Every time I left my pc on standby mode, it crashes and needs to be turned on again to continue using it. The first thing I will do after I woke up is to turn it on then check my emails. After checking them all, I will head to the kitchen for breakfast then when I go back to my pc and it’s always off.

It’s very inconvenient always to always turn it on especially when I’m in a hurry.

Here are the specs:

• Acer Aspire
• Intel Pentium Dual Core
• 500 GB HDD
• 2 GB DDR3 Memory
• Windows 7 Starter

My computer was recently attached by a virus that destructs my system, so I decided to reformat for me to start anew.

Everything else is going great except for one. My sound system does not work.

I am using a Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine and a Realtek device.

I do not know if I missed anything right after the reformat, but I am sure that the Realtek Audio driver was installed already.

I have checked the Device Manager, and it shows that my Audio device is working properly, but when I clicked on the volume control, it is grayed out.

Checked the...

I changed my admin password because a lot of people are using my pc. Unfortunately, I forgot what it was and now I cannot access my desktop. I have a lot of important files in there.

Windows 7 is my OS and Acer is the brand of my pc. Now I’m regretting that I changed it. My pc is useless at the moment. I hope there is somebody there who can help me. I tried entering the password a couple of times and I’m locked out.

Can system restore possibly fix this?

I doubt it and never tried it before.

I lost my internet connection on my other computer. It only lets me access internet, if I boot to safe mode.

My security software is turned on, so I don’t think it’s because of a virus or Malware. It is one of those old Dell Optiplex systems and not under warranty anymore.  So I cannot get support from their tech support without paying a fee for support.

What else can I do, aside from system restore and OS reinstallation? I don’t have the OS CD anymore at hand.

Please help me if you can. Thank you so much in advance.

There are lots of files that I do not need on my pc.

I decided to do a pc restore to factory defaults after backing up my important files.

Now, I’m getting a message that says “BootMGR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart” whenever I turn it on.

It seems that I messed up with the settings.

I tried to do a startup repair but it’s asking for the HDD’s disc.

It is a Dell OptiPlex 380 Desktop and has Windows Vista Operating System. I should have not touched it.

Any solution you may have is very much appreciated.

I attached a screenshot for reference.

I replaced my hard drive because the old one is already defective. There are lots of pictures and videos that I wanted to recover from that hard drive.

I don’t know how to do it. It was the Seagate 500GB SATA. When I tried to use it, it doesn’t boot to windows. It just says hard drive failed. I hope I can recover those files using my new hard drive that is currently working.

I’ve done research on the internet but I can’t find anything.

Hello,

I have NERO burner cd and i burn some music videos and save it onto a DVD tape. The process were completed but when i inserted to the DVD player the one burned from the computer, It says "Unsupport format" "Invalid Key" when i press play button.

The right click of my mouse is not working. My friend is the last one to use my personal computer at home. I did not take it as a joke when he told me that he'll play along with my PC and I have to resolve the issue myself. I guess I am challenged so I tried to check the mouse settings, however, all are in place.

Bad timing, I was so lazy enough to search this on the internet. Rather, I just want to wait for someone who will provide me the answer and then I'll try if this will...
