Bad step Wait() runtime

Hello

I have a very strange problem. We still use TestStand 3.1 for our tests of production and we are currently running TestStand 12 different test stations.

I just got a new nootbook that I use for the development of tests, but now I have a very strange problem. When I run the tests with a Wait step (execution)

time for this step takes 3 - 5 times longer than the number of seconds that I put in the expression. For example if I do a sequence containing a single

Wait (5) this should take about 5 seconds to perform the step but it takes 15 to 25 seconds to run! And to make it more strange, the execution time report

Watch 5.1 seconds? All the other steps I run runs at a normal speed, my own or types of standard step (at least what I've discovered so far).

I had installed on my laptop, older without problems TestStand. I have tested both on XP with and without SP3, but no luck!

Now I must find out if TestStand or my laptop that is causing this problem, it is not easy to explain this problem for people a HP. What clock makes the

Wait for the use of the service and could I do a sequence of debugging that could give me more information about my problem.

I have now reinstalled my phone 3 times and reinstalled TestStand 6 times so I do desperate to me, anyone could give me some ideas what could cause this problem.

Concerning

Anders

Although this talk article of a bug related to an AMD processor and your machine has a processor intel CPU, maybe the solution it might still work. I think what the computer to use a different hardware clock by adding the indicator/usepmtimer to the boot.ini file.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/895980

This links makes it sound like the problem or a similar problem can also occur with intel hyperthreading or enhanced speed step systems and circumvention of boot.ini even use/usepmtimer is one of the suggested options.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/835730

I don't know how he is sure to try this workaround but I understand if you do not prefer. I would definitely support upward everything you have is important before you try the boot.ini changes incase she ends up making the machine unbootable. If you do not end up try this workaround it please let us know how it goes.

Thank you

  • Step wait E10 is too long! Help me, please.

    If at the end of one of our waterways Nurture (a series of several points of communication with intervals not to wait between them), we had inserted all the people who had flowed through into a "hold" not wait 12 months. However, we now want to feed them other streams to feed and re-engage with them.

    Is there a way to just go off the campaign, reduce the waiting stage, add "move to program" step and reactivate to feed them through without having to wait a year? Or is my solution to export the contacts in the "hold" not wait 12 months only and feed them manually as a segment of the download list in other streams nurture or re-engagement campaigns?

    Thanks for your time, people.

    Hi Jorge,.

    Yes, a campaign can be turned off and you can set the waiting time at a small fraction of time step, then add your step "move to program" after this stage of waiting. When I met similar problems I put step queue time to something like .1 hours or even .01 hours.

    Alternatively, you can disable the campaign, double click on the bubble of names on the waiting stage, choose "Select all", then click the 'move' at the bottom of the window. Now, you can move these names on your canvas.

    I hope this helps!

  • Program generator: try new decision rule vs waiting for a specified time.

    I want to just make sure I understand: when I use the rule of decision re feature - try, for example, for a week, members "sit" at the level of decision rule for a week before moving on to the next step?

    Currently, I use steps of waiting and no rules of decision to try again. For example, I have a step 'send an email 1', then another step "wait 7 days", then my decision rule is "Outlook opened email 1", way Yes leaves program, no path sends e-mail 2.» It would be better if instead, I 'send email 1', and then the decision rule "they opened email 1", way Yes leaves program, no way would try this rule of decision for 7 days and then send to "email 2" step without using the waiting stage?

    I do not use try again for more than hourly, if my Bulk mode would be unaffected.

    So, what are the advantages of disadvantages of the use of each? Any preference?

    Thank you!

    P.S. I'm on E9 - not sure if it matters.

    I was just thinking about this same question a few days ago. I usually use the rule decision try again, because if I understand he would check to see if the answer was Yes every hour and if yes go this person right then. If the answer is Yes, a day after the sending of the email they would pass to the next step instead of having to wait 7 days.

    However I just has a new society where they still use the waiting step not the retry. It's a good question, I think that the best answer would be that if you want people to move as quickly as possible use try again and if you need to wait 7 days of calendar between the emails use the waiting stage.

