Computer was was suffering from a corrupted NTFS.sys file. (see http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...ml#post3285980)
and I didn't have the recovery disk from when I got the OS, so I used Elvandril's recovery disk thing to fix it. After I did this, XP started to load, but then it goes to a blue screen that says "***STOP: 0x00000071 (0x0000000, 0x0000000, 0x0000000, 0x0000000)

If this is the first time you have seen this stop error 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 XP updates you need.
If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. disable bios memory option such as cacheing or shadowing. if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components restart your computer and press f8 to select advanced startup."
I'm running XP Pro SP2, and when I tried booting up in Safe Mode, it still came to this screen.I wasn't able to backup my Hard drive,
solve this without having to reformat my Hard Drive?
I using windows XP Pro SP2, one running Pro and the other running Home. All appeared to be well until I requested chkdsk to run on next re-boot. Both computers (I was doing both simultaniously) came up with the same blue screen error:
This even happens when I start in Safe mode. I looked up MS knowledgebase and found article 815021 which deals with all sorts of problems but near the end says that this problem was fixed in XP with Service Pack 2. As that is what was just installed,
Major virus infection on computer resulted in fdisk and reformat. I used Win 98SE to fdisk and reformat, as I couldn't for the life of me find a format on the Dell Operating reinstallation CD. (could be first mistake)
Used Win 98 SE startup diskette to start system w/CD rom support.
Navigated to D: Drive which containe the XP OS reinstallation. Navigated to I386 folder and typed WINNT to begin reinstalling files.
Start WIn XP setup and began copying files to HD.
Screen shows: The MS-DOS based portion of setup is complete. Setup will now restart you computer. After your computer restarts, WIN XP Setup will continue. Remove floppy, etc.
Computer restarts - did inspection of system, shows Win XP Setup, loading files (drivers, controllers, etc.)
Starting windows - Welcom to Setup: 1. Setup - press enter 2. Repair (using Repair Console) 3. Quite - F3
Pressed enter
Next message:
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer. This may involve running a mfg supplied diagnostics or setup program.
Setup cannot continue Press F3
System then attempts reboot, attempts installation again by booting from HD. Then error message:
Dell Deminsion 4600 series p4 processor @2.4 GHz 512 MD DDR SDRAM @ 400 MHz 128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card 80GB 7200 RMP Ultra ATA HD Win XP Pro SP1 48x/24x/48x CD-RW Drive SoundBlaster Live! w/ 5.1 support
I have looked on MS site for the error code and think I understand that the problem is either a hd controller device driver is not installing from the Dell Reinstallation CD and therefore stops the installation of the software. How I can possibly extract and install the driver setup may be looking for.
STOP 0x00000050 (0x8CCC1345, 0x0000001, 0x808A65A1, 0x00000000) These both happen when installing windows, either when at 95% of copying files or when booting into windows.
I have a home built pc with an Asus P5Q-E motherboard, E4600 cpu, 4g's ram and a WD 640g hard drive. The HD is brand new as of 1 week ago. I formatted all partitions to NTFS. Partitions are C-49g, E-244g and F-303g. I've separated the software programs from system software. I had not done this before, but it has no bearing on my problem. OS is XP Pro w/SP3 and all updates and patches that were needed have been installed. Had a problem initially with installing updates but fixed the installer with a method found on the MS Help and Support site.
Hard drive is thrashing around constantly. The HD light is blinking around 1 per second during idle times. When at idle Task manager shows 99% cpu idling. No activity shows up anywhere including I/O read and writes. I already turned off Indexing Service. I tweaked according to the suggestiosn at Blackviper's site and also used Harden-it for a bit more security. Nothing I have done has helped with the thrashing. I'm a novice and really don't have a clue of how to fix this.
I read of someone else w/the same problem. He unplugged his Optical SATA drive and the thrashing stopped. I tried that and the flashing light slowed down then stopped but the system was slow and unstable. I re-connected the drive and the pc works ok except for the thrashing. The person who first tried this never posted again.
I Googled this for a while and have found that this is not specific to my hardware. Seems to be an XP problem.
Running Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows XP SP3.Have annoying pop-up ads that open new browser windows constantly.Tried about 5 different antivirus freeware packages to no avail. (AVG 8, Kaspersky, etc.)
My wrist is getting sore by this doubling or tripling of mouse-clicks to get rid of the pop-up's that has the audacity to steal focus constantly. Make my day and tell me how I get rid if it.
I am running Win 2000. My computer will restart (no hanging even, just turn off and back on) while I'm looking at flash media on the net, using photo/art programs, or viewing a word document with pictures in it. Mostly media related things. It also crashes for running defrag or disk cleanup.
When it restarts it's a blue screen stop error. I don't recall what it said exactly, but it's not difficult to get it back. If I keep restarting, I'll keep getting that error. If I wait a minute or so and then restart, it'll come on correctly.
Win 2000 is on D and Win 98 is on C. When 2000 crashes it does something to C because then 98 won't start untill 2000 comes on and repairs the C drive. But now 98 won't come on at all. If I turn on 98 I get an error, so then I'll try 2000 but it won't start for a while after 98 crashes. I don't see why crashes on D affect C and vice versa.
That probably wasn't enough to tell what's wrong.what I should do?
Continually getting STOP: 0x0000007B when installing XP on an Acer Aspire E700. Drive had Vista installed. Have deleted all partitions - drive is empty.
