After you load an update, my reboot will not work. Again the sleep & Shutdown work. All other features still work.

To run Windows XP.  I can't finish an update because the restart function will not work (be it at the end of the installation of the update) or the Start button

Hi Beaver6,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. What happens when you try to restart the computer? You receive an error message?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • My windows live Movie Maker has an ER code 0 x 80004005, cannot display viedo of camer after down load, that its there just will not be open for the show.

    Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
    That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.

    Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If your video file format is not on the list above, google for a FREE video converter and it allows to convert your video file.
    The best format to convert is WMV. The most reliable and foo-proof format.

  • Stuck loading device driver. Computer will not start at the top.

    Original title: recovery

    I recently bought a laptop usedsony off Ebay with Windows Vista. I started it up without any problems. Then online and proceeded to the update of the system. Once finished, I rebooted the laptop, now it turns on, but it gets stuck at a driver (ckcdsk) loading system. Unfortunately, it came not with an original Windows disk or recovery disk. Can I get help on this.

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Updates for photoshop will not work / used to open raw images

    I tried to update my photoshop and several times to open images raw in photoshop and it won't work, every time I try to do the installation fails and does not explain why and example is:

    Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.4 update

    Failed installation

    Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1

    Failed installation

    Photoshop to Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 update

    Failed installation

    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.3 update

    Failed installation

    can anyone help?

    Can be useful if there is no more specific message being shown to list them.

    Just to pass on what I've read: some people using PCs reported that deleting Photoshop, relocation of their original medium, then upgrade to the latest works where they have not been able to get the updated software via the integrated process.  I don't know if this is true for the Mac, but it could be something to try if you exhaust your options.

    Have but before trying this, you tried to do a manual installation of the latest updates?  You can download the appropriate directly from the following:
