I have bought an Acer Aspire 4738Z recently. Every feature is working fine but experiencing a little yet annoying problem. I am using multiple USB devices and used to using the safely remove hardware icon in the taskbar to unplug any of the USB devices. But currently if I remove one of the devices then icon to remove hardware safely has disappeared magically.

I see no other options to remove the other devices. Now, how would I remove the remaining USB devices?

Can I just unplug the device, which could damage the device?

I don’t want to reboot every time to remove it.

Please give me a suggestion.

I have some important data in my old Maxtor hard disk. Recently I have tried to transfer those data to another hard disk. But in the middle of the copying process suddenly it stops. After failing for couple of times, I tested the hard drive. The test result revealed that I had a bad sector or partition need to replace that hard drive before crushing the full system. But I need to retrieve those data before dumping the drive.

My question is:

1. Is there any software available to repair the bad sector?
2. Can I still use one of the good options of that hard drive?

Please help me to get back my hidden folders. My desktop PC was attacked by a spyware which was running on Windows XP, and I was able to remove the virus by installing the free version of Avast antivirus.

Every installed program is running well, but the folder option from tools menu has vanished.

Now I can’t access my hidden folders in drive C. The only way I know to get back the folder option is by reinstalling the operation system.

If I do reinstall the OS then I must loose the hidden folders.

So, I can’t do that. Do you know any other way to retrieve my hidden folders?

But these days I am getting too much spam mail, at least 10-20 emails per day which is very annoying. The emails contain adults substance too which I hate too much. I have to delete the junk emails daily.

Hi,

I am using a very old model monitor Samsung SyncMaster CDP 1751. It is my first monitor that I have bought with my own money. So I don’t to dump this monitor very easily. It was ok until last month.

But currently the monitor buttons stop working and I can’t change the brightness or sharpness.

When I press the button then a message appears on the window telling me that it is locked.

Control Lock

But I have never locked it.

There is also another option to unlock it, but I don’t know how to unlock it as no buttons work.

I am enjoying TV in my desktop pc by using an internal AverMedia TV tuner card. Last night while I was enjoying a sports event suddenly my pc shut down automatically. Immediately after that I have checked the power supply and other hardware and found nothing unusual. After then I have started the pc again and try to run the TV tuner software. But very sadly I am not getting the normal service and it shows that no TV tuner drive found. I have tried by uninstall/reinstall the software and also tried by placing the hardware into different slot of motherboard, but getting the same issue. Please help me.

A few weeks ago, my uncle who lives in China gave me a present of a Compaq laptop that had Windows 7 already installed. The Windows had very high quality graphics at first.

However, after a few days, I came to realize that Windows 7 was not as easy to navigate as Windows XP.

Then I tried to install Windows XP after formatting the drive C:. For a while it worked okay, but now I have noticed some serious problems. A blue screen has popped up that says ‘physical memory error’.

I am having two types of problem with my Kingston 16 GB flash drive:

1. When I connect my flash drive to my DELL laptop then its causing my pc to restart immediately.

2. Showing that the folders are empty but there was at least 4 GB data in my flash drive in multiple folders.

I have more then one flash drive and not having such kind problems with them. I can’t try to format the drive because many important documents left there. I don’t want to loose any of that data. Please give me a solution and don’t tell me that it has completely damaged.

I was typing on Microsoft Word when my computer suddenly shuts down. When I touch on the left side of my Toshiba Satellite laptop, near the fan, the heat is unbearable. I press the power button then it shuts down again. So I waited for a few minutes until the heat is gone, then I gently pressed the power button again.The Start up Repair window displayed on my screen with error alert box.