  • Router WRT54G3G-ST - no internet connection - cannot reset the router

    Hello.  Some longer story certainly not short (I apologize for the length of hiking...  I don't know what is and isn't important, will scan, please...  I'm sorry...) : recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Anti-virus and Firewall and a router Wireless-G Linksys WRT54G3G-ST with its AC adapter plugged into the wall power outlet and a network cable directly connected to my computer.) received a drive-by generic.DX!12536d125737 Trojan horse without me download whatever it is one of the few sites I visit every day.  My internet connection has crawled, and I have now no connection at all.

    I've been making McAfee good volunteers forums help quick and very helpful...  They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for me, I downloaded my own second computer (a laptop) on my flash drive, then on my infected computer.  I ran, tried adapting so recommended, and only then discovered the Trojan horse killed my broadband entirely.  I scanned with it anyway and he quickly found and deleted / quarantine 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else.  Then, they gave me a link to a patch off updater file and tells me scan in SafeMode until nothing else has been found and check if it has fixed my lack of broadband access.  I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.

    Then, they recommended WinsockXPFix.  Which I ran and he did all his OK registry changes, I restarted if necessary but still no broadband unfortunately.  WinsockXPFix using make things worse for me with the registry changes, did he?  I used the backup of the registry to save the registry before changed files before running.  Should I come back since I don't always have a broadband connection?  McAfee volunteers kindly then told me that I had to hard reset the router, but I tried many times with no fortune.  I'm at a loss as to what, if anything, do we hope to get my broadband, please...

    It is very confusing with many different variants for resetting routers, and what should I do to my router model (Variations: unplug this cable/adapter exactly where; pressed the reset button between 5 and 30 seconds, the computer restarts, or no, 1 or 2 minutes between different steps, waiting or not - and for all these exactly when in the restart procedure.).

    I have reset once before with the reset button, page of routers to http://192.168.1.1default admin password, then it changed to security, etc. but this time I can't make it work.  I'm happy as possible to try once again to get an appointment by perhaps, something please...  When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or to any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I am offline, which is annoyingly correct.  I do not have and never had Zone Alarm, but disable my McAfee Firewall does not help.  IPCONFIG at the command prompt gives me an address of 169.254.X.X assigned Windows

    I was going to use the routers Wizard installation CD to try to reset the router, and if that didn't try to get its firmware version number to perhaps upgrade.  But I was going to ask here first of all for expert advice because I read a lot of things that can go wrong during the upgrade of the firmware.  However, analysis the CD (without launching the CD). McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP. Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD.  McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
    I scanned my computer together several times and no infections have been reported.  I downloaded the file several times, both www.virustotal.com (39 online antivirus) and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time each virus scanner didn't report any possible infection.  My updated virus scanner McAfee reported a false positive and still Jotti and VirusTotal 2 scanners from McAfee report the file as own probable?  Is "_desktop.ini" a file legitimate Linksys?  I have not found any information on Linksys forums about this.  My problems just keep multiplying... mentioning problems more...

    Find this suspicious file on the CD I decided to download instead the Linksys Setup Wizard
    (Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download )
    File: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
    my flash drive, then on my infected computer that is connected to the router.  I ran it (downloaded the version of the file: 4.2.0.007 - original version CD Setup Wizard: 4.0 print on CD front) and immediately gave it 1 of the 3 options: Mobile broad band only, high flow only WAN, or WAN high throughput and high speed Mobile.  I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
    It seemed that he was trying to go in the entire router configuration process.  I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I read in the user's Guide, and besides - it is my understanding.  The installation process stopped at only 30% done "router not found, make sure that the router is connected correctly and try again."  How many Overwrite original router configuration files I did continue?  I'm quite confused.  The wizard does not check if the router has previously been set up before setting up again?  Unlike version caused my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard?  Is the horse of Troy generic.DX!12536d125737 who killed my trash to wide band my computer settings so badly that my router is undetectable/essentially not configured?

    Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable.  The fact that I had still no broadband on my Dell XPS main use computer that is connected to the Linksys router.  However, my laptop, with map data in the router, was for the first time able to find network - constant connection and speed is great, it's what she allways has been on the laptop (the Trojan/router problems, my laptop only for broadband with the data in the laptop card.).  Perhaps the cable network was simply not re-connected properly/entirely for 1 of the many attempts of resetting, indeed, it could also explain the downloading, installation wizard is not able to find the router/only get 30% done.

