Dell laptop, win 8 stuck on 6 of 16

The woman has a HP Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series (it is a portable touchscreen), not sure of the processor or memory, Windows 8 and automatic update started. This machine has been butchered on 6 of 16 for two days.  Any ideas?

Hello

You will need to probably do a hard reboot and see what results.

If you then need to do a startup repair, let us known.

Your other choice is to keep waiting and hoping that it ends.

See you soon.

  • What C++ screws to use on a Dell laptop Win 7 32 bit?

    I intend to use C++ to develop software to analyze songs of humpback whale.  I was conducting the study for several years with the software that I developed in Borland Delphi 7.  Resumed Embarcadero from Borland and the price for their version of Delphi is too high to replace the version of Borland.

    The study that I run my own and are not affiliated with a major institution, requires that I create my own analysis software.

    I installed screw C++ on a Dell 64-bit computer but I get an error "failed to build project."  I just find it to be a fairly common complaint.  I tried everything I could think and try everything that had been suggested including with the laptop in 'Safe' Mode  Nothing has worked.  I'm fed up.

    I had screws C++ loaded on the computer inherited before a disk failure hard and worked.  I think that it is Visual C++ 10.

    What is the name of the package down load?  Microsoft seems to have an abundance of names for the various incarnations of their packages.  All I need is a C++ IDE and a compiler for Windows applications.  No Android apps, not applications I-phone, just the Basic compiler/editor like Borland used to provide in happier days package.

    If you have this many thanks for your attention,

  • Win 7 Dell Laptop starts up by itself - don't want to

    Every night, as I closed my Dell laptop and every morning it is on and running.  Never had a PC that starts by itself before.  How to stop and remain closed until I have physically turn it on?

    It's too bad the Answers MS implementation forums ask all basic system information when a new question is asked, so we know almost nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic informations of a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues, but that's the way they choose to turn things around here.

    Thank you owners MS Answers, continue to make solving simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Please answer the following questions, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    If you have a Dell computer, what is the Service tag number?

    What is your Windows Version and the Service Pack?

    Microsoft hired Support Engineer "experts" like to point you in the direction of a task being the culprit, to wake up every day, but I think it's unlikely since that would take some additional effort and configuration required to make it work, but you can of course check if you want.

    Anyone who thinks that this is perhaps a task scheduled, just try to put in place a scheduled task on your own system to wake up when it is stopped and you'll see what I mean, so tell us how that works for you.  Can operate you?

    It is more likely that your system of brand not specified and the model with unspecified of operating system and Service Pack receives a "magic packet" (ISP) Internet Service provider.  Often at or around midnight or in the early hours of the morning.

    This means that even if the system is off, some systems have a feature that will wake them up when there is some activity on their Internet connection - even if the computer is off (which is normal and can be useful).

    Sometimes this can be referenced to as the receipt of a "magic packet", that's just what the system needs to see the Internet connection to wake.  Often these things seem to happen shortly after midnight when providing your Internet (FSI) service may send these magic packets.

    You can read some about it here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/810719

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/wake-on-LAN

    More on LAN (WoL) support is sometimes implemented in the motherboard of the computer.  Motherboards more modern with a built-in Ethernet controller supports WoL you must find this option/feature and turn it off.

    To test the theory of WoL, the next time that you turn off your computer for the day, physically disconnect the Internet connection on the computer and wait (as long as you think it takes to convince you) and see if the system turns on automatically or not when the cable is unplugged at the time where you suspect - after waiting longer than it usually takes to get it to run itself (which can be a night or more).  That means that you'll maybe wait a day or two to test this idea.

    There might be a setting in the BIOS of your system to turn on/off this feature or your network card, but since we don't know anything about your system, it's just a guess.  You can look around in your system BIOS and see if you can spot this feature and turn it off, save the settings and see what things look like.

    You can visit the web site of manufacturers for your unspecified system brand and model to see how to disable this feature.

    It could also be a setting to disable in your network interface card properties to not allow the system to start or come out of hibernation or standby on a signal of the device or router.  You can look in the Device Manager and the properties of your device for these settings and disable these features.

    You are looking for a "Power management" tab or something like this:

    In Manager of devices, network card, for a controller NVIDIA network under properties, advanced settings called "Wake on Magic Packet" and "Wake on model Match" there which can be disabled.

    On my motherboard in the system, the BIOS under power management settings is a section called 'Wake Up event Setup' and in terms which are the different ways you can configure the system to wake up from some events.  Under this article are things like the keyboard, the mouse and the other is "Summary by Onboard LAN" which if I activate the correct "magic packet" and which comes in the built in Ethernet, my system connection would start by itself.

