• My Windows 10 computer crashed, and all applications have been lost.  I'm about to re - install LR6 (standalone, no CC).  I think that both facilities are allowed.  Can I get the meter re - assign once my reinstalling?  Thank you.  Jim

  Hello, my Windows 10 computer crashed, and I had to start again, allow a reinstallation of the operating system complete with all my apps being deleted from the machine.  One of these applications was LR6 (independent, no CC).  In my view, LR6 allows two installations of the software by license, so I am writing to ask that the 'meter' installation reset 'one' when I'm done with this installation.    I would never need the re-install second, but given the instability of the operating system, it may be necessary... Thank you.

• After that windows update computer now hangs at the login screen, no error message, just restarts.

  I have tried safe mode, does the same thing; tried to use the Windows Vista disc to do a repair, no luck; also I tried restoring the system (from disk), no restore points however.
  The problem appeared after restarting the computer during the night.  The problem began to be able to connect, but the screen would go blank with just a pointer (KSOD).  Has tried some of the suggestions on this problem, including by eliminating sys newspapers, which did not work as well as reinstalling the video driver, with no luck.  Finally tried a system restore, returned 1 week (before the windows updates).  Now, the computer becomes just the login screen sits there for about 5-10 seconds then restarts immediately.

  I just had this happen to my laptop that has no external references. This is a new (September 09) ASUS K50ij with Vista 64-bit installed. I bought the Win 7 OS to replace, but have been waiting for the time to play with it... Last Monday, the update itself and invited to restart so I have done what I was busy with and enabled him to restart which is the only thing to do now... restart, the blue screen for a nano-second, then restart... etc. Same problem with safe mode and safe mode with networking, or with the box... anyway, someone very smart recommended that I use another computer (Fortunately, I have several) to download free Imgburn (which works easily), then get Ubuntu (Linux Operating System free download) burn image from the Ubuntu disc, put the disc in the drive of the computer crashed (there is a little hole next to the button you) can insert in a safety pin to release the door when the power is off) change the setting in the BIOS of the computer has crashed by restarting and pressing F2 until you get the menu BIOS... go to the start menu and choose Start from the CD, and then press ENTER. When the computer starts, it will see the drive and go to a menu to select the language, then next choice is "try Ubuntu without making any changes to the computer. It will boot the disk and allow you to view and copy ALL your files off the power on an external drive, which is what I did... including my Outlook .pst files that include all my saved emails my calendar and contacts, etc! WOOHOO! has got all my photos, documents, etc. The only thing that I didn't know how to get is my favorite... How to enter in the browser from another computer.

  If after this, an hour or more than make sure I got all the important data... I decided to see if anyone had a solution to this problem just fixing... I probably won't update again because Microsoft sends them and offers no solutions to the problems they have caused and nobody pays me for all the time I've lost get to get my stuff back and also to solve the problem they have caused. A update on my other laptop Win 7 zapped my outlook program and even reinstall it didn't solve this problem, even more work to do there, but looking in the files using Ubuntu's File Explorer, I found a hidden file that is used to repair the files .pst outlook called scanpst, or something that nearby.

  In any case, if someone has a solution to uninstall the recent update or to determine how it corrupted my user profile (which is the general consensus) please let me know.
  Thank you and good luck to you!

  can someone please help me fix/clean my computer? I don't understand what mean these things or why my computer crashes because of this. also when my computer goes down it will take me to a blue screen crash then it will say something about the memory management caused the crash. Will someone help me by giving me detailed instructions to step by step on how clean/fix this problem?

  Blue screens are caused by defective material or defective hardware drivers.

  To see if a fix is available

  In Control Panel (and select Classic discovered in the left pane) select reports on the problems and Solutions (problem of type in the START search box), go to historical problem, right-click of your error and choose check for the Solution. You can also right-click and choose Details for more information. Post the details here.

  To see if any recent system change caused it

  In Control Panel (and select Classic discovered in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then choose reliability and performance monitor and choose the monitoring tools then the reliability monitor (type reliability in research on Start). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, updated Windows and crashes by date (scroll left to see earlier dates). See if your plant has started to happen after you installed or uninstalled something.

   

  Standard hardware troubleshooting

   

   

  First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...

   

  Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

   
  Diagnosis of memory

  If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.

   

  S.M.A.R.T
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
   
  WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List

   

  If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.

   

  Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.

   

  In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
   
  Run chkdsk

  In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.
   
  SFC
  Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  sfc/scannow
   
  For memory diagnostic results
  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.

   

  Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

   
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

  For results of Chkdsk

  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.

   

  Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
  Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
  Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS

  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
  
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
   
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
   
  PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
   
  For the results of the SFC
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   

  findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "

   

  It will be able to see which files are corrupted. We may be able to copy it from another computer.

