I had the same problem and it seems to be associated with Acronis TI 11. I
uninstalled Acronis TI 11 and then ran a program called "Registry Mechanic"
and it fixed the problem. Apparently there are a number of programs that
will fix this. Such as "Regisrty Fix", Registry Mechanic" and "Registry
Easy" to name a few. Hope this helps.

|

Did you ever get your keyboard straightened out. I just reinstalled IE7 for
the second time and am ready to uinstall it again if I cant get the keyboard
dropped letter thing straightened out. It is totally frustrating when you
know you hit the right keys but letters are missing. Thought since my first
try with IE7 was a good 6months ago they would have had it correctd by now.
I also lost most of my automatic fill on forms o dont think IE7 is going to
be on my machine much longer.

found again in plug n play but that dont help. Hope someone can help? Or
maybe I just got 2 bad keyboards, should I buy another?.

Sorry, I guess I jumped the gun. As sson as reinstalled Acronis the problem
came back. The problem started after I did a back up and recovery with
Acronis TI 11. I uninstalled TI 11 and used one of the registry fix programs
and the problem seemed to be gone. I reinstalled Acronis 10, which I never
had a problem with, and the problem reappeared.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.
You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.
HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us
Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)
A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

You can do some of your own testing.
1) memtest86+ from memtest.org
can be used to test the memory.
You prepare a boot floppy or a boot CD, with memtest86+ on it,
then boot the computer with the freshly prepared media. Run
for two complete passes. If memory errors are seen, then adjust
memory timings or voltage, and if that doesn't work, try replacing
the memory as a last resort.
2) Orthos from http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm
is a tool you run while in Windows. You'd already tested the memory in
step one. Orthos tests CPU, memory, and Northbridge. It puts a good
test load on the CPU, and can highlight weakness. If the system crashes
instantly, it could be a motherboard problem, for example.
3) 3DMark from http://www.majorgeeks.com/3Dmark_d99.html
can be used to test that the 3D functions of the video are working.
If the computer freezes only while using 3DMark, but not while
Orthos is running, then suspect the video card may be involved
(or the motherboard interface to the video card).
4) For your hard drive, various disk drive manufacturers have
diagnostic programs available for download. You boot with the
diagnostic program, and the test will tell you if there is a
problem with the disk.
A lot of problems on computers, are caused by bad power supplies.
But to investigate that aspect, you'd either need to use a program
like Speedfan ( http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php ) or use the
utility that came with your motherboard, to check the power supply
voltages. If the voltages are off by more than 5%, you check them
further with a multimeter. Some amount of understanding of
electronics is needed to make the measurements, and at that
point, you might want to seek the assistance of a computer
shop. If the power supply is making any strange noises or
there is a burning smell, or the fan no longer spins proper,
you could just try a replacement ATX power supply.

Same here but no resolution. Had Vista on this PC and it would install the

installed XP but it is still the same, my guess is that it is a USB chipset
issue. Gonna install a S=USB PCI Card and try that. Keep you posted...

What option to you have as to set the "default" for the playback

be the setting needed.

I see similar symptoms---just do it twice. The first time it won't work
because the drive is spinning. The first attempt will turn off the motor. On
the second attempt, you can safely remove.
Mine usually actualy works first time ofthe drive motor has alreadt "gone
to sleep"-but if not, then just do the Safely Remove procedure twice

Sorry haven't posted here before, but i am having the same trouble cant do
anything with DVD+ or - RW disks two burning programs dont recognise them and
Adobe Premiere Elemnts falls over when it tries to write to disk.
I also use NAV2007 an Asus 1814BL ide drive and thought as it also failed in
safe mode I installed a SATA Asus 2014L1T drive same problem.
Maybe I should uninstall NAV - this is a major issue and someone needs to
help solve it. There are heaps of peoeple probably suffering and think their
DVD drive is faulty and just use DVD R disks which work fine.
I look forward to feedback.
