A little Windows / computer help
(sorry in advance for any bad grammar or spelling I'm on my Wii.)
I'm an over all a computer enlightened guy, a lot more than other people. But I need a little help...
For the past few months the stand by feature hasn't been function, As when the dialogue box comes up it asks if you want to Stand by, Shut down, or Restart. So how do I make it work again, I can't find the answer or solution.
And how do I get the file browsing to work like it use too. I set the folder settings for all of them to open in same window and it still doesn't do it even though when I look back the setting it says it is.
plus, how do you reinstall/re.... a CD drive, I unplugged for cleaning, plugged it back properly, and it hasn't worked since. I looked in BIOS but that didn't do it.
I'd ask my dad but he gets angry every time something is wrong with my computer and ask as thought it's my fault.

1. Check that Advanced Power Management (APM) is enabled.
2. Try setting it to open new windows, apply, set it back to open in same window, then apply.
3. By looked in BIOS, do you mean that it didn't show up in BIOS, or it did but Windows doesn't read it? In the first case, check that the wiring is correct and that the jumper setting is correct for where you have it plugged in. In the second, check Device Manager and see if Windows detects it but doesn't have the driver.
