hi,you could try this one
http://www.recuva.com/

just found this link might help.
http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/digitalwaveplayer.zip

I installed on my machine and it seems to want to work to transfer audio file from a external device ,but i don't have one !lol ,

Downloads Available:
This is download link !!!1Digital Wave Player Update 2.1.4!!!!!!!!!

This download updates the Digital Wave Player software bundled with Olympus VN-*PC series digital voice recorders from version 2.1.1 to 2.1.4. It enables Digital Wave Player versions 2.0 and later to run on Windows Vista systems, including those that use AMD Turion(TM) or Intel Core2 Duo processors. It also resolves the issue of sorting audio files by date on the VN-2100PC and VN-3100PC digital voice recorders. This download contains only an update program. The full application must be installed prior to running the update. The CD-ROM for Digital Wave Player is available on the Olympus Store.

the above link worked for me ,it was a zip file with 7 file in it ,the first one was english verson ,it would not install because i don't have the player you have!!

edit sorry i reread and its a update to the software bundled with the player

you should do what godsp3ed suggested in post #4

:S I don't understand you at 100%, sorry, can you re-write the question for a newbie in english? =) please

sorry ,cant ask any simpler ,doesn't matter anyway, I cant find them anywhere on the net !sorry

You can try this
> Press F5 > Hit Last known good configuration.
I think this will help.
Or try going to BIOS and Optimized Defaults. and Restart.

quoter from first post !
started it went to safe mode, start windows normally, and etc. So i tried them all ,but !

How about flashing BIOS or repairing winxp?

would not suggest a flash,
right click on mycomputer go to properties ,/hardware/device manager ,check in system devices ,make sure there are no! or red X on pci bus ,if yes you could try reinstalling motherboard chipset drivers !
maybe the board is getting bad ,

and i accodently took out the computers cable

by cable do you mean the electrical cord !
if so it meant the computer shut down without saving settings ,I have successfully fixed this problem many times by booting to a windows xp cd and choosing "R" for recovery consul, and in there at the prompt type in CHKDSK /F , it F does nothing try it with /R

maybe a better word is ,disabled ,and this may not even be possible in your bios,
BIOS Settings - PCI / PnP Configuration is the section in the bios where you will find the settings to check

so,hows the computer working now

e "chassis intruded" message. .

did you close up the case yet ,should be that all it is ,

The new avg (8.5) has most of this, but it has slown my computer down enormously.

[little off-topic]
Anyone else have this issue or is it just time to format my HD (again)?

that why people are switching to avast and avira ,any all inone security will slow things down ,as it working harder ,sort of!

Maybe, do you can give me the inks? I will simply install it. I can't loose anything, right?

maybe ,maybe what !!
,but you never answered my questions in the last post ,so i don't know what to tell you, sorry

I would like you to do the following:
Download ComboFix
Click on the Save button and then when it asks you where to save it, make sure you save it directly to your Windows Desktop.
Once the download is complete you will see the Combofix on the desktop.
*Close all open Windows including this one.
* Close or disable all running Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewall programs as they may interfere with the proper running of ComboFix.
Doubleclick the combofix icon on the desktop to run the program.

Windows will issue a prompt asking whether you wish to run the program, click Run
You will then see a Disclaimer screen asking you to agree to the disclaimer. Press the number 1 key to accept the disclaimer.
Now just sit back and allow the program to run
Please note, that once you start ComboFix you should not click anywhere on the ComboFix window as it can cause the program to stall. In fact, when ComboFix is running, do not touch your computer at all and just take a break as it may take a while for it to complete.

When ComboFix has finished running, you will see a screen stating that it is preparing the log report.This can take a while, so please be patient. If you see your Windows desktop disappear, do not worry. This is normal and ComboFix will restore your desktop before it is finished. Eventually …

hi i don't use msn ,but you could have at least posted what the problem was ,and maybe someone would have made some suggestions

if you want better coverage [and be tormented with popups are you sure you want to do this or that or both ]you will need to buy one in my opinion, if you want one that offers this all in one program ,anti virus, real time spyware and adware protection, personal firewall

Hi all! anyone that can help me please do so. PLEASE. i keep getting pop ups that say my computer is infected with the win 32 /nugel.e and bankerfox viruses. I am having one heck of a time getting rid of this thing.

