Please notify

Hi Bellfeather,

·          Did you the latest changes on the computer?

·          When was the last time it was working fine?

·          When you receive the error message?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Cannot open SCSI device ' devices/vmfs/genscsi / vmhba3:5:0:0 '(scsi3:0): the file is not found. Cannot configure scsi3.

    I get this error when you add a new SCSI device to one of my Virtual Machines, the device is a tape drive HP SureStore DAT40. The error occurs when the virtual machine is running, around 60% powerup.

    I tried two types of SCSI cards, a "Adaptec 29160N" & a "Adaptec 29160LP" and two different cables, I get the same error with both. The ESX 3i 3.5.0 host to see two SCSI cards when checking under Configuration and then to storage adapters. When you click the SCSI card in the adapters of ESXi storage options, I see the tape drive listed as vmhba3:5:0 for the band and vmhba3:5:1 for the media changer. This makes me believe that, from the point of view compatibility, everything is good to go.

    When I change the instance of VM to add the tape drive, I select new SCSI device which passes next to select the SCSI device in the options, I see HP - HP and media - bands like peripheral parts possible. I tried a variety of virtual device nodes and they all produce the same error that has been pasted above. When ok is clicked it adds the new SCSI device and a new SCSI Controller 1 using the LSI Logic Controller, I also tried all the options under this menu, 'None', 'Virtual' 'Physical' and I have even changed the Type of controller BusLogic, same results even if I get the error posted above.

    The server in question is a Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 x 3 GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 300 + GB HD.

    I searched the net and these forums and did not find any post about the error posted above, I have some hair left on my head and I don't know what to do at this point. What is a compatibility issue? I tried to add the SCSI device on another virtual computer on the same ESXi host and it gives me the same error. I know the tape drive, scsi cards, and two scsi cables, I am using all work correctly.

    Any ideas?http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/confused.gif

  • TWAIN with Officejet 6700 problem - cannot open TWAIN device default

    I'm having a problem with my online banking application to open default device TWAIN (Officejet 6700 Premium) to allow a check I want to file online scan. The application installs an add-on Internet Explorer called EZTwainX by Dosadi (version 1.64b7). However, when I click on the scan button to scan the front of the cheque, I get a message "Cannot open default peripheral TWAIN".  Any help to fix this would be appreciated.

    My computer is a Dell 530 running Windows 7 64 - bit OS (recently installed).

    Internet Explorer 11 (version 11.0.9600.17041). I guess IE is 32-bit position where he doesn't explicitly say 64-bit in Help - about Internet Explorer.

    HP Officejet 6700 Premium also recently installed in Win7 64-bit environment.

    Note: Before the recent installs above I not had this problem on Windows XP SP3 using the HP Photosmart C7280 AIO printer.

    Hi Provost,

    I am able to scan documents or photos using the HP software.

    And I checked control panel - uninstall. Bandoo neither Movie toolbar are installed.

    On a hunch, I decided to download Java again. He said that I had already installed the latest version but I re-installed anywaye I did it, I am now able to file online using the TWAIN of Java Applet. My TWAIN problem seems to be solved with the resettlement of Java SE Runtime Environment 7 update 55 (32 bit).

    I thank very you much for your reply and recommendations.

  • Laptop HP 15-R204NE: cannot open Device Manager?

    Hello

    I'm having the following problem when I try to open the Device Manager:

    He asked the permission of the Microsoft Management Console before giving me this message.

    This started happening after I installed and uninstalled multiple copies of Visual Studio and MS Office, because I had problems. My laptop is passed to control drive C before starting to check for errors and repair them.

    Can someone provide a fix for the problem please?

    I highly appreciate the help.

    Kind regards.

    The extent of the corruption of files on your system may be beyond any simple diagnosis and repair.

    I think your only option now is the restoration of the system, a repair or re - install. Restoration of the system from an earlier date is easier, even if you indicated that you do not want to. If you do not have the support of HP Recovery then your Windows recovery options are explained here:

  • Cannot open the application "Mail" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported

    I work on a MacBook Pro mid 2012

    Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

    The Mail app suddenly quit and when I tried to resume, I got this message

    "Cannot open the application"Mail"because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    This also happens with the "Maps" app

    All Mac software are up to date, but "Mail" has been working fine since my last update that was awhile ago.

    I am confused to say the least. Suggestions? Thank you!

    If you do a Get Info (command - I) on Mail and Maps applications, what version numbers do you see?

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Why cannot open itunes with windows 10

    Why cannot open iTunes with windows 10

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. (Yes, I see that you've done that but maybe not the specific deletions which are mentioned).

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    See also install missing components in case the installation of a component at a time is successful.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • iPod touch will not got to some Web sites - "Safari cannot open the page because the network connection has been lost."

    Safari refuses to go to certain websites (facebook.com, youtube.com) on my iPod Touch and instead displays this error:

    S afari cannot open the page because the network connection has been lost.

    The bubble at the top where I typed in the URL doesn't change, it always says "facebook.com" or something else.

    No matter where I am, so it won't get fixed by resetting my home Wi - Fi router. Other sites load fine. I have reset the iPod, too, by pressing the sleep button and one on the front (whatever it's called) until I see the apple logo. I also did 'Story clear and data Web site' in the Safari settings.

    I searched the web and found a number of threads that start with similar complaints, but I can't find one where the problem has been resolved in fact.

    Thank you!

    Not "no matter where I am," means, it happens with all networks?

    If so:

    Try:

    -Reset the device iOS. Nothing will be lost

    Device iOS Reset: Hold down the On / Off button and the Home button at the same time for to

    ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    -Reset all settings

    Go to settings > general > Reset and tap reset all settings.

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as your contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) are not affected.

    -Restore from backup. See:

  • 8430 PXI cannot open serial ports

    Hi all

    I have problems using the NI PXI-8430/8 map serial ports.

    After installing the driver, the device works very well and the troubleshooter MAX serial shows all 8 ports as adopted and I can access ports.

    After a restart of the system, I can not access the ports of 8430. This utility lists all the ports 'Impossible' with the message "cannot open port.

    In the Device Manager configuration seems correct. Also, I find no error in the Windows registry (COMDB,...). Everythings seems good enough.

    I think that theres might be no other application that could take control of all ports, especially not after a reboot.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers, reorganize the com-numbers and I have already changed the material 8430. Nothing solved the problem...

    Does anyone have a solution or any ideas?

    My configuration:

    Rack of 1078 / controller: PXI-8135 / Serial Ports: PXI-8430/8
