Upon Start up I have no internet access. No drivers are being recognized (graphics,motherboard, CD/DVD driver) and when trying to perform a system restore (to any point) I get a "catastrophic failure".Eventually I will get a BSOD with Memory Management as its title.I'm unable to start up in "Safe Mode" when restarting, it wont let me highlight anything but " Start Windows Normally"
View 3 RepliesOver the last few weeks, this computer has become more and more problematic. Just to get it out of the way, I can, with 99.9% certainty, rule out viruses or malware, as I'm extremely careful and use Malwarebytes, AVG, and Firefox with Noscript. My computer has been virus-free for years. Every scan (the above two, Spybot, Avira, Ad-Aware, Bazooka, HijackThis - all scans have always been clean for years). Keep in mind that this computer was functioning flawlessly up until this week. This hardware setup is from 2008 and I am using the same Windows 7 disc that I installed on it three years ago. This is the second format and re-installation since I built the computer. No problems the last time, which was about a year ago.

I launched a second one, which ran but which locked up and could not be stopped.
Exit XP. Reboot the Windows 7 machine. Start XP, get error "Terminal connection is busy processing another connect operation" followed after a time by the login screen.
Enter password and get the same error.
One time I did get into XP, but every app lauched gave error "App failed to init as the window station is shutting down". I noticed that the locked-up app from the first session was still on the taskbar and still locked up and unable to be stopped.
I have a problem, when I try to run a certain program it has an error, that prjChameleon.ocx or one of its dependencies are missing.. So I downloaded prjChameleon.ocx and put it in my System32 folder, but still no luck, says it will not work.. Further studying I found out that I needed to register it.. So I went to Start>Run> regsvr32 C:WindowsSystem32prjChameleon.ocx
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently received a virus that did a plethora of things and one of them was trying to delete system 32. To counter this I tried to reset my comp to a previous date. After pushing it to the farthest date and still dealing it I decided to reset to factory default without backing up any files. Everything goes great but when it starts installing the service and the OS it says the installation can not continue and the comp must be restarted. My comp is a HP TouchSmart 600 PC running Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. I have disconnected everything from it and tried running it on safe mode but I do not know how to restart it without pressing the power button but that just ends everything.

I attempted to install the latest RTM release. I assumed that this would be easy as RC-1 was a breeze. Installing RC-1 I used the ISO extract to DVD at Slow Speed, did the same procedure here.
In BIOS I made the boot priority the CD/DVD drive as primary.
I inserted my media into the BD drive and saw the prompt: " Touch any Key to boot fromCD". Did that. The Media began to initialise but it was extremely slow, 3-4 minutes. The screen with company mast and working bars took a few minutes. After that the wallpaper came up with a mouse pointer. I was able to move the mouse around and after another few minutes I saw the Logo screen with Language and keyboard US.
The Windows Install Prompt was next and I executed the install. After a few more minutes I see the "SET UP STARTING". After a few more minutes I get a new screen w/"Load Driver".Required driver for CD/DVD is missing.
The installer scanned the media disc but there was no driver to be found.
I uploaded 2 images for everyone to see.
Is any forum member here have a work around?
I attempted to install my drivers from my sys_32 folders from a thumb drive but no joy.
Since RC-7 was such a snap I assumed this install would be as easy also.
I did run into a small surprise on an older system that required me to download the audio drivers from MS update. The audiochip is made by VIA.
WMP12 doesn't play the audio when viewing a DVD movie, but when I use Media Center, then everything works.
Any advice on how to reinstall/enable the needed audio codec into WMP12 ?
I tried to disable/enable WMP12, but this didn't solve it, neither does changing the settings for filetypes etc connected to WMP.
I've got a windows 7 machine connected to the internet through a gentoo linux firewall/router/proxy.
I used to have this problem a while ago on windows xp but worked around it with dns hacks on my linux box. This time I want to find the actual cause.
As of today, if I go to IMDB, most of the CSS files fail to load. Trying to get to the url directly, firefox and chrome both tell me that the IMDB cdn server can't be found. Running nslookup from the windows 7 machine managed to resolve the hostname perfectly. It also works flawlessly from the linux box.
I have transparent interception on port 80, going to a squid proxy which should perform all the DNS queries. It seems that browsers (firefox and chrome...untesed with others) still seem to be trying to perform DNS lookups themselves and for some reason, fail for certain addresses.
I'm having problems with my system, I can barely go 10 minutes without having to restart my computer because of DNS failure. I've restarted my router, changed my IPv4 DNS location, etc. And I've had no luck.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy PC is refusing to start up. It happened yesterday after the power had flickered, I turned off my computer because the battery it was hooked up to was yelling at me (due to the power flicker). On the startup, my PC just hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data", and then gives me the "DISKBOOT FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT DISC AND PRESS ENTER" to continue shenanigans.
I've cleaned out my computer and have tried unplugging my two external hard-drives, as well as going into the BIOS and making sure the boot order was correct. When I insert a Windows boot disc, it refuses to 'repair' my system because it says there's no specified OS to repair... I thought the problem was that it wasn't recognizing my actual hard-drive, but that doesn't seem to be the case, (I forgot how I got to it but,) it recognized that I had 183/500 GB of space left (as well as being able to view certain files.
I recently was able to get into DOS, where it's listing my main drive as "X:windows\system32". Could this be the problem? If so, how did it reassign it to "X: and why did it do that?!
Running Windows 7 Home Premium. For three days now I have seen nothing but the error Boot Disk Failure when trying to boot up.. I can overcome it by putting the IOS 7 disk in the DVD CD drive and let it boot so that I can then run the repair on the computer. I borrowed an OS 7 install disk and the same thing happens. After a series of checking the system I am informed that nothing wrong was found. If I leave the disk in the drive, even through rebooting, the machine runs just fine. If I take the disk out of the drive, I am dead in the water until I put it back in the drive, reboot and let the tests start over again and all is fine.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI turned the laptop off by holding the power on button depressed for as long as it took to power down.I have done this many times before.This time the laptop will not start windows after power up. Win 7 offers 2 options, normal or startup repair.Both appear to run but stay on permanently and neither will start windows. Tried booting using the repair disk and laptop will not boot from CD. CD spins initially but without booting. Only thing I can see that is not normal is that after several seconds trying to boot the Disk led remains permanently on, at least to my eyes.I have removed the battery, powered up without the battery,tried different repair CD all to no avail.

It all started when I was using Revo/Uninstall to uninstall Office 2010 from my hard drive. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have installed a licensed copy of Office 2007 (Student Edition), which was working just fine. Revo identified 2 registry entries that I believed applied to 2010 that could be deleted as part of the uninstall procedure. I told it to delete the entries and then, having second thoughts, I canceled the uninstall. I saw, however, that the icon for Office 2010 had disappeared from my list of "All Programs" (although certain related Windows 2010 icons still remain.I attempted an "System Restore" only to find that the "System Restore" function for each of my hard drive partitions was set to "off." When I tried to turn them on, I got the following messsages.
