No Screen Appears Select Safe Mode

Nov 28, 2007

My dad has a Sony Vaio labtop that he bought from his friend at work with the operating system and all the software already installed. It has a single account named Owner that he clicks on which usually allows him to log-on, he never had a password. He clicks the icon, it appears to start logging on then suddendly it will say logging off, saving settings, then returns us back to the main log-on screen.I tried to start in safe mode by pressing F8 while the computer is intially turning on, but all the labtop does is make this loud beeping noise and starts up normally. No screen appears for me to select safe mode or anything.

Click Stand By Button, Computer Goes To Hibernate?

Jul 15, 2006

when I click on the Stand By button my computer well hibernate. I have been using Stand By for 3 years now. The button actually says Stand By, It says it is going into stand by mode. But it goes into Hibernate mode. Before when I put it in Stand By mode, the fans would all turn off. Now the fan doesnt turn off at all. From what I understand is that Hibernate mode saves your current settings. I have click the Stand By button a number of times with my web browser open and after I wake up from stand by (or what it is says is stand by) my web browser is still on the screen.

Stand By - Unable To Turn Computer Back On

Aug 14, 2009

I have a Gateway computer with Windows XP. I believe my computer keeps going into stand by mode. The power button is orange instead of green. When this happens I am not able to turn my computer back on. I have to unplug everything. When I plug it back in, the light is usually still orange but I just keep hitting the on and off button until it finally turns green and the computer will start up. I will now shut my computer down at night but when I get up in the morning the light on the computer is orange again.

Unable To Select A Printer

Jan 26, 2005

Running WindowsXP with SP2. Word 2003. OE6. IE6. Have HP 1210 all-in-one and Canon BJC2010. Both work fine. Problem when I wish to print a document, or e-mail text, or whatever, and click on ctrl+P, or use File menu, or whatever, I always get the printer I do not want to use. I use the HP for scanning and copying, particularly in color, and prefer the Canon for regular printing from Word or OE or IE. But somehow each time, I get the HP rather than the Canon. Now on the window for printing they always have a list of options, so this is not a crisis, just a request to lower the nuisance titre a bit. There should be a place to go to select a default printer.

Unable To Select Minimized Windows

Nov 28, 2006

I have noticed since one of my last windows update that I am having a problem clicking once a minimized window to bring it on top. I literally have to click the minimized window three times before I can get it to come on top.The first time I click it shows the minimized window depressed then highlighted, the 2nd time I click it goes through the motion of minimizing an already minimized window (you actually see it minimizing); and the 3rd time I click brings the window to the front.

Unable To Select Specific Program To Open Files

Feb 2, 2007

Recently my father downloaded a Windows update thing that included the newest version of Windows Media Player, and since then I have had trouble getting my preferred media player to work with files. I can still open up it up and select a file, but it is impossible to add it to the "Open with" list, which is annoying. No error messages pop up or anything, but when I go to Browse in the "Open with" window and select the program, it just reverts to the (unchanged) "Open with" window.

Sound Icon Grey - Farstone Caption

Nov 4, 2005

Something happened I got blue screen while booting saying if this is the first time reboot. I rebooted but the same big message with blue screen. Rebooted and then from BIOS changed the priority of the boot and started to repair but ultimately had to reinstall the OS (XP Pro). The installment got successful. But my sound icons was gray and there were all yellow items in the device manager under sound-video category.

I installed all the programs in the Intel Express Installer CD that came with the mother board. This installed RestoreIT Lite also. Now rebooted the PC immediately after giving the Administrative password I get a screen with FarStone caption on the upper right of the screen and then that is it. Nothing happens further.

Grey Task Bar And Start Menu / Themes Is It Trojan

Mar 24, 2008

I would be very grateful for some of your input. We have recently suffered from several Trojan viruses and an attempt to install Sony Ericsson's phone suite. I have hopefully got rid of both. Though I still get the occasional crash of win23 services. My AVG is up to date and has not found any more viruses and there is no detected spy ware. However as a result the task bar, start menu and IE have all gone Grey.
