No Standby Mode - Receive Error - ATI Rage Pro Accelerated Graphics Port
May 24, 2005I'm trying to find an answer for a friend of mine that recently upgraded his computer from windows 98 se to windows xp prof. One problem I can't seem to solve for him is that I can't get his system to go into standby mode. I receive this error: On a computer that has an ATI Rage Pro accelerated graphics port (AGP) 2X video adapter installed, when you attempt to put the computer into Standby mode, you may receive the following error message: The device driver for the "ATI Technologies, Inc. 3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X" device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver. This behavior occurs because Windows XP does not provide power management support for this video adapter. I've already updated his driver to this one: Windows XP Display Driver version 5.10.2600.6010 And I still receive the same message..I'm really wondering if it's something else causing it.

May 27, 2006After two weeks of fighting, I finally got our lap top to reformat and Reload XP Home. I have followed the steps on re-installiing XP that was posted several times, my problem is it has been "stuck" on the wallpaper screen, with the bottom task bar loaded and the recycle bin icon present. The light indicating the drive is busy has stayed on and I can hear the disk moving. Does it normally take an hour and half to get this far after pressing the " finish" button on the install?

View 4 Replies View RelatedXp Firewall Greyed Out?
May 23, 2005Lately i've been battling a virus infection with a w32.spybot.worm. Thanks to symantec antivirus corporate edition (which can detect but never repair) and microsoft antispyware software i've eliminated it. Yet today a new infection popped up from a file "eraseme_12604.exe" in my system32 (i dont know how it got there). I figured I might as well enable the XP firewall to prevent new infections from happening, but when i went to the firewall settings they were set to OFF, and all options (including the ability to turn it on) were greyed out. Did the virus modify my registry somehow and how can i remidy the situation. I am running windows XP prof with sp2
View 10 Replies View RelatedVPN Option Greyed Out On New Connection Wizard
Jul 5, 2005
I'm using a fairly new install of Windows XP SP2 on my laptop.
Clicking on "New Connection Wizard", then select the "Connect to my
Workplace" option which would normally allow me to create a VPN connection,
is greyed out.
I've googled on this problem and found issues suggesting that
1. XP SP1 be re-installed (I'm upto SP2, which I've tried re-installing
without success)
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionTelephony be
deleted (have tried this, rebooted, no success)
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRasManPPPEAP25
and 26 (tried this, rebooted, no success)
4. Find SR.INF and re-install (tried, rebooted, no change)
Having tried all of the above, I've had no joy at all. The VPN option in
"New Connection Wizard" remains greyed out.
The problem did appear to begin when I did a System Restore after a bad s/w
installation.
In addition - when I try to re-start the Remote Access Connection Manager
Service I receive Error 5: Access is Denied. I'm logged on as a Local
Administrator. I believe this is related.

Nov 15, 2008I am trying to make a flash drive bootable into wxpro. I have several format tools inclucing hp format tool. When I tried to access 98 startup disk to format my rally drive I got the message "no media". I copied the files to another area and received the same message. I then tried the format tool in xp. I cannot access the greyed out area to include msdos sys files. I have a old dos 6.0 prog that I use at work. I have been able to get the prog to work in 98. The use of a flash drive would be excellent if I can get it to work. To access/remove computer is a hassle and if I could just plug in a flash drive in would be excellent. So far I havent been able to get the drive to boot into xp.

Mar 20, 2009Like many I had problems with the antivirusxp virus. Using the recommended Malware program seemed to help at first, however yesterday my Internet Explorer became corrupted. When I click on LAN settings, all the boxes are greyed out. So I assume that I'll need to reinstall Internet Explorer. I've had the pc for 4 years & cannot find the installation discs. So my question is: If I download IE onto a cd & reinstall it, will this rectify my problem?

The problem started nearly a week back and over 20 reinstallations of 3 different versions of the Intel Extreme Graphics Driver later, it still gives me the same error. There seems to be an issue with ialmrnt5.dll (one of the display driver files).The main error message that i get from Windows goes something like: "Windows has recovered from a serious device failure. Please close all programs and reboot to restore full functionality". Else, i get a message directly pointing out the file saying something like: "the ialmrnt5.dll Display Driver has malfunctioned.

Mar 7, 2005every now and then when XP boots ( not always, like 1 out of 10 times, but always after Windowsupdate) it comes up with a 4bit colordepht and a resolution of 640X480 and is unchangeable + the Nvidiawizard is not in the Systray where its meant to be.I checked the driver and found out: behold there's a new version available at Nvidia.com , I download and try to install, what pops up is something like the following message: "The software that is being installed for GeForce4 MX440 did not pass the LOGO-Test for WinXP. The Software may not be compatible to WindowsXP and may cause ......" problems and whatnot. So I decide to cancel installation and go to windowsuptade.com. There, too is (among other security updates" a Nvidia Graphics Driver. I check the security updates and the Driversupdate and install. Reboot = Graphic error as described above .
