• Computer stops using Zune

  While trying to load music on Zune device, or make a cd with Zune, the computer turns off completely without warning.  Then when turning computer on he wants to start in safe mode I guess because he does not know why, or what it stops.  Contacted Zune already and they say that my device is working properly.  It is worth noting that I have 3 three Zune devices, 2 both of them are relatively new and the problem occurs with all of them.

  Hello Mdkm19,

• Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

  Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

  3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

  4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 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.

• Computer stops in normal mode. Do not use the safe mode, because I have no sound, or security out there, please help?

  Computer stops in normal mode quickly. Do not use in safe mode, because I have no sound or security, please help?

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
  This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
  who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

  Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
  in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
  air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
  You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
  test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help
  a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or the
  Support of system Maker.

• I stopped using my Vista two years ago, I can use it on another computer

  Hello

  I bought Vista Home Premium in 2008 or early 2009, but I stopped using it since end of 2010, it's nearly two years to not use my vista. I recently tried to install on my Mac but couldn't activate it.
  Is there a way to activate it again?
  My old laptop got damage, still shows blue screen, that's why I stopped using vista, he could hardly manage ubuntu.
  Thank you

  Hello

  If Vista is preinstalled on your old laptop (Acer, HP, Dell, etc.), it is an OEM license and not transferable to another machine.

  An OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  But if you have purchased your own Vista Retail License and installed yourself on this laptop, you can transfer the license to the retail on another machine.

  Just make sure that it is only installed on one machine at a time.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when installing a license retail on another machine.

• Computer stops instead of 'sleep' in Windows 7

  When I try to put on computer on 'sleep', it seems closed. that is, I have to start the computer rather than clicking with the mouse

  computer won't sleep

  The question seems to play with Windows 7 SP1, everything was going well until I installed last night.

  To solve your problem, you need to open a prompt with rights to heighten and issue a command.
  (1) search for 'CMD '.
  (2) right click "CMD" and "Run as Administrator"
  (3) in the command line, type "powercfg.exe /Hibernate.
  Sleep should work correctly now, instead of shutting down your PC.
  I hope this helps!
