    Computer seems to be confused


    My computer seems to be confused,

    • I am unable to make new folders in documents files
    • It does not properly recognize the DVD drives, opens the same drive regardless of which one is selected and will not record to any drive

    -Use Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by click on Start button , and then click on Control Panel.

    -In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.

    -Under Hardware and Sound, click Configure a device.*

    -If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    The only action the troubleshooter did was to ask to install a printer which I no longer own. I did reinstall the software for that printer.

    Still unable to read or record to CD/DVD Drives

    Still unable to make new folder

    Try running sfc /scannow in a cmd prompt, this will find missing or corrupted system files and repair/replace them.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
