• Cannot start Windows XP Home edition

  If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated!

  My brother has problems with his laptop - I don't know what model exactly, but it was only bought last November and has not been used that - it's not only recently even had installed on internet!
  It is only 14 - and I think that's how it was broken...

  He downloaded the new version of iTunes for its new iPod touch. It was good and work fine. Then, he saw a DVD on his laptop computer, from this point on that he has failed the next time he turned...

  The Windows startup screen is entered as usual, but nothing, just a black screen. He kept this over and over again. Then a screen comes say he met a problem or something. And these guests:

  Run in safe mode
  Run the prompt command (or something)
  Execution of the last known good configuration.
  There was something else, too.

  So, I tried to run from the last good config. We found a date that he remembered and tried to run from there. This new, just did nothing. A black screen is empty.
  Thus so we tried safe mode because there was a small guest saying something about editing a file, but we didn t know what devil do!
  (My apologies for the buzz...)

  So, basically, my brother took on himself to try and restore the system - without me! I'm afraid he did it wrong and now it's even worse!
  He did the unpacking, etc. Once that was done he apparently "did nothing" again. It lacks a screen saying 'ntdl' or something?
  He did restore 5 times more that could have been the wrong thing to do?

  But once again, nothing. Just a stupid screen saying the ntdl or anything that is missing. In the manual of the laptop, he said there may be some repairs done with the installation disc - but the phone didn t comes with an and the system doesn't restore disc to tell...

  I'm really sorry if this makes no sense. But could someone please try and help?
  Thank you

  Hello

  According to your message, you have done all that is possible to get the windows running.
  But it s very strange that you have received the laptop without the Toshiba Recovery CD. Wait a minute you have a Toshiba laptop?

  In any case my opinion is not much to do apart from a fresh install of the OS
  You should really try to do!

  > But once again, nothing. Just a ridiculous screen saying the ntdl or anything that is missing
  The error message ntdl is missing is known to me. I found some discussions on this error message.
  Some users have solved this problem it might be interesting for you to check these messages:

• Cannot install Windows xp home edition OEM on the new Macbook Pro

  Hardcopy of XP OEM Home Edition was initially installed in my office, but the PC broke down and I bought a Macbook Pro laptop. However, could not proceed further after necessary press as the rest blue window configuration screen always with no response. Called APPLE helpline and they said probably resulted from the OEM software.  I think I should be able to re-use the software again.  Probably because he's connected to the my desktop PC.  Therefore, it is possible to unlock the product key of my desk, so that I can download on my laptop.  Please advise as soon as possible.

  Non - OEM is only on the FIRST machine that installed a single use. You cannot transfer to another machine.

• Cannot get Windows XP Home Edition for a mapped network drive / share on a computer of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name." However, even with the box checked to re-connect to the opening of the service is WORTHLESS! I made a lot of attempts to use the Net use syntax to create a batch file to overcome this non-functional raw application. I would really appreciate someone who actually had this issue resolved and work. I have looked at all the Windows files on the XP machine, searched the registry about a possible switch, which could make the necessary changes and have made all necessary changes on the Windows 7 system to accept the mapped network share. Help!

  Hello

  Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

  If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

  Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

  ---------------

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

  Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

• Start windows XP Home Edition with a RunDLL error

  When I boot windows XP Home, after the Welcome screen and the office fills with icons, I have a RunDLL error box that says the right: error loading c:\windows\dlioneg.dll the specified module could not be found. I ran RegistryBooster2010 but it did not help.  Any idea.  The computer is a small netbook from ASUS.

  This file was probably part of a virus or spyware infection that has been partially removed. Run a full scan for virus/spyware.  If the problem persists, use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove the reference to the file.

• No sound on Tecra S5, "THotkey" error starting Windows XP Home edition

  I have a laptop Tecra S5, I deleted some old programs for card readers.
  Now, sound does not work and starting the PC, windows starts and I get the message: "Error THotkey" this audio diviece is not supported.

  Is it just the audio driver what is missing and how can I reinstall it?

  Who knows, what did you do with stuff pre-installed. THotkey has nothing to do with the old programs for card readers, but it is very important tool of Toshiba.

  Did do us all first to know what is the status of the sound card in Device Manager. Sound card installed and registered correctly?

