Cannot disconnect normally after the installation of ArticleMarketingRobot

My computer is running Windows XP. It's after that I think I installed a program called ArticleMarketingRobot that I was no longer able to disconnect in the usual way. I.e. when I press "Stop the computer" at the bottom left of the screen, I don't get the three icons (red, orange and green) coming in the middle of the screen.

So my only way of extinction is by means of the on/off switch which I understand is a no no. could a good trying to tell me how to handle this? Thank you.

    Hello

    Normally after the installation of recovery your laptop should work fine again.

    In my opinion, it could be a malfunction of the equipment. Did you test the HARD drive for bad sectors? You can do this with Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the ISO image and burn it to a disk. Then you can boot from it and test your HARD drive for errors.

    I also recommend to check the RAM for errors: http://memtest86.com/
    Memtest is a good diagnostic tool for the RAM.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

    [Moved from comments]

    Hi Dr.Kamuzora,

    There is no Windows 7 drivers for your model. You can see the following link for more details:

    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/modelHome?FREETEXT=556028

    Windows 7 drivers are not available, first of all, let's try to uninstall their current card drivers and restart the computer so that Windows will try to install the base for your sound card drivers.

    Refer to the procedure below:

    a. press Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, press on ENTRY.

    b. in Manager devices, go to the audio, video controller and game, expand it.

    c. right-click on its index map, click on uninstall and click Ok.

    d. restart the computer.

    If the sound does not work, we will try to install the XP drivers (from the link above) in compatibility mode.

    Refer to this link: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  • I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

    I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

    Hello

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

    Method 1

    Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

    This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

    (a) minimal

    (b) network

    (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)

    For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems

    RESOLUTION

    (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG

    (b) click the Boot.ini tab

    (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]

    (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT

    (e) click OK

    (f) restart Windows

    The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

    Method 2:

    If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

    Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    do it right.

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.
