Root Enumerator problem...HELP!HELP!  

hello all, i have a slight problem....when i go to "Devices and Printers" on the devices section, it has my laptop there, with a little triangle sign on the bottom right that says "needs trouble shooting"; so i did. after troubleshooting, it says that i need to download Root Enumerator, but when i try to download it, it fails. Does this have anything to do with the fact that my keyboard stops working sometimes, and only types these: []. How can i download it?!?!? PLease help!

Hi tinskullboy, It could be any number of reasons , How old is the laptop, make manf ?,When did you last clean it ?

i haven't ever cleaned it, but it quit doing it....that enumerator thing didnt solve the problem, is it really that necessary to have? it's not affecting the performance of my computer, so i have no idea....

tinskullboy , If it is'nt causing a problem you may as well forget about it , but do try cleaning the inlet and exhaust ports of your laptop, A can of compressed air blown into and around the ports will prevent dust and heat build ups and help to extend the life of your lappy :)

Thanks for the help! It really means a lot!

Just cleaned out my fan and my keyboard...WOW!!! at least half a truckload of dust came out of my fan, and a whole dog of hair came out of my keyboard! no more keyboard problems! Thanks!
