:Sometimes the Volume Up/Down/Off buttons on my keyboard work, and sometimes they do not.
After this problem occurs and I restart it by going to Playback Devices, the audio cannot be turned up/down in Windows Media Player. I must manually adjust my (external) speakers.
I'm using Windows Media Player because Songbird and iTunes seem to freeze up every time I try to play music through them

I should start out by saying that the internet works at the university (we use Resnet), and that when I bring it back home and put in my cable, it doesn't work.
Windows reports that my laptop is connected to the internet, it's just that any attempt to go on any webpage or to ping even the router results in a timeout.
It's not that my router isn't accepting pings, I ping the LAN (not WAN) address (192.168.1.1) and I get no response.
I attached the result of an ipconfig /all:
In addition, in an attempt to repair the connection via windows results in a message "WIndows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your IP address.
And the 'packets received' in the tcp/ip window are abnormally small.
If anyone has any insight into this issue, please help. No internet on my laptop is driving me crazy. Thanks.
Restart the router as a first, this might sort you out. Also Try an ipconfig /flushdns command and after that ipconfig /release - /renew.
If this doesn't work, try assigning yourself static ip credentials as a test (with a known public DNS server). If this works, log into your router and try and ping the public DNS servers it has listed. If they do not respond, change them to known ones in your area.
Try these and let us know how you go :grinthumb

I've had windows 10 for several months (previously had windows 7). Up until yesterday, when I clicked on "all apps" an alphabetical list would come up, I'd scroll to what I wanted, and click on it. If there was an item with a sublisting, like Microsoft office a down symbol would appear. Click on that and the sublisting would appear and I could select word, excel, etc. Now when I click on the down symbol it just flips to an up symbol ^ and no sub menu appears. I'd really like to get to excel. This failure to bring up a sub menu happens for every down symbol, not just Microsoft office. What do I do? Try to re-load Windows 10? Uninstall and reinstall Office? Thanks
Hi, do you have any idea what happened yesterday? For example, if you look at your update history- did you receive an update?
Do you have System Restore on, and do you have any useful restore points?
Do you use system imaging (Windows Backup and Restore) or disk imaging which we keep strongly recommending here; that means you can restore an image previously created and get your Windows back running as was without technical help - and even recover from a disk failure or an unbootable PC? (e.g. Macrium reflect (free)).
Those could give you ways to recover.
What is your build version? (Windows key + R, winver).
If you haven't started using those vital recovery methods yet, you could try this:

Does this happen with another user account? If you could, try creating another user account in Windows and login with it. If it works there, your windows profile is corrupt and you will have to copy your files and settings to the new user you create.
If it is still happening, try going to a command prompt: Start/in the search box type "cmd" and hit enter.
At the prompt type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
When done, restart and see if the problem exists.
Alternately, this may work too.
Click Start.
In the search box, type regedit and press Enter.
Locate the following registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile
Now, right click on the right pane, select New String Value (REG_SZ).
Name the new registry value IsShortcut
No value data is required.
Reboot your computer for the change to take effect.

Just go to the Start Screen and type 'notifications'. One of the entries should be 'notifications settings'. Just click on it and you should see a screen with all the settings you need to control notifications.
You can disable them all, turn them off during certain hours or even customize them per individual app.
Sorry to hear you are having so many problems with Windows 8. Personally I have little or no problem with it. It's different, but much better in many ways.
Let me know what exactly what problems you're having and maybe I can help.

