My Computer

[Guest]

When I click on "My Computer", the flashlight comes out looking for the
drives - "View System information" etc. but they don't come up. What can I
do to get to see "drive C" and then check the properties?

Hi,

Start/run msconfig, go to the services tab and disable the line that loads
Windows Image Acquistion (WIA). This often happens when third party drivers
interfere with the native function.

From the list of Services(local) scroll down to Windows Image
Acquisition>Right click on it>Click on Stop.
