Can anyone help find that blasted sys file "PxHelp20.sys"? I tried look all over the internet but I couldn't find it anywhere, it also mentions on my Device Manage that the file isn't signed. The computer does acknowledge my CD Drive but I cannot read any of my CDs that I use my computer. I think I new a driver but does anyone know wher eI can find drivers for a SAMSUNG SN 124 CD Rom drive?

Hey guys- My folks want need to buy a new computer, and they are eying either a Toshiba C655D S5120, or a HP G72 B66US laptop.

Which would you guys say is better?

The HP has more HD space, but that is insignificant if the rest isnt up to par.

They both suck. Get something with a video card. That is unless you don't like playing video games at all.

Not for me, I have myself a laptop. My parents PC is old and dying fast. There are two sales at Staples, and they want to choose between one of those two. (for themselves)

Can't you boot up in safe mode?

Whenever [parasitic bomb] like that happens I just reformat.

Never Mind my problem, because when i turn on the desktop at this time, the desktop is not black screen anymore

So i think the desktop was lagging when i logged on and i was abit impatient to see if that was the problem in the first place.

Because I wont make a new thread over something this trivial, but I want to know...

Where did the avatar box on the top let corner of the page go? It used to show your avatar. Now its just the navigation bar thing.

It just disappeared all of a sudden a day or so ago.

There's a small plus button in the top right corner, right below the RPM logo.

Hit that

My MP3 is frozen at the screen, do you think I need to give a rest? Or it is something else?

But where is the battery?

I guess I didn't elaborate at the time of posting, my MP3 worked just fine not too long ago until the evening after I charged the player. I tried to turn it on but it stays at the "Hello" screen but it doesn't go to the screen where all the options are like it usually does. I like to think I needed to give it break for awhile and resetting it doesn't it help matters I don't know if it is the files I downloaded or maybe it burned out but it is not working now. Maybe I screwed up the chips or something?

Try checking the booklet that came with it. Usually it's pretty obvious, sometimes sealed with a screw. If all else fails, google it.

It could very well be burned out or damaged form an impact or short. If the battery pull doesn't fix anything, consider getting it fixed, or replaced.

Sometimes MP3 players have a reset button. Try hitting that.

Let's start with the most obvious question.

What kind of MP3 player?

Have you done all the other stuff mentioned already? Namely popping the batteries out? I know you said you already did a manual reset and that didn't help, so.

Assuming a battery pop doesn't work, you may want to consider formatting it. I'm assuming you have all the stuff on the player backed up somewhere. If that doesn't work, Visual Land offers online support via an email form.

Try letting the battery run dry, so it turns off. then connect it to the charger and turn it on, see what happens. thats happened to me with another mp3 before.

Ok guys, I need some serious help with my laptop.

Since yesterday at night it hasn't been able to boot up. I turn it on, all the usual lights turn on, the fan starts moving, but one second later it stops gets way quieter than usual and the monitor doesn't even turn on. It started yesterday after I left it on sleep mode for a while, when I wanted to turn it on again what I just described happened. I tried turning it off myself with the power button and then turn it on, I let it rest for hours since something similar happens when it heats up quite a bit (first an hour, and then all night), I tried taking out the battery, I tried letting the battery run out by itself to see if it did anything, but nothing I did helped even a little =/

Seriously guys, I really need help with this ASAP since I have a project there to finish x____x


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

I remember when something similar to that happened, one of the RAM sticks had to come out to boot.
