Re: My Computer
Russ, check for a CD in the cdrom drive. If there remove it. You can try
a System Restore from Safe Mode. On next Startup tap F8 until you get a Menu. Select Safe Mode. If XP boots up go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. Just follow the instructions. "Russ" <scwruss@cox.net> wrote in message news:ejYQ7VW5FHA.3588@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Can't open "My Computer" .The flashlight continually searches> >

Do Microsoft ever check whether HP to see whether updated drivers or software resolve the problem? -- Regards.

Re: My Computer
HP's solution is for the user to throw away their perfectly good hardware
and buy brand new ones. The problem is caused by incompatible (or more accurately, non-compliant) drivers. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Gerry Cornell" <gcjc@tenretnitb.com> wrote in message news:eNv$%23vg5FHA.628@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Rick > > Do Microsoft ever check whether HP to see whether updated drivers or > software resolve the problem? > > -- > > > Regards. > > Gerry > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > FCA > > Stourport, Worcs, England > Enquire, plan and execute. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > > "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" <rick@mvps.org> wrote in message > news:OFxLaUZ5FHA.1032@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... >> Hi Russ, >> >> A common problem usually alleviated by disabling Windows Image >> Acquisition on the services tab of msconfig. >> >> Long delay before files appear in My Computer in Windows XP >> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=819017 >> >> -- >> Best of Luck, >> >> Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP >> http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ >> Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone >> www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone >> Windows help - www.rickrogers.org >> >> "Russ" <scwruss@cox.net> wrote in message >> news:ejYQ7VW5FHA.3588@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... >>> Can't open "My Computer" .The flashlight continually searches> >>> >> >> >

Re: My Computer
Rick
I have some sympathy with that point of view but nevertheless HP do make available some updated drivers and software. If the model is current and a new driver is needed they would eventually lose market share by not protecting sales of older but current models. At least I would say that logical to presume but perhaps you know otherwise. I have several HP products where I have downloaded updates. Does the review of a Knowledge Base encompass the check I suggested? -- Regards.

Re: My Computer
Hi Gerry,
> Does the review of a Knowledge Base encompass the check I suggested? Not that I am aware of. HP simply doesn't care about providing proper drivers. Some they release work, some don't. If not, their attitude is "Oh well, guess you need newer hardware". I have experienced this first hand on a number of occasions. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Gerry Cornell" <gcjc@tenretnitb.com> wrote in message news:O$0YOgl5FHA.3544@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Rick > > I have some sympathy with that point of view but nevertheless HP do make > available some updated drivers and software.