Hello all, am running Win 8.1 Pro x64. Today I noticed that the "Eject" option from the right-click menu doesn't work for either of my 2 CD-Rom drives, nor for a "virtual" drive - I get the same error message on all 3: "An error occured while ejecting [drive]".
Device Manager shows no errors, and I've tried uninstalling the drives and rebooting, but error persists. Can anyone help?
Also, to be clear, it is NOT a physical problem with the drives, as I can open them without a problem through the buttons on the front.
Finally, if for some reason I can't fix this issue, does anyone know of a way to at least just DELETE the "Eject" from the context menu?
Just to try and determine if your context menu is corrupted, you could try and create a shotcut to open/close your CD tray. With that said, there are several freeware programs available to create these shortcuts so I would just google for:
how to create a shortcut to eject cd
Then pick one and try it out. I hve done this before; however, I can't remember which one I used but I think it was NirSoft.
Good luck.
I have Internet Explorer v 6.0 on my computer and for the past couple of days it refuses to "Open in New Window" every time I right click on a link and choose the command. I notice this happens even if I click a link in an email. I use Outlook Express v 6.
My search in Google took me to the Microsoft site and (as usual!) their elaborate solution, which I tried out, didn't work. (according to MS this problem does not occur in IE version 4 or later!!). Next, I found a solution in this forum which worked, albeit only for a while. That solution involved running the following commands from Start/Run.
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Another solution I found asked to check broken file associations...which I did. Everything seems ok but the new window still doesn't open.
Somebody, please help.
Sounds like a malware hijacking. That seems to cause a lot of eratic action in IE some times. Try running HiJackThis and see what is controling IE. Run SpyBot S&D and Ad-Aware to get rid of Malware. Also run a good virus scan. If you are using Norton AV try using Avast, it seems to catch a few more than NortonsAV in my experience. You will need to make sure that all of Nortons/Symantec Antivirus is removed before you run Avast.
Hey guys,
My dad recently bought a HP Windows 8 laptop but can't get used to the new OS. He asked me to install Windows 7 on it for him. I'm currently trying to get the drivers sorted for it and for the Windows drivers such as Chipset and Graphics, i'm getting the error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software" which doesn't make sense as the specs of the laptop are:
Win 7 Ultimate X64
6GB Ram
Intel Core i5-4200U 1.60 GHz
Intel HD GFX
I can't get the drivers of the manufacturers website since they are all of course Windows 8 drivers.

I am not sure whether I should be posting this in the Windows forum or the PC Hardware because it involves both.
I have an external 320 GB Transcend Drive with a lot of important data.
Recently, I unplugged it from my PC and took to another to get some files.
One the other machine (Vista), it didn't show up as far as I can remember, thought that was strange so i brought it back to my Laptop (Win 7, Dual Boot with Ubuntu 10) and it only showed as Local Disk, I have tried to find useful information on the net but some is very vague and some is outright stupid and irrelevant.
The fact is that the HDD is not broken. When in Ubuntu I can view the contents fine and everything is there, no freeze ups or anything, but in windows the drive shows up as Local Disk, I don't think it is a drive letter conflict.
The Device shows up fine in the Device Manager.
I'm sure some of you have solved this problem as it seems many on the Internet have.
If so please tell me in a few steps how you resolved it.. I am not formatting as I do not deem this necessary since I can access my data fine in Ubuntu.

I suggest that while in Ubuntu you move the files to local HDD, then reformat external HDD, then copy the files back.2 more replies

After a while of searching the inet in vain I realized I hadn't tried to start regedit.exe or regedt32.exe in SysWOW64 (but regedt32.exe in System32, which gives the error), and surprisingly, it worked.
Still the problem remains: I can't start it using "Run" anymore (which worked since 18.05.2005), and I didn't change anything big but uninstalled WindowBlinds (a windows skinning software which worked quite well for many months). Could WindowBlinds be the reason, and if so, how? Moreover, will I experience further problems?
(msconfig still works normally and can be started by "Run"; often, this isn't possible when encountering the regedit clb.dll error)
I would appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

Hello and Happy New Year to all...
I have a 250Gb HD partitioned into three virtual drives: OS 9.7Gb, Programs 48.8Gb and Data 174Gb [after formating and partitioning]. The OS partition shows 2.37Gb free, and the XP defrag utility recommends defraging this partition. When I attempt to do so, the utility runs for a while and then "finishes." However, looking at the fragmentation statistics, the partition is hardly cleaned up, and "analyzing" the partition again recommends defraging. I can do this any number of times, and the MS utility constantly shows significant fragmentation and insists that the partition needs defraging. This does not happen on the other two partitions [programs and data], both of which defrag "normally." Also, the color bar graffics in the defrag utility shows the defragmentation in the OS partition.
Any suggestions as to what's happening here? Thanks much.

