  • Problem re boot after updates.

    Hi, I have a laptop HP DV6, which is about 2 months old. He originally had Vista but I bought the cause 7 upgrde, I couldn't wait any longer for the free update, I want to come. Anyway, whenever windows needs to re start after updates to the computer does not start upward. When he tries, I see the HP screen at the first start and then nothing, just a blank screen. The power light comes on but the hard drive light doesn't work. I pressed the power button to turn off and turn back on and everything's fine. He started using Vista. I did a full restore before installing the 7 upgrade, but it always does. Any ideas?

  • Mailto doesn't work after updating FF 42.0

    Mailto doesn't work after my last update. The entrance of mailto is not under Tools > Applications and there is no drop-down list to add an entry. My default e-mail program is Windows Live mail.

    Hmm, mailto certainly should not be missed.

    Sometimes, the file that stores these actions of the Manager/download application is damaged. As it is difficult to change, when there is a problem, we offer usually when you rename the file and allows Firefox to rebuild the Windows registry. Who cannot help if mailto is missing from the registry, but I think it's worth a try:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to mimeTypes.old (or another name of your choice, in the case where you decide to roll back this experience).

    Launch Firefox back up again and return to the Options page to specify your preference. Mailto appears once more?

    Hello

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an update or upgrade.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try FaceTime.

  • Computer fails to boot after installing SP1

    I use Vista without SP1 for quite awhile. I've just updated to SP1 since the message kept popping on my screen. Now the computer will not book. I used the original vista bootable CD and clicked on repair. He began the process of repair, but got stuck at the same registry error

    !!! 0xc01a001d! 35032/165955 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedDat...)

    Thus, even the repair doesn't seem to work

    I need to fix this since I have a lot of important files on my hard drive.

    Support for Vista Gold (no Service Pack) ended on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. If you get only to try to install SP1 (and it is NOT yet installed), ALSO lack you the value of six months of critical security updates. Therefore, it is almost 99.9% certainty that you see the effects of a long infection date hijackware.

    The laptop is a 2007 medion mim2330 running 32 bit vista Basic.  He was protected by Bullguard, but it had expired and has been exceeded. A message appeared on the screen WARNING french that he had been infected by a virus - it does not look official and I am not sure that he clicked on the option to download solution - however the phone still worked. I had a Mcafee 3 user license and wanted to install it so I uninstalled bullguard and installed Mcafee process windows crashed and failed to WINDOWS START SCREEN appeared and I was unable to boot windown in any mode. I gave the phone to a knowledgeable friend who said it was a virus, but did not know that one - he said, it has been deleted, all hardware tests had been run and it was perfect. It has resized the partition of disk doing a great score including a remains a very small. He reloaded windows with avast antivirus and gave the laptop back to work. I wanted to use the Mcafee I had paid for, so I uninstalled avast and installed Mcafee. Everything went well and the laptop worked - however the mcafee warning sign came up saying scan in real time has been disabled - he turned back, but a few minutes it turned off again. I have contacted Mcafee used virtual tech then chatted in their eng who suspected a virus, a virus scanner from mcafee, rather than the laptop - it was very good. While the computer restarts windows laptop crashed and the WINDOWS FAILED to START SCREEN has appeared. I gave it back to my friend who reloaded windows and avast and widely used for a week. When we got it back avast had been removed and there was Windows Defender - didn't light alarm does not. We loaded on Mcafee and had plenty of updates (and hours) then tried windows live messenger telling to SP1 and SP2 are necessary. They were charged after an eternity using automatic updates of windows. After everything has been loaded on a final restart gave place WINDOWS failed to START screen and does not start in any mode. I thought it might be linked to the abduction of an antivirus and the installation of another, so I put in the original Windows restore disc in and formatted the large partition, then reloaded windows and all its drivers then went on updates auto and auto updates for 24 hours until what he said to date. Installed mcafee - no problem, then tried windows live essentials that required sp1 and SP2 - used auto updates to download SP1. When this is completed there were two messages from Mcafee saying restart the pc and the other problem Center and soln windows saying an upate problem was found to go online to find the solution, I checked windows update history and SP1 and all other updates were installed successfully, so I rebooted the laptop - at which point it crashed and WINDOWS has no PU START APPEARED to-it wont start in any mode. Suggestions as to the cause and or how to make the process of restoration in less time - much appreciated. We have a same laptop bought at the same time, running the same original software and Mcafee - never a single problem. Thank you very much

    Usually, this means that Windows could not load the packages of metadata for some devices on your computer. If you do not already have it, you can run chkdsk/r (there is a space between thek and /) to verify the integrity of your hard drive. Follow the steps below:

    1. reboot your computer

    2. immediately press theF8 key until you reach the Advanced Boot Options menu

    3. Select Safe Mode with command prompt.

    4. at the command prompt, typechkdsk/r

  • Windows 7 boot after update loop

    This afternoon, I ran windows update and it said to restart my computer.

    Reboot it starts normally and then when it gets to the page where I normally connect it says: "Please wait" then flashes to the 'preparation set up windows. Do not turn off your computer. "And then it restarts and does the same thing over and over again

    It does the same thing when I try to run safe mode, so I can't run that.

    "Startup Repair" does with anything

    He claims that I have no restore points, (which i cannot believe since I have them never deleted).

    Memory diagnostic Windows did not come with anything either.

    Any ideas?

  • computer does not start after update

    what computer starts without updates without problems.
    When the computer starts after a update it does not start and goes into the Startup Repair. after repair, I check: diagnosis and repair of the details:
    the root cause of watch - start criticalfile c:\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt. with a 0xa error code

    can I fix it myself?

    horticulturist,
    Did you run the System File Checker?  If so, what were the results?  If you haven't done so already, you will need to run (sfc/scannow) so that it can check your system files for all questions.  Also this happens after any update is installed, or only the current links that are pending?  I suggest try to install an update at a time and see if you are able to get the updates installed or not.

  • computer won't reboot after updates missing or corrupt ntoskrl.exe

    I have a HP pavillion laptop - I have upgraded to Vista Business (so I than the cd) the computer failed to install service pack 1 for ever. He kept getting an error which is ambiguous in the research. However, one day last week he decided that it would update on its own. After the update I get a message that indicates that the ntoskrl.exe file is missing or damaged. The machine does not start without failure or other mode. I got started with the disc once. I thought that the problem has been corrected - and then I restarted the computer a few days later and it happened again. I succumbed to get it to load all the. It is said that it can not be solved. The only time where this morning, I had to complete the restore of the system, the machine has restarted and began its count of files (I think that some 97000 files + as the update of windows) and loop to the same error message. I got to a command prompt and looking for help on what to do next. Thanks in advance for your help. In addition, because I bought the Vista upgrade separately - do any free support from MS? If so - where should I call? Thanks again.

    After the update to A18 on multiple machines, I noticed that they all hang after address DHCP is affected and what would normally be the menu timer (if it was not all work in progress) or launch from the boot of automation.

    I also noticed when you update to the latest version on our Latitude E6420s so.  Returning to the A17 on the 990 and the 6420 corrects this problem.

    Is anyone else having this problem, and this Signals to Dell.  I tried to Google this but any how, I wrote the search I can't find anything with recent BIOS.

    Hello Irios103,

    It is difficult to determine what is causing the conflict with Bios version A18 and your systems. The improvements to the code may be the cause of problems on Cisco switches or oldest feature, such as the tree covering weight or the characteristic power of conservation.  You can also make sure the quick port is enabled.
    If you do not need specific to this version of Bios patches, it may be better to not use it.