it must be saying hit f1 or del to enter setup[bios] when you get these error . if so do it and when in the bios set it to bios defaults ,then save changes and exit ,should help a lot .for some stuff that the builder added you may need to make customize changes to the bios yourself [or someone who know what changes to make ,Remember I'm just guessing at most of this as like Rik from RCE says ,we will need more info to be exact

no, you need to change the jumpers, read the manual, look it up in the internet depending on the model, pin 1 and 2 is normal, pin 2 and 3 is or reset. that is resetting the cmos most of the time is j1. By the way the way to do it is to put the jumper on 2 and 3 for 20 seconds, then put back again on 1 and 2. with the power off completely, unplugged.

removing the bios[motherboard] battery will achieve the same thing

Now I need screen drivers for my PC, because without them I can't play online xD.

lets start over ,by screen drivers do you mean Video device drivers ,do you have onboard video device or a addin pci-e video card install in the computer

Ooh sure, sure, my PC's brand is MicroStar, I said it in the title of the thread.

yeah they make motherboards ,never see a computer made by them ,its what would be considered a generic computer ,well sorry i can't find any reference to the model of your board anywhere

Before you do anything else, try system restore, always works for me.

a bit of over kill for such a minor problem

While i do use IE8 and hotmail ,i do not use live mail or messenger .
check IE ,tools ,internet options /privacy , look down the bottom ,make sure "do not collect data for inprivate filtering " is not checked off ,this is a feature for using IE on a computer in public places like cafe or library's

remove all ram sticks and boot computer ,what happens ,if ram is the problem it should not shut down but stay on and make beeping sound !
Sound like CPU or Power supply could be over heating ,make sure all fans are free of dust !,

just double click on the area above the ,image name --pid --user name--- it will open the tool bar

chkdsk /p ,does not correct errors with out the /R .!
It only checks the drive , if you try to do a chkdsk [with no Parameters ]and get message disk does not need to be checked ,adding the /P will force chkdsk to run !

chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]

Parameters

none

Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of the disk in the current drive.

drive:

Specifies the drive that you want chkdsk to check.

/p

Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter does not make any changes to the drive.

/r

Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Implies /p.

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true

change this one"chkdsk /r /f --parameter not valid" to "chkdsk /p/f" see what it gives ,

what about IE8,does it do the same using it !

hi, if it under warranty then return it or at least contact HP for troubleshooting help .

try removing the battery and just use the power plug.
dose it sound like its boot ,just not showing anything on the screen ,if so hook it to a regular computer monitor

what is the brand name?

I'm sorry Brand name like Compaq,Dell HP,Acer ,just to name a few

Hi,i don't know of any software to check hardware but I'm sure there is some out there somewhere .
Maybe the pci slots got turned off, or change in the bios setup

The current PSU is a 160W Dell Model # PS-5161-1D1; like I said I don't believe this is the one that came with the machine. Hope this helps.

the 4 pin plug is referred as the P4 plug and it needs to be plugged into the board or it will not boot,fans will run but that's it .
I buy and sell computers get most of them from this site ,I have owned a lot of this type of computer ,the psu in yours looks like the right one ,may not be original!
I live in Canada ,you can get the whole desktop unit for 68.00 + shipping .

hi ,welcome to daniweb .lets start with finding a name and model # for the motheboard in you comp.
start with this program install it and go to mainboard section to get info ,post it back here .download cpu-z here

I followed all the steps in the previous posts on how to fix prob. 19 in relation to my CD however my DVD burner still will not function even though the device mgr. says it is working properly. Is there another registry fix for the DVD?

hi, by following suggest in previous post ,I assume you mean you searched registry and removed upper and power filters if they existed ,correct!

I've tried the memory in another machine and it works flawlessly.
.

this would lead me to believe it is not a ECC issues ,unless other computer was a server or workstation ![my dell workstation take ecc memory ]

I doubt it. But, as they say, the hangman's noose focuses the attention most marvelously. My hangman was a system with a mobo with on board video and an AGP upgrade, the noose was the BIOS behavior after the system upgrade.

I've found an ATI instruction for install of a Radeon in a system with on board video.

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-20869HowtoInstallanATIRadeonGraphicsCardinaSystemwithOnboardVideo.aspx

It's pretty clear that the on board video has to be disabled for the add on to work. This implies that anything that happens during subsequent system upgrades, etc., that causes the BIOS to revert to a state in which the on-board graphic is not disabled - including the oft recommended reset of the CMOS - will leave the system unable to complet POST or boot, and with a blank black screen.

This is because the BIOS and boot process will attempt to use the on board graphic processor, and ignore the add on card processor, to which the monitor is connected. Since there is no connection to a monitor boot processes (lacking the "beep" code) will be unable to report BIOS conditions, and will not complete boot.

