Artifacts of the screen, then lock on laptop HP DV9724tx

Hello

I have a HP DV9724tx T7700 core 2 duo with 3 GB of ram with 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium.

On December 2009/January 2010, there were five windows updates published by Windows. These are:

-Updated fo filter junk e-mail in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (KB977840) - haven't managed to update this a single OK

-Update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB979202) - reinstall it froze my screen

-Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Vista (KB978207)

-Update for Vista (KB972270)

-Windows malicious software removal tool - January 2010 (KB890830)

When I installed these updates, restart the screen would be artifact (blocks, lines, random colors) and then finally hang / lock the entire computer. Using system restore several times at a much earlier date made this judgment.

I disabled since all the Windows automatic updates and the system is stable (but not up-to-date).

Yes, I have installed the latest graphics drivers for the video card 8600M GS 512 MB (updated NVidia to Dec 2009). Still can not update Windows.

Any ideas? Are all other HP laptop owners suffering from this and they were able to find a solution of HP or Windows?

Never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE!  Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • get a pop up on the screen saying lock shift is enabled or disabled

    I have a windows 7 PC Samsung RV510 and when I hit the caps lock key it does not say whether shift caps lock is enabled or disabled.

    Everything on the screen caps lock is via the software provided by the computer manufacturer.  In the case of may with a Dell laptop, the screen is a function of the software Quick Set of Dell.  I don't know if Samsung offers something similar.  Another option, you can watch, is that Windows 7 has an option to play a sound when the SHIFT key is hit.  Actually, I prefer since I did not look at the screen to be informed that I accidentally hit the caps lock key.  It is controlled via start > Control Panel > accessibility > change how your keyboard works.  (Or if you go to the search box of the programs and files immediately above the Start button and type "toggle", then "Change how your keyboard works")  Once there, but a check mark beside of the "turn ToggleKeys.

  • My daughter Air2 IPad takes too long to save. It is connected to wifi, connected and the screen is locked.mAny advice?

    My daughter Air2 IPad takes too long to save. It is plugged in, connected to wifi and the screen is locked. Any tips?

    How long is too long? If it lasts for more than a few hours - and even that is too long in my humble OPINION - then something is wrong. Completely backup, because it will not terminate in any case if its been so long, forced to reboot the device and try again.

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    This may not work either. The backup may be damaged and you will need to remove and start over. However, its easy starting point and it will not hurt anything. If the backup will not end, he has nothing to lose.

  • music player when the screen is locked

    Hello.
    Some devices show a practical widget when the screen is locked, but not of compact z1.
    I usually listen to music on spotify and when I received a call, the cell phone showed the widget on the locked screen. Not to mention that I was able to control spotify with the headset control.
    Then I stuck the screen again and it no longer works.
    I tried to find a configuration, but I couldn't.
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you

  • Cannot load games 'Titanic', 'Travel' - no message just a flicker on the screen, then the game stops. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d.

    I have win7, Windows Home premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Elite I - 7 core intel and Gateway screen (fx2300). After the last update for windows and ATI, I had problems to read my games - some don't is not loading, some give me access violations, others do not go full-screen. Oh, now I can no longer adjust the resolution of my screen for anything other than the highest or lowest values acceptable (everthing in between is blocked).  I have supported the ATI update several times, but it takes to watch TV in hd. I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games. Initially, they were access violations and some games would not work, I have the update and reinstall it and other games would get the access violation? Now I can't load games 'Titanic', 'Travel', 'Nancy Drew - lights camera curses'. -No message, just a flickering on the screen, then the game ends. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d. I have directx 11. All my games worked at the beginning of April. .  I have directx 11.

    First thing to do would be to check the compatibility of the individual games that you are trying to play the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Here is the link:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Then, DO NOT ever update the drivers through Windows Update. Always install the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Is your Windows 7 install an upgrade of Windows Vista?

    Titanic, travel, etc. - are these games, bigfish, BTW?

    If so, contact them.

    I feel ultimately that your user account may have got corrupted somehow.

    Create a new user account and check if you can play the games there.

    If so, fix the damaged user account.

  • How to store Internet Explorer running when the screen is locked?

    Hello! So, I am owner of a Surface... Yes! Somehow...

    Because Microsoft App Store refuses to give us of Pandora, Youtube and other needed applications, the only way to use these pages is through Internet Explorer...

    (in my opinion, they do it so that someone using Internet Explorer)

    Now, ok, I did that! I search for the pages I need and have pin them at the beginning... Yes, problem solved?

    NO.... The screen, if you don't touch anything, or move the cursor or something, it locks itself automatically after a certain time... and the music and the videos just stop playing.

    Now, when I go to Internet Options, I can't find anything to fix this. Change PC settings or... In customize, where it says lock screen Apps, it gives you the opportunity to choose "the apps run in the background...". ", but Internet Explorer is not available for this.

    Now, someone, anyone... tell me how that's possible! How can I leave Pandora running or a 1 hour running YouTube video?

    What are my options?

    1. setting of the Tablet does not interrupt or stop using the internet explore when the screen is locked... Is it still possible?

    2. the Tablet for only auto setting not lock screen when I use some applications, such as Internet Explorer (again probably not possible)

    3 magically App Store makes it available Youtube Pandora Facebook and other necessary apps (pfffff apparently does not have to spend)

    4. all that have worked for you guys... Any Suggestions?