    Try not to think that it is a thing of Windows, you will need to change - it's more of a physical thing that has to do with your motherboard or network interface and how you connect to the Internet.

    Sometimes you can do it from Windows via the properties of the network adapter in the device, under the tab 'Advanced' or 'Power Management' Manager.  You may need to look around for it.

    Look for things like 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' or "Allow only the management stations to wake this computer" and make adjustments to turn off and disable these features.

    Don't forget to restart after each adjustment and I'd like to go back and check the settings again to make sure they "stick".

  • Computer Dell laptop with Windows 7, upgrade to IE9 and now the computer is slow

    Original title: did someone really knows what I need to do?

    I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 (I have set accidetally to level internet explorer to 9 widows. I need to Java and Adobe. But my computer is slow. I do not know what prorams that I need to run start or to uninstall... Someone really knows what I need to do?

    FYI: with a topic like this, you have 2 strikes against you. Most of the people don't bother wasting time looking to see what your problem...  Next time be brief and specific about your problem, is to give an application (with version) and the code error or describe your problem briefly.

    If you don't want to be a Guinea pig, you can follow these instructions to uninstall Explorer 9:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/help/IE-9/How-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

    Looks like you want to control the programs that run at startup, right? It is always a good thing to do. You can run MSCONFIG (type in the search window on the start menu).  See the "Startup" tab  So, you can use other applications to display the same information. For example, CCleaner has a 'tool' that does the same thing.  NirSoft does: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html

    Browse the list of questions, and if you decide all. For example many applications load stub apps to speed up their startup. If you do not use all the days of the app, uncheck the box and it does not load.  If you do not recognize, this is often the case, track the location of path or to register 'Command' to try to understand what program it is for.  Use google to search for file names. Other people have asked the same question and got answers on the importance of the application is.

    Related, another thing to work is 'Services' (new type who, in the start menu, look for the window). They are a special software that runs in the background to provide services such as faxing or printing. Yet once, often you need not all services.  You can find a lot of information on how to do this in Google search for "Harden Win XP" or related expressions. They call it "Soak" because in this context deactivation of services makes your computer safer, more 'hard' hack by eliminating the places to be hacked.  Don't you worry that many of the articles are 5 or more years, they will be still valid.  Here are some links to help you get started:

  • How to share a printer Canon MP 970 with a WinXP Dell laptop and a Dell of Win7 desk top?

    I recently implemented a Dell PC in Win7 professional desk top which is ethernet connected to Verizon FIOS router home. This configuration has replaced a desktop Dell 7 years under Win XP computer. In an adjacent room, I have a Canon MP970 USB printer connected to an old Dell Laptop for six years under Win XP and connected wireless to the router home. I was unable to configure the latest desktop computer Win7 to share Canon printer. Older Dell/WinXP (replaced) desktop has been configured to share the printer Canon with Dell laptop, WinXP and did successfully...

    In the laptop, I selected control panel > printers and faxes > sharing > drivers additional > environment, but can find no list for Win7. My thought is that the laptop must have the appropriate driver that allows it to recognize the request of Win7 Office to share the Canon MP970 printer. Thank you fo all help and advice from the community can offer.

    Hi GrampyH,

    If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can share it with anyone on the same network. No matter what type of printer you have, as it is installed on your computer and is directly connected with a USB cable or other type of printer cable. The people from that your choice to share the printer will be able to use it to print, as long as they first locate your computer on the network.

    Printers that are directly connected to a network and not connected to a computer are available to anyone on the same network. These printers must have a network port or wireless connection that allows them to connect directly to the network.

  • Dell laptop 2nd day shipping... ITS BEEN 3 weeks!

    So, tell me why pay for a 2nd day shipping when it's been 3 weeks I bought the Dell laptop and still have not received it. Assuming all similar position, they are just as frustrated as I am! It still says "in production" and that the estimated delivery date is tomorrow as in 15/10/15? Why are there no updates it's been shipped! I'll have to wait a year to receive because they are unable to update things quickly. It should not take from 24 to 72 hours after that that they "update" the status of my order to provide me with any changes. It should be immediately! Every single company that I EVER ordered was their immediate updates, so I know exactly where he is... I'm sorry, but I'm tired. Not only that but may I remind you that I paid for the 2nd shipment day. They need these constant problems customers have with all of this. It is completely unacceptable! Seriously, I'm not happy and I have paid for the 2nd shipment because my other one broke and I have no laptop for school. I'm NOT happy.

