Start up & shut down Too slow! – Before startup: Disconnect USB devices, eject CD/DVDs first – Before shut down: Close all active programs, disconnect USB devices, CD/DVDs – Tune up Windows (remove malware, un-needed programs; run scandisk (chkdsk), defrag….) Cannot Shut Down/Restart – See above, if all else fails, then Hold Down the power button, till it powers off – Tune up windows Cannot start: - the screen is black, no power in? – Desktop: Check power cord, I/0 switch at the back (wait for an hour or so, if overheated) – Laptop: take the battery out, plug in the power cord; repeat My CD-DVD won’t reject! – Right click the CD-drive, select eject won’t work either! • If you are burning a CD/DVD, then you must wait till it automatically reject • If the burning process is crashed/frozen, then, try ctrl-alt-del, highlight the CD-burning program, and end it • IF ALL ELSE FAILS: Re-start PC (might have to manually power it off), at booting up, BEFORE booting to Windows, press the CD-ROM’s eject button, take out the CD quickly Windows Media Player has no sound: • Check Speaker connection/connector; power, volume • Open various other music players, e.g., RealPlayer, QuickTime, and make sure all the volume is NOT “Muted" Lost Broadband Internet connection 1. Right-click the “Internet Network Connection” icon in the SysTray (- right-bottom corner of Windows Taskbar), click “Repair” or “Diagnose and Repair”, or 2. Click Start/Run/cmd; type ipconfig /release all; ipconfig /renew all 3. In Win ME, Start/Run/winipcfg 4. Restart PC 5. If all else fails, try the following: • Disconnect the power cord of the cable, or DSL Modem (- remove battery pack, if there is any), wait for 1 to 1 min • Plug back in the power cord, wait for 1 to 2 min. See if that works. • If you have also a “Wireless Router”, remove its power cord, too, along with power cord of the cable/DSL modem. Wait for 1 to 2 min, plug back the cable/DSL modem first, wait for 1-2 min; then plug back the power cord of the Wireless Router, wait for 1-2 min. • Cross your fingers (both hands). If that does not work, reboot pc. • If it is still NOT working, then repeat the power cord disconnect ritual • Anything more serious: – Download “XPTCPRep.exe” to repair the TCP/IP which can be downloaded/installed Lost dial-up internet connection 1. Try restart PC 2. Try use system restore to go back to an earlier date 3. Check modem status • Control Panel: Phones and modems options • Click the modem tab • Click “Properties”, click Diagnostics • Click Query Modem, if it comes back with a table of lines and numbers, the modem itself is function (does NOT mean its physical connection is working, however) • Click the “Driver’ tab, try rollback, update (better to have Modem CD with driver) 4. Re-install TCP/IP • Locate the dialup dialer icon - Go to Start/Network connections • Right click the dialup connector, Printer won’t print! First, make sure that you have the correct printer selected, when printing a documents Within the Words doc, Click File/print In the print manager box, make sure you have the correct printer selected If your printer worked earlier, try to use “System Restore” to restore your windows to that date ---------- • USB printer: Unplug the usb connector, and plug it into another usb port. Make sure it is securely connected to both sides. If that does not work, restart the PC • Parallel printer: Make sure the printer cable is securely connected, especially the printer side; restart the pc If it still does not work, try the following (- make sure you have the original installation CD for the printer, which contains the needed printer driver) – Go to control panel/printers, and locate the printer icon for your printer; delete it, and restart pc. The printer should now have a new driver and work properly again – If that does not work, then we need to re-install the printer driver with that original CD!