Hi guys, just intalled Win 7 after having it some time and I love it. I usually clean out my "sample pictures, music and videos" up after installation. This may or may not have something to do with my minor annoyance. If I go to my user profile and I wish to change my picture, the "browse for more pictures..." link does nothing when I click to it. I dont know if it's trying to reference that folder. I put a new folder and named it sample pictures in C:Users/public/public pictures but still no dice. Any idea how to replace them? fix windows or find them on the DVD and place them back in their appropriate place? I should probably familiarize myself a little more with the OS before I start deleting folders and what not..
Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Redz36, and welcome to Eight Forums.

PC settings - Fix and Restore in Windows 8.1
As this question was never answered I'll post it verbatim with my own comments below,
See original post here;
In all operating systems up to Vista, the flash drive's "active" light turns off when I go through the disconnect procedure; but, in Vista, it doesn't. I have traditionally used this as part of my explanation to others (and a convenience to myself) about when to not to remove the flash drive from its USB port.
This is a problem common to all Vista systems I've seen.
Why does the light not turn off in Vista?
And, is there an easy way to correct this?
Additional information: I have eliminated this problem being hardware-related. I have loaded Vista onto one of my systems here that previously had Windows 2000, then XP on it and it was only with the loading of Vista that the problem developed on this system. Just to be absolutely sure, I did a restore of a previous image of Windows 2000 and the problem went away again. I put Vista back on and the problem came back. So, this is strictly a Vista problem.Click to expand...
I have had the same problem with every Vista system I have used and every flash drive (note this means SSD NAND flash not HDD's or card adapters). AS the last discussion degraded into useless questions about hardware and other OS's let's get a confirmation that someone out there actually has a flash drive that turns its activ... Read more
have done a litte research and testing in my lab on several machines and have confirmd the problem. What it seems to indicate to me is that, in Vista, the light simply indicates power, not data transfer. Whenever I am transferring data, the light blinks.
While I have never actually tested it, I do not belive that the "safely remove" feature actually kills all power to the USB port in XP. If that is the case, then there is really no danger as long as vista has acknowledged the disconnect and knows not to try to write data to the drive.
The hard drive is a Western Digital 320 GB that I've had plugged into this computer before (and worked). Then i got a virus and had to do a recovery of windows.
Ever since then I can't get windows to recognize/show it in my computer. I just "disabled" and "enabled" it in device manager to no effect. I have a C, D, and E drive which are: two partitions on the hard drive, and then the CD drive (respectively).
So i'm stuck, not sure where to proceed since it's obviously not the hard drive itself, I use it on my xbox all the time. What next?
Does it show in Disk Management ? ?
Right clik My Computer...select Manage...then Disk Management.
Find the drive...right clik it and select Properties.

ie9 new browser opens "blank" windows 7. Changing it to "home" doesn't last if you shut down. Next session, it still opens "blank"
Welcome to Seven Forums bobbot11. Help us understand. When you 1st open IE, it opens to a blank page instead of your home page? Or is opening new tabs that open a blank tab? Or is opening a new window that opens a blank window?
If IE is opening to a blank page instead of a home page you have set, try re-registering IE.
Download the IE Restorator, and choose Re-register 32 bit IE in (whichever version your OS is) W7

Hi everyone, this morning I turned on the PC to do the usual stuff but I could not connect to my internet with the error "Unidentified Network - Limited". After trying to troubleshoot my ethernet I get the error "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration". After troubleshooting didn't work I took to the web. I literally tried every solution I found... to no avail. This brings me to extra frustration since I only built my PC last thursday.

But it has in the past with the same sound card, Mobo, CPU, OS that i have now. only things i've changed since it last worked hardware wise is doubled the ram and got a SSD drive. I'm fairly up to speed on windows sound mixing and i have set what you hear to default recording device. I've reinstalled the sound card driver and tried different ones, updated the mobo sound chipset, made sure the Mobo's built in audio is disabled in bios. Can't think of what else but i've tried a alot and read a lot about the issue in a google search including several threads on the subject here. The issue is no audio is reaching what you hear because when i play any sound and have the recording devices open, the meter next to what u hears isn't showing signal and in fact it looks greyed out. The meter next to speakers on the playback page does show signal in it's meter.
I don't know what could have happened since it last worked, but this is really driving me crazy because i have a important project i need to work on and have little time before the deadline, and what you hear is necassary to be able to work on it.
Solved it ! I had to restart so i lost the page, but i used some 3rd party modded driver for my creative card by Daniel something. Just rememeber the 1st name. Anyways, it worked.1 more replies

