Acer :: EDSLoader.exe Unable To Locate Component
Feb 7, 2009
I am a "silver surfer" with limited computer knowledge and would greatly appreciate help with a problem which has recently occurred with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop which is running Vista SP1.
All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, when I switch on I get a message " eDSLoader.exe Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because ADMIN_CLASS_LIB.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
This is followed by a Windows Message which says "eData Security System Loader (Load and prepare environment) has stopped working" and I get the 2 usual Windows alternatives.
Looking in Google, I see an article which says this problem is not serious. It says the eDSLoader program relates to data encryption and is not normally used. The solution recommended by the article is to use msConfig and disable the program from running at start up.
Before doing this, I would like to double-check with knowledgeable members of this forum.
Is disabling the program from running at start-up really the best solution ?
Or should I try to re-install the program in question ? If re-installing is the best option, do I uninstall in the normal way and where do I find a new version of the program to re-install?

I bought the laptop from Newegg and they shipped it with Vista Home Premium. I use the laptop at work so I purchased Vista business. However, when I install vista business, the drivers from Sony's website don't seem to work (especially the network ones). I am unable to locate any network in the device settings.
I called Sony and they said they do not have an official drivers cd for the AW190 since it is a newer laptop. They can't even confirm if Vista Business is compatible with AW190! All they told me to do was re-install the drivers in a certain order but that did not work either.
Is the AW190 Vista Business compatible? Has to be, right?

I'm looking at the motherboard on my Aspire 5601AWLMi (mobo id "31zb2mb0091" ) and I see there's four places where can insert cards. Two are the RAM chips, those are labeled DDR RVS 1.8V with "tyco" written on the other side of the plastic bracket, there's wireless card slot not really labeled with anything conclusive over near the Lan and Phone port, and then there's another slot labeled "0624n3" on the left side of the plastic bracket and "-+AMP" on the other side of it. I have absolutely NO idea what that last slot is for, and I'd like to know, if anyone can figure it out.
To describe it, pin wise starting from the left it has 1 pin, a divider, then 61 pins in a row. I think it's 61. I'm not willing to recount :P
It's physically shorter than a ram chip, but not by much more than 3/4cm is my guess.
You can see the slot itself in this picture:

The slot is sitting just above that big red..knob..thing.
Also, I found this page, but it didn't tell me anything useful, I think. The mobo is flipped over in the diagrams..

I decided that I am going to pass on the HDTV and get a LCD TV. I am going to get the Insignia because I found out my Best Buy discount works again so I can get the proper cables I need and a TV! It was either the Samsung 27" Tube or this 26" Insignia, and its about the same price so I might as well get it!
My question is is that the LCD TV only has 1 HDMI, which I would be using for my Upconvert player. Should I use VGA from the 1710 to the tv--> Does it support HD out?

when i remove the battery, there is a device that clips into the body and it has a connector on it with very thin wires running to it....
i assume it might be either the wi-fi card, bluetooth, or something else ?
can anyone confirm please ? i unclipped it from the body of the laptop and looked at it but noticed some discoloration on the printed portion of the board that i can see, kind of like it got wet in the past....

i wanted to output the dv5 1009tx to a crt
i bought a vga to 3x RCA (component cable) now thing is it does not output video to a CRT tv
now i know you guys might say use the HDMI , but well i cannot afford an LCD currently or in the near future, and yes the tv isn't any larger stands at 20 or so inches (sanyo)...flat (or as near as flat can be...)
i am using the latest NVIDIA drivers from their website,....i have previously in the past been able to setup dual/clone displays with NVIDIA cards....(using DVI/VGA desktops) but apparently this does not work, the Display driver picks up the TV but sadly no display
i have tried
No interlace (on laptop and tv)
reduced Reso to 10x7
flicker at 60Hz
the tv shows a bluescreen and it flickers....but no image of the desktop
my qs to you all is.......do i need any specific cable (as this one states it is a DVD player to projector...but shouldn't it work anyways?) any other settings i may have missed
(my duty roster would not allow me to get to this shop for another week+) i do not have VGA to RCA or svideo

my HP tx1000 has just become my second, rather than my primary computer, and I'm looking to finally use it as a media center PC with the XB 3000 docking station I bought with it.
The XB 3000 has some nice component jacks, so I presume I want to use those. But it doesn't seem to have speaker outputs, just SPDIF and a Headphone jack. I presume I want to get a cable that will go from the headphone jack to the stereo inputs on the TV?

To preface this post I am in no way new to HDTV or computers for that matter, but I wanted to get some facts straight.
I am moving into a house at school and wanted to get a decent TV. I am getting a 27" Tube HDTV.
I am moving in a fraternity house so an LCD or plasma isn't something I want to invest in just yet. So please don't recommend one of those. I am planning on hooking up my 1710 to the TV and wanted to know how the Component Video Output looks on it, to make sure its true 720p/1080i or if they are just sending a 480p signal out of it. I am assuming it will be HD but I wanted to also get some first hand responses from anyone that may have used this output on a tube HDTV. I know a standard tube will look like garbage but I am hoping a HD tube might perform better. I MAY use DVI to HDMI, but with my room configuration I have to get a 12' cable so DVI to HDMI in that length might be too pricey right now.

anyone run a benchmark utility such as Lavalys Everest or Sisoft Sandra or similar to tell me the name of the manufacturer of the Firewire chipset in the Inspiron 1720 please? Not the motherboard or CPU chipset, just the firewire component of the laptop, please.
The benchmark software is free, and they tell you what components are inside your particular computer.
Reason I'm asking is that I have an external firewire soundcard (for professional music recording), and for maximum compatibility the soundcard manufacturer recommends the soundcard only be used with certain firewire chipsets.

