Another problem.

15 years ago

I cannot access the CD drive D:

The message says "See your administrator for access to this folder". I am the administrator! A password has to be entered to gain any access.

I had an unenviable experience with passwords before so I am meticulous about this aspect.

What does that mean?
What happens if you insert a music CD?
Does the drive spin?
Does the LED light activate on the drive?
Do you get sound?
Does a small window pop up asking for your choice?
Should there be the password on the CD drive?
XP - Vista - Win 7?
Have you tried to right click on the CD drive and been given the option to run as administrator?

Ha! Sorta what I was thinkin'. Well, other than a larger flower, I'm probably happier to have a large clump of SC since it reblooms. I'll just move them together so I will have a spot for a new daylily! No big deal, I don't really buy from the box store unless it is on good clearance or I see it in bloom. I saw this one in bloom, but it looked like the picture on the tag to me. But it was on clearance too so I didn't pay much for it anyway!

hmm, i thought it mite be that. I am spraying with copper sulphide spray, but i think it's too late now, once the leaves show? I have had this for a few seasons, and i try n keep plants healthy for as long as i can - using coffee grounds from my local cafe seems to give the plants a lift too. now it's autumn (fall) here, and i have plants still setting fruit, so i hope to try n keep the fruit set ahead of the disease. any tips to minimise it's affects would be great too. thanks for your help mate.

This hiccup sometimes happens when I surf through some Euro web pages. Restarting my computer or shutting it down completely then bringing it back online has worked for me at various times. Below is basically a rerun of bits of the quick setup you did before going online with your new computer, so you may prefer instead to refer back to your official instructions on this particular part. Go to Control Panel then to Clock Language and Region and check for option Canada or Canada English US where choices must be made. If it still won't clear out the keyboard after another restart, try setting it to US as a temporary measure where choices are offered. You might also want to run your anti malware stuff and then do a full scan Windows MSE (Defender) overnight as a precaution. This post was edited by laat2 on Tue, Aug 20, 13 at 22:40

sounds like the UAC just asking for admin permissions since it is windows 7, if so doing Owbist's last suggestion should work

owbist and ravencajun, I did and I was guided to a formatting process which worked.
Thank you very much.

That is good news. Thank you for replying answering all the questions that were asked, that makes it easier for anyone trying to help.

I wish more people would answer as fully as it helps to remove some of the guess work when trying to give suitable advice.
