• When I try and play a video or a dvd from my computer crashes.

  OT: Media Player-related problems.

  When I try and play a video or dvd my computer crashes and I have to close, a blue box appears in the upper right corner, saying: I have new applications that can open this type of file, but not how to use them or what they are called or where to find them.

  I down loaded VLC media player but it also refuses to play video clips and DVD and locks the computer as well.

  I don't know much about computers just how to use it for what I need, any help will be appreciated.

  Because it was not mentioned, which was the source Image formats with what you are / have been working?
       http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker-file-types-FAQ

  If VLC can't play the file, it can be owner or damaged. In addition, VLC should have no problem with a standard DVD playback.

  You can always try to convert it.

  Freemake Video Converter is one of the most recommended video converters to help users to convert their SOURCE of videos in WMV. Freemake Video Converter is extremely easy to use, but there are a few ' opt-out ' the software provided with the installer that makes the user nervous. I created a post to illustrate the process of downloading the application, installation step by step, explaining what options are optional. I have also provided some screenshots on just how it is easy to convert your videos into WMV.

• computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night

  Hi, Kevin

  My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.

  I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?

  Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?

  Thank you!

  Call or contact the manufacturer of the system since you are using an OEM version.

• the computer crashes when video Skype calling

  OK, so during a video call, the other night, my laptop Averatec running Windows XP home overheated and shut down, I restarted, since then when I go to the video conference on Skype, my computer crashes, restarts and gives me several different answers, for example a blue error screen, malware, software spies ect in conflict.

  Since this place has started, I took the following steps and not to find another solution.

  • check disk
  • updated Sytem
  • Update driver
  • Update directX
  • Uninstall / reinstall Skype
  • installation of mcafee
  • Disk Cleanup
  • removal of unwanted emissions

  I can't understand what other solution to use

  Other that the timelysupportof the right answer, you could do things * methodically * and in the following order:

  1. Uninstall Skype.
  2. Update your web maison.* of manufacturers motherboard chipset driver
  3. Update your audio device driver, since manufacturers web maison.*
  4. Update your video device since the manufacturers driver web maison.*
  5. Update your network from the Web pages of manufacturer (s) device driver. *
  6. Reboot and install CCleaner.  Run and cleaning of loose files it finds.
  7. Download and install MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware (FREE for BOTH) and run scans of complete system with each of them (one at a time) and remove all found each of them.
  8. Open the registry and find the Skype entries and remove them.  Everything you find.  HKLM and HKCU areas in particular.
  9. Reboot again.
  10. Run a CHKDSK on all readers
  11. Perform a defrag on all readers
  12. Reboot again.
  13. Visit http://winodwsupdate.microsoft.com/ and install all the updates that are not optional (optional and hardware software optional can be ignored) and who do not update anything you don't want to update (such as Internet Explorer, etc.)
  14. Restart and repeat 13-14 until you have updated not more not optional, you need to install.  Reboot once more for good measure.
  15. Download the latest version of Skype and install it. Reboot before running it.

  * If possible, go the real manufacturer - not the whole machine - but the device.  For example, if you have an Intel chipset based motherboard, download the drivers for it to Intel.  If you have a video device nVidia, download the drivers for it from nVidia.  If you have a Broadcom network device, download the drivers for it from Broadcom.  If you have a RealTek audio device, download the drivers for it from RealTek.  And so on...

  If, after doing all this in this order, it still does not - it is probably a hardware problem or a Skype number.  However, you might try ONE last thing.  SFC/scannow.  You will need your Windows XP CD-ROM.

  After that - you are really left with material/Skype or something messed up so you might resign yourself to try a full installation of fresh erase (although I wouldn't do if I couldn't have my disk image and send it to where it was before I tried.)

• Pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. It started when the power failed and my computer crashed.

  My pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. This all started when the power failed and my computer crashed.
  I get the message that he was away, I went to the performance and settings and tried to change custom settings & re-start.

