Problem with IE 6 and my DVD Rom

MeleeKnight · 11-13-2005, 03:28 AM

Basic Info on my computer just in case it helps or has revilence towards my computer problems.
Windows 98
Hewlett-Packard
Pentium II Processor
128 MB Ram

Problem number one.

When first using IE 6 everthing runs fine, but then after I have used it for an extensive amount of time or have open about 10 new browsing windows I recieve two error messages. One of the messages states, "Runtime error 226 at 089965B3" and the other states, "Runtime error 226 at 089962DF."
I just recently installed IE 6, but I still have the same problem with my previous IE. Is there something wrong with my setting, is it my computer or is it Spyware?

Problem number two.

My DVD Rom stopped working. It does not play DVDs, Audio CDs or even Data CDs. The drive with open and close, but it will not read any type of CD. Now I'm not so good with computers, so I searched threads and I came upon one that seemed similar to my problem, but I think it made things worse.
Firs I went to Start, then I went in Run, and I typed in "msconfig" and then I hit Advance and I clicked the box that states, "Disable UDF file system." Now the DVD-Rom shows up as CD-Rom in the Device Manager. Before I clicked the "disable UDF file system" the DVD-rom would show up in the Device Manager at Pioneer DVD-Rom. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Just FYI, the DVD-rom was already install with the computer when I bought it, and I do not have a CD to reinstall the Drives.
Also, since I'm on this subject, my CD-Rom, well it works but sometings it won't read CDs, not right away, it takes some time before it finally reads it. Any clue as to why that is?

If anyone can please help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

As to the first issue ... Download memtest86, and run the exe you downloaded to create the floppy. Boot to it and let it run for an hour or so. This will trst your RAM and show you any errors.

As to the second proble. Re-enable the UDF file system, then use device manager to remove the DVD-ROM from the list. Reboot and see what happens. You could just have a faulty drive (it's got some miles on it).

Hey Chevy, I did re-enable the UDF file system. Now the DVD-Rom shows up as a CD-Rom in the device manager. Now I have two CD-Rom icons in the device manager. I haven't removed it yet, but is that really such a good idea? I don't have the CD to reinstall the DVD drive. Will I be able to bring back the drive if I remove it??

CD and DVD drives which connect to an IDE connection on the motherboard are like Hard Drives in that they have Integrated Device Electronics. You specify in the BIOS what type of drive is connected (Hard drive, CD/Optical , etc) and windows uses a generic driver (such as Oakcdrom.sys ) to access the firmware on the drive and ask it what it to send its driver. You do not need a driver for such a drive any more than you do for a hard drive, the driver is built into the drive itself. Normally, if the drive shows more than once in the device manager or if it is incorrectly identified, this means that the driver windows copied from the firmware got damaged . The fix is to remove the drive in device manager (remove all copies if there are more than one) and restart the computer. When windows discovers the drive, it will ask it to send a copy of its drivers from the firmware chip on the drive.
Occaisionally you need to also remove the Secondary IDE controller and likewise windows will rediscover it and reload the driver.

Your reference to the drive identification changing when you enable / disable UDF ( Packet writing such as Nero INCD, Roxio/Adaptec DirectCD , FileCD etc) makes me wonder if you have more than one burner suite installed or if you have recently uninstalled one of these. Often these compete or are mutually incompatible and cause registry buffer setting problems which will make the drive inaccessible or incorrectly identified.

Regarding your runtime error; do you have spyware doctor installed? It is known to cause this error. IF you do , uninstall it. Otherwise it may be a spyware infestation ; download and install spybot search and destroy and lavasofts Ad-aware

The other possibility is you need to update your vbruntime