I have just restored my pc's factory settins, so everything has been wiped.
I have not loaded any programs or software on to the pc, except one game I am trying to use.
The program works fine on my laptop and I get no error messages. But when I try and open the program on my pc I get the following message:
"Compenent "MSINET.OCX"or of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."
I have downloaded the "MSINET.OCX" file and I have put it in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32"
I then type RegSvr32 msinet.ocx in the Start/Run, it the say the registration is successful.
I try to open the game again the error message still comes up.
I have tried another method of trying to register the, "MSINET.OCX" file
by downloading the MSINET.OCX file with another file, putting them in the same folder and clicking install. This also does not fix the problem.
I have tried it on both windows XP Home and Windows XP Proffessional but still get the message.
I am not a computer wizz but I have tried everything I have found on the web to do, but no luck, please someone with more brains than me help, thank you, Ash

You should first try resetting the router by holding down the reset button for 30 seconds, still holding down the button, unplug the router for 30 seconds, power back up while still holding down the button for 30 more seconds.
After that it's required that you go into the routers settings and make sure the wireless is set up correctly, you need to add SSID "name of network" set up a password to connect, then choose the security and encryption, WPA2 and AES encryption tends to work best with Windows 7 drivers.
After that check your wireless profile for this connection by going to the Network and Sharing center, look left for "Manage wireless connections" and use the same settings that you used for the router.
If you are still having problems please post the ipconfig/all from this machine and I'll have a look at it.
Yeah, my computer refuses to make any sound, and when i check my sound driver (or, well, not that sure what it's called in english, my copy of windows is in finnish, so i can't be sure) It's called: C-Media AC97 Sound Device, and i have this thing called:ES1688 AudioDrive (WDM). Both show the error "could not be turned on. (code 10)".
I'll give more details if necessary.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Is your sound card built-in to the motherboard? If it is, go to your motherboard manufacturers website and download the latest drivers for the audio. Then make sure to uninstall the sound devices from device manager and then click search for new hardware. Point the intall to the new drivers.1 more replies
Hello everyone,
I've run into an issue that I can't seem to find answer to on the net.
When I open My Computer, Control Panel or any folder no files or directories display, after first there is a green loading bar on the address bar and little magnifying glasses (searching icon) on the left side directories but never displays anything.
The files I can see in other folders are unable to be opened and have white blank page icons next to them.
I can still run application so I'm not sure what the issue is. I ran a scan for virus with nothing found and I have also ran a windows update but have not restarted my PC yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I'm having a problem with "Display" in the Control Panel. Yesterday I visited a website and opened a file. After I did that, my wallpaper changed and it appeared to be whatever the website was. I was able to somehow get it off (don't ask me what I did, I couldn't tell you). Now, when I click on "Display" in the Control Panel and go to "Desk Top", the only thing that I can change is the color and I can also click on "Customize Desktop", but I cannot change the background or click on "browse...". Can you help?

I thought I was computer savvy until this problem came up. When I double click my computer, recycle bin, control panel, etc, the hourglass comes up for a few seconds, goes off, and nothing else. No error messages or anything, just nothing. I have viewed a few of the threads covering this and a common link was the hijack this result. I have posted that here, and really hope that someone can help me with this. I have run SpyBotSD and adaware, I have run mutiple virus scans, I did a SFC, and the final thing was to repair windows using the original disk, none of which has help. I am running Window XP w/SP2.

My problem is, whenever I try to view a photo it would lag opening and once its opened I'd see blue pixel fragments all over my screen. Previously I tried to Re-install the latest driver. That didn't work. I uninstalled it and removed the registries and what not, that didn't work. So I'm now on a newly formatted Laptop and opening the Default images the Windows provides gives me these errors. Before I formatted I was getting these Errors - "Nvidia Display Driver Has Stopped Responding and Successfully Recovered".
I've read this link and I've done some of what they've said as I stated above.
I don't have anything installed other then Starcraft 2 which is being Optimized right now - and that's it.
I had Photoshop CS6 installed on my previous Installation of Windows and when this problem Occured Photoshop had trouble as well.
So does anyone know what I can do?
I really don't want to send the Laptop off. I'd like to see if I can fix it myself first. If not then I'll send it in.
Any help would be appreciated...

