I've recently been getting this weird error when i perform a full scan on my computer, using ANY anti virus scanning program(TrendMicro,OnlinePanda,AVG). It leads into a blue screen saying / A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this stop screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition, and I have recently been having frequent crash errors. Everything seems to be running fine and suddenly the screen goes blue and a long message shows that said that the computer is shutting down to prevent a crash.
the computer freezes at start-up on the blue screen that shows the Windows XP logo, and the words "Windows is starting up". I found that I can navigate through this at startup by tapping the F8 key rapidly before that screen appears. I tried the System Restore to a date earlier than the administrator's work, but no help. Is their a repair or restore procedure that will cure this problem?
anyone that knows what I can do to fix this problem would help me out alot. I am trying to upgrade my dads computer from XP Home which he has to XP Pro which I brought for him. I go thru all the options to upgrade and the computer restarts and goes to bluescreen and gives me this message."Setup cannot find a cd-rom drive. make sure your cd-rom is on and properly connected to your computer. if it is a SCSI cd-rom drive make sure your SCSI devices are properly terminated. see your computer or SCSI adapter documentation for more info. setup cannot continue, to quit setup press F3"..I tried setting the DVD Drives to Boot first in BIOS and that did not work, I even tried removing the BIOS Battery for a little to reset BIOS and that just made my speakers work bad for some reason, now they are raspy. I just cant figure this one out, luckaly there are people out there that can teach me,
I installed windows XP on a system that I am servicing.The floppy drive wasnt installed correctly in the first place, and windows XP kept crashing to a blue screen, then restarting.I unchecked the Reboot automatically after system failure checkbox and recorded the error.Its written below..It doesnt happen at any specific time, or when a specific application is open..It did it after the first fresh install, so i did ANOTHER fresh Install, and its doing it again.
everytime I start up my laptop this error message comes up. I ran registry mechanic, virus, and spyware, and cannot figure out what it is. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks in advance to whoever knows what's wrong!
when loading a pc given to me it will not load windows and gives a message to reboot from boot up cd.i do not have this a was given to me and the floppy drive seems inoperable.
I did "F6" to install the Intel RAID driver using a floppy disk created from the motherboard support CD. The STOP message/blue screen appeared after XP loaded all the drivers. It is a clean installation on 2 new HDDs, so I assume the error is not caused by viruses. Yes, I did upgraded my BIOS to the latest version beforehand. The SATA data cables are new that came with the motherboard. Yes, I have also read and printed out MS KB324103, but I am still not sure what the problem(s) is/are Does XP Home Edition support RAID1 configuration? I read from Western Digital knowledge base answer ID 282 that "Windows XP Home Edition does not support dynamic disks." Is it true? Does it mean that I will have to buy XP Professional for RAID1 (mirrored)? Should I take out the video card and modem card before installing XP?
I've been having this problem for about three weeks now and it's really starting to get annoying Every time I start my computer, that message that comes up when your computer is unexpectedly shows and I can choose to start with either safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration or start windows normally. Every single one of these that I choose, the exact same thing happens:The Windows loading screen will come up and the boxes will go from left to right in that rectangle under the windows logo and then all of a sudden a blue screen with some text on it will flash really fast and then the computer will restart. I can't read any of the text because it restarts too fast.
Got friends dell system which will notboot up properly. It is running Win XP home edition. System manages to load past the black windows XP logo screen then changes to blue XP logon screen and hangs up. System does not completely hang up as still able to move cursor around screen.
My PC was running perfectly until a few days ago. When I switched on my PC recently, the following error message appeared on the screen:'Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows root>system32 toskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file'As I am not a techie, could somebody please instruct me what I should do step by step in order to get my PC going again? I will thank everybody in advance for any help/assistant accorded.