I believe it's related to the SATA drive, but haven't figured a way around it, and time is money.
last night i installed the software for my sony mini dv handycam to transfer my video to disc. the software is poor at best and did not offer dvd burn, just video cd. there seemed to be an issue finding the driver for the cam but after a second attempt it seemed to work.a found a program called ulead that captures video and burns to dvd. i downloaded a trail version and played with it for a bit and than decided to delete it. shortly after when i connected my digital camera via usb and ran picasa 2 windows crashes and gives me a stop message.
Basically MS is stopping updates on XP Service Pack 2 so no updates to 32bit/64bit. This Means the Only Option is Windows XP SP3 which is 32bit only! If we want DirectX 11 we have to update to Windows Vista 32bit or 64Bit!
I am trying to upgrade from Windows 98 SE, but when I try and install XP Pro it goes for a few minutes then I get a blue screen with the following error ***STOPx0000007B (0xFCC3B63C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
What is partition table (MBR) When I first turn the power on, it says boot from CD (I wait), the n there is two options: XP Pro I press enter on this one I think this could be why i have a C and D drive. How do I stop booting from the CD. If I don't have the CD in the drive its wouldn't work. do I get my computer to work normally (so I could just turn on the power, so it load up and goes straight to the login screen

Im having trouble with my mouse not working in all places. Sometime it will and sometime it doesn't. Ive even replaced it and it is still not working in all place. Mostly it happens inside a box.
I only have one account on my windows xp, but from the past few days, windows has started asking username and password everytime it starts up, it's strange why it suddenly started happening and also that i don't have any password for the account, so each time i have to press "enter" to come to the desktop. I want to stop this?
Whenever I attempt to reinstall Windows I receive a stop error warning about a possible virus to instructing me to remove any newly installed hard drives and/ or controllers. I elliminated hard drives disk by disk but was met with the same results. I then elliminated all HDs and my SCSI controller, booting from my XP CDROM.
every so often on my friend's computer explorer.exe just stops working and the cpu goes up to 100% and everything takes for ever. the only way we have gotten it to quit is to restart the computer, but then it comes back later. does anyone have any ideas or solutions to the problem?
Installing windows on a pc built for my friend and it comes up with a stop code. stop d1. driver_irql_not_less_or_equal then it states
acpi.sys address fc40d3b4 base at fc3fb000
which i think refers to a stop a1 as well.
ive tried using 2 different type of memory on the m-board and still get the same error. there are no other hardware besides a cdrom and hdisk, mosue and keyboard. i did have an old logitech mouse but swapped that as i read that can cause problems too.
i dont know how to go about fixing this as their is a hotfix for acpi problems but thatr equires u to actually have windows on teh pc in teh first place i.e safe mode.
i can get into bios and it performs POST no problems. the only other thing is it boots fromcdrom but it says no emulation.
Since I installed SP2 everything seems OK except I now notice that some web pages will load only part way then stop loading. If I use Firefox and go the same page it loads immediately. Is there some security setting I should aware of that prevents some pages from loading? The last page I had a problem with was one associated with Paint Shop Pro - hardly a suspicious website. I like Firefox, but unfortunately my password manager (Norton) doesn't work with it.
All of a sudden my HP notebook started to give the following message while starting, I am getting the following error message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x8239B008, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)."
When I restart my computer, Windows tries to load, but I get the screen where I choose whether to start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Last Known Good Configuration, or Start Windows Normally. I have tried to start all ways, and each time return to the 1st error message (above). I can not get to a prompt to run a CHKDSK, and am lost in what to try next.
It was initially having problems loading her desktop and profile, sometimes rebooting itself several times after the log-in before successfully starting windows. I attempted to export the registry this morning in regedit and as soon as it started, it rebooted. Now it always gives a stop screen no matter what start up option I try stop: 0x00000024 (0x001902fe, 0xf89b16dc, 0xf89b13d8, 0xf8171f81) ntfs.sys - address f8171f81 base at f8122000, datestamp 41107eea
I downloaded the microsoft startup disks and even booting with all of them, when I type r for the recovery console it takes me right to the same blue screen. From what I've read it seems like chkdsk might fix things but I cannot get a command prompt. Perhaps the Maxtor harddrive is failing and I downloaded Seagate diagnostics for DOS because their windows version isn't going to help me since I can't start that. I booted off the disk and get a screen full of mostly general info but then it tells me the command interpreter is not found and wants me to give it the full path for command.com. It can't recognize anything I try to type here but I don't know what syntax to even use here. If I can come up with an ASR disk from another XP Pro PC, I'm wondering would running the automated system restore found on the first microsoft disk be an option? Is there any other way to get to run chkdsk because I can't even get into recovery console?
sometimes if i stop using a browser window for about 10mins, the browser seems to stop seeing the internet (until i reboot). this happens with both internet explorer and firefox. it brings up 'cannot find server' etc, as if i had no active connection. although all my other programs are using the internet fine, MSN messenger, limewire, download managers etc i recently reinstalled, im running windows xp pro with SP2 and all the latest updates. and have internet explorer 6, and mozilla firefox 1.5. i have an ADSL connection thru a wireless router.
my system is XP Pro with two drives CD and DVD writer. My CD/DVD auto run suddenly stop working. It was working before last week. But now when i insert any CD or DVD in my drives, i won't get auto run prompt window anymore. Who can i make it work again?
