  • Unable to restart your computer when you try to configure my PC back to factory settings.

    So, recently I tried to reset my laptop to factory settings, but it says:

    Cannot restart your computer
    Windows cannot restart the computer in the Windows recovery environment to complete the restore.

    Maybe its weird, but that's exactly what he said. I have no idea what this means? I could get help :)
    Thank you.  -Nicolai

    Try to start again in the recovery environment, then launch a reset:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  • You must stop your request before the engine may stop

    I have an integrated application that uses LV DSC 6.0.2. The application starts and stops the engine tag programmatically. The application works fine, but on some machines, I'll get continuously the next dialog box when I try to stop the engine of the tag:

    "You must stop your request before the engine may stop"

    It's strange, because it only happens on some machines (it seems that it can occur on computers with ONLY of DSC Run-Time installed, not the full dev system. DSC LV).

    The dialog seems to refer to the application of 'control' which tries to stop the engine... it isn't telling me that my devices servers need to be stopped.

    This dialog box does not seem logical, I should be able
    to build an application that can start and stop the engine... and why I get this dialog on some machines but not on others?

    John Paul,

    There are two points that we should ask ourselves:
    1: you can have different loops while in your application where you read/write to and from the engine of the tag with the read/write Tag.vi. These screws has a stop of production which must be wired first the while loop. If you have cases where you do not connect this output to your time stop loop you could access the engine while you want to stop the engine in another loop with the Shutdown.vi engine. -> Make sure you have all drivers of DSC to access loops has stopped before you turn off the engine.

    2nd: I guess he was once an issue of race with the DSC engine condition and how it access to shared memory with the read/write Tag.vi. But this condtion of race must be agreed with the version of LabVIEW DSC
    6.1 or with other fixes for LabVIEW DSC 6.0.2. You can download patches (in this case, particularly the BVRTDatabase.dll) driver update page & of NOR: www.ni.com/support/ > Option 3, drivers and updates > Search drivers and updates > type 'LabVIEW DSC' > choose LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control 6.0.2 fixes.
    You must apply the patches of this as well on your DSC 6.0.2 Run Time System!

    I hope that one of the help of two suggestions to solve your problem.

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    I suggest you try these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