    These are just little things that have made use of my annoying and incompetent little practical Surface... It's sad when smartphones can be more useful and practical than my Surface... really really sad. This comes from someone who wants this work effective and favourable way to the customer.

    Thank you for reading, for help, for viewing and understanding, I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem!

  • HP 550 laptop: unable to have 4 GB of RAM in the machine without patterns on the screen and locks

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop HP 550 used that came with no RAM. According to the specifications, the laptop uses 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. So, I bought 2 sticks of 2 GB of RAM from Newegg, found here.

    Ready with my MemTest86 + CD in the drive and the 2 sticks of RAM inserted, I booted up the machine. During the POST, it detected all of the 4 GB of memory. Everything seems fine at this point. MemTest86 + load, then, a few seconds pass and then... a weird pattern is displayed on the screen. The system is locked also up. You can see a screenshot of this in here.

    I then tried to run the tester of memory in the BIOS, but the part passing through the test, he showed that there was an address of memory has failed. The system locked up here as well. After the reboot, I noticed a bunch of U in the upper part of the screen during the boot process that had never been there before. You can see a screenshot of this in here.

    So now, at this point, thinking that one of the RAM sticks may be bad, I tested each stick individually testing a stick at a time in the first place, then a stick at a time in the second slot. MemTest86 + and tester of memory in the BIOS, past every time. Not once is there any model on the screen, not to mention that the U in the upper part of the screen that show during the startup process. And every time I swapped the 4 GB to 2 GB or 2 GB 4 GB, the system recognized during POST.

    The laptop came with no OS. I thought, what the heck, let me see what happens when I leave the two sticks in and attempt to install XP Pro. Well, it was even more interesting. The "Welcome to setup" screen, I press ENTER to start the XP installation. The next screen that appeared is what is shown here. The system locked up as well. But, if I take a stick so that one stick is in the machine and then try to install XP again, it continues without any problem.

    I found a second laptop make extra stable on who had a bar of 1 GB 667 MHz in it. I put two of my 2 GB sticks in the second laptop and ran the tester of memory in the BIOS as MemTest86 +. These tests. On the cell phone issue, I put 2 GB each key in first slot, individually, while leaving the key 1 GB from the second computer laptop into the second slot and past memory tests and installing XP ran fine.

    So, basically, the system works perfectly with anywhere from 1 to 3 GB of RAM in it, but if I put 4 GB in there, patterns and blocks begin to appear.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, it is much appreciated!

    What is the Celeron or Core 2 Duo version? The specs say it must be able to handle 4 gigs, but I seem to remember that others have had problems with 4 gigs on Celeron systems. Actually a reference in said Quickspecs it can perform 4 concerts only if you have the 965 chipset, not the 960 chipset:

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/13091_na/13091_na.PDF

    If you install XP Pro, you need not more 3 concerts in any case... the 4th concert is not used by a 32 bit OS. The memory that you have purchased is of high quality and is not the issue. I liked the screenshots... at least you have a colorful show.

  • My HP Pavilion laptop g6 hangs on the screen then the screen goes black!

    Hi, I have a laptop Hp pavilion g6 running on windows 7 that I bought for my high school diploma. Of course she had only one year warranty. At first, all was well, then he would start gel and goes black. I restored to factory settings, and everything was fine until Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning I woke up and I went to turn on my laptop after hibernating all night, as I usually do. Only instead of commissioning, he went to the logon screen and after clicking on enter my password it froze. He stayed there for a good 2 hours and then the screen went black and the small arrow white that presented themselves. After that, nothing so I turn it off and back on it. It does the same thing. Last night, after trying for several hours, I restored to factory again. This morning it worked for a few hours, then the office frozen and then the screen went black and is insensitive. Currently, it is still insensitive.

    Update: it works fine in Safe Mode.

    Hello

    303 error code is a failure of the short test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This also corresponds to the start-up question and would explain why you can run safe mode because the disk is under less load (that is, much less read/write requests).

    I gathered from your original post that the laptop is no longer under warranty - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and your notebook series g6 Nr - see here for an explanation.

    Kind regards

  • orientation of the screen from locking/unlocking code

    I know that we can lock the screen orientation by setting autoOrient false tag in the xml file.

    I want a certain vision in my application must be blocked to the landscape, while another view to lock on the portrait, and others without orientation lock. Is it possible to do? Or I have to manually manage it me via OrientationChangeEvent?

    Thank you

    AutoOrients is not something you can change during execution (unfortunately), so your only option is to allow it, listening for the orientationChange event and in some cases of preventDefault() on it.

    Peter is right, but the solution seems a bit more complicated than it should be, probably because it targeted AIR 2.5, where they took setOrientation() API for a reason any...

    If you target AIRT 2.7, stage.setOrientation () should be all you need to use to manually set the direction, IE when the view is loaded, you manually set the direction landscape and preventDefault on all the orientation changes. Then, when the view is dropped, you setOrientation() to what it was previously and allow events to pass by...

    Hi inf24,

    It is difficult to say what is causing this problem, but such objects on the screen are normally associated with defective graphics card or wrong display drivers.
    I initially update the display driver, but only use the driver from Toshiba. Other drivers are not pre-tested and from my own experience, I can say that they could cause problems.
    Check this box!

    Regarding your CPU question I have no idea but if everything works at the moment it of pretty well! :)
