- Lost Windows directory in Windows Explorer
- Posted by edolo on November 11th, 2003
Was trying to get rid of ptsnoop.exe & next time win exp was openned
Win dir was missing. Find found it & in dos /p looks like it's all
there. How do I bring it back in win explorer?

It doesn't really make sense this could be it, but I don't see anyone
else speaking up, so...
(1) "START button, Settings, Folder Options, View tab", & check "Show
all files". Also, UNcheck "Hide file extensions...".
(2) R-Clk the folder in the Find box, & select "Properties". Uncheck the
Hidden attribute.

THANKS! IT WORKED!
Even had a folder called "wutemp" which must have been the result of
my fiddling. Had looked at Folder Options, but with all my other
problems I was not about to make things worse ... & now all I need is
someone to tell me how to get my asus mb to recognize the usb
ports....

Have you enabled them in the BIOS ?

Yow... I mean... you are welcome! (I will leave it to Candlin to begin
the operation on your "asus mb", as I am not sterile, &, anyway, I am...
not... well, forget that, forget that! No, really, forget it!)

Okay, so I guess the answer is no, if I say how do I do that.

Not all BIOS are the same. This likely will get you in there. Poke
around for "USB Controller", possibly in a "PCI Devices" menu. Also you
may see a "BUS Options" menu, & inside that a "PCI Bus Mastering"
switch. BETTER JUST jot down what you see, & report back!
You must press a key at boot to enter BIOS Setup. If you don't know the
key to press, try "Esc" at the manufacturer's logo. Then, the key to
press to enter BIOS setup will show up. Quickly press it. For this
Compaq, it is F10.
In BIOS, use TAB & the arrow keys to navigate, & ENTER to select. (Well,
there may be a legend showing your keys are different.)
(a) Find the "PCI Devices" menu, & set it to enable USB.
(b) Hit ENTER, or whatever key shows in the legend to enable.
(c) Find & select "Accept changes & Exit" in the menus.
While in there, you'd better go through all the menus & jot down the
settings. If they are not set to defaults, and somehow, someday, they
are cleared, all these settings will have to be input again.
.......Start.....something from Candlin about it........
Usually DEL, but F1, F2, F10 are also common.
Other keystrokes which might work are:
AMI BIOS: Del key during the POST
DTK BIOS: Esc key during the POST
Award BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc
Misc BIOS: Ctrl-Esc
Phoenix BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-S
IBM PS/2 BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Ins after Ctrl-Alt-Del
If all else fails, shut down, power off, unplug the keyboard,
and power up again, as some older systems will default
to the CMOS Setup if a keyboard is not found.
.......End........................................ .......................

Oh, the bios on startup! I thought maybe you meant somwhere like when
I right click my computer. Mine uses delete. USB is on auto, & when
I tried to set to enabled mouse did not work.
Both Epson & Asus tried getting me to del USB Controllers, etc., but
no help. Epson says it's hardware, but Asus wasn't taking that lying
down - but didn't have a ready remedy! Hopefully they'll get back to
me before the end of the month - otherwise I might be forced to buy
another motherboard.
BTW, I posted the following in the Asus mainboard newsgroup, but got
no answer.
tks, alp
ps: going to borrow a confirmed bi-directional printer cable to make
sure the one I'm using is bi - not that that has anything to do with
the USB ports.

(1) You "Installed new hd, & windows".
(2) You "did not get original software with computor".
Is that a fresh install onto the Seagate, from what?
