Safe Removal Hardware - restore pop-up window
in [Using XP]
|
From: Gualtier Malde on 13 Jun 2010 20:08 I am using XP SP3 in an ACER netbook. Previously, when I would click on the Safe Removal and Hardware for some USB device I would hear the sound and see a small window. Now the sound is played but the window doesn't show. The importance to me is that I use library wireless when on travel and have the sound turned off, so under those conditions I don't know if my safe removal was completed. How to I restore that window? Thanks - gm

I looked at those but my problem isn't that I don't have the icon. That tray icon comes as soon as I plug something in. What I was concerned about was not getting the balloon that says the device may be removed safely, which usually pops up in the lower right of the screen, just above the tray. A Windows bubble sound is also heard. The situation now is that the sound is heard but the balloon doesn't show. It matters when I am using the netbook in a place where I have to be quiet and I have a blank in the earphone socket to shut sounds off. At those times I have to assume it based on other signs: the little icon disappears if my device was the only one, or I didn't get told I couldn't take the device out. gm

Damn those French.
