My windows was not loading properly and so i used windows pro sp2 cd and repaired my current installation. Once that was done when i tried to update it didn't happened and so i went to microsoft.com and downloaded a fix patch and it worked. After that my ca internet security 2008 suite was not loading anymore with windows and so i just unistalled it and reinstalled it and windows started to crash. Now when it crash it gives me multiple of blue screen and nothing till i restart and same thing continues.
My wife is trying to use my son's laptop which we have just had fixed due to having loads of viruses.The laptop would then not even start up, so I re-installed Windows (XP Home) and everything seemed fine, as it would boot up onto the desktop and have all the icons.No matter how long I leave it (even left for 4hours one day) I cannot load ANYTHING. When I click an icon the hour glass will appear and then thats it. It won't even let me switch it off via Start.She really needs to get on to it for work. But if a re-install won't work. Is there anything that will?
I run on Windows 2000 professional.Intermittently my computer on its own will restart. The only consistency is that I am online using broadband.For a completely different reason I just reinstalled Windows 2000.
Only since I installed the game messenger has my computer been crashing. Tonight was the second time. It says my VTdisp display driver has stopped working correctly. Something like that. Then my desktop icons are huge and the color of everything is all messed up and I then have to reboot.Any advice, my computer runs XP is only a year old and ran perfectly until this happen. I forgot to create a restore point before installing the game. I am scared about what could happen to my computer.
Well I have a dell computer that crashed,and my intelligent brother thought it would be smart to use a emachine restore disc to fix it.Needless to say this did not help. Is there anyone out there that can give me any info on getting this computer back up.When I turn it on it comes up to a screen that has 7 options:,boot from hard drive,boot from ide cd rom,ide diagnostic,and a few other choices.However no mater what you click on it comes up and says "trouble loading operating systems.I must say I do not know much about this.I guess my question is.Can it be saved with out changeing hard drive. I have a disc from dell that is labeled "operating system"and another that is labeled.Drivers and hardware
I have exhausted all my normal possibilities and I could use some help. Anyway, I was installing XP on a wiped hard drive and the computer froze in the middle. No it will not start in XP.It just restarts.It will start in safe mode, but what should I do from there? I already ran repair, same thing happens.I tried to format and reinstall, same thing.
I need some real help here because I am baffled. I installed Panda Titanium antivirus 2005 on my bosses computer. When I went to restart it after the install it wouldn't restart it would get stuck at the blue welcome screen. Tried booting it into safe mode and it wouldn't even boot there. So finally I had to use the Windows XP disk and do a recovery. Well when I did that she lost all of her applications. I had to reload Office, Adobe, and it said that the Panda Antivirus was not installed correctly.So I tired to reinstall it and I get an error of Class not registered.I hoping not to have to do format and reinstall Windows Xp but I think there is some corruption in the computer.
Gaming, music/photo storage, internet surfing, music making, and video editing just to name a few. Basically, what im saying is my computer is my "lifeforce" . I generally would claim i am generally computer literate. But, I cant find a reason for this to happen. ANYWAY!I turned it on one day, having done nothing to presumably harm a computer, and it goes to the windows loading screen with the blue bar and stay there forever, seriously i timed it the other day, from 1-9 pm it was "loading".I scanned everything while running in "safe mode". no problems. I tried restoring it to an earlier date said it restored successfully, but still sat at loading screen forever.
I cannot remember word for word as it came and went off that fast.This is what happened. I did the restart as told and it did come back but then it happened a third time and upon the restart the computer will not come back on. Or let me explain further...the actual computer will turn on when I push the button, but no picture or desk top or anything will come on on the monitor. I tried another monitor to rule that out and still nothing. I also was told to try restarting in safe mode but still get nothing coming up loading on monitor just a black black monitor screen. I really need to get this back up if not for anything else but to save all my lost stuff before I have to get rid of it.
