A. The web browser could have some old or incorrect settings in a couple of places. First, with the Internet Explorer open, click Tools, Internet Options, then select the Connections tab. I'll attach a screenshot of what mine looks like below. If you don't have to do anything special to get Messenger to work, you probably want to see "never dial" checked. Next thing is the Lan Settings button at the bottom of this same window. Verify that either "Automatically Detect" is checked, or nothing at all.

A. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error reports a bad spot on the hard disk that can't retain data. The hard disk controller should eventually mark it as bad and never try to use it again. If you can run a surface analysis, that should also find it and mark it as unusable. Hope that helps.

Asked by shapoor f - Fri Jun 6 17:43:35 2008 - Other - Computers - 2 Answers - Comments
A. Cyclic Redundency Check? It's a code added to the blocks on a medium (disc, floppy, cdrom) based on what's supposed to be stored there. If the code written when the block was written, differs from what is calculated when it's read, the computer will assume the block contains corrupted data. If it's HDD, then either the file-system or the physical disk itself is damaged. If your talking about CDROMs and DVDs, then they're often "protected" from copying by adding delibirate errors. When you run the programs, only the healthy parts are read; but when you try to copy it, you'll encounter these "bad areas", causing your copy-program to fail.

If you can make it that far, a system restore should fix it. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

A. To learn about this error, go to In this case, scratches on the cd might be the reason. closing the the scratches might solve this problem. CD readers uses laser to read the content of the disk. Scratch edge on the cd causes the laser to reflect in wrong direction. This makes a cd not readable. If these scratches are closed properly, it becomes readable. 1.First clean the surface of the cd with clean running water(tap water). 2.Gently apply a little amount of toothpaste on it. 3.Take a clean, soft, wet cloth and clean the disk. Make sure u dont wipe out all the paste on it. Wait until the cd dries and start using it. It is always better to have a backup of the damaged disk.

A. To learn about this error, go to In this case, scratches on the cd might be the reason. closing the the scratches might solve this problem. CD readers uses laser to read the content of the disk. Scratch edge on the cd causes the laser to reflect in wrong direction. This makes a cd not readable. If these scratches are closed properly, it becomes readable. 1.First clean the surface of the cd with clean running water(tap water). 2.Gently apply a little amount of toothpaste on it. 3.Take a clean, soft, wet cloth and clean the disk. Make sure u dont wipe out all the paste on it. Wait until the cd dries and start using it. It is always better to have a backup of the damaged disk.

One of my computers says "disk read error occurred". press ctrl-alt-del to restart?
Q. When I do that it just goes back to the same screen over and over again. Any suggestions other than trying a recovery disk? Do I lose everything once I do that?

A. You can also pop the drive in another system as a 'Slave' Drive and when it boots up you can scan it and run tests on it. Once you fix it, put it back into its original system and boot :)

A. I believe it's just a warning. You should be able to click through that screen. You can go to 'internet options' and click the advanced tab scroll to the bottom and customize your warning options if you don't want those warning screens to pop up.