    Laptop prompt IPCONFIG/all with data card Sprint inserted into the slot of your laptop:
    IP = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.255
    68.28.90.91 = DNS servers
    68.28.82.91

    Laptop prompt IPCONFIG/all with Sprint data card inserted in the router:
    192.168.1.1XX = IP address
    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway = 192.168.1.1
    = 192.168.1.1 DHCP server
    Servers DNS = 192.168.1.1

    Since my laptop started to work with the data card into the router, I have not tried again to reset the router and I tried the downloaded installation wizard.  I don't want to spoil anything about it any further as I have (?) / the Trojan has, and I need expert advice, please, about which of the 2 if not more, I do (first?).  On my laptop, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer Gets the ToolTip for the user name and password, but I did not.  I read that you should not reset the router or (?) Is it just 1 or two please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is connected directly to the router - that is not my laptop.  On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still says I am offline when you type http://192.168.1.1 in.  My IP address on it is still a 169.254.X.X assigned Windows and a command PING 192.168.1.1 prompt returns with 'Destination host unreachable.', as it has been always and even with all the other addresses (with the exception of 169.254.X.X).

    Boring 2nd "update" of all kinds, my apologies for the length, as always: I've been so focused on the horse of Trojan/broadband killing that cluelessly largely forgot I switched with AOL.  Try AOL dial-up does not work, madness thickens...  Software AOL tells me to check my connection, but all the phone cords are connected as should be.  I plugged a phone directly into the wall jack and I get the tone, I can call OK and the phone rings and receives calls OK.  State of the devices-Modems-Properties-Device Manager says that the modem is not working properly, and "resources" tab shows no conflicts.  Query Modem on the diagnosis tab seems OK to me, as does the journal, but I'm certainly not an expert like allways.  I change all the settings from anywhere.
    I noticed and that check IPCONFIG it says that my IP address is 192.168.1.100 it lasts maybe that someday (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe more, I don't know - I don't check that often to define (should I?).  Meanwhile my broadband, or my works switched.  I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else.  I am convinced the wrong killed Trojan horse my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my prior V.9x DFVc Modem 56 K Conexant D850.  In addition, I am not convinced the Trojan horse is not still lurk everywhere on my computer, I think that it's...

    Any help with the restoration of my high speed/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please...  Thank you!

    Hello.  There has been entirely too long since I answered, I'm sorry.  There is no excuse, and it is terribly rude to me...  You took the time to read and answer me, and I appreciate very much that in effect.  I apologize for being late, I'm sorry...

    After that I left my message, I downloaded several virus/spyware scanners, etc from my laptop on my USB key, then my other computer for some in-depth analysis necessary.  Was one I downloaded Network Magic that somehow, some way fixed both my high speed/dial-up internet on my main computer is connected to the router WRT54G3G-ST.  I don't know what/how he fixed my connection, but the connection high speed flow works brilliantly since...  Network Magic has worked for me, and I highly recommend it to all those who have stubborn lack of internet problems (caused by Trojans to this) that I did.  There is no guarantee this will work, but it did for me in my amazement.

    Network Magic, as is the Linksys is owned by the parent company Cisco.  Respectfully to all the knowledgeable experts here (which clearly I'm not), I don't want to venture out of the limits.  I'm trying to simply hope to be useful and save a few headaches for both you volunteers and users... buy a new router or the computer was in my mind, with all due respect, I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic users if the reset of the router/all other fails, please.  I used WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility before using Network Magic, I don't know if it matters.

    I also upgraded my package of McAfee, I installed on my old software rather than uninstall the first, which caused errors in all things virus scanner a critical need.  I install right now, but it caused some delay to refocus my time.  Some virus scans found many Trojan horses, some were same / in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to ensure a clean uninfected.

    Certainly, it doesn't fully explain the long time, and I'm sorry, once again.  It's just that I'm being cautious and slow in all this.  To answer the first very good idea, you did: Unfortunately, there is no room on my other computer to connect the router in to, which even so caused frustration (at the time).  I forgot to include this in my post new length of countless things to see / do not forget...  It was a brilliant idea, however, I thank you...

    Thank you for your time and your help, I appreciate it sincerely...  Thank you...  I think and hope that this matter is resolved.  It seems to be, the router works perfectly as it always has, and I am positively happy as can be in this regard.  Thank you...  Peace...

