I have been trying to copy a file from a CD into my laptop. I have been getting the data error (cyclic redundancy check). I have tried copying the CD using other PCs.

For info, I am using XP SP2 for my laptop.

I have tried using Windows 2000, XP SP1, XP SP2 (my desktop). All copied fine, with no problems whatsoever.

Initially, my laptop system was in FAT32 format. That was the only difference compared to the other systems. I thought that was the issue so I converted it to NTFS using convert.exe method. But still did not solve the issue.

My only guess is my CDrom drive. Using Matshita UJDA755 DVD/CDRW combo. Perhaps my settings doesn't allow the CD
read the last part of the disc (yes the .cab was towards to end)

Gonna try cleaning the lens to see if it works.
Oh, btw, other files copied well, except for this particular .cab file
Even other .cab files copied OK.

Hope someone will be able to help me here. Thanks !

I broke my old laptop so I'm looking to
buy a new one (probably an HP).

I don't do any gaming, but I do watch
videos, listen to music, and do some
photo editing and graphic designs.

Mostly, I use my laptop to do school work
and surf the Internet.

Which processor would you suggest?
The price difference is about $70.
1.60 GHz duo is available for $45 more, also.

Thanks :)

My error says " we are sorry for the inconvenient but windows did not start succsefully. A recent hardware or software change might have cosed this. Then it gives me a list of start up options safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration, and start windows normally.

I've tried them all and every time i get a plain black screen If any one could help I would appreciate it so much i need my laptop for school work thanks Lisa.

I'm using a friend's computer for a week, but she keeps it so dim, I can only use it in a very dark room at night. I can't find any obvious dials or knobs.

Hi all I posted this morning that I could not move my laptop without it shutting down and I could not read the screen . I took it apart (35 screws !) and hoovered inside , now i can move it ok but the screen has loads of little squares all over it , making it hard to read . I've increased resolution so I can see what I'm writing but can't get the screen normal again ? any suggestions ?

I do alot of internet, gaming, and word/excell apps. I've got an Averatec refurb right now & I hate it...something's seriously wrong inside...like it has a mind of its own--It will shut down or restart for no apparent reason, one moment it will say that such & so a file is corrupted or can't be found & the next it's fine....I'm NOT a techie, so PLEASE no techno babble (I'm sure you've all got big brains & don't need to prove it to me) I don't mind off-name brands as long as they're quality!

My Sony Vaio Laptop had crashed recently. When I tried to recover I could not as one the recover CDs got corrupt. I somehow recovered my C: by formatting using another Windows Installer.
I see that my harddrive which is 60GB is still 53GB which I think means that recovery kit is still installed. Is there anyway I can rip the recovery CDs again and rebuild the whole PC.

Is there a setting in Windows XP where I can ask it to "lock computer" automatically when I close the lid of the laptop ?
I have a Dell Latitude D610 which comes with 'Dell Quickset' software. This software gives option for 'standby', 'hibernate' or 'do nothing' when I close the lid. I cant find an option for locking the session anywhere.