Last night my girlfriends daughter tried to install a game on her PC (one of these tycoon games) it froze half way through installing and then switched itself off. When trying to restart it, it asks whether to restart in Normal or Safe mode etc and then it gets as far as the Microsoft Windows XP screen and then restarts itself again.It gets to the same stage everytime and restarts. It won’t allow me to start in safe or normal mode.
A while back my computer crashed and I had to do a recovery. Now all of my pictures are gone and my wife is pissed. We did back-up some of the pictures, but were missing almost a year and halfs worth including my son's birthdays and first t-ball games. Is there any way to get them back?
I decided to run a defrag on my computer before going to bed one night. When i woke up the next day my computer continued to reboot itself. It would reach the windows logo screen and run that for a while then i would stall for a little bit and restart. I then would shut it off cause i didnt want to mess with it and it would continually boot itself up and start this process over again. I'm running Windows XP Pro with an Athlon XP processor. I have 2-120 gig hard drives on a RAID. I have tried to do a repair with the Windows XP disk but the disk doesn't recognize the version of Windows already on the drive like it would usually do.
I had a windows auto update shield icon appear I clicked it and downloaded the update. after it downloaded it said I needed to restart computer..click here. I did and my computer would not restart or start black screen would click down seconds and try again but it would not start. Im'SURE the update caused this, as I have not done any other thing to cause it.I had to use system recover and LOST everthing and now I can't get back online till Monday I need a internet tech to come out because I can't get back on.
When I go to start up my Windows XP, where there should be a welcome screen it reads:Unable to Locate Component This application has failed to start becayse SHLWAPI.dll was not found. Re installing the application may fix the problem.
My computer crashed and I rebuilt the machine using the old HD (with XP installed) as a second HD. I wanted to move Pics, music etc onto the new HD and then wipe it clean. I was able to move anything that was in a shared folder and anything in Program Files. Anytime I tried to move any file under a user password protected , I was denied access. I tried to reboot the computer using the 2nd HD. I got to a window that had the option of Safe Mode or last known good config. Neither of these would load Windows. I then tried to boot with my Windows XP disc. I entered the area for repair Windows, but have no idea what the Administrative Password is. I tried every combination I could think of. Last night a friend tried to move the files with DOS without success.
I expected the whole thing to be shot considering what the case looked like. I ended replacing the case and basically rebuilding it to see what all didn't work. Well, it ended up booting up just fine! Thing is, for some reason it seems to be running very slow. It seemed too coincidental that RAM was suddenly getting chewed up, but I upgraded to 1G anyhow, as it really needed it. It's still very slow, and seems to get hung a lot. Upon doing almost anything, the CPU gets pinned at 100%. I ran a little CPU test utility, and it comes back that it is running at that right speed, but it shows CPU to memory transfer rate at 340M/sec., which seems really slow! I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it possible that the mobo is damaged but is still working, only slowly?
Came home to a computer that has a blank screen. Rebooted and she goes through the bootup but remains blank. Restarted in safe mode and got the same results. This all comes on the end of battling a virus.
My computer crashed and when it rebooted none of the icons were clickable on the login screen. I held in the power button and it restarted. When the login screen loaded the options were clickable but my attention was caught by the fact that the "turn off computer" option was labeled "turn off mine not yours!". So my question is, how alarmed should I be by this? I clicked on the option and turned off my computer and unplugged my internet cable.
I got the blue screen of death on my Gateway laptop. I tried every option such as booting to safe mode, last good configuration...etc to get windows to boot but no luck...once I get the windows xp logo it changes to blue death screen.I purchased a laptop hard drive enclosure and pluged the laptop hard drive into it. Next I attached the hard drive enclosure via USB to my desktop but good not read the data on the hard drive. The laptop has a Recovery Partition and Operating System Partition. I am able to both partitions as drive letter "f" and "g" for example, with drive "f" being the Recovery partition and drive "g" the operating system. When I click on the drive "g" the system locks up and I have to unplug the hard drive enclosure and start over again with no luck.
