Hello there,

I am a mobile/cell phone repairer and I also have to perform tasks like data uploading in mobiles etc (usually). I have installed MS XP service pack three (3) on my office/lab PC and I am having an issue with my media card reader.

The problem I have with my media card reader is that it stops working after a while and than again use to starts working again properly automatically after a minute or so. Mean, my media card reader pauses its functionality (while working) suddenly and than after some time it restarts its motion again (after getting hanged for a while).

My laptop is creating a beeping sound on the hard drive. It gets louder and louder everyday so it is kind a scary to hear. I wonder if it can be fixed by setting it to factory defaults or if the hard drive needs to be replaced.  My laptop is not under warranty anymore.

Here are the specs of my laptop:

  •     Toshiba Satellite L455
  •     Celeron 2.2 GHz
  •     15.6” LCD
  •     3GB RAM
  •     250 GB HDD

I do not think this is normal so please give me any solution. I could not find any helpful tips from my internet research. 

Thank you in advance.

I am receiving an error when I tried to open .EXE files. 

The error is: System Error

Exe file is corrupted and can’t be run. Hard drive scan required.

I then performed a full scan with my system anti virus, but found no error or signs of virus. 

After scanning, while I am on my normal window, It says that my system is still infected.

I tried to use anti malware to scan my system, It detected different infected objects that are not very familiar to me.

When the scan is done, my computer shut itself down. 

I booted from Windows Advanced Options Menu to boot safe mode.

I am trying to clean the temp folder where Smart Defragmenter stores its file. But I could not reach it.

There are 3 dots appearing on my screen. I tried to wipe them because I thought they are just dirt, but they are not.

They are appearing on every page that I go to.

They changed colors sometimes, but most of the time they are back.

I am using:

  • Acer Aspire Notebook
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
  • Win 7
  • 100 GB HDD
  • Intel Dual Core

No clue if this is a hardware problem or not. So please let me know if you know any solutions for this.

I am afraid that it will spread all throughout my LCD screen.

Thanks.

I am trying to uninstall Norton to my system to change it to a different version.

After uninstalling, I made a reboot, but this error appears.

Autochk program not found – skipping AUTOCHECK

 Autochk program not found – skipping AUTOCHECK

This is the first time I've seen this. I kept rebooting, but it keeps on relooping and I can't access my windows. My computer would not even boot to safe mode, or it did not accept the recovery disk either.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 is the one that I use in sending and receiving emails. My friend sent me an email yesterday that has an attachment that I couldn’t open.  I asked her to send it again and still not opening. It is a word file that has information about her business proposal.

I have Win 7 that has MS Office 2007 installed on it. Other emails that have an attachment are opening. That is the only attachment I could not open. I didn’t touch any settings on outlook.

I am open to any possible solutions you might have. Thank you.

Watching videos online is something that I really enjoy doing. YouTube is where I always watch most of the videos. The sad thing is that whenever I play it, the video freezes most of the time. I need to wait for it to buffer before I would be to watch the full video.

I wanted to be able to watch without waiting for it to buffer for a long time if that is possible. I don’t think there’s a problem with my PC because it’s fairly new.

Specs:

  • Intel Dual core
  • Windows 7
  • 2 GB DDR3 RAM
  • 500 GB HDD
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

If there’s someone who can help me please do. I appreciate your kindness.

I have been getting iexplorer.exe application error for a couple of days now.

It looks like something is wrong on my browser.

Is this security related error or something?

My antivirus is up to date, and I scanned my pc weekly.

I found nothing on the results.

OS: windows XP

Browser: IE 7

It connects to the internet, but most of the time I got that error.

So for now I am using Google Chrome to prevent that error from popping up on my screen.

Please give me any solutions to this problem.

Thanks.