  • 12.4.3.1 iTunes crashes when syncing iPhone installed 6 9.3.5

    As it is said, iTunes force crashes/closes unexpectedly when you try to sync with my iPhone 6. It is a problem, too I had with previous versions of iOS and the phone seems stuck after saving the phone, usually the last stage, or more generally during one of the steps: "waiting for items to synchronize." When I quit iTunes then reconnect the phone, it tends to go very well. That doesn't happen whenever I have clocks and is random. Was wondering if others have this problem and what could be done to remedy this.

    What you do is now very well. "Pending items to synchronize" is sometimes, especially after a system update in a long process, in order to not jump ship too early. You can also try performing a reset, while the device is connected to iTunes, but iTunes recovery generally works better.

    ------

    Try these standard troubleshooting steps.

    Reset: hold the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10 to 20 seconds).

    If this does not help, you may need to restore your iPhone: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

    If your backup in iTunes, make sure that it is an encrypted backup.

  • The streaks 'Broken' and lacking in price fixing

    I had a very good week (I rediscovered the joy of running) and was thinking about getting my goal 'Move' from 620 to 630, when earlier mistakenly said watch I broke my "Streak to move longer", and I also did not help 'Perfect Week (any activity)' or 'Perfect Week (Move).

    This time I dead it rights - said the 'weekly summary' on the watch, I exceeded my goal 'Move', says 7 times, the 'Active energy' for each day from 4/25 to 5/1 that I had more than 620 calories, I received the 'Perfect Week (fiscal year)' and 'Perfect Week (furnished).

    If I go to the Genius Bar with all of this evidence that there is a bug in the watch, people at the Genius Bar will be able to correct the data on my watch? And here's a picture where it says I have really reached my goal 'Move' daily last week.

    The following steps can lead to missing achievements being credited:

    • Close open applications on your iPhone: click twice on the Home button, and then drag upward on each preview of the app.
    • Close the two devices together, and then restart your iPhone first:
    • To turn off your watch: press and hold the button side until you see the cursor off the power; slide it to turn off.
    • To reactivate: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

    If the results are not credited immediately after you follow these steps, wait until the next day to see if they are credited to the place then.

  • iWorks ' 09 (Pages 4.0.5) on El Capitan?

    Hey people, I use ' 09 iWorks (Pages v4.0.5) on an iMac in early 2009 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Thinking of upgrading to El Capitan... no idea if I will have compatibility issues if I update OS?

    What worries me is that I use the Pages and Numbers intensively for work (a lot of design work) and can't afford to lose access to current to create new documents/capacity.

    Thank you!

    Sandra

    Sandra,

    If you have still this detail iWork ' 09 DVD, you will need to reinstall after the upgrade of the El Capitan and then apply Update Apple iWork 9.3 to Pages ' 09 v4.3 - a sine qua non for compatibility El Capitan. The update, you'll have to v2.3 Numbers and Keynote 5.3 too. Note that I put the emphasis on a retail DVD iWork ' 09.

    I have Pages ' 09 installed v4.3 here on El Capitan 10.11.4 and it works fine. There are a few problems with the hyphenation does not properly, it lack signs of fusion and mailing functionality and the menu share: mail is unusable.

    Apple will not warn us that a next version of OS X break iWork ' 09 applications. They have retired and don't give it any thought.

    Skip the installation of any Keynote v6 applications, current page v3 and v5 numbers because they are not based and complete rewrites on the original code of iWork ' 09. They are subsets of function iWork ' 09 and introduce new, incompatible documents formats using the same file name extension. Alert from the quagmire.

    Before that you plan to upgrade, set a new post on the community of El Capitan points to consider before upgrading to Snow Leopard to El Capitan. It will give you good ideas to prevent the possible bad steps.

  • Satellite A200 - 1CR PSAE0E - keyboard after installing XP problem

    Yesterday, that I changed my OS to XP SP2. And now I have problem with keyboard - sliders and delete key work inproperly.

    Usually, when you stop now a key, she stops typing or move the slider to the screen - now when I get a cursor for a while, then stop and I have to wait until it stops. Other keys work fine.

    This problem appeared not on vista.

