Start in safe mode, install SP2, SP3 install.

Reboot in normal mode, it should work. I think that it maybe an old cd rather than the last version supplied with certificate of authenticity.

Cheers (mine works now)

  • Windows XP hangs after installing the new drive hard & software

    My 20 GB hard drive was almost full and the computer (Dell GX240) has been slow, I installed a new 160 GB drive. After loading Windows XP, Linksys, McAfee, MS Office and MS Windows updates would crash randomly. Restart the system would allow him to run for a few minutes and then hang again.
    I reformatted the drive and partitioned to 80 GB and then reloaded all programs above with the same results.
    I reformatted back to 20 GB, loaded XP and Linksys and the same problem occurred.
    It seems that the internet has something to do with the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    "Wingnut555" wrote in message News: 6aac2f2a-ffb6-4a22-98e1-67417709eb6b...

    The drive of 20 GB that I removed to install the largest capacity disk has been reinstalled after the failure of a larger. I am currently running on the same pc and the old drive. I have another drive of 20 GB that had XP installed on it earlier. Thinking that I might try that one that I started to load some of my other programs operating and when I installed Office 2007 for household use and selected updates online blocked system shortly after. The problem is therefore not only on new facilities. The reader that I use currently a Office 2007 is installed and it works fine.

    What is the largest disk that will handle XP? I heard it's 137 GB, is it true? If I can make it work how would you recommend I have partition the drive of 160 GB?

    Thank you

    XP can handle drives of 1 TB to NTFS without problem - it's the motherboard on computers more elders who may have problems, that it is not compatible LBA.
    There is really no need to partition the disk, but I would tend to opt for about 60 GB for the operating system and 100 GB of data and then move the folder My Documents (using the option in its properties) of the data partition. This allows to separate the data and programs and means a lot less work if a reinstall is needed.

  • Problems after installing the new disk in the Satellite M70 151

    I have a Satellite M70-151 the hard drive gave up and was unreadable, before that I was using with my desktop via a router, that it worked very well. I had no option but to install a new hard drive now in System Manager, I get of the yellow question marks against:
    Other features:
    ? Mass storage controller
    ? Network controller
    ? Modem PCI
    ? Video controller (VGA compatible)

    I searched and searched, but can not find the drivers for these 4 things

    I have sound but only weak, I don't have a WiFi Yes feature I tried to install the good (as advised by Toshiba) Lan Driver [link to driver | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?ID=58122&OSID=10&drive rLanguage = 42 & selectedLanguage = 13 & driverCountry = 41 & selectedCountry = 8]

    When I try to install it says "the device may not be present or could have been ejected/disconnected from the system.
    Insert or reinsert now. "
    I know I am being thick but I was under the impression that the Lan has been integrated into the laptop? :_|

    I would be sincerely grateful for all of the advice of my peers. :)

    Stuart

    First of all, we should start with basic information;
    The M70-151 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71E that's why you should choose this issue of the European driver Toshiba page if you want to download the correct drivers.

    _You will need these drivers: _

    Mass storage controller I think it is a cardbus driver
    Controller - s network a LAN or WLan card computing. First, check which driver is already installed
    Modem PCI driver modem ;)
    Display video Controller (VGA compatible) driver

  • PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

    I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

    I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

    Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

    What should I do next?

    Thanks, Terry

    7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop, but do not connect peripheral devices.

    8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select start Windows normally and then press the Enter key.

  • Error 0X0000007E Stop after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    Original title: Stop error after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    After I installed a new motherboard and CPU I got a stop error 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XB77EA756, 0XB84C742C, 0xB84C7128) and it restarted immediately. It always starts in safe mode, but I can't understand what is wrong. The old processor is a pentium 4 3 ghz, not sure what the motherboard was, new processor is AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4200 + and I only know that the motherboard is an ASUS socket AM2. Device Manager does not recognize the CPU correctly, it shows just two entries called processor. As far as I can tell, it's almost certainly a driver issue, but I don't know how to diagnose or fix this. I am running windows XP home, I removed my video card, running 2 hard drives at 120 g (M) and 200 g (S), a DVD drive (M) and a reader of CD (S), and a stick of RAM to 1 GB.

    If you have made the change without having to reinstall XP, you will be taking and Pray H@ll. the best thing to do would be to reinstall XP and make sure you have the drivers available for your motherboard available so that you can update the installed chipset. In addition, be aware that if you have an OEM of Windows version, the license is dead when you changed the mother/CPU card.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

    I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

    I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

    I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

    bozzle73

    My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

    But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

    You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • After installing the new version of flash player firefox only charge for most of the sites basic html

    After you install the new version of Adobe Flash Player yesterday, Firefox would not charge most of the sites except in basic html, as I understand is the right term for all the lists in the text, especially on the left side of the screen. They open in Google Chrome and IE. I tried to restore to two days ago, today I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, I have tried several possible solutions in the support forums, but nothing has worked. I prefer Firefox but it will fall if I can't get this resolved quickly. Note: I only start from the principle that the new flash player was to blame as it happened immediately after. I don't really know yet what he does, it's just one of those things that appears and says he has to be upgraded to the latest version from time to time.

    The Flash player plugin allows certain types of media to be displayed in the web pages. Otherwise, you get an empty rectangle. Usually Flash would not hinder Firefox to load style sheets, images and other elements that add to the raw text of the page.

    You can try the reset function. It duplicates some data key of your active settings in a new file, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins (including Flash) will still be active, but may be disabled manually if you wish.

    More information in this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. Please note that an old parameter file appears on your desktop. You might want to keep this around for awhile in case you need to save something from him

    Does make a difference?