  No matter what I do, nothing works. I lost several hours of visiting sites for tips and nothing seems to help.

  I was told when re-boots WinXP it creates the new file pagefile.sys and I should delete the pagefile.sys file may be corrupted on the C drive.

  So I put the folders to show hidden files and delete pagefile.sys. I have re-set and tried to recover with no success.

  There is now absolutely no pagefile.sys on my C drive. Anyone know how I can get back my pagefile.sys?

  I want to get my virtual memory works again?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.

  Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?

  Here are some instructions:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/RCONSOLE.htm

  Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:

  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 might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  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/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  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.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  While you wait, please do the following to help reduce the possibility of malware:

• When I try and play games my computer crashes or I get BSOD with the error Stop: 0x000000F4.

  Hello, I recently built a computer and installed all the software, drivers and updates of windows that I needed. Go and try to play games, I can play for a little bit. Then my computer crashes or I get BSOD with the error Stop: 0x000000F4. Generally before that happens, Skype will plant give me a message that says "error disk i/o" If that helps. How can I fix this problem so that this error does not happen again? It happened several times. I tried to reinstall the CMOS battery on the motherboard. I have the latest firmware of my SSD and drivers for my card mother and graphics card. My specs are:

  Windows 7 x 64
  I7 - 4770 k
  ASUS Z87 - a
  Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600 Mhz
  Modular power supply Corsair HX750
  Liquid chillers H80i Corsair
  EVGA GTX Superclocked 760 ACX
  Samsung 840 120 GB SSD (boot disk; the games installed on it)

  Hello

  To help you, we will need files DMP to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

  If you don't know where the DMP files, here's how to get to them:
  1. go to the Windows\Minidump folder.
  2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.
  3 download the zip containing the files DMP to Skydrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste in your answer.

  If you plan to use Skydrive, but do not know how to download it, please see the following:
  http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

  Please note that all "cleaner" such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove files DMP when using because of their place too.

  If your computer doesn't generate DMP files, follow these steps:

  1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

  2. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

  3. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > failure > ensure there is a check mark next to "Write an event to the system log" > make sure that "automatically reboot" is unchecked.

  Ensure that the partial memory image is turned on and make sure the path is % SystemRoot%\Minidump.

  4. check that the viewers is ENABLED:

  Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

  If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

  Kind regards

  My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.

  You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.

  I did it!  I did everything by myself, with a little help of Julianne Kost!  Thank you, Julianne.  You're really a wonder woman.  No thank you 57 people who read this post on the forum.  But if one person reads this and it saves some time, then this time will have been worthwhile.

  My main computer crashed and Windows must be reinstalled as new factory condition which means that allll software should be reinstalled.  Good news, it of that I had saved important files off my old C drive and had a doc with all my product inside keys.  I have re-installed LR, but first, he could not see one of the photos.  Yesterday I got this task performed using an order catalog import, but I must have chosen the wrong catalog.  Today, I watched the tutorial of Julianne on Lightroom backups and found that indeed there is a path where LR tells you where is stored the magic catalogue and I got it in my old folder.  I looked under C/Windows.old/Users/Carol/MyPictures/Lightroom and there is - a file called Lightroom Catalog.lrcat.  Went to import another catalogue and chose this one and waited very long.  Finally, all my collections arose, all the flags, the rankings, the kinds, presets, etc are here.  It's magic.

• How to continue rendering after a computer crash?

  Hello

  I was rendenring a great project and after 5 hours, my computer crashed (my fault). So I want to know if it is possible to continue my rendering at the same place as he ended the last time and how?

  I visited. AVI with after effects cs6

  Thank you

  If you're in a format such as AVI or MOV, you can't pick up a rendering where you left it.

  That's why you make long or complex as compositions of the sequences of images.

  You can pick up the rendering of a sequence of images to any image you want. Heck, you might have several different computers frames of your sequence of images too for a primitive rendering render farm.

  Sequences of images will be replaced with video files in any NLE (like the first) and can be easily paired with audio and returned in your last available this way.
