Solve : Folder "My Computer" wont load? |
|
Answer» Whenever I goto "My Computer" it has the little flash light icon looking for files. But it never finds anything. I left my computer on overnight hoping that it would show in the morning and it was still looking. Is there any way I can fix this?Need...more...info...gasp No virus or spyware protection. Definitely a bad idea... AVG Free AdAware SpyBot AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido) CCleaner As the above are all Free there are no longer any excuses... As to the My Computer issue go to Start / Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...have your XP CD handy...whenever i type sfc, the cmd window pops up for LESS than a second and goes away.. nothing happens.He wants you to type in the whole "sfc /scannow" in the command line, including the space.You may need to open a Command Prompt screen first and then type in sfc /scannow. That method avoids the quick disappearance. OK Start / Run type in cmd and hit Enter... at the prompt type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...I had this happen after a loss of power - TOOK out one of my hard drives. This caused the overall system to slow down and My Computer took forever to appear. Try looking in your BIOS (usually DEL or F2 at bootup) configuration to see if it recognizes all drives connected, if not you may want to try reconnecting the missing device or try another cable if you have one. Might try also to boot only with the OS hard drive plugged in and then verify if My computer acts any better. If so, your system is having trouble SEEING the disconnected drive. I have also seen specific ports fail on the motherboard (specifically after a power loss), might be worth trying each one at a time to see if problem goes away or not. Hope that helps Quote I had this happen after a loss of power - took out one of my hard drives. This caused the overall system to slow down and My Computer took forever to appear. Yes, it´s possible that this evil can be made cause the BIOS. One time it matters to me with a little cut of electric energy. In this case, nor F2 nor DEL enable me to go into my BIOS, and the screen showed a error messaje that " don´t find NTRL" (a lot of explanation, yeah!). I might to get my other PC and go to the big NET for information. And I read a lot of pages about NTRL, and afterwards the best solution, get out the BIOS battery, count from 0 to 10, and get in the BIOS battery, and the error and problems dissapeared. Try this if you can´t go into the BIOS settings and if not possible or don´t know how, open your PC and get out the battery for ten seconds, put it into again and try to start and test the My PC search. Greetings. HARLEQUIN. And now we have gone from bad to worse......taking out the battery is the same thing as loading defaults in the bios, except for the fact that taking out the battery resets the system time. It's ment for situations where your system doesn't even make it past the self-check stage (the beep UPON start-up, right before the bios options) so you can't even get a chance to get into the bios. A lot of the time if you can't even do that, one of your big 3 (RAM, Motherboard, Processor) is already fried. Overclocking is a terrible thing ... at least if you've got a newbie sticker beside your name like i do P.S. Most manuals etc will recomend you take out the battery for literally hours, but really the ammount of time you need is closer to 5 to 10 seconds (I'd recommend 30 seconds to be on the idiot-proof design side).And now from bad to worse to overclocking.... pt, Harlequin and lasherz let's keep the diagnosis at a realistic level and move step by step. |