I have a serious problem with my laptop. I have a Windows XP Home Edition Compaq laptop and there is a message that keeps me from accessing my computer files that states the following:explorer.exe -Application Error: The instruction at "0x700000000" referenced memory at "0x700000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program Then when I click on either choice, the desktop goes blank and I cannot access my start menu because whenever I try to do so, the message comes up again and sometimes the drwtsn32.dll (I think that's it) pops up on the screen. I would like some help and advice to fix this problem.
I cleaned the whole computer with malware bytes, spybot S&D and have spyblaster, ie-spyad and scriptdefender, also norton antivirus. Cleans some stuff like myway mywebsearch and Hotbar no problem computer is clean. The problem is a stop error that stops it for shutting down.You can start it up fine and do what ever you want to do. But when you got to shut it down from start> shutdown>shutdown it pops up the BSOD with stop error. Haven't put in any new hardware or software, everytning is up to date. I unchecked the box for the auto restart made no difference.
I keep trying to install Windows XP (tried both professional & home edition) and when it starts checking my system, it gives me the following error (the error comes when it is checking (which is the 4rth messsage on bottom of window), "Setup is loading files (Kernel DLL)".I then get the error message "File setupdd.sys could not be loaded. The error code is 4. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit"I have searched high and low to find Error Code 4 in microsoft's web page and have found nothing.
My sister's Windows XP Home Edition isn't loading. It turns on, appears with a screen that asks to pick between Safe Mode etc, Last Known Config. & Start normally... I've tried all three, safe mode starts to load but doesn't get to the log in screen. Last known and start normally sounds like it is beginning to load but it goes straight to a blank screen.
At one stage, after I turned off and on the computer, the screen alerts me that the CMOS settings are wrong, so I go into the settings and the time and date is wrong...I adjust these to the correct settings, restart and still, nothing loads.
I recently tryed installing wubi linux hoping that this would be an optimum way to install ubuntu with out getting errors with my XP installation. But it seems ever since then I now can't access XP. As soon as I login I get my background and my cursor, there is no GUI. I can press Ctrl-Alt-Del to get to task manager, but I can't run anything from it. I can't safe boot, but i can safe boot with cmd. Last known config won't work, chkdsk doesn't make any difference, repair installs don't seem to make a difference and the only thing I can physically notice different is the absence of the Explorer.exe service. I checked my C drive and it's in the correct directory, it's just not starting. I booted into safe mode with cmd and ran msconfig, and explorer.exe isn't listed there either. So I am guessing there is an issue there, and I think that is the root problem; reinstalling XP is a total total last resort. I'd greatly appreciate it if anybody could help, or have any suggestions.
I would be grateful if you could give advise regarding the following Event System error: EventSystem The COM Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was C0000005 from line 44 of d:qxp_slpcomcom1xsrcevent s ier1eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error. My PC is also very slow and takes a long time to boot up - could this be the cause?
I have a desktop pc with XP Home Edition. It's an HP and it looks like there are two operating systems on it. One is the regular XP Home Edition load and the other seems to be the Recovery one if you run the Recovery utility that HP offers at boot up. I'm not sure what to do to fix this. If I try to run the recovery from HP it says that some data might be lost which I do not want. Is there any way to fix this hal.dll file using some type of utility disk? Or any other way?
I am using a new Windows XP home edition. i wanted to know how do i remove the two options i get before booting my system 1. Start Windows With Boot screen And 2. Start Windows Normally (Although Both Boot up similarly)
I currently have xp pro loaded on my computer but it was a bad install and i want to install xp home which i like a bit more. When i go to install xp home, it won't let me because it automatically assumes i want to upgrade and i can't choose a clean install. I can't boot from my cd rom so i can't go through bios.
I have XP Media Center Edition 2002 or 2005 (not sure which) edition on a dell desktop and I have problems with Media Edition so I'd like to go to plain XP home edition. If I buy and run the XP Home upgrade, will that work on top of MCE?
