Can not removely safely a pen drive ?

We attach portable USB device like pen drive, memory cards and portable drives etc. on our computer to transfer files from/to your computer.

When you try to remove a USB pen-drive by using “Safely Remove Hardware > Safely remove USB Mass Storage device” option, windows should stop all the read-write operations on the drive so that the drive can be removed.

But sometimes when you try to eject the USB device by using “Safely remove USB Mass Storage device” option, it shows a message box which says:

“The Device Generic volume cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device later”

In such case its not safe to remove the pen drive as it can get corrupt or get damaged. Many of us face such problem in removing pen-drive. In this post we will see how to fix such issue.

Let’s see why it happens and the fix

Fix:

This error comes when you have an application which is running from your pen drive or may be some file or document opened from your pen-drive when you are removing your drive.

In short, some file on your pen drive is in use by some other program on that computer. So close all such files or applications and try removing the drive.

Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors : How to handle ??

Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems.The se can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display. To change screen resolution do the following:

Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display-Settings

If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict. to check hardware conflict go to device manager by

Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > System-Device Manager

Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.

If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.

A Full/almost full Hard disk ?

Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some housekeeping on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents (not the folder) can free a lot of space.