Do you have a recovery restore install disc or partition?
You can try doing a repair or system file check...
Scan For Missing/Corrupt System Files...
Windows XP comes with a wonderful tool called System File Checker (SFC)
Itscans and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer...
To Do This:
Click Start menu, and then click the Run icon.
In the small box that Opens, type the three letters: cmd then click the OK button.
In the command prompt window that just opened (a black background and white text), type the following command:
SFC /scannow
And then click OK
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run SFC..
You will need your Windows XP CD during this procedure if SFC needs to get an original file. Please remember that Windows XP can have multiple instances of a .DLL file and remember which version is for which program.
I have been asked if it is possible to have a "progress meter" show when SFC runs... This is the registry hack you need. PLEASE do not go messing with your registry if you do NOT know what you are doing!

Yesterday I reinstalled Windows 7 on my notebook PC. I had to use a Microsoft installation disk because unfortunately, serious errors resulted after I installed from the HP recovery program. Consequently the HP drivers that were installed automatically with the recovery program weren't installed on my system. I had to install several of them from the HP support site. I got everything to work except for the Touch volume control, or the Volume Scroll Zone as referred to by HP in the service guide. This is the device located just above the keyboard that increases or decreases speaker volume when you drag you finger on it. I installed the Quick Launch button driver but that only applied to the mouse and pointer touchpad. I looked at the devices listed in my startup configuration. I saw the synaptics pointing device and the HP quick launch buttons listed. So is the IDT PC audio driver. What am I missing? Where I can I find it to activate the touch volume control?

Hi guys i inserted my brother's usb/pen drive /stick in to my computer a week before and just after inserting the pen drive a dialogue box or screen appeared which says ''gotcha you" and "you are in my control".
this same virus caused my brother's laptop to go haywire around two months ago.it slowed the whole OS of that laptop like opening media player took like a couple of minutes also the mouse cursor acted weirdly.so i had to format the laptop's hard drive and reinstall XP.
now i am worried this virus slowing my pc down too.but i really don't want to format and reinstall my XP as all my games and programs are installed and finely tuned.
so anybody knows what is name of this virus/Trojan/spy ware(?) and which anti virus software can successfully detect,remove/delete it from my pc?
I already tried AVG free edition but it can't even detect it and again please tell me the name of this virus if you know so that when the right anti virus software detects it i can delete or remove it with certainty.
thanks for reading my big post

When I use the netsh command to set and start the "Hosted Network", I can set the settings fine, but starting the hosted network yields "The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.". I have already tried the fix where you enable the "Virtual Adapter" device in device manager, but it did not change anything.
On the flip side, using the "Mobile Hotspot" option inside of the settings starts fine and works correctly.
I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 Anniversary Edition (build 14393) on a Dell Inspiron 7558. The wireless networking card is dual-band 802.11ac.
I originall posted a topic in SevenForums the other day, though I recently found a closed thread here with a problem that sounds very similar to the one I am having; however the one response it got was very dissatisfying to my disappointment.
The thread I found on here stated the following:
I work for an organization with about 300 employees and almost all have computers. I have experienced the following issue on several machines over the years and still cannot find an answer anywhere on the internet, so I am posting here.
I have an HP business desktop that has two parallel ports in it: LPT1 and LPT2. On a rare occasion the printer connected to LPT1 will jam and I have to clear the paper out of the paper path. After I clear the jam, the computer is no longer able to print anything to LPT1. If I use the application that prints to LPT1 again, I get an error in the application stating "The requested resource is in use. (170)" Others on the internet have reported similar errors and in a few cases, the exact same error, but no luck with a solution. Further, there is no error in the Event Viewer's application or system logs.
So, I have tried:
+ uninstalling LPT1 port from the Device Manager, reboot, and still no luck. Same error.
+ uninstalling LPT1 port from the Device Manager, shutdown, disable the parallel port entirely, boot into Windows, shutdown, re-enable the parallel port, boot into Windows. Same error.
+ Reassign LPT1 port to LPT3. Same error.