    I ordered a Dell XPS 8900 on October 7 with an estimated delivery date of October 19.

    I had 2 weeks between the estimated delivery date and my business trip scheduled for early next month

    that seemed reasonable.

    He is stuck in the "production" and today, when I checked the estimated delivery date

    jumps to 5 November. It is 17 days. I understand change in 2 or 3 days but 17...

    I called customer service: after a 40 minute wait I got someone who made me hold it for awhile

    and told me there was nothing she could do about it and hung up.

    This means that when you order something from Dell, you must not anything for at least 2

    month? The delay between the date of your order and your estimated delivery date can simply triple?

    And then they cling on you.

    Hi Hema,

    Thank you for your kind reply.

    I bought the system in a Dell store allowed, but the thing is I'm getting confused on post purchase experience.  The bag pack which the seller gave me apparently local, when I refused to take it, he assured me that I will get a real bag after a few days. I also think that I cheated from windows.

    I will be much obliged if you can read the issue in the context (the conversation with the windows community)-

    My question - what is the use of "slmgr / / ato" command, my system is watch a range error code 0x80072EF7, when I run this command. can be solved?

    response-

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the publication of the description and the error code that you get when running ' slmgr / / ato "command, it seems that you have any question in your Windows activation.

    Use of slmgr / / ato command:

    For volume systems, with a KMS host key retail editions or a key to activate Multiple (MAK) installed /atoprompts Windows to attempt activation online. Activate Windows license and product key from the Microsoft server. If you receive error 0x80072EF7 code then I suggest you to try the steps outlined in the article below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    My question-

    I can't run these technical stuffs on my computer. I'm scared I might lose the original settings since I'm not familiar with computer terminology. I didn't activate windows, I run the command "slmgr/ato' because of Microsoft technical team asked me to do the same. The reality is that I just bought a new Dell laptop, which came with no reinstalled windows, but dealer told me it communicates me windows 8.1pro as compliment (when I asked him which win. I should use win10 update or win original 8.1). and the cost of windows is not mentioned in the Bill. I was not aware at the time of the purchase that I won't have a preinstalled windows system, because I asked the price for laptop with the desired configuration and win8.1. I never thought that I buy a DOS system. I paid for almost the same price for laptop with "win 8.1pro" brokers in the area compare to preinstalled laptop computer sing.language win8.1. After 2 days, when I realized the question and asked the technical team at Microsoft to see if windows that is installed on my system is authentic or not, and they told me that windows is authentic, after checking with my key.  From there, my doubt starts Can a windows be true, even if the user has no evidence that he has purchased? Is the only information is the product key which certifies the genuine windows? What is the risk if the dealer gives the same key to another customer as a "compliment".

    Once I shared the issue with Microsoft support, they tried to hear me, but I think that they have not properly my concern. However, they asked me to run that command and message showed that windows is already activated. Since then, I thought that it could be someone else can also use the same key, I tried to check this order 4 days after. Since then, this error shows. Now, I want to solve each and every error on windows, I will also be very grateful if you could provide me the only way to learn how to check the real windows.

    response-

    Yes, I agree with you, your concern on the product key. It is true that your computer vendor could give the same product key to the other person as a gift too. If another person uses the same key to activate the OS, then you might get pop up to activate your Windows or other activation errors.

    You can see the article mentioned below to check if your OS is authentic.

    My question-

    Today, I called again to Microsoft helpline years technical support says my concern again. This time they told me that 'the ID of the product' which I use is enabled on other computers, but still found my authentic windows. I wonder, earlier the chat session which is held with the technical support told me that no one can use the same key that I use. If it someone trying to do it won't affect my computer because I am one who is authentic and the first user. I don't understand why are there different versions of the truths in the company for the same problem?

    I feel very sad that the company like Microsoft is not able to do something for their customers like me who are less sophisticated techno and want to become authentic windows user! Now, I think there must be a link any between the 'error', I've mentioned above and even the activation key on a different system.  I'm afraid how it would affect my system if other systems get activated by the same key. I don't know what are the services that I won't be able to enjoy if my windows become ingenuine later. Kindly guide me how to raise my complain about best way (with respect to the argument) to the dealer or authority be it is.

    response-

    If you have a valid key, then you will be able to turn it on again. If you call our support team then they will check into his tool and validate it, after doing this they will validate your key and help by activating the latter, if it turns out anyway.
