Unplug Or Eject Hardware Error

#1 Post by fleamourian » Thu Dec 27, 2007 5:30 pm

Hi

When right clicking on the eject icon in system tray then clicking unplug or eject hardware Windows returns an error while working with the Control Panel file C:\WINNT\System32\hotplug.dll

Another annoyance I've noticed is the backlight turns itself up 1 notch all by itself when on batt power & minimum backlight.

Anyone else experienced this?

Don't know if this works in W2K as well, but in XP Pro I always left-click on the Remove Hardware icon, left-click again on the device -to-be-removed and that's it.

See if this can help you any further: http://www.liutilities.com/products/win ... y/hotplug/

My suggestion would be to do a repair of W2K, if this problem persists.

Can't speak for the backlight problem, seems to me it should be the other way around. Perhaps minimum backlight is too dark?

A repair of Windows went seamlessly, woohoo! & seems to have solved both problems!

Hey that Uniblue Registry Booster 2 + Ram Defrag Extreme + Page Defrag + Clean Ram & a 7200rpm HDD have got my system flying!!!

Considering they all but Reg Boost 2 is freeware, I'd highly recommend them. I also make use of Win Live One Care especially the clean up function.