    Please help with it, I can't play any games. I have the standard xp keyboard driver. Are there different or software keyboard drivers? I don't think I've forgotten something when changing os - display installed, sound, lan, wlan, driver controls (not sure exactly what is this to), t - pad, flashcard, modem to other ideas?

    Sorry for my bad English. waiting for your response.

    Hello!

    The keyboard is no driver or additional software available. It part of the operating system.

    In your case I would try it with an external keyboard and mouse.
    In addition, in Control Panel, you can set up different things.

  • Information from LabVIEW to TestStand using a notifier TestStand and the SetEx method

    Hi all

    I'm trying to use the parameter dataPropObj of the SetEx method to send information of LabVIEW TestStand during setting of the notifier. The works of declarant perfectly by itself when I wire variant empty constant by default entry dataPropObj of the INotification invoke method node, but all that is wired in causes some kind of problem. I tried wiring a string (which, according to the description of SetEx, should work), as well as a string converted to a Variant. If the string is empty, no work. TestStand hangs at step waiting for this notification. Again, the notification works very well when I wire only a constant varying vacuum at the dataPropObj of entry.

    All this is to work as part of a larger VI, but I extracted just this feature on its own sequence and vi, so there should not be other interfering factors I can think. If it makes a difference, the VI is called asynchonourly during the cleanup of the MainSequence group. I have to do this by calling a sous-suite as a new thread.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    You must use Engine.NewPropertyObject () to create the variable you pass to the dataPropObj parameter. For example, if you want to pass a string, you must do the equivalent of:

    PropertyObject myPropObj = Engine.NewPropertyObject (PropValType_String, false, "", 0);

    myPropObj.SetValString ("", 0, MyStringValue);

    Hope this helps,

  • complete execution while the background thread runs

    After the passage of TestStand 4.1 in 2012, I see an interesting problem.

    I start a MainSequence via the SinglePass execution entry point using the parallel model. In ProcessSetup (in the execution of N), I start a background thread that performs certain tasks for viewing. Then the model passes by "Initialize TestSockets" and starts my MainSequence (in year N + 1).

    While the MainSequence is running, run N hangs in ParallelModel.seq > Single Pass, step "Wait for TestSockets", as it should. Usually, when the MainSequence is over, puts an end to execution and execution N goes to the next step "Check to terminate" and some time later, it passes through ProcessCleanup - where I'd send my background thread notification to stop.

    It works as long as I do not start the background thread. But when this thread is running, the execution of N + 1 never leaves the MainSequence. I arrive at a breakpoint at the end of MainSequence, ahead, and then all executions are happily showing a green light and continue to operate on. So running N never leaves "Waiting for TestSockets" and never reaches ProcessCleanup, so my son does not receive the signal of endpoint etc.

    But I distinctly remember that it worked in TestStand 4.1, and anyway, I don't understand this. Why, a background, started in the execution of N, thread prevents the execution of N + 1 to terminate?

    Concerning

    Peter

    "When execution starts a sequence in a new thread (not waiting for the thread to finish at the end of the sequence), should take care at the end of his MainSequence wire in order to put an end to herself in order for execution to terminate?"

    What do you mean by terminate? Process templates are not normally completed executions. Do you mean, "all discussions in an execution must complete before the end of the execution?"? If so, then the answer is Yes.

    I'm not completely your explanations above. I'm not sure what you mean by signs, but I think you're misunderstanding what terminate means in TestStand. Termination occurs only when a user explicitly requests a run to finish (e.g. finish all) or your sequence has an action to complete or by program initiates a terminate. Without endpoint explicit that past, executions normally end when all threads are finished executing. If you are spawning runs and new threads, you must come up with a mechanism to let them know when they have to leave. I do NOT recommend relying on or using termination for this. Termination is as abandoned (but with a cleaning), it is not intended to be something that happens in the normal flow of execution. There are several ways to tell your worker when all discussions. Perhaps this posting you are referring to is a way. You can also use a notification teststand step, or a Boolean value in reference parameter.

    Hope this helps to clear things up,

  • Entry of smart camera reads low

    I have a 1722 smart camera.  Can't do the entries to read a value "high."  Apart from that, my application works well.

