My friend's computer used to shut down completely when she pressed Start/Shut down, and she was using Windows 98.

Scandisk Stuck At 0% Every Startup

Mar 20, 2006

Out of no where my computer has started running scandisk each startup (after proper shutdown). On top of that, scandisk gets stuck at 0%, and won't budge. I've tried starting up in safe mode and I can't even do that. Currently I have to wait for the scandisk screen, and press a key within the 10 seconds so scandisk doesn't get stuck. I would like to be able to run it completely and have it not bother me every start up.

Loops On Startup Tried Various Things Now Stuck

Jan 31, 2007

A friends computer went down last week - on loading it'd say 'file missing explorer.exe' it restarted and just wouldn't do anything else. It wouldn't go into safe mode, XP wouldn't repair etc, so I reformated the PC and put XP back on a fresh. She said she'd done nothing to it which was a bit puzzling.Now today I've gone around there and the PC is looping, it'll go to the XP load screen and then go back to the menu options - safe mode etc. The PC won't load in safe mode, last known config, nuffink! Again, she said she'd done nothing to it, apparently the mouse was freezing, now it won't do anything, I put in the XP disc and tried to do a repair this is the message:Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration information. This indicates an internal setup error. Contact your system administrator.

Startup Gets Stuck On Black Screen With Cursor

May 21, 2006

I dont know what is going on. I originally was trying to get my webcam to work, it wouldn't so i was going through troubleshooting procedures according to its help menu, and it asked me to unplug all usb devices and replug the webcam only, well i wasn't thinking and I just unplugged the external hardrive and the webcam at the same time without "stopping" it. So then it gaev me a message saying it needed to reboot to complete its update or something i wasn't paying attention cause i thought it just needed to reboot for the webcam so i did, then when i rebooted it would show the COMPAQ screen with the three options at the bottom(ESC for boot menu, F1 for BIOS(Ithink) and F10 for recovery, well then it would go immediately to a black screen w/ a white cursor in top left corner, It would idle there permenantly. I would have to ctrl+alt+del to get it to go back and finally i was looking for a way to use my recovery tools cd, that didn't work at first but then it finally came up and said it could do a recovery where it wouldn't delete my files but it would restore the rest to orignal state, so i went ahead and chose that option. It finished and said to reboot. I did, then it still gets stuck at that black screen, doesn't even show the WINXP screen.so i was looking for a way to figure this out and i went to the ESC menu this is what you see there.

Computer Won't Shut Down Properly - Freezes At "Shutting Down System "

Apr 4, 2005

I've got a Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop. I've had it for a year and haven't had any problems with it, but lately, when I try to shut it down through the start menu, it will shut everything down, log out, go to the welcome screen all like its supposed to. When it gets to the blue welcome screen, however, it will say something along the lines of "Shutting down system (or Windows or something) and it'll just hang there forever. Once I forgot about it and returned in about an hour to find it still stuck in that screen, one that it should only display for a few seconds. I'm clean on the HJT log and virus-free

Pavilion Ze4560us Not Startup Properly

Aug 21, 2005

My pavilion ze4500, xp O.S., is having problems starting up. I believe that the fan had some troubles in the past, as I am almost positive the notebook has shut off after leaving it on all day while I was out. Currently (and for at least 3 months since the previously described shut down) the fan appears to be working ok, since I sucked some of the dust out- but the problem I am having now occurs at start up. I do receive on error message after xp fully loads. It reads; RUNDLL error loading c:programfileswildtangentappscdacdaengine0400.dll However- I dont necessarily believe that this is related, but I thought Id better be thorough.

System Won’t Shut Down Properly - Very Slow System

Oct 18, 2004

One of the most common XP topic concerns shut-down or power-down issues. The solution can be as simple as going into Power Options in Control Panel and changing the "When I Press The Power Button" setting to: "shut down" or so complex that it simply can't be identified. Sometimes it's a third party product causing a reboot at Shutdown (ie, Roxio CD 5.0 - and there is a fix). Unquestionably, one of the best sites for coverage of this topic is at AUMHA.ORG. I have taken the liberty of pasting the comprehensive information they provide below. Please take the time to locate your specific problem and read their suggested fix. If you still have questions, then by all means post them in the General Questions Forum.

Slow Startup And Shut Down Speeds

Jul 25, 2007

It was configured with windows vista I was using Windows Vista 32bit for 2 months and then switched to 64 bit for the next 2 months. Things were slow, startup, shutdown, normal working etc. Some games ran slow (Halflife 2:Episode One, Company of Heroes), some games ran perfect (Oblivion Elder Scrols, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory). Then I switched back to XP. we have really degraded our thinking level. We guys used to complain about the slow startup and shut down speeds of XP.

Installers Didn't Work

Jan 14, 2008

I recently had a problem with my computer so I boot up my recovery cd. Soon everything was working fine and I installed some programs that I used to have. However, a few days ago, everything went weird again. (But in a different way before I used the recovery cd.)All the installers didn't work. They all had errors halfway through. They created empty folders in the program files and they can't be removed. Most things in the program files now can't be removed. I also can't install some other programs and the error messages were something like I didn't have access. But I was on the administrator account. I'm sure the installers weren't corrupted because one of them was the iTunes installer.. When even that couldn't be installed,

Didn't Boot And Went To Blue Screen

Jan 16, 2007

I just started my Dell the other day and as the subject says, it didn't boot and went to a blue screen which said something along the lines of.it gave me options to start in Safe mode and a few others or to start at the last point where everything was ok. I choose this option and windows started without a hitch and I didn;t notice anything out of place or missing. I've done a few restarts since then and nothing out of the ordinary has happened since.BUT, then today I was loading some more programs on my recently formatted laptop. One of them being Perfect Disk 8 (trial) and WinPatrol alerted me to the startup entries. One of them being PDEngine, the other PDAgent. I'm assuming Perfect Disk caused this error on the Dell. Anyone have any Idea as to what may have happened. now I'm afraid to use the program on either comp.

Computer Didn't Start Successfully

I'm looking at a lap top for a friend. When it boots up, it starts normally and then on a black screen it says that windows did not start successfully. It gives a list of ways to boot up, safe mode safe mode with network, some others, then last known good config. None work. Which ever I try I then get a blue screen with "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage. An attempt was make to write to read only memory." It then tells me if it's the first time I'm seeing the screen that I should reboot etc.

Repair Didn't Fix Damaged .dll - Cannot Boot

I have a DELL with an OEM installation CD. I un-installed a crappy program which just corrupted the file ootmapi.dll. Now, when I try to boot, I get the message that "ootmapi.dll was not found, reinstalling the application may fix the problem". I have tried safe mode, last known good config, and even a live Windows CD I made through Bart PE (an amazing program). I have alot of information I NEED on my hard drive. I was about to back up my data-it seems as if computers decide to stop working at the worst possible time . Please post all possible solutions and a step by step guide to reinstalling windows through my Windows CD.

Taskbar And Desktop Didn't Appear: Blinked On Turned Off?

Apr 26, 2006

After turning the computer on that my taskbar and desktop didn't appear. I went to Task Manager and used the "run" command and typed "explorer.exe" and try to load it up that way. It did load up, but the thing is, it blinked on, and then was turned off. Right now I'm using the Task manager to do everything I'm doing right now. I'm pretty sure that this is a virus, but I want to be completely sure.
