View 16 RepliesA friend asked me to look at their Acer laptop since it was acting up. It was riddled with viruses so I did a system restore. It is now stuck on a loop saying that Windows could not finish installation. Please restart to finish. I've restarted it several times and am still getting this message. I've used the system restore on several other computers and laptops and have not had this problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.

(I don't know all the specs to her machine) Windows will not load.Gives me two options at start up, normal or Repair start up, I have tried.both, normal brings me back to the same menu, so then I check repair, itruns through to the windows loading, then goes to a blank screen with the cursor.When she got this pc I created 4 recovery discs from the start menu the.4th one I have labelled Recovery Environment 64 bit. Can anyone guide me here?If her hard drive was fried would I still get the Windows starting up menu?I have never tried to repair a laptop, have done it a quite few times on my.desktops, but am at a loss since there are no messages at all during start up.Okay, I have tried using the disks, the first one seemed to run through,then I had to shut system off and put the 2 and 3rd recovery disk in, but this is part of the message I received when I tried to run those disks.Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 002)This product is covered by on or more of the following.PXE Rom the same message seemed to fill the screen - looks to me a failed drive?How do I check that?

Yesterday I downgraded internet explorer 10. Now when I turned on my computer I get a message that says:Setting up personalized settings for:Web Platform Customizations And my explorer.exe won't load. It's just a blank screen and that message.Last time I had IE9, I tried to downgrade it to 8. It caused my IE to not work properly. The settings doesn't open, and it crashes when I type something in the address bar. I tried to reinstall IE9 but it says I still have the latest version.So what I did was install IE10 because I know it won't come up with the "you already have the latest version" error. And I succeeded installing IE10.And yesterday, I tried to downgrade IE10.And today, 2 things aren't working. My IE is not working properly again (same problem as before again).And my explorer.exe is not working too (coming up with that message above).Things I've Tried: End explorer.exe in processes and rerunning it. Restarted my computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically, an assortment of websites have trouble loading. Some times they will take a couple refreshes to load, sometimes they will load in HTML after a long time, and some don't load at all. Sometimes a website will work fine, but then not load the next day. It's starting to really piss me off, especially since it affects such websites as:
- SoundCloud
- Twitch.tv
- Justin.tv
- The Escapist
- Facebook (occasionally)
- Many more!
As far as I can tell, this all started a few months ago. My internet spontaneously stopped working. I called my ISP (TelstraClear NZ), and the operator did some troubleshooting. Eventually the problem just seemed to fix itself after I unplugged and replugged my modem; I guess it reset my connection.I have a SURFBoard modem and a Netgear wireless router.The things I've done to try fix are:
- Changing my DNS servers - many times
- Using a different OS/computer
- Using a different browser
- Pinging the servers of stuck websites. Often I can't reach them with a ping
- Turning off/unplugging my modem and router
- Plugging my modem directly into the computer
I'm at my wit's end as to what the problem is. Everything i can see suggests that this is a DNS problem - the seemingly arbitrary times websites won't work, my inability to ping them, the random assortment of affected websites. The only other thing that would make sense to me is that it is my ISP causing the problem - but only for my connection.
I am having trouble loading certain websites in all browsers. I keep getting messages that say the connection timed out. Certain websites like google and hotmail will load. others like wikipedia will not. yahoo.com loads sometimes and not at others. I called my ISP and they say I have malware. I do not understand how they know this. I have run a scan using malwarebytes and no malicious items were detected
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have tried 5 times to load Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and each time it fails. I have made sure there is enough disk space, updated the drivers & run cCleaner registry check - all to no avail.I have also explored the Microsoft suggestions for the failure to load. It would appear that it might be caused by the Background Intelligent Transfer Service as this doesn't start. It won't start if you access it manually through the control panel either.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn some nights my computer works perfectly fine, I can surf the net without incident, open applications, play games etc and everything appears to be fine.Then there are the other nights (which are increasing in frequency) where the computer boots up fine but then I run into application after application which refuses to load - I will click on the application and the "loading" icon will appear on screen and then just stay there.The only way out is to cntrl-alt-delete and bring up task manager, but this can also then refuse to either load or - if it does - will not respond when I click on the first offending application in an attempt to close that down.I also noticed on the last few nights that when trying to start a particular game clicking on the icon would appear to have activated nothing - yet when I attempted to start it again I would get a message saying that I couldn't start the game until the one I had running had been shut down - but nothing appeared to be running.My computer was built in January of this year. I have regularly run disk cleanups etc and run virus checks at least once a week and nothing shows up.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 Professional over the weekend and after installing all the Windows updates the computer ran extremely well. Today, I installed Office 2007 and didn't have any problems. When I turned off the computer there were about 20 updates for Office that got automatically installed.
When I turned on the computer again, the starting process was painfully slow, and the display resolution was not correct. On the Device Manager, the display adapter includes the correct NVIDIA adapter but there is a warning "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" (But it worked fine before I turned it off!) If I update the driver software, it says that the one I have is up to date! This also occurs with the coprocessor.
I have had my new computer for 2 weeks and already have run into a problem. Certain websites all of a sudden will not load in any browser.

Need to get this fixed ASAP as I work full time on my comp.

OK before I go into the issue, I am aware that there are threads that relate to this, however with my problem I feel that I am half way to resolving the problem... also I know that people frown upon thread hijackers, so I thought I would create new.So the issue as far as I know... well the thread title says it all. I've identified what conditions create the problem, however I don't really know why, or what I could do to rectify it. I used the "listen to device" to better hear it, and basically when I'm on the desktop, I can hear a feint whining, however when I fire up a video game I hear an audible and loud buzzing which pretty much competes with the in-game audio. This isn't a problem if I'm just playing a game on my own, but when live streaming or recording with Fraps, if the mic is set to accept sounds, I will get the buzzing along with the game audio. The only way I can completely nullify this annoying sound when recording is to tell the recording program to completely ignore the microphone.I have tried a number of things to attempt to resolve this issue. First of all I can pretty much rule the motherboard out of the equation as it is a relatively new board. Also I can rule out my headset and power supply as they are both under a month old, and my soundcard as this problem occurs with both my internal Creative X-Fi card and my onboard Realtek HD Audio device. Given that this sound seems to be most evident when the VGA is being stressed, am becoming more and more of the opinion that my graphics card (Nvidia GTX275) is the problem device, however what confuses me is why these annoying sounds only occur when a microphone input device is "recording".So what am I looking for? I guess am asking what could be causing my mic to broadcast these sounds, why graphical stress is sending out these sounds, and what I can do to resolve it. I'm not too keen on buying a new video card, especially when I don't actually know if that will resolve the problem. I've also heard about EMI being a possible cause of this issue with poorly or unshielded cables, but I've tried turning off various electronic devices, moving my phone away, physically reinstalling the devices in the base unit (tower), cable tying everything away from the cards, even relocating the computer to a completely different room at the other end of the house, so I think I can rule out EMI as well.If you've had a similar problem and installing a new graphics card was the answer to it, please let me know as well. As I've already stated, it's not an issue if I'm just playing games, but if I want to record my voice for commentary or simply just talking to other people on Skype while streaming or recording with Fraps, it's an automatic no-go.