   

   

  Dump files

   

  Dump files are files containing the status of the machine when it crashed. We can analyze the file to identify the driver (or program) causing the accident.

   

  Analyze dump files

  If you want to analyze your own dump files. See below to download for analysis.

   

  You need start exploring as an administrator to access the files in C:\windows\Minidump. Explore a right click and choose run as administrator.

  
  Download and install the debugging tools for Windows

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/hh852363

  Install Windows SDK, but simply choose the debugging tools.

  Create a folder called symbols in C:\

  Start Windbg. Menu file - path to the symbol file and enter

  
  SRV * C:\symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

   

  Close, and then reopen WinDbg. Menu file - Open Crash Dump

  It will analyze the crashdump. You must close and reopen WinDbg for each analyzed dump file. Because you download symbols from the internet WinDbg seems to be to do nothing. But it's the download. Be patient.

   

  Looking for a driver or a library system that the incident occurred at the end of the list. Find the file, do a right click then Properties - Details tab. If it shows a driver, you will need to update the driver identified. Most of the pilots are in c:\windows\system32\drivers. If it has a file system see if you can get a program to analyze - v.

  Type in the theWinDbg command prompt

   
  ! analyze - v

   

  -v means Verbose and if the accident was created by a program, as opposed to hardware or a driver, it will appear in the middle of the list.

   

  Download them for analysis

   

  Or download files minidump to your Public SkyDrive folder and copy the link in the address bar, and I'm going to do an analysis.

   

  SkyDrive is the download file from Microsoft, Windows Live, at https://skydrive.live.com/site.  Read about it at http://explore.live.com/skydrive.

  If you downloaded one of the Live applications or a web site based Live mail account, you already have access to your Skydrive.

  Put your list of events in the Public folder and copy the link in the address bar.

  Update for Windows Vista (KB2345886)

  I found KB981957 to be the culprit on that I worked on a system of XP SP3.  With this update installed, I get an error C000021A Service Control Manager BSOD.  I have manually uninstalled this update by using the Recovery Console and then used Windows Update through IE and deselected this update.  All the other updates installed correctly and the system starts properly.  I would like to know why this update is causing this problem.  Anyone with the same problem?

  It reminds me of a similar situation earlier this year with BSOD KB991765.  The cause of the BSOD is a virus that has infected system driver files.  Once clean, the installation worked very well.  I've done many scans on this system and have not yet found any viruses.

• The problems causing Windows Update

  I woke up this morning and my computer did an update all night and it turned off and restarted.  It was missing some things and I do not have access to some videos and such that I saved it.

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

• WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER - WINDOWS 7 - COMPUTER CRASHES

  Whenever I turn on windows media center to watch live TV, after about 10 minutes of watching TV, my computer crashes / turns off.  I have to hold in the power button for a while turns back on after that is the case of the computer. I get no error message, it's just completely off / hangs the computer.

  Dell Inspiron Intel Core duo

  Windows 7 Home premium

   

  I got so sick of this, I spent the last few hours trying all sorts of things.

  This seems to have solved that problem.

  First of all, I went to my monitor of resources because of the above message on the video memory. I have never in line or running anything while I watched the live TV on windows media center. As I thought, everything was fine. I had a lot of resources free etc, but while watching I noticed my McAfee security software and decided to disable real-time scanning and firewall. (I never try to watch live TV on windows media center all in line.) I always turn off my network card when I'm not online anyway so felt ok with turning the firewall and scanning off.)

  And guess what! for the first time since I use Windows Media Center, it has not crashed my computer. So, it looks like Microsoft and McAfee need to understand this. I tested it several times and each time McAfee is on and working when turned off, it blocks. It will be a headache to have to remember to turn it on when I go online and off when I want to watch the tv media Center in windows.

  I suggest to have the people to do this step first before making do them all the steps you gave me above.  We hope to see some sort of update of Microsoft and McAfee for this question.

• Black screen on startup after windows update 7 crashed

  Hello

  Hope you can help.

  I have windows 7 64 bit installed and everything was fine until last night.

  It seems a windows update has been downloaded and when I turned my PC it was installing the update - the projection of the usual blue installation screen updates etc.

  It took a long time and it seems to me he had crashed, has frozen I couldn't move the mouse.

  Yes I know it says that you should not turn the PC while the update was the installation, but for me, it seemed like it had crashed and frozen upward.

  So I decided turn off the pc and he left the next day to check the pc.

  I turn on the pc and select windows 7 in my list - I have Setup dual boot

  I get the message that windows did not start properly, so I select boot normally - I get the swirly logo appear and then just a black screen with the cursor that responds to moving the mouse.

  There's just the black screen with the cursor and pass to the next step of the login screen.

