View 1 Repliesi have an emachines m5105 laptop. i just reinstalled windows xp professional on it, went through the whole process, everything was fine. i installed windows updates, all the emachines drivers, then aol messenger, a couple of simple programs, then adobe dreamweaver, reader, the google toolbar and microsoft office (in that order). by the time i was done, the laptop screen flashes to an almost black screen, on and off, constantly. i uninstalled office and dreamweaver, since that was not happening before i installed those programs, but i'm still having the same problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy desktop has decieded to add the 'menu' bar down trhe left had side of the screen. It is the same as the type which appears on the left hand side of open folders in XP. I created a new user account and it was OK until the screen went into screen saver and I needed to log back in and the problem was there again. This appears to have only started to happen when I added my XP laptop to the wired network.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWould anyone have any idea what is causing a flash of light (a very thin line~~kinda in a square shape) to go across my screen once at startup just as the desktop finishes loading? See it once at every startup, but only at startup, and only at the end of the desktop loading.Been happening for a few weeks now. It appeared a few times while I still had ME, but appears at every startup since installing XP SP2, which is about 3 weeks ago. My Screen Resolution is set at 1024 by 768 pixels, and my Color Quality is set on high (24 bit). My screen resolution is set at 75 Hertz.Here's what I have done so far~~I ran all the tests (on all the tabs) on the DIRECT X DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS, and passed them all~~no problems found.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOkay this is driving me nutso - I have checked the RD client on the PC side and there is nothing to turn this off anywhere...
I have a desktop which I always have Num Lock on as it has its own dedicated keypad. The problem is when I Remote Desktop into my laptop my laptop does not have the dedicated keypad the numbers on the keypad portion are actually 1/3rd of the letters on the keyboard (I.E I,O,P would be 7,8,9) when numlock is on. It's fine until I disconnect and I go home...
When I get home I start typing as I normally would but half the letters look like numbers because the Num Lock is still on from when I used Remote Desktop to connect in.
I know the obvoius solution is to turn off Numlock on my PC before I disconnect Remote Desktop from the Laptop but I really just want the Laptop to revert back to its original keyboard state once I disconnect...
Anyone know of a solution?
My Hp Laptop Will Boot Up But Then Flashes A Quick Unreadable Blue Screen.then Restarts Only To Repeat This Same Frustrating Process!
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that XP starts to boot up, flashes a blue screen with white writing for a nanosecond, then goes back to the start. It will not accept choosing Run in Safe Mode. It is not possible to get into BIOS. I have two questions:1.Can I start the pc with a floppy boot disk?2.Is there anything I can do APART from restore XP, as I haven't backed up all my files.I do have Norton but was in the process of getting the latest update. I thought it was prob a virus. All symantec website says is Run AV software HOW if I can't boot up?
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy computer started being really slow and making a lot of noise so I turned it off but now it is not able to completely restart. Right now I'm using the IBM Rescue and Recovery browser so I can't do much besides check and see if I can get any possible help. I try to run Windows normally and it starts loading up then a blue window flashes and the computer restarts. I can't go to Safe Mode because it starts naming off a bunch of drivers then it just resets. I haven't done anything on BIOS because I'm afraid I'll just mess it up (all I really did was set it to default).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble booting up my laptop. It goes to the "windows" screen the a blue screen flashes for just a second and the only thing I can read is "a problem has occured" because of the short duration the screen is up...there is a lot more words on there but I don't have time to read it all. Then it goes to the option screen to restart or start in safe mode...which is what I'm in at this time.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just put together a new system from scratch and regretting it BIG TIME, I have an intel d915GAG board with an intel P4 3.2 chip. Brand new WD HD, floppy, and 2 dvd/cd drives. After the final screw was tightened, I started my new system and the intel logo appeared. I pressed ESC and it appears to start the bios setup. It flashes my memory size (size is 512 MB), then the screen immediately flashes and begins to do and IDE scan, in which it promptly tells me that Device 0 not detected, device 1 not detected, device 2 not detected, device 3 not detected....and the setup stops right there. I don't have a clue, after searching Intel's site for 2 hours where to go from here.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a repeat. My Toshiba Satellite M45 running Win XP Home, SP2 is caught in a boot-up loop. It shows the Toshiba splash screen, the "Windows is starting up" screen, then flashes a blue screen with white characters (too fast for me to make out any detail), then the "Windows didn't startup properly" (I forget the precise wording) screen, with the choices of Safe Mode, etc. I've tried every option on the list, but it still fails, returning to the Boot Options screen. Mea Culpa: I haven't done a backup in quite some time, so I'm anxious about the data on the hard drive.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen you turn it on the lights come on and you can hear the hard drive for a sec or two but nothing comes up on the screen, I put in the recovery disk and the cd-rom you can hear it start up and try to run it but nothing comes up on the screen at all. Its like you hear the cd-rom cause it is louder when it first starts up and then like it stops. when you open it you can see the disk had been spinning. anyway again nothing, absolutely nothing on the screen. I took the hard drive out and hooked it to my desktop computer with a usb hardware that you can hook up internal harddrives externally and see whats on them. I have used it many times before except always on a destop harddrive where you have a place to hook up the ac power. On the laptop drive it doesn't have a place to hook up the power so I just plugged in the usb and you could here the hard drive click and try to start but didn't. I thought it was probably the harddrive so I got a brand new one, same kind the travelstar. I put it in the laptop and then put the recovery disk in and you could hear the cd-rom start up but still nothing on the screen. I even plugged in a regular monitor to the laptop and nothing comes up on its screen either. Did I buy the hard drive for nothing? is the laptop just shot? or is there something I have to do to the hard drive before I put in in and try the recovery disk? Someone please give me a suggestion. The guy that owns it says they thought lighning hit it but most peopled say that. I don't know if they left it plugged in or what but like I said when you turn it on the lights come on and the cd-rom must work so it is getting power.
