• Alienware 14, dysfunctions of the screen after the idling or after reboot - drivers?

  Hello

  I have an Alienware 14 I had probably more than a year before, so I'm probably out of warranty now. Fortunately, this problem seems less to do with all the problems of hardware and some weird stuff going on with drivers.

  What happens is that after the screen becomes inactive, or after I restarted the computer, the screen goes wonky.  It flashes green (or cyan) and purple lines across, with the upper part of the screen on the bottom.  If I restart the PC often enough, then possibly screen returns to normal and works perfectly fine, no matter how long I keep active to screen.  But then when I have to restart my PC or make it become inactive, I have the problem all over again.

  Here is a video that I could find on Youtube that shows an approximate example of display problem and recovery solution:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=eaqRaqBqwog

  This issue started to happen to me in mid-November, after the tool of pre installed nVidia (GeForce experience) prompted me to update my nVidia drivers.  Comments on this video, youtube and other topics like the following, all this seems to be a questionable issue with an update for nVidia drivers.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19610218

  I tried to restore my GPU driver in September 2014 published version (344.11) and that seems to fix the problem for several reboots.  Then a few hours later, I tried to restart, had the same screen problems, and my GPU driver reverted to the version of 18 November 2014 (344.75).  I don't know that I have the nVidia tool configured to not the automatic update of the GPU driver.

  (I don't know if it's related, but when I used http://www.geforce.com/drivers to detect version, Firefox had forgotten that he was authorized to execute Java.)

  Is there something else, maybe in the OS (Windows 8.1), which is auto-update the driver GPU?

  Is there a way that you can have Windows to stop updating your drivers:
  I think this might solve your problem.

  Here is a tutorial on how to disable the Windows updated driver.

• is authorized to build the screen over the events, but push over the event

  Hi all, I know it's a lame question, but I get an error message and now then guess myself

  the way I coded this app. I usually build screens in a non event, calling thread

  Add when adding fields and all the UI stuff, but once it is done, then I put the pushScreen

  in the case of threading

  is it ok?

  Well, it is certainly not a "lame".  I guess you can add fields to a form on a thread of non-event so the screen is not "displayed" (do not push in the battery of the screen still), otherwise, you will need to run that add inside invokeLater or while now the lock of the event.

  Say, if you pushScreen (MyCustomBackgroundCreatedScreen()) new, some of the screen building code can be executed before the screen is actually pushed and the rest will be executed after that.  The "suite" party (whose actual start is quite random) will throw IllegalStateException unless you put your add code (...) within invokeLater or synchronize the lock of the event.

  I did it myself - parses an XML file in a separate Thread and by creating and adding fields one by one to a display manager - and I distinctly remember having to do it the way I described.

  If it's OK or not depends on your design.  If you have only a few fields to add, that's fine, I guess.  Each addition will cause the entire screen to rearrange, which is a small performance decrease. However, unless you have a few fields of thousands (I remember this post here in the forum), you should not notice a significant slowdown.

• How to have a batch file executed without the BACK popup on the screen?

  original title: running tape recorder in a minimized batch file or out of sight?

  Hi, I'm wanting to play a sound every 30 minutes.

  I wrote a batch file for use of Windows sound recorder to play the sound, and then close.  I will use the Task Scheduler to run and the calendar.  The sound seems to play fine, but every time it works I see a popup box BACK and then heard play recorder app.  These two things quickly disappear automatically, but ideally, I want the sound to play and can't see the window BACK or recorder popup of sounds on the screen.  Is there a way to minimize or hide these things automatically?  As it is run in the background, but still play the sound?  My batch file is below:

  Sndrec32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\Media\chimes.wav" /PLAY / CLOSE

  This could help you.

• Alienware x 51 starts, but the screen remains black.

  I bought my x 51 all with warranty 1 year ago a year and a half, recently it has been giving me some problems and today I can't use it yet at all.

  The problem started with my screen remains black when I turned on my computer (punt, never awake from sleep), but which would be corrected by me once or twice by restarting the computer. That did not last too long, and soon it did not matter how many times I rebooted the computer. I finally had to unplug the computer and press and hold the power for 30 seconds to see if it worked.

  He did, but this solution has worked only once, and now I have nothing seems to regularize my situation. I tried switching monitors and cables with my brother (who is an identical 51 x), but nothing has worked.

  To summarize:

  My computer turns on.

  Not funny lights or noises (save a beep on startup)

  Screen remains black on reboot of the screen it says he receives no signal and falls asleep.

  No problem when it runs normally (not funny colors, stripes on the screen or blur).

  Help, please. Dell support wants 70 to 110 dollars to listen to even my problem, which is money, that I don't have at the moment.

  Thanks for anything that might help!

  Sounds like you have a dead video card, from the link above looks like there is no output from vga Intel to tun tests, you must remove the old video card and test with another video card that works to verify that the card is in fact dead, like your brothers x 51 remove the video card and test it on your machine.

  If I had this machine in front of me I would use one of these babies for once then run tests on the video card.

• HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen

  I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.

  When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.

  I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?

  Thank you, Glenn...

  It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

  You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.
  
  You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.
  
  The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
  
  When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.
  
  To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
  
  Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.
  
  To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/
  
  Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
  -------------------------------------
  
  Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html
  
  You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.
  
  Once completed, your PC should start OK.

  If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

  Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

• Satellite M40-284 - no signal on the screen

  Hello. I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba M40 284.

  I had a few probemms with load, I send it to a service, they have changed something, but for the installation of the new coin, they used a program and they didn't remove it the office.

  After a week I had problems with it and I tried to reinstall this component. The problem is that this executable file I guess that it has deleted my BIOS. After that I started it my computer was completely blocked and afer completely refused to do it again.
  When I try to start it tryes just to open, but I can see no signal on the screen, and after 3-4 seconds it stops and tryes to start up again but is the same, it stops again. I removed the disk hard but is you same.

  What can we do in this situation?

  Hello!

  What type of program do you speak?
  Maybe it's a program for (re) Flash the BIOS or something else I n s t know because I m not a technician for laptop.

  I think that in this case you can do anything, but did contact the authorized service provider? I think they can help you more as we here in the forum. They should know what program it is and how to solve this problem.

  Good luck and give us feedback. I am interested in. :)

  Good bye

• Satellite C660D - flash cards are not displayed on the screen

  Hello
  I bought a Toshiba Satellite C660D a month ago. Everything was fine, until the FN button is no longer displayed the OSD menu.
  I looked on the forums and there were various tips on very similar issues. I downloaded the package of value added once again, I looked in the settings of flash card and nothing does the trick. Could someone help me?

  Any advice would be welcome.

  (ps, job functions, but the screen shows no more).

  What you can do is to call the Toshiba s hotline and ask for help.

  In any case, I think they can tell you the same thing: you can try to reinstall VAP or flash cards utility of support or reinstall OS using HARD drive recovery facility. With the settings, it works well again.

• The screen record, channel up/down buttons missing in live TV

  Hello

  I am running Windows 7 (Version: 6.1.7600.16385 - win7_rtm.090713 - 1255) on a HP m9080n pc (System and tuner below specifications) and encounter a weird problem when watching live TV.  If I place the mouse on MC I get on the screen control for playback of movies rather than over-the-air television.  that is recording, guide and channel up/down buttons are missing.  From time to time MC will draw upward and the buttons will be there but I have not found a model for when they / will not be there.  I tried to watch 7MC goes directly to the tv live, from the guide, etc. nothing works.

  There are a few variables to deal in what I executed some add-ons (DTBAddin 1.0.0.6, ShowAnalyzer and DVBLink for HD - PVR).  Their uninstall does not change the behavior.

  Has anyone seen elsewhere this behavior and have ideas or suggestions to solve this?

• Derives from the screen

  My screen seems to drift to the right on my monitor.  This is particularly noticeable when I open an email; the bar up/down is partially hidden on the right.  So today I opened a game, and the screen is low and to the right 3/4 of an inch.  I don't see any monitor controls and I can't seem to find help in my computer.

  See the documentation that came with your monitor or Google the model number and visit the manufacturer support site for a user manual.

  Possibly on the (lower) edge or feel it for several small buttons, maybe next to the power. It takes to a menu - what you are looking for is the OSD section for vertical and horizontal position, some monitors have a definition also auto. Using the menu and the + and - buttons should allow you to correctly position the screen in the monitor.

  I hope this helps.

• Disable "on the keyboard of the screen" _

  Cannot be deactivated "on the keyboard of the screen. already removed tick in the ease of access

  I'm sorry to learn the system restore does not work - I think that could be repaired for you if it's a software problem.  It looks like a hardware problem, but we will exclude software problems before you spend money get the diagnosis and, if necessary, repaired equipment (unless your system is still under warranty with Dell, in which case I would start a disturbance immediately - they may be able to help on the phone and if not they will guide you through the process of getting a technician to check the system).

  Maybe something happened to the drivers for your keyboard.  Go to the Dell Support site and enter your product key.  Who should provide information on your specific laptop.  Then look for the keyboard drivers for your system and your version of Vista and download and install.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html (or there may be a single downloaded executable file that run you just--I know not how this driver will be downloaded).  Once done, reboot and see if your keyboard works again.

  If this does not work, try a startup repair to boot from your Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc (or one you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.  When you reboot, the keyboard now works.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this is not the case, try a clean boot to see if another program interfering with the keyboard.  Here is the procedure: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the keyboard works of boot, then it's just a matter of finding the culprit, the origin of the problem.  Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once that is done, don't forget to return the system to normal operation.

  If the clean boot does not work, try to boot in safe mode (repeatedly clicking on F8 during the boot process until the menu appears) and see if you can use the keyboard there.  This can be very useful information to the narrowing of the cause and solve the problem (if it is not a hardware problem).

  If this does not help, we will check some of your system files and hard disk for corruption.

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.  Restart when done and see if the keyboard works now.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
