Cannot restart; Function F8 does not work; stuck at "restart windows." Put in standby mode.

Put the PC into standby mode.  Stuck in the status of "Recovery of Windows".  Impossible to restart.  Power off several times.  F8 doesn't work no more.

I don't think that XP shows a message "Windows Recovery" when it comes out of Stand By.

It does when it's Hibernation.

If you've been cycling power, you can have damaged your system files a bit and should probably start by running a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

  • Satellite A350-13 a - function keys does not work

    I have the Satellite A350-13. I installed Windows 7 for 2 weeks.

    The function keys does not work although I have installed the Toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys.

    What the solution to this problem?

    > Function keys does not work although I have installed the toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys

    Next to the VAP (value added package) you need to install the Flash Utility card support!
    Card Flash utility support controls the keys FN and not the VAP! But VAP is also needed.

    My NB200-134 of FN keys does not work after upgrade from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried to install all the drivers found on the Web from Toshiba website for my lappy but it still does not work.

    Help please

    Hi asalamk,

    The FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. I think you forgot to install these tools

    You should recheck the Toshiba page and download these two tools. Start with the installation of the package of added value, and then restart your laptop. After this utility installation of Support Flash Cards. Reboot once again and all the FN buttons should now work correctly.

    I use Firefox version 38.0.5, Windows 7

  • Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

    Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

    Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.

    I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
    * Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
    * Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Google for possible solutions, none found...

    Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.

    In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.

    I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance!

    For reference,.
    No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
    Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
    Windows Update
    A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsive

    Already installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...

    I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself.  Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again.  Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.

    With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention.  Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it.  One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.

    Hope this helps someone.  I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see.  If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.

  • the keyboard does not have to return the system to the standby mode

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system.

    The fundamental problem is that, after working properly for more than a year and a half, this Win7 machine suddenly stopped enlightenment of the mode before using the keyboard a few months ago. It still immediately responds to a mouse click, then dysfunction of the keyboard was only a minor inconvenience. The keyboard is equipped with a PS/2 connector, the mouse uses a USB port.

    However, several times lately the keyboard did not return after the awakening of the system; It is a biggest drawback. Each of these three times the keyboard had returned to normal after a reboot of the operating system, using the mouse to manipulate the Start Menu. I noticed nothing otherwise askew with the keyboard at any time, which suggests that this is not a problem with hardware keyboard. I would like to know how to get the system back to normal.

    I don't know if the following is relevant, but it is similar:
    There is a card audio semi professional, with its own control panel software, installed in the computer. With the exception of the occasional limited testing, I do no audio recording here, but I often work on audio recordings downloaded from other sources. Thus, the audio card is really only reading used mode.

    A few months ago a question arose on the settings of the control panel to monitor a recording against existing tracks. Under Win7, the map control panel is configured differently that in previous versions of Windows, if the answer was not immediately obvious.

    I worked on the necessary configuration changes in Control Panel of the card as a test to determine how this follow-up. I may also changed some settings in the console Windows, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, unlike in versions previous OS, the Windows mixer table affect use of the sound card and it is possible that I got all inputs muted in the Windows mixer as a general precaution.

    Put the system into "sleep" (in the Start Menu) is done several times during my normal day. After running these tests of control, I found that the card does not work after that system was return of the mode 'sleep'. Immediately after the trials I reset control panel of the sound card for my normal use. All seems OK for audio operation was normal except after public awareness of Sleep Mode.

    Audio playback seemed normal in all applications. Programs appear to progress successfully through a recording during playback. Indicators like meters, position of playback cursor and displays the elapsed time has shown its normal operation, but nothing has reached the map output Sockets. I could not find any audio settings that seem to not correct. The Device Manager said that the card was working properly. Restart the normal audio returned BONE, as it does now (most of the time) for the keyboard.

    I played with things for two or three weeks. I've posted questions on some audio related forums, but no suggestion had no effect. Finally, I was ready to uninstall the card its and its drivers, then reinstall, when I remembered on the System Restore Points.

    I found there was a generated system restore point made a few hours before I did my test of the monitor-the-new-record. I used the restore point and the audio card to return to normal, the awakening with the rest of the system.

    The only thing I could say to be uninstalled by the restoration of the system has a few updates of Microsoft Security Essentials. I immediately did a manual update of that, to ensure it would not be any effect on the audio. Audio worked properly since registration, including, but I have not retested monitoring check against existing tracks.

    It was shortly after the keyboard problem has started. In this case I don't know what it is changed on the computer that could have led to the problem, but it seems not unlikely that some settings in the registry system is again wrong.

    Hello:

    The Intel HD graphics card appears under the category of display cards in Device Manager or a Standard VGA adapter is displayed.

    Normally when the brightness of the screen is stuck on max and you cannot change it,'re missing you the driver from the chipset, the graphics driver, or both.

    Make sure that you have installed the Intel chipset installation and restart utility as well as the Intel HD graphics driver.

  • Windows 7 Explorer function search does not work / command prompt

    Hello

    I searched several messages, but unfortunately have not yet found a solution that worked. My problem: windows Explorer 7 does not at all. This means that type any word in the search box in the upper right corner makes no difference / nothing happens.

    I tried solving the problems, I tried to get into safe mode, nothing works. I re-indexed my computer, no effect.

    During playback I do a scan with SFC/scannow, I discovered that box "search programs and files" in the lower left corner does not work either. Everything I type, makes the window completely off and if I click on see the results I get the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not permissions to access you the item', even if I am the owner / administrator of my computer.

    Starting from the command-line using SFC/scannow gives the message "you must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc function. This is why I can't use the trick to create another user.

    The search function used to work properly until I had an infection by the virus. I've scanned my computer several times with different antivirus scanners, and nothing is found. I assume that the damage has been done at this time there and would like to know what I can do to fix it (I also have problems with other software, Word for example, works well, but guess that's all the.). I don't want to install a third party software to do research like I want my good computer work with the software that came installed when I bought it.

    Thanks in advance, Hubert

    I found the solution elsewhere (not microsoft site), which worked instantly:

    Navigate to this folder,
    c:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\1033\
    And delete the file StructuredQuerySchema.bin

    Therefore, the search worked well.
