DVD drive not working. HP CDDVDW TS-L633N.

Posted under Drivers

The other day I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

My DVD drive from my HP G61 Laptop was not working. It was missing from My Computer. It was fine from the BIOS but an exclamation marked in device manager registered the drive as not available. The message in device manager read as ” Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)”.

Thankfully Microsoft have an automated fix for the problem. You get it here.

I hope you too have Found A Fix!!!

automatically locate and delete normal.dot

Posted under MS Office

The other day I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

Everytime I try to locate and delete NORMAL.DOT, it takes far too long and when there are various user profiles this makes it even more difficult.

Here’s a simple command prompt which will automatically locate and delete all NORMAL.DOT files on your computer.

1. Open a command prompt. Start, Run, type CMD and hit enter.

2. In the black dos prompt, type   cmd /c “c: & cd c:\docume~1 & del normal.dot /s”  and hit enter.

3. This will delete all entries of NORMAL.DOT which will then be automatically recreated by MS OFFICE.

I hope you too have found a fix!