• Cannot install Windows XP Home edition on the new HDD in Tecra S3

  Hey,.

  I bought a second hand without HARD drive laptop, so I bought a new Samsung's HARD drive with 120 GB yesterday. I have it rolls in my Tecra laptop and it started. But for some reason, there are problems.

  Already, I have downloaded the driver for the RAID and I took it on a diskette. I also have an external floppy drive, but when it finished installing the driver and Windows Setup should start the computer always says he could not install on this partition because he doesn't? t can be accessed.

  I formatted the HARD drive a few times but nothing helped... I don't have a system recovery disk and I tried already with integrating the driver configuration via nLite.
  But now there is something new. Whenever the installation should start there is a blue screen that tells me I have to reboot the PC and check the virus or take out the HARD drive.

  The biggest problem is the laptop is the Dutch...

• Cannot load Windows XP Home Edition on portege 7140

  In the configuration of the BIOS for my toshiba portege 7140, I can't change the settings for the DVD-ROM/Docking station. I have a new hard drive I can't install windows xp on, because the cd/dvd player will not play (it starts to spin then stops). Even with my old hard drive with xp on it, I couldn't drive to game/recognize any CD.

  I had bought a new larger hard drive (40 GB, as opposed to the old 6 GB one) but impossible to install windows on it because I can not install from the CD. Even if I already downloaded of the Setup files from disk, I need to finish the process of the XP install disk, but I can't.

  I'm unable to find or change the bios settings to solve this problem.

  Hi Mitchell,

  I don't know what parameters in the BIOS you want to change for your optical drive. How are you optical drive connected to your laptop, it is USB or built in?

  It would be better to get your drive working properly with your existing 6 GB HARD drive before trying to re - install XP on your new HARD drive.

• Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

  I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

  Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

  Thanks for the help!

  Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

  As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

  You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

  After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

  C:\WINDOWS

  For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

  Chkdsk /r

  For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

• Satellite U400-10 has: Downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I got my laptop U400-10 for XP. Few things left pending:

  1. How can I get the LED on the top of the screen (and Satellite/power LED) to decrease intensity again by pressing the LED light on the top of the screen? Worked under vista. Cannot run Windows XP Home edition. Probably a Toshiba driver... but the Witch one?

  2. I get a Device Manager question mark in front of audio storage devices and mass HD. I checked the internet and it seems related to the HDMI port. But how to fix it? I can't identify the right Toshiba drivers on the page/download driver Toshiba.

  3. How can I get Bluetooth (with the standard windows drivers)? Bluetooth Monitor driver Toshiba form doesn't seem to work.

  Thanks for the replies.

  Concerning

  Hello

  (1.) I think you could turn on and off the LED of Illumination in the BIOS.
  But maybe it s not supported under Win XP.

  (2) some features are not supported by XP. This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory. This material will be supported only by Windows Vista so there is no driver Windows XP.

  (3) possibly you have ONLY installed the BT monitor. It is a diagnostic utility, and if you want to use BT you need a driver of BT.
  The BT driver can be downloaded from the page of the portal of BT or driver Toshiba

• Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3

  Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.

  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Maver1ck63,

  Thank you for your message.  You have the jumpers physics master/slave accordingly?  Otherwise, the value OS hard drive (Maxtor) to the master and your Hitachi to the slave.  After a reboot, your system recognizes this drive in 'my computer '?  If so, can you right click and format the drive?  (Keep in mind, the formatting will erase all data on the disk, you will need to back up any important information before formatting).  If you cannot access or recognize this drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  Do you think your player, you can get in shape from here (or assign a drive letter if it is not recognized in my computer)?
  Please let us know the result.

• Cannot install game or applications in Windows 7 Home Edition computer.

  Original title: Windows Installer problems - Windows 7 Home Edition.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I tried to install a game last night and at the start of the installer it disappears from the screen and I find myself with an icon in my taskbar tasks that wont open. Sometimes, if I'm lucky and let him go, he will open full screen and allow me to continue with the installation. I thought maybe it was just the game that I was installing. So I tried to install something else non-related and it appears the installer, but the bar never moves. I try to shut it down and he even used close. It will cancel, but even after I cancel, Setup is still used in the process. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution to this problem.

  I tried unsubscribing msiexec and re-enrollment it and no luck
