Answer:
Try to uninstall the graphics card drivers: 1. Right click on “My Computer” 2. Click on “Properties”. 3. Click on the “Hardware” tab. 4. Open the “Device Manager”. 5. Expand the “Display Adpaters” option. 6. Select the name of your graphics card underneath this option and right click on it. 7. From the menu, click on “Uninstall” and then “OK”. 8. Restart your computer. Once the system boots back up, everything should be OK. You will get the message that says “Found new hardware”, and Windows will automatically install the driver.

Some. You might have the sasser blaster worm. Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete anything they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use. Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/download… Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht… To protect your PC in the future you’ll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use.

I recently had DVD detect issues, so I read up and decided to just uninstall them from the device manager and reboot. However I accidentally clicked on the Hard Drive and clicked Uninstall. After I re-booted (to check if the dvd drive worked) it hangs on a black screen. Please help, Thanks in advance.

Answer:
damn… this sucks first, do you have a spare computer or a buddy with a computer. you need a second computer and use set your hard drive as a slave so you can get the data off. make sure you have backed up all of your data!!!! once everything is backed up now you can play and try to resolve this issue. if you have backed up your data the easiest method is to reformat your system there are a few ways to fix this in bios but if you are not sure what to do re-load