My whole computer crashed..so I had to restore it to its factory default..I need to have xp pro and office pro on my computer for school...but I lost the product IDs...what can I do?? My university won't give me another office or windows xp disk and I have a paper and presentation that needs turned in on monday..and I can't open them or edit it...so does anyone know what I do if I lose my product id??
I've got a bunch of problems with my windows XP home right now:To start, the start bar (where it should be blue and bubbly) is the same as windows classic, which is odd.My computer crashed twice on friday (blue screen). My computer keeps telling me that I'm not connected to the internet even though I am (I use wireless cable internet). In the start menu, where it says "all programs" with the arrow, that wont show me all my programs.
My mothers computer crashed. she gave it to some kid to get the itunes files off of it. the kid deleted all the files on the disk except the user profiles and their documents because Windows Xp write protects them. I need to get those files off of the drive. How do I go about doing this?
my comp crashed, now it is going very slow, keeps over heating and getting pop-ups, i was told it could be a virus or a worm. it has windows 2000 im pretty sure
I have a windows 2000 server crash. Assumed I had a power failure this weekend. The monitor also died. I replaced monitor. I hear the computer start up. Power to system, but no visuals.I do have a boot disk made on 3.5 floppy disk. What are some simple tips or things to do before I begin to restore the system.I have checked all power cords.Computer is AMD with raid system unsure of rest.
I can't seem to get anything to work. I wanted to check Mcafee to make sure I didn't let it expire and allow a virus issue. Wouldn't open. Rebooted several times with no change. The lower Taskbar is off the screen and I can't seem to get it back, so no start button to access programs not on the desktop. I can open " my computer " but it won't tell me If I have an internet connection. I think I must have connectivity.
I am new to this board hope i am doing this right. I have a Dell demision desktop which was only a little over a yr old. It was working fine then all of a sudden nothing it was frozen on blue screen i tried to restart then reboot and i tired to restore but nothing would work. I worked on it for 4 days straight until i got so mad i went to best buy and got a new computer but now i would like to use old one for kids to play on but i tried to reinstall from the disk that came with computer which it says that it did. I lost all my info on computer but i thought ok now i can get it going but it is so slow. I have not got it networked to connect to internet but i hate to spend money on stuff to do it if i cant figure out what is making it so slow.
My computer crashed and when i started it back up i got a black screen saying 'system32 is corrupt or missing' or something similar to that, so we reformatted it, now there are problems.It refuses to update. It was reformatted early yesterday, but it hasn't run a single update.i can't go to the Microsoft website and manually download the important updates, because after i hit download i get a 'page cannot be displayed' notice.Internet explorer won't open. not a big deal for me because i use Firefox, but my dad uses IE. when i try to open it i get a 'IE has encountered a problem and needs to close' notice. No page pops up or anything. I've been trying to convince my dad to get a new computer for years, and he always said 'not until this one's completely dead'
I seem to have run into some bad luck with my computer.I use this computer for school as I'm a year 8 student. I was given a TOSHIBA Portege M700 Tablet computer. It has a sticker on it saying windows vista basic but my school puts xp on all the computers. My laptop is running Windows XP pro tablet pc edition 2005 SP2. Only recently has my computer been irresponsive and crashed.My computer has a Intel centrino vPro proccessor, I'm pretty sure it's 1.94 Ghz. My laptop also has 1GB of ram. The explorer.exe process stopping responding. The system freezing.The system failing to complete a task The system not responding after only 6 minutes of inactivity Internet explorer not working.
I decided to make the move and give SP3 a try,I shouldn't have bothered!All went well, and the system rebooted, well into the boot sequence I was greeted by a blue screen:STOP: C0000139 {Entry Point Not Found}The procedure entry point GdiGetBitmapBitSize could not be located in the dynamic link library GDI32.dll. Naturally, I fired up Acronis True Image and restored this morning's image, but I figure at some point they'll try to push this update down on patch Tuesday
