  • Vista: The device can not start (error Code 10) for a USB CDC device which works fine in XP

    I have a USB device 2.0 DCC which works very well under all of our Windows XP machines, but not based on Vista.  The device uses the usbser.sys driver and emulation of the virtual Comm Port.

    The text of the listing shows the same information on Xp and Vista, except under vista it shows no open pipes.  Shows Device Manager: device can not start (error Code 10).

    Using Vista I can't connect to the vista of CDC through concentrators or device to any other device wireless hub except for a Dlink Wireless hub, which has a layer of software between the CDC device and the PC.  With Xp, it all works very well on more than one PC, with Vista, there are questions.  I use the INF manufacturer provided for Vista, still no results.

    Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Could not start the Windows Vista firewall

    Hi all

    I can't start the Windows Firewall service in anyway.

    I can't open it via Control Panel, as it is said simply: "the Windows Firewall settings cannot poster because the asscioated service is not running. You want to start the Windows Firewall service? »
    I click "Yes", then he said: 'Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service. There is no error code indicated.
    I tried running "wf.msc" using the Microsoft Management Console. When this window appears, he says: "there was an error opening the Windows Firewall with advanced snap-in security.; The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap could not load. Restart the Windows Firewall service on the computer that you are managing. "Error code: 0x6D9.
    As it seems, I can not start it this way or the other.
    I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the Services tab, then click services on the bottom, and this opens the Services window.
    In the new Services window, I try to start the service "Windows Firewall". I get a message saying: "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.; Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »
    Therefore, it does not. The service is set to automatic.
    I found another process called 'Base filtering engine', which I discovered is related to the use of the Windows Firewall service. Then, that I try to start this service, and he said: "Windows has no start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer." Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. »
    Still, I can't find a way to fix the problem. In addition, the service is set to automatic.
    So if someone could help me, give me ideas or tell me how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    P. S. sometimes, when I type things in the command prompt, I get a message saying that "the requested operation requires a rise." What it means
    ?
    EDIT:
    The base filtering engine
    IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules
    Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
    IPsec policy agent
    Routing and remote access
    Windows event collector
    Windows Firewall
    All of these services don't work, with each saying "Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer.; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ", with the exception of the Base Filtering Engine service.
    EDIT:
    I believe that the motor of filter of Bae is the root cause of the problem, because when I try to start it, it says "Windows cannot start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer. Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. ", so that all the other programs on this service, said depedent" Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer. " ; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ».

    Hello everyone, I solved the problem. The problem is a corrupted, file called "secdrv.sys. To resolve this problem, I had to first download the file "secdrv.sys' out of my operating system CD.

Extending .wim means a "file system Windows Image" and to see what files it contains, you will need to download what we call the "Windows Automated Installation Kit". Explicit instructions on the installation procedure and where to get this program, is here: "http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/86959-access-vista-install-dvd-files.html".

    Hello

    I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
    The program is installed, but once the autorun.exe appears (with the icons of the game, uninstall, website, out) I click on play and the game does not just start. My computing needs are fairly good for the game because I used to play the game on the same computer later.

    Thanks for your help

    Bink is what plays the scenes cut in many games.

    Installation folder of AOE 3 the binkw32.dll should be in games.
    If it is then it is may be damaged and reinstall the game normally would set the
    problem.

    AutoPatcher.exe - I do not know because I never use auto-patchers with games.
    I have always to download the patch and install manually.
    However, my game has the RockallDLL.dll file.

    I don't really know a good site to lead you to these files.
    You can find a binkw32.dll in another game. Try doing a search of
    Program Files (x 86) (or another location if you install games to the default locations). If you have the file in another game you can copy into your AOE3
    folder of the master installation.

    There was a lot of discussion on these forums about AOE3 so a
    search of these forums may find another suggestion.
    You can also try the specific AOE3 forums-

  • Installation of Vista on the new hard drive was interrupted, and now I can not start the computer

    So I decided that I need a bigger hard drive. I got a 500 GB hard drive, so I have it PLOPPED in my Acer Aspire 5517 with my vista boot drive, turned on and began to go through the process. Once he got to the phase 'installation complete' it seems to take a while, so I let it run all night. Once I got up, it was on a black screen with the mouse, I let stand a few more minutes but still nothing. I turned off and started it expects to find to return at the beginning of the installation, but instead he began to start from what is on the hard drive at this time. It got to the screen with the loading bar and the sign 'Microsoft Corporation'. The loading bar was very frigidity and stopped and started randomly. I let it do this while I went to school, but when I got home, it was always the same loading screen. I rebooted and tried to start in safe mode, but when I do it it stops at crcdisk.sys, and never forwarded charges. I tried to do the reset thing factory start it but that doesn't seem to work. My other puny hard drive still works, but the other does not. I searched the internet but have not seen any other problem like it. I want to just start completely clean of my new 500 GB. Please help!

    Hi James,

    1. What is the number of brand and model of the hard disk of 500 GB?

    2. How did the 500 GB hard drive connected to the computer? It is external or internal?

    To troubleshoot the unable to start the issue to cause corrupted driver, some files that can not be loaded during the startup process must be fixed or restored. So, let's check the disk by using the Windows Recovery Console.

    (a) put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ".

    (c) select a language, a time, a currency and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.

    (d) click on repair your computer.

    (e) (click on the operating system you want to repair), and then click Next.

    (f) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt. Type chkdsk c:/f to try to correct the errors.

    (g) Note: answer them when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the disk next boot Vista

    (h) after the recording of the disc, and then run sfc/scannow to check the corruption of system files.

    Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  • Equium A100-338 does not start the OS Vista - update Bios?

    Hi guys,.

    My laptop (a few months) decided to die and was told by tech support that it might be because of the BIOS. The problem is that the computer does not start the operating system (Vista) and the update of the BIOS available only is the version of windows. Are there any other mirror to get the traditional update or even a way to convert a the update the BIOS from Windows startup disk?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you can see that one version of BIOS on Toshiba page then only one version exists and is available!

    > The problem is that the computer does not start the Vista operating system
    I don t think that BIOS could be responsible for this problem.

    You must first provide more info on this problem!
    The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen? Have you tried to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    Please provide details!
