• Can someone tell me what I should type in the screen command prompt to access the setupapi log so I can delete the files that stops me reinstall windows xp?

  My dell PC crashed then I followed the news online & tried to reinstall windows XP from my original CD. However, the keyboard & mouse stop working when the installation gets to the 33 minute section which requires me to a box on the screen. I saw tips online who says lets you check the setupapi log & delete the file question (s) that prevents the installation but it required that use you SHIFT & F10 to enter the command prompt screen, but my keyboard is isolated at this time. So I went in the recovery console (I think it's the command prompt)?  but I don't know which of the listed commands to use to perform the advice. I would be very grateful for help.

  Thank you

  Repair installs being problematic, I would not waste any more time at this stage. You are ready to perform a clean installation?

• Infinite command prompts

  I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professinal installation on a standard Terminal 2008 for a client server. The idea being that all users can use all the features of the suite.

  One of my technicians was not aware of this and was able to install Adobe Reader beside him, which caused all sorts of problems. We removed the two versions of the software and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat from zero (reboot inbetween). Now, at random, when open a PDF there are command prompts that appear. Windows opens too fast for us to read what he's trying to do, but they also open up faster that they close. Users need to quickly disconnect their system to prevent Terminal Server to lock up (once a few minutes Adobe uses 100% of CPU).

  The big problem in troubleshooting, it's that we already did a clean reinstall of Adobe. The problem is intermittent, and we don't have any events in the eventviewer who would give away why this is happening.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Acrobat 8 has been end-of-life, and he never was supported on WTS 2008, so your using an obsolete configuration which has never tested.

• -command prompt? (administrator or black screen often flashes - how do I stop this?) Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

  Nice day

  I recently updated a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Long story why, but it works better since.

  There is one thing that past seems weird.   CMD (I think that's it), or this black screen command prompt appears on the screen every now and then.  I can't tell what is the boss, or that it triggers.  But it is quite often.

  What this has to do with being administrator or the administrator account on my own laptop. Nobody else uses it. This is my personal laptop.   I log into my admin account when using the laptop and do not use the other account username or guest account.  This is info I added here for your info.

  The blinking indicates something wrong?  Or how I disable that or stop its frequency?

  Thank you very much!!

  And how can I stop the task?

  I will also say that the screen flashes about 8 times in one hour.

  Before you can stop the task, you must identify it. You can do the following:

  1. Launch the Task Scheduler with the taskschd.msccommand.
  2. Click the task Scheduler Library.
  3. Consider different trigger points.

  

• How can I run CHKDSK /F on a blue screen on Windows XP? I can not at all to a command prompt.

  I accidentally shut down my computer for an update.  Now I can only get a blue screen with a message saying that a problem has been detected and I need to disable or uninstall any anti-virus, backup utilities or disk defragmentation.  He told me to check my hard drive configuration and to search for updated drivers.  Then it is said to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  The technical information is: 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190203, 0x8638c6c8, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000).  I can't run Windows in safe mode, I can't seem to run in its final configuration, nor can I get it to go to a command prompt - it just goes back to the blue screen.  I also tried to put in my XP disc that came with the computer, and it helps not at all either.

  Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers forum still does not prompt for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  I think I'm about to lose hope on this fantastic.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  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 begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

  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.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is 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.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

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

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• How to stop the command Taskkill.exe that appears at startup

  How can I stop "Taskkill.exe" notice appearing at startup?

  Hi caerurfaernest,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What is the exact error message that you receive at startup?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  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 section to learn more about how to clean boot.

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

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  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.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

This has never happened before and the security scanner, Vipre antivirus, Viprerescue did not find any Virus on my PC. When a command prompt opens it means that something does not work without my knowledge

  Any help please?

  Thank you

  Hi ettore1,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem does not still in safe mode, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

• Start-up/login problem. Vista starts by the boot sequence then cursor and black screen appears but nothing else.

  My laptop recently locked up when running a DVD rip, I waited an hour or so to see if he would respond, but he didn't, so I turned off the laptop by holding the power button down. I restarted the computer and it loaded correctly to the logon screen and allowed me to log in as usual. Once the computer was connected, I noticed that the sidebar was not loading, and when I click on what whether the locked computer.

  To try to remedy this I tried to start the PC in safe mode to perform a restore could noticed that I had not created restore points. I then tried to fill a start last known good config upward, it did not work. Then, I tried a CHKDSK/r procedure at startup. It worked fine until step 3 of 5, on which he seems to hang, I left it overnight and it was still on the same stage. So I have powerd off the PC and tried to start. But now, the PC is delivered to the black screen and the cursor as shown above.

