Comment on Safely Remove Hardware? by Bruce B

two questions regarding this icon – often I lose my wifi connection and will remove the usb air card yet the icon remains on the tray. No device is listed in the window. When this happens, I am unable to get my computer to shut off and must force off the power (then reboot again). What is causing this (repeatedly) to happen and can I go to a registry somewhere to shut off the “safely remove hardware” program when the icon is present despite no USB being connected?
Secondly, I often get a prompt (over and over and over) that “this device can work more quickly if plugged into …” or some similarly worded message. Often I can’t get that prompt to quit appearing unless the device (my aircard) is fully installed and operating. The little check box in that popup that says “do not show again” does not keep the same message from popping right back up again. Can THAT message be found and disabled in the registry? (I am on Vista home with a Compaq pressario). Neither is a serious issue, but over time has gotten very frustrating and the icon freezing my OS is building up a LOT of lost time spent rebooting.

I couldn’t agree more! If you ever know of someone who wants to throw away a computer, please let me know. There’s always someone who can use it.

Hey again, I wrote Google, when I meant to write Dell. I bought my computer from Dell, and still have a warranty.

Well, it just goes to show, there’s a lot to be said for proofreading.

Sorry for the typo~ To you and to Google.

Thank you for being here. I’m been advised by Google to “back up” my system and have it wiped, in fact I just purchased a disk drive and was going to call them tom. My question to you is, should I unplug my USB cable tonight? Or should I let it alone to see what it writes?

In any event, thanks again for being here, because I’m sure you made more sense to me than I am making to you~

Let me know if you can help~

Thanks for your post. Your solution worked perfectly. I did have to manually install each driver though, but besides that getting my computer back to normal was a breeze. Thanks!

I am a friend and colleague of Judith Seaman and might have a couple of jobs for you. Can you also design hard copies newsletters?

Great article, Glenn. Thanks for breaking it all down. Your article is very helpful and practical.
There are so many individuals, families and organizations who are desperate for even the most basic computers, tools, printers, copiers and cell phones.
Recycling technology rather than throwing it into landfills makes so much sense and benefits absolutely everyone – even Mother Nature!
