My Computer is empty lol

[U2K Tha Greate$t]

Not really funny, but after i get done playing a game on my external HD, when i click on my computer, i get this:

Nothing is there, but its there.

[sachleen]

refresh? or try going to C:\ to see if you see the contents there

[Rudy]

whoa....Windows ME.....

on the serious side....I've never seen that issue before....

[darren89]

if refreshing doesn't work, try to remove your hard drive and restart your computer.

see what happens next.

by the way, what game were you playing on your external hard drive?

[scrtsqurrl]

Probably just explorer waiting for the external device to power back up after a spin down - power saving?

Windows98se, not me. Yea i never seen it before either lol.

by the way, what game were you playing on your external hard drive?

Well so far, 2 games, Alarm Corba 11 Nitro and Euro Cops. Well yes after i restart my computer it shows back up. I also check my system resources to see how low it is, and its at 90% or 86%, still good.

Probably just explorer waiting for the external device to power back up after a spin down - power saving?

That could be the issue, i notice when i right click an empty spot i see a hour glass.

Let me go play another game and try what everyone suggested. Be back later. :)

Update: It only seems to happen when i play demanding games on my computer setup. If i play them for a long time, so i guess i will have to limit my play just a bit. Doesn't seem to happen when playing games on my internal HD.

My system specs is in my sig. Also, the game runs just fine, 15-30fps at AAX2, almost Max settings at 1280x1024. But the thing is, both games is not supported by WIN9X, but i am using a updates for win9x, that allows me to play XP games on a win9x OS. So you know that issue will only show up, not a big deal, i just have to limit my time of play.

It happens with those 2 games tho. :)

^ BTW - Nice computer. :p

Just Reboot.

[Angel Blue01]

Can you still access the drives from the commandline? If so you're fine LOL

[roadgeek9]

Also, can you access the drives from the drop-down menu in Explorer?

[U2K Tha Greate$t]

The problem isn't going on anymore, because i don't play them long anymore. And it was only 2 games that was the issue. I just played the game for 30mins, no problems.

Well, it beats my ol ' Duron 800 box, on RAM and GPU. My school are running Celerons with 100Mhz FSB with XP on, even!

Hey, I have something that sucks more than yours, P3 550 with 320 MB RAM running Debian.

My school has Celerons for the teachers, P4 1.8 GHz in the library, and Core 2 Duos in the computer labs - all running XP. It's crazy.

That's freaking awesome! 90W PSU. That's like the TDP of my old Pentium D.

90W? My P3 550 has a 200W and it is apparently used all up.