  I created the new folder of the event log of the prompt on the Vista recovery disc option

  I did a repair to start - no problems found

  I checked that regedit in this \Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. shell contains only explore

  When you are looking for through other Forums a cause of this problem appears to be to do with the permissions of the user being changed by the chkdsk does not complete, however I don't see how to fix this through the command prompt.

  As noted, I can access command prompt on the recovery disk. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  You already did a great job of troubleshooting - exactly what I would have recommended here if you had not already tried.  Play well!  Here is one that you did not and I would start one you tried (because I feel that it is perhaps the root of the problem.

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt, right click command prompt and click Run as administrator (you can skip this step if you are using the disk).

  If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to run at the next reboot (but I don't think that will happen if launched from the disk).   If so, answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.  I know you tried this before, but we'll try again by using a slightly different command and see if it works this time.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, then we should try to reinstall the system (backup first) as only option short taking in a computer repair shop. But we'll see what happens with the first above.

  Good luck!

• command prompt and high cpu utilization problems

  I have an Acer Aspire laptop. Windows 7-64 bit. My CPU usage has been quite erratic for months. She sometimes becomes up to 4 or 5%, but most of the time, he is running between 50 and 100% (I have a counter on my desk). I've been running all kinds of tools and cleaning methods. I had McAfee antivirus for a prior year of minimal, but renewed problems a few months ago and found strange and annoying that he wouldn't be updated every day while I was working. I assumed something was wrong with her, so I replaced it with a program that I got for free with another purchase from Best Buy... Trend Micro, I think it was called. Well, it appeared that Trend Micro used more process and CPU than McAfee. At that time, I thought it would be safer and cleaner for Microsoft Security Essentials TM trade. I also have CCleaner installed and I run it every other day or two. I also run r-kill and tdsskiller a few times but never found something dangerous. I removed everything that I felt uncomfortable unused programs were safe to remove. The last thing that I see and which seems odd to me is that, at startup, a "command prompt" icon will appear briefly in my taskbar and then quickly go to 'start' 'recent '... I have never seen this before so it seems weird, like a clue any. Also in the last few days, usually online, but also with Solitair Windows offline. Either the cursor will freeze or the screen freezes making useless cursor, even for a moment, and sometimes I'll just "end task." I'm not a gamer, I mainly watch movies and videos... Try, anyway! Thanks in advance for the help!

  Bug Check 0x1: LeAPC_INDEX_MISMATCHErreur

  LeAPC_INDEX_MISMATCHErreur bug control has a value of 0x00000001. This indicates that there is an inconsistency in the index of State APC.

  Important information if you have received a STOP Code

  If you have received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer stopped abruptly to protect against data loss. A hardware device, its driver or software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows is shipped with your computer, contact your computer manufacturer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact information for Microsoft or the manufacturer of your computer, Contact Support.

  If you have experience with computers and try to recover from this error, follow the steps in the Microsoft article solution STOP (blue screen) errors in Windows.

  The following actions could prevent a mistake like this does not happen:

  1. Download and install updates for your computer from Windows Update device drivers.
  2. Scan your computer for computer viruses.
  3. Check your hard drive for errors.

  4	Type (system call 0-, 1 - routine worker) of the call.

  Cause

  The most common cause of this bug check is when a system file or driver has a sequence are mismatched calls to deactivate and reactivate the APCs. The data key item is theThread-> CombinedApcDisable field. The CombinedApcDisable field is composed of two separate 16-bit fields: SpecialApcDisable and KernelApcDisable.

• Recovery, the system failure - using the Command Prompt

  Windows vista OS and windows does not load. Automatic recovery system active at startup upward. No solution known thanks to this tool, and when I try to use one of the system recovery tools, none of them don't function. I went in F2 start and checked to see if he recongnized HD for this.  I don't have a windows vista startup disk system has been preloaded on acer laptop. can't even go back to a previous restore point. I checked the memory and it is 100% good. I have firewall and norton 2011 full security virus, so I think not only computer has been infected.

  I started in 'safe' mode and tried to use the restore point - no luck. tried to go in windows in safe mode - no luck.

  How do you use 'command prompt' computer startup tool and get in windows vista? What can I do using command prompt to check on this failure?  Thanks, ej.

  Hello

  Try these troubleshooting blue screen techniques.

  Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.
  http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Vista/vista_event_viewer.htm

  MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.
  TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a period of time instead of the entire file.

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
  info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
  information on errors such as STOP and information such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL codes or
  PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

  It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information