    I use the cable OR screw terminals block.  If I jumper power 0 or 1 (axis 2 or 8) to + 24V (pin5), always always read low entries, so I can never get past step waiting for a 'high' input before proceeding.  I used the data as well monitor while applying tension, but they always read '0 '.

    Note: the outputs also do not work; they are always at 24V, even when the low value (they pull-up to + 24).

    However, the LEDs work very well when I have them turn on and off.

    What Miss me on a conceptual level to have the entries to read?


  • Intermittently, he goes down with a black screen provides the following information: Boot from CD

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running with Windows Vista.  Intermittently, he falls down with a black screen provides the following information:

    Boot from CD

    Client MAC addr: 00 ID 09 88 CE 06

    PXE - E53: no boot file received

    PXE - M0F leaving Intel Boot Agent

    No available boot device - retype press to try

    To the point where I have indicated the asterisk above, it has a slash which rotates in a circular motion.

    My thought is that it's either the Windows code is corrupted or is a hardware failure.  While I am not positive, I feel that it occurs when Internet Explorer is used.   System Restore is not enabled on this computer, so this isn't an option.  Can someone help me understand this means and how I could fix this?  I know that will later Windows version can solve it, but this isn't the answer I'm looking for.  Thank you

    Attempt to initialize the network is not a 'possible', it is certain that your PC is doing exactly this depending on your BIOS settings. In addition, she tries the network initialization after already trying to start on an optical disc. The two attempts at device boot doesn't have, in all likelihood after having already failed the boot from the hard drive. There is no message to indicate than an attempt to boot to the hard drive, or he leaves the screen too fast to see you or you did not save it in your original post.

    My advice on the diagnosis is based on the studied the real model of your PC, not generic advice for all Dell PC with Vista installed.

    1. Your computer has already finished POST (Power O n Self TEST) otherwise you wouldn't see any attempt to start at all.
    2. You've already provided specific error messages.
    3. I have already advised the best and most approriate diagnostics for your PC.
    4. Your PC will not start in any mode if it becomes a default 'hard', rather than the intermittent fault means your original message. Start in any mode, you can and make a backup as soon as possible.
    5. Unless these recent changes include adjustments to the BIOS settings, they are irrelevant, that he is a boot failure which can be caused by anything done under Vista.
    6. Removing the external devices is never a bad step of troubleshooting if you encounter problems. I doubt it will help in this instance, but it will not hurt to try, especially if they are peripheral bootable.
    7. Startup Repair will not solve a hardware problem (by far the most likley scenario).
    8. System Restore is not usable unless you can actually start to Vista and it's never going to treat problems of material.
    9. IMO, this is not a software issue. See also point 4.
    10. If you have a hard drive failure, it is not recommended to try to reinstall the operating system. First of all prove that the hard drive is OK as advised before trying to re-setup. In addition, if you can, back up your data before reinstalling the operating system. In all likelihood, that's what you have to do but for a hard drive replacement.

    I repeat that a failing or failed hard drive is the most likely scenario. Other more distant possibilities include

    • A failed or failing disk controller (almost certainly on the motherboard)
    • Boot from the hard drive is disabled in the BIOS (highly unlikely if this anomaly is intermittent)
    • Some sort of weird for the failure of the BIOS
    • Option 3 mentioned in the previous post (unlikely unless your PC has been internally inspected/modified or subject to vibration displacement/hitting more/remove etc..)
  • Legaly how to get windows vista Installer?

    So, I bought the laptop with a windows vista. On the side rear of the computer, is the license key. When I buy my computer, nobody gives me windows cd, then, how legaly get the installer of windows vista? I don't want to go to shop, pay a lot of money for the cd. Maybe I can somehow download it? (Sru for my bad English) Waiting for answer :)

    There is no legal downloads of Vista installation discs.  Contact the people bought you from (or better, the manufacturer of the computer) and see if they'll sell you a copy at a reduced price and if not, at least get them to send you a set of recovery disc (for a small fee) in order to have a way to recover your system if it fails and needs to be reinstalled. Then ask if your computer has a recovery Partition, and if you can make your own disks Reccovery (and ask them exactly how to do this).  If you know someone with a genuine drive to Installation of Vista of the size of the bit, you can make a copy of their record (they are not marked as read) and then you will also only available for installation of not only but also for the recovery and repair options is not available on the recovery discs they provide or you can do.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