  I think because of the windows don't update not install correctly and turning the pc off this contributed to hang on the black screen.

  I tried to start in safe mode to see if the same problem which he passes, I can connect via the SafeMode very well and have the available login screen and entered fine windows via safe mode.

  I get ideas as to what I can do to solve this black screen?

  To confirm once again, this has happened after a windows update tries to install, but as I felt it had crashed I turned off the pc - no drivers graphics etc. have been installed for a long time - only this update of windows

  I hope you can help, thank you very much

  InnI

  EDIT: Just to add that I tried to do a restore point, but as I turned it off I don't have the option to do so.

  Hi Martin,

  Thanks for the reply.

  I tried something last night after going through loads of forums.

  I tried F8 for advanced startup options, and I'll give you good last thinking setting up a go, known guess what, it worked!

  I was able to return in Office windows as usual, I even installed the update that it crashed on the last time, well, I think that he reinstalled the last update, it crashed on... anyway, I think I'm back to normal, but will check it out tonight but if you are still having problem try what I did It can work for you.

  These produce somewhat less often with about 47 errors an hour but these always down the computer to a fixed support and in some cases require a hard reboot.

  Usually happens when I play a game like COD:MW2 but don't happen in games such as Mass Effect 2. It also happens if I play Runescape or if I look to multitask (have a game and a web browser open).

• After February 10, Windows Update computer problems

  My Acer Aspire X 1200 has been paralyzed after an update on 10 February.

  After the update has been installed, my computer has freezes which lasted from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and sometimes I got that last 5 seconds that's happened every minute frozen. The sound is also taken in the loop. I had to make stops hard just to get my computer to cut. When my computer is started after the closure, it's super slow to start my applications (MSN, Xfire, PandoraOne and box). After that, the computer will not start Firefox or Internet Explorer. If a program starts, it is almost impossible to run due to the freeze. I already have 2 system restore to before the update, and my computer works very well. I also used AVG and cyber to scan my computer for viruses, they both came up empty, but Cyber has demonstrated a lot of registry errors. The only way I can even run my computer is through safe mode. Help, please!

  It's terrible to hear, Daruma: I'm sorry to see that you are in such a pass.  I am not particularly satisfied with the aggressive way, Microsoft pushed the security updates lately.  I understand the need for them, but in Windows 7, I'm more than a little annoyed how this February as a whole has been treated.  What can be so potentially crippling must be more carefully tested, and we certainly shouldn't we have our machines impose us a reboot.  I had more than one backup at night or rip or other lengthy process completely the bomb at the last minute because my machine decided it was time to restart the machine and am tired of wait on me to answer the pop-ups of nag.

  I have some information that can help you, but it is not enough.  At this point, you want to find the smartest geek you know and bribe him with pizza and Red Bull to repair your machines.  Show them this thread too...

  (1) you are right, that if you run a 64-bit OS and try to use a 32-bit installation disk to perform a recovery, you will encounter problems.  Under XP, it's even worse: the disks that are different flavors of Windows XP (such as "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1" and "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2") are also out of sync relative to each other, making the recovery of the wrong version sometimes impossible.  HOWEVER...

  (2) with Vista and 7, Microsoft has homogenized their drives: a drive for 7 Pro can also be used to recover/repair an installation of 7 Home or Ultimate.  I don't know if it's perfect, however: you may still be unable to use a 32 bit disc to get a 64-bit machine and vice versa (which I think is what you're saying).  THEN

  (3) you may have a hidden partition on your hard drive that contains your OS and original software.  It would be visible at startup time and therefore could be extracted and transformed into a bootable OS or momentum from a pre-loaded recovery utility.  Gateway and Toshiba have done this before.  AND

  (4) you may also be able to * buy * these discs Gateway system or Toshiba.  I had to do exactly this for gateway my aunt last year, paying about $30 for a system recovery disk.  My Toshiba comes with a utility that is supposed to create your discs for you by burning them to blank media, but it was absolute garbage, ripping coasters of almost a dozen and never get the last disk made.  I got a real BS answer on why the burning utility did not work... but I was told that I could buy the discs if I wanted to.   BUT

  (5) in the worst-case scenario, all is still not lost.  If for any reason, the hard drive is watered, your hired geek can put another HDD, install an OS on it, and then focus on your current hard drive and pull all the files out of what you want to use.  Or they can simply pull on your hard drive, put it in a working machine, back up everything that was on it, then put the HD in your machine and do a full format/reinstall.  From there on, you manually load all your files back on the new facility.  It's a pain, but it will almost get you back to where you were.