I recently received a laptop that someone needs me to fix. The problem is that it seems at some point that some kind of update was interrupted during the process and the system will not load unless a windows xp professional edition disk is inserted to complete the update. I also cannot get it to start in safe mode. Unfortunately, I only have a home edition disk. Can I reformat XP pro with a home edition disk? If not, are there any other options?
I installed XP home from an AMD image to an Intell system. It seemed to go fine,windows was activated and I finished installing drivers and programs.I installed SP3 and started to have problems with an occasional blue screen and reboot. I searched online for " XP Home reboot" and found referance to the same problem but in reverse. INTEL TO AMD in sp3 when intelppm.sys tries to load and the AMD system doesnt recognize it.I managed to get the computer to load windows and removed sp3. Now I dont get a blue screen but it continualy reboots. I cant even get into safe mode. I dont want to use the restoration program because I am afraid it wont recognize the new mother board and CPU.
when opening windows xp the screen gets to the windows xp with the little green light going back and forth in the rectangle box. this green light goes back and forth 3 or 4 times then freezes and you cant go further then that.
When booting PC up, there is a problem with URLMON.DLL, i took the harddrive out and copied over the file, and was given information that some other DLL files were damaged also, i painstakingly copied the files over, untill it booted up, ran all the scans I could - MS AntiSpy, Adaware, Norton AV, and Norton WinDoctor, Spy Subtract. Rebooted the computer and the First URLMON.DLL error message came up and would not allow me back into windows.
Today I tried to update a notebook (Gateway W3223-Ul1) from Xp Home To Xp Pro. Now the computer wont even start I get this blue Screen (look at photo).I can only get the system to start in safe mode, trying to start it normally puts me in an endless look of blue screens.
Decided to do the semi annual reinstall of XP after boot time got up to 9 mins and shutdown got to 5 mins.So nothing was really broken.Its a no-brand desktop machine based on GA-M55Plus motherboard. Have a main disk SATA II and two more in a Raid-0 array.Prior to starting had reassembled the latest drivers for motherboard, video card, printers, mouse etc and put on a USB stick..Disconnected the Raid array, blew away the partition on the main disk and installed XP from original media (which has SP2 included)
All went pretty smoothly but after about 6 hours started getting BSOD - its still too quick to read KERNEL something.along with the advice to uninstall recent additions / drivers etc.This happens after a few minutes or a few hours.Well the last thing it did was 71 updates from Microsoft!! (Including the cursed IE-8 which had previously caused grief on this machine)I can think of two things that have changed since before.
1. the 'latest' drivers 2. the order things were applied
Can you help with any advice as to the order things should be installed. Whilst waiting for MS to get around to delivering updates I was installing the drivers etc. Starting with the chipset and video drivers.So is it best to wait hours to days for MS to deliver all the junk? (without the mobo drivers its a bit average)Can you get an image of XP with SP3 included - better yet all the 71 other vitally important updates? Do you think it would help to wind back the auto installed updates and try and get them in small chunks?(and why cant you download once and use many times!)
After a current power outage, my screen came up blue with the following information: unmountable_boot_volume..blue screen reads:if problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software(nothing new or added). disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disale compnents, restart you computer, press F8 to select advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.All this has been tried and the blue screen continues to come up.
Man, my computer for the last two weeks have been crashing like an emo. I mean, when I play GTA: San Adreas, in 20 minutes, I get a BSOD with a stop error. When I put hardware acceleration to full, in a half an hour, I get a BSOD with a similar error. Believe me, I got three kinds of errors, and some were from different time. I believe the problem either came from the either the PSU, new 512 mb of ram, old 512, CPU, system board, or the graphic card. I'll try to post the error as best as I can. So, is there a solution to this? Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) This is one of them, but there another one with KMODE that I can't seem to remember. Also, sometimes, after it tries to recover from a serious error, the computer shuts down during the bootup before I can choose which XP version I can choose. Also, I hate to say this, but I'm not using a legit windows copy sp1, but I have updated to sp2.
