try and install the raw file again, or maybe latest version of most of your software.if it occurs, then it may be that a virus has corrupted your files.some virus can not be detected by some antivirus.did you try to open other softwares to see if they are working also.

I have done that yet same problem keeps reoccurring. my safari and opera browsers are still opening. I am just scared that if the problem persist it may affect other programs on the system. I really want to fix it before it does more damage.

I have tried to restore my system to an earlier date, but i was not successful with that.

I tried using the method attached below , but I got to a stage I couldn't proceed because I couldn't find the next step.

Please what's the way out?

Yeah it should be powerful enough but if you plan to do multitasking with it I'd advice you to upgrade the ram to 8gb.

Thank you very much.

then your system may be infected with virus that is eating the programs little by little.this kind of stuff happened to me when i used my external hard drive to install softwares for some one not knowing the system has a very bad virus that currupt my drive and system.none of my tools was installing, could not open any of my program, they show stuff like yours.so i had to wipe the system like over 5 times due to avoiding too much loss of tools on my external disk.scanned the drive with avast but did not detect most of them but when i used a simple free antivirus called smadav, i got rid of them and lost some tools.your best shot is to format the system because scanning it may not resolve it all since some virus have a way of hiding some where unnoticed.

Hello guys, my cd drive is nt working.. nt even showing in the Computer folder.. i checked d hardware its like having a probz.. hw can i fix it.. plss.. every reply counts..

Verify that the device is visible in the BIOS, and showing up without problem in Device Manager (No question mark, exclamation mark or downward pointing arrow). If everything looks fine, then it is probably just a case of a missing drive letter/path. Try the following.

Press Windows key + R > Type diskmgmt.msc in the search box and enter > In the window that appears, locate the device, right click on it and choose "change drive letter and paths" > Click add, select a drive letter and click OK.

I hope this helps.

On everygame, there will be REQUIREMENTS. Compare the Game requirement with your PC. if they match then you are good to download.
Drop your Pc specs.

@omega: i've tried it but no difference
For those using zain to surf now, i have a question.
How do your thumbnail images show on your web browser, internet explorer or firefox? Do they appear blurred? Example of a site would be facebook. Do people's pictures there appear ok or distorted?
I have been having that problem since yesterday. All i could think of was that maybe zain are using some form of web accelerator that compresses images to improve faster browsing, hence the speed we are all experiencing.
I'm yet to try my mtn connection to see if thats where the problem is from.
Any comments? Suggestions?




Are you still having issues...?

Mother board? My suspicion all along. How much is that going to cost me. Is it worth trying to repair it or better to get a new laptop all together.

I've got a Samsung np300e5c-a07us experiencing screen problems. The display freezes and moves up then down within 3 seconds continually. I suspect it's a screen problem. Am I right? And if I am, how much do you guys reckon it will cost to fix it?

Hmmm. Try the following.

1. Temporarily disable your anti-virus protection and see if the problem persists. If yes, try no. 2.

2. Since system restore didn't work for you, I suggest that you manually undo all recent system changes prior to when you first encountered the problem. Disable windows update services first before uninstalling recently installed updates.

3. As a last resort, re-install Windows.