MPR Covers NorShor Theatre Restoration
Duluth's historic NorShor Theatre stages a revival Arts & Culture Dan Kraker � Duluth �...more details »
A collection of recent and significant news articles about Sherman Associates, Sherman Associates' properties and employees.
A proposal by Sherman Associates to construct a new mixed use development on the Mississippi River will be a positive addition to the urban village planned for Saint Paul's West Side Flats. After the developer spent months working closely with the City, the West Side Community Organization, and other stakeholders to finalize the site plan, the "West Side Flats Phase 3″ project sailed through the city of St. Paul's planning commission approval process. Although there was some community debate about the height of the project, the final plan was for two five-story buildings with four stories at the rooftop deck of the building closest to the river, and six-story pop-ups on the corners of the building on Fillmore Avenue. This building configuration fulfills an important requirement of the West Side Flats Master Plan that building height should tier away from the river to maximize scenic views of the bluffs surrounding the flats.
The West Side Flats Phase 3 Project will bring numerous benefits to the community. The first phase of the West Side Flats, located at the southeast corner of the Wabasha Bridge, was completed a couple years ago bringing residents back to the flats for the first time in decades. Phase 3 will include 183 market rate apartments, 82 affordable housing units and 5,000 square feet of commercial space with a restaurant that opens up to the river esplanade. Phase 2 will add more commercial development, but will likely get built after Phase 3. These pioneering projects are not without risk, and Sherman Associates has been willing to move ahead with projects that are welcomed by the community.
"We've come a long way since 'The Bridges of Saint Paul' mega-development was proposed and rejected in the early 2000s," noted Whitney Clark. FMR's executive director. "FMR is excited to see positive riverfront development finally coming to the West Side Flats."
For more information, please visit the project web page.

Friday night.
I am in Bear's room.
We are sitting on the armchair by the window.
The blinds are pulled closed, and it is black outside.
We are sitting in the dark.
Bear is drinking his milk, and I am holding him.
Outside, cars keep driving by.
It's been a hot day, but a cool breeze is finally filtering in through the window.
He finishes drinking and hands me the bottle. I place it on his dresser and give him his dummy.
I put my head back and drift off to sleep.
Many moments later, I surface, and I can hear Bear chatting to himself.
"Bear, Bear," he seems to be saying.
I am spellbound. I try to encourage him to say more words, but he falls silent.
Perhaps he only speaks when he knows I'm not listening. Cheeky little monkey.
We exchange kisses. I tell him I love him. I lower him into his cot.
"Goodnight, Bear."
I walk out, and I exhale…
Could you imagine? A whole little world of his own in which he spends time listening to his own voice - sounds pretty magical <3

2009It was supposed to be a year of rest primarily focusing on generating new work to take out into the world in 2010. It was anything but! Managed to get out of town and jetted down to MAX10 in Venice Beach. Lots of happenings locally. Branched out into more experimental work. Welcomed a new company photographer, Jim Boyden. Ecstatic to revive a piece of theatrical repertoire "My Cat Thomas" with the choice find of Michaun Barner. SonneBlauma Collaborators in 2009 were: Michaun Barner, Melissa Block, Misa & Stephen Kelly, Joanna Nobbe, Monica Robles, & Jacque Wiley. New works created include Misa's two duets "Grit" & "Under No Certain Circumstances" created in collaboration with Melissa Block, Misa's solo "Ranunculus" with Erika Kloumann and Hannah Oberheimer-Smith contributing to the process, and Stephen Kelly's "Lucky Ducks." Special thanks to Roger Bradley, Cay Fitzgerald, DBA Energy Essentials, Howard Glasser, Kaita Lepore, Christopher & Michelle Kelly, Sharyn Namath, the Rudi Schulte Family Foundation & Christiane Schlumberger for their kind and generous patronage.

