Desktop startup problem (running windows XP)

I keep my desktop using "start" and "turn off computer" four days ago.    Now, when I try to turn on the computer the power button lights up but the system does not start.  One of the buttons on the monitor says "in power saving mode, press a key or move the mouse" Unfortunately, by pressing a button any has no effect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  It is an older dell desktop computer.

Thank you.

I has nothing to do with windows, because you will not see the same bios boot with DELL logo. All you have to do is to check the cable from the monitor into the back of your Cabinet. If you also know material, then try removing and reseating the RAM into the motherboard. Hope that it will give you the display. Good luck!

  • Problem running Windows 7 Ultimate on Toshiba NB 500

    I have a Toshiba NB 500 brand new, bought with Windows7 Starter. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performance are terrible.

    The processor works 80-100% beyond 1 GB of RAM are used only by the system and all the programs I try to start takes forever. Is there a hardware problem or the system does not support 7 Ultimate?

    If the system is the problem, how can I go back to Windows 7 Starter, because XP doesn't have drivers for this model?

    In my opinion NB500 is designed for basic operations, as well as to offer the maximum on mobility. I also think that this piece of equipment is not designed to run heavy apps.

    It is small, you can carry it with you everywhere where you go and use for the internet, emails, Skype and some multimedia stuff so I put t understand why do you expect a great performance. Because of these facts, I think that Toshiba doesn't offer a lot of support for this piece of hardware.

    You can try to play with the settings but I don't think it will help.

  • How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

    My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

    You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

  • The desire to have identical screens 'connect' for both computers, both running Windows XP, SP3.

    I have two desktop computers, one running Windows XP Professional, SP3 and the other running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3. When I connect the computer professional, it passes through the boot info, then on the screen of Microsoft Windows XP with horizontally lights flashing and then having to display all users who said "to begin, click your user name." However, on the computer of the publishing house, he crosses the start screen, the screen of Microsoft Windows XP with horizontally lights flashing, but goes to a screen titled "Windows Journal" and asks for my username and password.

    What should I do to get the computer to the Publishing House to display the same "to begin, click your user name" with user names like the professional instead of the "newspapers Windows screen?"

    2. Enter command prompt in the search box.
    3. In the results list, drag down on or right click command prompt, and then press or click run as administrator.
    4. In the administrator: command prompt window, type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command:

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

  • Problem with windows startup

    The computer I'm currently difficulty running windows xp mce... said mce2005... license sticker it starts and request passwords for profile at this point, everything is fine and its poss to type the password and click on a profile available... once the account is open it starts to load the startup progs but the operating system will not respond to the mouse or orders... I tried to load safe mode, but I have the following blue screen "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer... stop technical info: 0x000000c5 (0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000) I am trying to recover data... any thoughts?

    Jam,
    Well the first thing to try is to disconnect all external devices (printers, USB hubs, etc...) and reboot.  Then as soon as you press on enter from the password screen press on and hold down the SHIFT key.  Just keep holding it and until you're either at the level of the Office normally or you're sure that it is locked.  If you are able to correctly by able to get on the desktop then I would setup a clean boot.

    If this does not help, and that your main concern is just to recover the data then you might want to consider performing a Parallel Installation and then recover the data you need.

  • How to copy the data from Palm Desktop on a PC running Windows 8.1

    If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (addresses, calendar, notes, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing the combined capacity and 'sync', you can see this is useful.  I bought a new PC running Windows 8.1 and had problems with data transfer due to a problem as I understand it, which does not exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions.  Here is a summary of a way to easily transfer data from these earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) very convenient:

    (1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC.  Give a user name exactly as it exists in the database from your old PC.  This name will serve as Office Automation to create a folder name of six letters (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold the data that Palm Desktop will turn upward.  Wait a few seconds for this to happen, and then close the application on your new desktop.

    (2) in your old PC you want to transfer data from, find the folder named "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in 'Documents' under path of folder and subfolders 'Users' as > your subfolder name > Documents in Windows 7 (can also be Vista) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP.

    (3) in this folder "Palm OS Desktop" search this subfolder of six letters of your name and select this whole subfolder and select 'Copy' or Ctrl-C

    (4) locate the same name of subfolder in your new PC (which will have data zero), delete and then 'paste' the subfolder you "copied" in the exact same location.  If you did it right, Viola!  Your new desktop PC should display all the transferred data, once you open the application again.

    Most of the same procedure works with PC Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8).  What I found different is that the subfolder of data created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a"0"(zero), added as the last character.  When finally, you copy and paste this subfolder in the new PC there so rename and add "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate these data.

    I hope this helps.

    Data in XP is located in C:\Program Files\Palm (or PalmOne) \ < your HotSync name truncated > \Backup.

    HotSync for Win8 has been available for quite a while now!  See the post at the beginning of this section called "64-bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop" for instructions and driver downloads.

    Palm Desktop 4.x and 6.2.2 use different database formats - 6.2.2 went to .mdb as an extension.

    Best way to migrate data is to perform a HotSync on the new machine, or use the built-in in Palm Desktop Export/Import option.  Export the addresses and calendar files, and then copy those of the new machine.

    The import option to retrieve data.

  • I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

    Hi all

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
    I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
    Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
    I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

    No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    the honest answer is expected... Thank you!

    Hello

    Try this:

    Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
    Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
    Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

    Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
    you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

    Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
    Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
    most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
    run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