m6400 with a single 200gb HD which is not really enough space.
At the moment I am trying to decide between doing one of the following
1. Buy 2x320gb 7200 WD drives and raid 0 them up WD 320 : 66.69 * 2 = COST 134 GBP approx Total Space 640 Gb
2. Buy 1 320 hdd and 1 60 gb SSD to boot off SSD : 137.99 + WD 320 : 66.69 = COST 205 GBP Total Space = 380 GB
3. Buy 1 320 hdd and keep the 200 gb drive its coming with
COST 67 GBP - Total Space = 520 GB
I would like it to be quick (obviously)
Does anyone know how a single SSD compares to twin 7200 hdds in raid 0 ? (approx)
The SSD I would probably buy is the OCZ "solid series" (read "budget series") but it still appears to be quick at least according to the OCZ site, I couldnt find any actual reviews of it because I think its too new (its the red coloured one).
Im a little afraid of the risks involved with raid 0 plus the fact that I couldnt just swap out one of the drives without loosing the array.
Maybe a single 7200 is ok. Has anyone any experiance with this SSD?
Also second thing
I am also thinking of buying some more RAM - the 2 brands I am looking at are OCZ and G.Skill
They are both identically priced and the only 2gb dimms for ddr3 that the shop I am looking at stocks.

Where to find the fast USB port on my laptop. In the device manager on my HP HP G60-100 Notebook PC series, it confirms that I have an enhanced USB port. Which of the three ports is the fast USB port?  I have to back up a lot of information from my phone & it is taking too much time. Difficult to test each port as I'm in the middle of a long transfer. It is not shown in the product manual, the ports are only listed as USB ports.Â

I found the part number for the raid component in the Z-series. You just need two low-profile SSD, and you should be able to do RAID in the Z-series laptop without paying for RAID config from Sony.
Part number is A-1553-769-A
You can go here to purchase the part

You may be able to use this in the TT as well, but I'm not so sure about that.

I have Inspiron E1705 with WUXGA (1920x1200) which I want to connect to my rear-projection TV that has only component video inputs.
I've bought this S-Video to Component adapter:
[url]
But when I switch to external monitor (TV) via Fn-F8, the screen switches to 1024x768 (TV starts showing in that resolution too), and there is no way I can raise the resolution.
But I really want HD 1080i !
I know my TV can support it, as I can switch my XBMC to 1080i and TV switches to it.
I tried to play with PowerStrip options, without much luck.
Is there any way to achieve my goal?
I have Windows XP Professional SP2.

I recently Had my HP Pavilion G7 crash on me which ran windows 8 (OEM) I was unable to restore it. I decided to downgrade to windows vista and do a clean install due to the fact I connot locate my w8 install disk. The problem im having is my network,display adaptors and other devices arent working and showing a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and ive done some research and tried fixes like unistalling and reinstalling but it still not working.Here is what is showing up with the exclamation points in yellow
Â
network adapters
-acer NIC - 559A pro/100+ with alert on lan 2
Â
Other devices
- SM bus Controller
-Universal serial bus(usb) controller
-universal serial bus (usb) controller
-Unkown device
Â
I feel like if i can get online and get windows to update some of these things will clear up and fix. Now i did have problems with realtek PCIe FE Family Controller but i went and found the driver for that.here are some system info:
Â
system Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
system model: HP pavilion g7 notebook pc
system type: x86 based pc (32bit)

I did call HP free support because my warranty was up and they told me it seemed like an software issue or corruption and they felt confident they could fix it but they wanted me to pay for tech support which i dont mind but it would be a monthly service charge which i dont need constant tech support this is the first time ive ran into this issue they also told me that the tech would have me enter some Commands in command prompt to resolve this.

Both Windows 8 DVD and MiniTool software detects the disk partition and its formated OK, but the error message appears to prevent it from installation.
Â
These are steps that I tried to resolve the problem, but it won't work.

when i insert a dvd into the drive, the drive tries to read the disc and the yellow led turns on, after a few seconds it finishes reading and when i go to open it in computer, double click on dvd drive, there is nothing on the dvd. i tried a couple of different dvd's, but the same thing happens.
One thing that makes me think that the problem is software, is my ability to boot from disc. i can boot the recovery disks, windows xp, linux... whatever.
i've updated to bios v1.14 from 1.10, but the problem persisted. i always tried removing upperfilters & lowerfilters and even restoring to factory default settings. nothing worked. i remeber that this happened to me about 5 months ago, and that suddenly it was fixed, but two weeks ago it returned.

I tried to read a blu-ray disc yesterday, it opens Acer Arcade Deluxe and then I get a black screen, nothing happens...
When I purchased the laptop I tried the sample blue-ray that comes with it and it works perfectly, but apparently not the blu-ray that I rented yesterday. Do you guys think it might be a zone issue ? I am in canada and I have the zone set to A, so it should be ok.
I already upgraded to the version of Acer Arcade Deluxe.

i just bought an acer aspire 5102wlmi without a HD for a friend. so i went and bought a HD and proceeded to install windows XP home service pack 2.
the problem is it constantly stays in a loop, i load and boot from the disc, it copies all the files, reboots, loads the files, says starting windows, and then just starts all over by going back to the setup screen. i've formatted the drive and made multiple attempts. had anyone else had this problem? if so what is the solution?
