Hello thorough reader, I did solve this problem eventually by running a system restore from the Dell utility. Don't confuse with system reset, it also formats your HDD and reinstalls Windows, but when it's finished, Windows still finds itself unable to activate. You are looking for recovery...

I'm in the middle of nowhere, there's only my laptop here and everything that's on its hard drive. Got one spare USB flash stick though, for 16 GB. No installation DVDs and probably no way to get them. Descent internet connection, but hard to download anything above hundred megs. Can i do what...

Hi all, I'm sorry, i know this has been probably discussed a thousand times, but i already spent two hours googling through various forums with a lot of descriptions and nobody getting to the point, and my head is just spinning. So if the moderator will just kindly refer me to the respective...

Crap, it's back. Classic Shell didn't help.

Hey, i think i've solved it. I've been googling for solutions for hours, tried nearly everything. Tried unchecking the "launch in a separate process" checkbox — was unchecked already, didn't help. Tried removing almost all software (even uninstalled K-lite pack, only an old version of Winamp...

Crawfish, I've scrolled through your post the last time quickly picking the tops. Sorry bout that. You've mentioned disabling background file scanning of Windows. How do you do that? And, to be sure, by nuking the My Music folder you mean just stop using it, moving the files anywhere else...

Hi! I'm running a Windows 8.0 which came installed on my Dell laptop as i bought it. There's plenty of mp3 albums on my hard-drive (a sole hard-drive with just one partition for everything). I keep them all in the My Music folder, and shuffle them frequently: change names of folders, move...

Hi. I changed "automatic" startup type to "disabled" and then back for the following services: Superfetch COM+ Event System Realtek Audio Service Cyberlink RichVideo Service(CRVS) AtherosSvc Didn't check them one by one though. Switched it back in a bulk.

Hi Popeye, No, it did not. Your response though made me remember that few days ago i switched off some background services in an attempt to reduce strange HDD activity that keeps the computer busy for minutes after each boot up. Now that i turned those services back on, the card reader is...

Hi all, I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 8 which it came with from Walmart. I'm using a micro SD card with my music player. And i'm repeatedly inserting it into the SD slot just below the touchpad of the laptop, with an adapter. I'm updating files on that card, and so far the file browser...
