Is the optical drive visible in the Computer folder? When you insert a CD into the drive, do you hear it spin? Try a few other CDs.

The optical drive is visible in the computer folder. When i insert a CD into the drive, it spins for a few seconds then it stops.

Check your firewall settings. Temporarily disable your anti-virus protection and try again.

The physical drive could be faulty. If you have access to a CD lens cleaner, you can try. Else, replacing the physical drive is the solution.

1st scan the hard disk for errors..right click on c: den click properties,tools,check for errors... make sure u tick both boxes then click ok.it will tell u it has scheduled it for ur next restart.when this is done,restart ur computer and allow it run check disk
there are no files in the system, it took about 1hr for the hard disk test to run, when it got to 97%, I went out, on coming back to check it, the system has already restarted itself.

Does it mean the hard disk is intact because after when the guy has finished installing the windows 7(with some features still missing) the system was warm then he said that the system was supposed to be hotter than that meaning that the hard disk is faulty.
Thanks for the reply

Try booting up the ubuntu, shutdown properly to ensure the mount points are all properly unmounted. Then boot into windows and try running some maintainance utilities, chkdsk, defrag and windows cleanup. Reboot into windows and see if that helps.
Also, while booted in windows checkin the system properties to ensure your RAM modules are recognised and counting towards the total system RAMM. e.g. you know you have 2 sticks of 4GB RAM, but instead of seeing an 8GB total, you only see 4GB.
Lets see how far that helps.

Cheers.


Ubuntu is no longer on the system, it has been by Windows 7,i have the RAM (memory test) before installing the windows 7, I didn't see any error report
Thanks for the reply

you have a corrupt BIOS. Were you trying to update the BIOS or something related before you shut down the previous time.

I don't know your competence level. I would advise you do this. If you are competent enough to handle it.

Remove CMOS battery and after a few minutes then plugged it in back. Then connect AC power adapter and press power button.

Else send me a pm if you are in Lagos

Restart and keep pressing f8 select safe mode
You'd notice your icons would appear bigger.
Try opening the program and see if you'd get the same error.

Whilst doing that, please use Google to find out how to access msconfig
And see if the program you are trying to open is ticked, uncheck it and apply then ok.

Restart then test. If no joy use Google for system restore and restore it to when it last works.

start the system but hold on to the f8 key. select safe mode. allow it to load in safe mode. restart from safe mode.

if it doesn't load the safe mode. your operating system has issues. also make sure you disconnect all connected USB cables and remove any CD discs in your DVD tray.