I have spent much of my adult life in college. I completed the traditional track, finishing my BA in History Minor in African American Ethnic Studies from Adelphi University at the age of 21. I loved Adelphi so much, that I stayed on another two years to complete my Master's in Secondary Social Studies Education in 2009. As you may or may not know, from 2009 until the present, has to be one of the worst times in history to try to land a job in the education system! So I bounced around, worked retail and a telephone sales job at a Manhattan IT school which I absolutely abhorred! So after endless resumes sent out, applications, and countless interviews. I started to search for another answer. I knew what I wanted, I want a career, I do not need to be rich but my husband and I would eventually like a family and a house one day and I would like to be able to afford both. (We are sick of paying the absolutely ridiculous rental rates in Brooklyn!) Equally important, I needed a job that would be intellectually stimulating, offer excitement, variety, and NOT be in a cubicle! I started to research which sectors of the economy were still hiring even in the recession.
A little research revealed, that the Health Care industry was one of the few sectors that had still shown significant growth in the past few years. I knew I was not ready for the seven year commitment required to complete an MD. So, I looked for another answer, I attended an information session about the Physician Assistant Program at Pace University. I was thrilled, it was a perfect fit and it would only take 27 months to complete! As I did not have any science courses yet under my belt, I did have a significant amount of prerequisites to complete before being eligible to even apply. So I came to a crossroad, I did not know what to do. I had already dedicated a significant amount of time and accrued significant student debt, that I had yet to pay, did it make sense to go back to school, for something entirely different? It was a huge dilemma for me but with the support of my husband and family, I decided to take the plunge!
I enrolled at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, mainly because of the affordable cost of the CUNY system and it is relatively close to our apartment. I was pretty terrified I had not taken any Biology or Chemistry courses in ten years….what if I was terrible at it?!?!?! I graduated with a 3.67 in my BA and 3.881 in my MA so I have always been an excellent student, but would I have the same success in science???? So it was with equal parts trepidation and excitement, that I found myself sitting in my first class at Medgar Evers College: Anatomy and Physiology, Part I. To my delight, I loved all my courses! It was A LOT of work but I was earning good grades! On a side note, I cannot more enthusiastically endorse Medgar Evers College, my experiences there have been absolutely amazing! All of my professors have been Ph.Ds and really know their topic area. Equally important, they always have an office door open for extra help and questions. I have also made some amazing new friends. If considering CUNY, please look into Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, you will not be disappointed, I can promise you that! At a total cost of $5000.00 per a year, you simply cannot go wrong!
The irony here is that all through high school if anyone asked, my career goals, I told them I was going to become a pediatrician! So it's almost as if I have come full circle. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times: "Life makes its' own plans…you never know how things will turn out!" I am optimistic though. My only worry now, is that I will complete all my prerequisites and not get into any programs! I have almost a 3.8 (all As but one C in a summer chemistry course is killing me!) If God forbid, I do not get in anywhere, these past two years will basically be for naught! So please, keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
So, now on to the second point of this post, my thoughts on succeeding in college. I was prompted to write this post after something my professor said in my Anatomy and Physiology course this past term. I had done really well on a test, that a majority of the class had failed, so to my embarrassment (I blush a bright red very easily!), Dr. Stoddart announced to the class: "study with Kirsten!" So, after class, another student came up to me and asked me how I studied and what advice I could offer. I looked at her and said verbatim "I read the book." That is the key, there are no gimmicks to earning good grades, just read your textbook! I was, and still am shocked, at the number of college students who do not read the textbook for the course! I know texts are ridiculously expensive, especially for the sciences, but every college library has all the textbooks on reserve for students, so, there are no excuses! The other key, is do not attempt to study the night before the exam! College work requires constant effort, reading, notes, and practice problems! I have found the rule for every hour of class, you should be putting in about 2.5 hours of reading at home! Ideally, the night before an exam should be spent on a short review, a good dinner, and most importantly, a full night's sleep! That's it, the key to good grades, it is as simple at that!!!
I have found I have difficulty getting studying done in my apartment. Between my hubby, TV, and housework there's just way too many distractions! I have to place myself into an environment where there is absolutely nothing else I could be doing, except eating books! For me, this is the library, find a place that works for you!. I have also found that I must listen to either classical music or instrumental jazz like Miles Davis or Charles Mingus to really concentrate. Flashcards have also been immeasurably helpful to me, as a commuter on the NYC Public Transit System, whether waiting on the train or bus, or sitting on one of the two, I always have time to study my flashcards. I usually make them myself, but for Anatomy and Physiology, I finally broke down and purchased a set last term from Barnes and Noble. There are from Mosebly and I have found them to be extremely useful. The only complaint I have is that they do not list functions, so I have taken to writing directly on the cards themselves. They were about $30.00 and well worth it! Find something that works for you. What study tools have been worthwhile for you?
Can anyone relate to my story? What study tips can you offer?
Best of luck and Happy Studying!!! 🙂