Based on my experience in this case I would suggest that the add on card be disabled, and the on board video re enabled, before upgrades to systems with on-board video that has been disabled in favor of an add on card. Once the BIOS has incorporated the system change information resulting from the upgrade, then the add on graphics card …

I've tried the memory in another machine and it works flawlessly.
Both the clock and data transfer speeds are the same on the old and new memory. I'll try updating the bios first to see if it helps. If not i'll have to get a new board.

did you try ram 1 gig at a time,as suggested above

Hmmmm... If the AGP card requires drivers to support the monitor/video during post, I'm a monkey's uncle. I suspect it only has to be recognized by the BIOS as a video device. It's not clear to me why, if it was not being recognized, simply moving the connection to the on-board graphics controller, which I did try, would not have been sufficient, unless it was essential to reset the CMOS before the machine would attempt to use the on-board GC. When I pulled the board *and* reset the BIOS the monitor worked for POST, boot completed, and I was able to enter BIOS to verify settings and the Dell diagnostics to verify my upgrades.

(I pulled the add on board, did yet another reset of the BIOS, and relocated the monitor connector to the on board GC at the same time, because it was 3 AM and I was impatient with iterative problem solving routine.)

I will have to to put that AGP card back in and move the video/monitor connection to it instead of to the on-board graphics processor the machine is now using. I remember enough of the original install to know it's non-trivial, and involves more than letting PnP discover a new hardware device (for instance: disabling the on-board graphics processor in BIOS?). So far I have not found the box or documentation for that 3-4 year old card, and will do a web search for those instructions and software.

sorry i missed it in your first …

I didn't know that I had to re-install my video drivers after installing service packs. I have all the original software for my system.

i assumed you must had reinstalled windows ,because you were installing all 3 sp's ,sorry

It turns out that one of the sticks of RAM was bad, causing all the problems. Thanks to ALL who worked with me and helped me greatly on this issue !!!!!!!!!!!

nice to see you got it sorted out ,Bad Ram ,happens a lot

Hi everyone

Would you please let me know what has happened to my mother board?

Hi ,welcome , a spider go in a made a web !
No,Really tho how would anyone but you know what happened to your motherboard !
Seriously now ,did you get a power serge ,lightening storm lately perhaps
did you try removing the card and reinstall them ,making a new clean connection and see if windows see the cards

Okay, the drive is SATA. Can you explain further about installing SATA drivers and what F6 does and how this might affect instaling XP or 2000 . . . but in basic language. I realize doing this how little I know these days about computers. So little.

ok i'll try , there are no sata drivers on the winxp/2000 disk ,there for you would need the correct drivers on a floppy disk ,as that is the only disk winxp will search and look for ,will not work with a thumbdrive or any other usb device ,,so with the drivers on a floppy disk and in the floppy drive ,when you start the window install you will see[along the bottom blue bar] hit F6 to install other drivers scsi and sata [something like that .]so if you laptop does not have a floppy drive ,new ones don't, you will need to use a program like Nlite to slipstream the correct drivers into a copy of winxp ,YOU will need to created this new copy using Nlite !not complicated ,reallyi can do it !lol
!see instructions and download Nlite if you so wish !

but I do not know why they say to make the recovery disks as a first step on initial startup. I also don't know why they fill 4 [FOUR!!] dvds....

I have 2 ,one old one new Compaq/HP[my daughters actually] Laptops , I had to Make recovery DVD's with both as none came with the laptop .they took 2 dvd's not 4,Staples and BestBuy and other large ripoff retailers charge an extra 100 dollars to do this .local shop where i hang out a bit charges 50 dollars to make the recovery's laptops they sell mostly Acer's r!

note: they can be made at any time as long as the laptop is working correctly ,usually a link to recover disk manager in start menu or control panel

I tried installing 2000 Pro but it didn't recognise any hard drives.

laptop likely has a SATA Harddrive ,not a IDE ,there you would need to install sata drivers ,that the hit F6 to install sata/scsi drivers when you first start the windows install same in winxp as win 2000 ,that is unless the correct sata drivers have been slipstreamed into the windows disk by you or someone else .,you would need a floppy drive in the laptop to do this ,and I say get the correct Vista DVD's and enjoy Vista !

remove -reinstall ram ,make sure you plugged the P4 plug back in if you removed power supply ,that the square 4 pin plug ,
what did you use to clean it