  Even if you have formatted your hard drive, some files can be recovered.  I used a utility called "Restorer2K" a couple of times and it was excellent traction deleted files do market back a formatted hard drive.  Just try to do it before the installation of a new facility on top of the empty car.  ALSO

  (6) there is a little more work, but not hard work... your geek-for-hire can also take a drive in Windows, download the software and drivers for your machine and 'mind meld' together to do a custom installation disc.  It is a GREAT free tool called "nLite" (for XP) or "vLite" (for Vista and I think that 7) who will do it.

  In the future, I know that this may seem like a pain, but you might want to grab a free backup utility called Macrium Reflect.  It can be programmed to perform backups of your machine on a regular basis and even store them somewhere else.  For example, you could tell the gateway to the top Thursday night in a big fat USB, plug the USB key Thursday night and leave the front door during the night.  Then say the Toshiba to save on Friday night on the USB, Plug and let the Toshiba on it during the night... you get the idea.  This way if this happens again, at least you have a way to back up things and never lose more of, say, evidence of a week of things.

• Windows XP, computer crash, said to contact technical support, "load needed DLLs for kernel."

  What should I do now that my computer does not start? I tried F8, F10 and reboot... message came on the black screen "please contact the technical support and say" load needed DLLs for kernel. " "I do not have the Windows XP OEM or recover the disk.".

  You will probably need ot to obtain from the manufacturer of the computer for the installation diskettes (which would be less expensive to get a new XP license) and the repair of the operating system or do a new install. Keep in mind that this could have been caused by your failure to drive hard and not because of software corruption.

• PE9 burn failure at 95% causes the whole computer crash

  Hi - I hope someone can help.

  I'm puttig clips set of mobile phones and various other devices in the first year of the life of babies, it includes audio tracks on the line of the soundtrack as well as the audio and video on track 1. I have also included a pan & zoom slide show of images and the total length is approximately 1hr20mins.

  I don't know what the problem is, but after that the disc menus (there are 4) were all coded, the program gets to 95% and then hangs, but is not just down to the program, in fact, it blocks my whole system by which I can't use my mouse or keyboard to close anything.

  Last week the system worked perfectly and I tried to save the entire movie as an mpeg on my computer that worked perfectly, but there is something preventing the burning at the end.

  I use a Dell XPS 17 with processor intel core i5, drives (C and D) with 1 TB of total RAM. I use a Nvidia graphics card and have RealTek HD audio. (not sure if you need this or if there are good things to tell you!)

  Help, please!

  You probably have a number of questions which are an overload of the program. It is also possible that you don't have enough clean, freshly defragmented space on your drives C and D. Even if these drives are huge, fragmentation to prevent the Premiere Elements entering the contiguous space he needs. You work a) an exceptionally huge for a DVD video (DVD can contain about 70 minutes of video), b) you may be using unnecessary large photos (see below) that can stifle the program and c) you say not where your video is coming, but Premiere Elements must work much harder on the video that is not miniDV, HDV or AVCHD - these are all combining in a collapse of the program.

  First of all, when you set up your Premiere Elements project, including project settings have you selected? You have made this setting corresponds precisely to your video footage? If so, you should see no red line above the clips in your timeline before add them effects. This is the case in your project?

  Second, have you ensured that your photos are not larger than 1000 x 750 pixels of size? Photos directly from a device using photo (some of which can be several times video resolution) are the main cause of starter program.

  You have made your timeline (press enter) whenever you see red lines above your clips on the timeline? If your timeline is rendered (at the Tower of red green lines) your program will perform more effectively and you will have less problems with transcoding your DVD. But even this does not however resolve the questions listed above.

• Computer crashed during a windows XP update

  I was trying to trouble shoot a problem with a computer that would crash intermittently from time to time.  Put 3 downloaded system update for installation.  I put out of service and some updates to try to make sure I had the latest files.  When installing on 3/3, the system crashed again!  I knew it wasn't good.  I was not able to restart the system.  When I boot it comes up with the windows logo and progress bar, then it stops with a blue screen and the following message.

  Stop: c000021a {fatal system error} the System Manager system initialization process ended unexpectedly with the State 0xc000026c (0x00000000 0x00000000).  The system has been shut down.

  Is there anyway I can recover from this situation.

  I tried to boot from the start with F8 menu.  I chose restore to the last known good state, but not luck.  Are there any other suggestions out there.  XP was preinstalled on the Dell computer.  I is not a MS installation disc, but have the Dell restore disc.  I resisted using it because I think he goes back to the initial state of the computer and I will rebuild the system from scratch.  Inplace installation is a good solution or it just will make worse?  Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. -Nat

  ========================
  Additional information:
  I wanted to just make sure that people know that I don't mean to solve the reason for which the computer crashed.  I just try to understand if there is a way to recover a Windows update that crashes, power losses, or breaks down before installation, updates is complete.  Thank you.
