View 1 Replieswhen using the fingerprint scanner on a network with pasword changes every 90days, does the fingerprint scanner on a lenovo laptop synch properly with a newly updated password? I have a user here who changed the password but the fingerprint scanner did not seem to recognize the change since when you first set it up it asks for your current password. Once setup correctly all you have to do is scan your fingerprint and it logs you in.

Due (I think) to a virus my XP Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gd_080 814-1236 will not boot to Windows properly. I just get a blank screen. I can CTRL/ALT/DEL to get Task Manager and then run a task from there, including MSCONFIG or a browser but the thing will not give me any options when I boot and often will boot into Safe mode - and again I cannot do anything with it.

If i buy a USB floppy drive, can my bios in my hp zv6015 boot from it in order to load external hard drive drivers so i can install win2k on that drive?
I am in desperate need of dual boot and would love to get this up and running
My laptop can't boot itself. When I try boot it, it flashes some error about ntdetect (or something) after the bios splash. And then it reboots on its own.
I've tried to boot from CD (with various software) but then I can't find the C: drive where it should boot (so I could copy the ntdetect file into its place). I could format the whole thing but I got some files that I really needed..
So is there any suggestions from anybody for this problem? Is there a way to copy the files from the hard drive or something.. I'm getting quite desperate with this thing
I started getting ad popups and it started running very slowly. I didnt think anything of it at first but then it started freezing and having a hard time closing windows and it was BARLEY running. And the bar at the bottom would disappear. I had to restart the dern thing 5 times just bc even ctrl/alt/del didnt even work closing these windows. Then it happened. One day when I was trying to restart it, It was in the middle of booting, and when the 'Windows is starting' screen comes up, the blue one right before you would select a user and put in a password comes up, the laptop just CLICKS OFF then restarts the rebooting loop over and over again.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI didn't open any suspicious emails, shared on P2P networks and certainly made no changes in system files. Only thing I did was what I do periodically. I defragged my hard drive, uninstalled games and went into msconfig and stopped 3 programs from start up (DEAMON tools, PowerISO and SQL service) I was also having problems with the SpyCop package so I uninstalled and reinstalled.
So I restarted (like I should) and the only process it goes through is the DELL start up "splash screen" After that it usually does the Windows XP "splash screen" but it never does the Windows XP screen, it just stays black, nothing. I pressed F2 to see if anything changed and nothing seemed to, as far as I know. I tried F8 to enter safe mode and a couple lines of text show up and stop and hang. I even tried to let it sit there to see if maybe it's just getting used to the defrag job(s) I did, still black. It's still black as I type this.
Recently my laptop is unable to boot up. The screen is blank and then frozen. I have to turn it off, unplug everything, and then wait for an hour to restart it again (and then it can boot up as normal). It all started last week after I installed Windows Media Player 10. I tried to restore the system back to a week ago, but the problem is still there.
Also, it always gives out a short "beep" sound after the laptop is ON for about 1 hour. Does it indicate that my mother board is having problem, or is it the hard disk?
I am having trouble booting my windows xp laptop. I am in the bootcfg. I cannot get any further.Any bootcfg /rebuild command it states- Failed to scan......use chkdsk to detect errors.

I am trying to fix a Gateway MX3702 Notebook for a suitemate of mine. When it starts up, it loads the initial Gateway bootscreen, and then goes to a black screen for approximately 5-10 minutes. After that a loading bar appears across the bottom of the screen, and it takes about 30 more minutes to fully load. After that load XP starts up fine and there are no other discernable problems

A recent hardware or software change may have caused this. etc, etc."
When safe mode is pressed, a bunch of prompts run, and then it freezes. You must then shut off the PC and then restart to get back to the menu choices. Another message we see now is General help in the Bios.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur offices have many Lenovo computers, 2004 vintage, no model name shown anywhere. The original driver disc is long lost, but for all but one of these, Windows XP finds built-in drivers that just work. Here is my chronology for the Bad Box that doesn't just work, there's really no alternative except to put the files that the box wants on the drive. To do this, I put the blank drive in one of the other Lenovo boxes (identical hardware in every way) and used XXClone to make a bootable clone of that other drive, put it back in my Lenovo and it booted fine, video looked great. I noticed that this system had never been updated and was running the original flavor of XP (confirmed in the properties of "My Computer"), so I downloaded Service Pack 2 and installed it.

On booting up, the Client Security Setup Wizard comes up and it has no place to click where you can tell it not to come up again. I do not want to use this feature so each time I have to click cancel and then again click, yes I am sure. Very frustrating. I have tried everything. I called tech support but they did not know so they are researching it and said they would call back.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Toshiba laptop and when I restart or turn it on, it hangs on the Toshiba screen. I then have to manually hold down the power button to turn it off, then press it again to turn on. This last time, it took about 12 times of doing this just to get windows to run. This started a few days ago when I suddenly got the BSOD, I think because of a driver. However, I haven't installed any drivers in a long time...the blue screen just popped up out of nowhere and now it seems my computer is messed up.

So I tried to change the boot sequence from the BIOS screen and when I restart it it comes up and says press any key to boot from cd and when I do you can hear the disk do something for a mintue or two then nothing. so then I tried to put in the original XP cd and try to re-install and I click the link, and then you can hear the disk make noise for a few minutes then the light goes out and does nothing.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I have this Asus netbook with Win7 RC (ultimate) and its been fine. But the time has come. I bought an upgrade edition of W7Home back in the day from Amazon for $50. So I connected a usb DVD drive to the unit, popped an XP disk in and set the BIOS to boot from that drive. It loads all the files but when it gets to the setup screen, 3 choices, Enter to install XP (pro), F3 to exit and R to repair. None of these choices work, Its just frozen, I have an AC brick plugged in so thats not it. I tried 3 times with the same results.
Then I got a Vista Home disk and tried it and it worked just like it was supposed to. After that, from within Vista, I popped in the Win7 Home Disk and proceeded to install Win7. Perfect. I'm wondering why the xp failed at that point. in the W7 box it gave instructions to upgrade from XP which was basically, back everything up, then boot from the DVD.
it now wont go past the windows loading screen. I have tried to boot from his windows xp disc (to perform a repair) via changing the boot order in the bios but it wont do it. I even set all the boot orders to go from the cd and still nothing. I have tried multiple xp discs to no avail. If I get into safe mode the drive seems to be working fine. Windows recognizes the drive and that a disc is in there.
