Please help me with my computer. having a few problems.
« on: January 12, 2008, 05:25:48 PM »
My husband installed a game. In order for the game controller to work correctly, I had to change some setting to the port on the Device manger. It didn't work. I went into registry and allowed access to me to change settings. Now the controller works. Well I am having a problem with computer. When I try to open the MY COMPUTER FILE, it shows a magnifine glass and it is searching. it takes between 2-3 minutes to find it and open file, sometime it may take longer. And sometime when I try to open some pictures in my picrtures and view as slide show it takes forever to upload the slideshow. Everything runs fine. I just don't know why it takes forever to open these files. Please help me.

Well, it depends what registry changes, you made.
If it wasn't long time ago, try System Restore.

Yep... that's what I would do, restore.

What version of windows are you running? Bit strange you had to do anything with device manager in order to make a controller work, their usually plug & play or you would download a driver.

What exactly did you do in device manager?
