  Hello hughfromgbr,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand that Pages does not react as you would expect, and this seems to happen only after you have worked in a document for a period of time.

  This problem happens only in a specific document, or does it happen in any document?

  If this occurs in a single document, can refine you when this occurs? For example, after you add an image or another element of the document.

  If this occurs in multiple documents, try to test a new document in a test on your Mac user account.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• DV7-4065dx does not start?

  I hope yall can help, or at least point me in the right direction!

  Last night my husband gleefully used his laptop playing farmville or other silly things he does. He left it alone for like 5 minutes to eat a sammich, and when he returned, it was frozen.  He closed down the hard (holding the power button until it is turned off) and now it comes... won't start.

  If you turn it on and do not press any button, he said something to the effect of "cannot start Windows. You want to run the tool (recommended) system restart or start windows normally? »

  If you choose "Start windows normally", windows attempts to load, restarts and the process repeats.  If you choose "startup repair" a bar at the bottom that says "Windows is loading files", and then it crashes on a very pretty blue screen.  Not the BSOD, but a nice pretty blue screen that would be lovely if only the computer bloody actually worked.  The pointer of the mouse is on the screen and I can move the mouse around, but nothing ever happens. I don't know that I can convince my husband that this blue screen is a new farmville feature, so it will not work for me.  Here is a picture of the blue screen of awesomeness: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/BlindInTheMire/IMG_20110830_170410.jpg

  The computer does with no disc in the drive AND recovery disk 1 in the drive. This thing is more rebellious as a teenager in anger. (That's 1 year, which is "teenage" years of computer? It should be)

  Now that we have established that it start normally will not work. I tried to push buttons.  I have tried f11, and it took back me to the screen "windows loading files", leading ultimately to the blue screen of awesomeness, I can't do anything except move the mouse pointer.

  I tried f9 with the recovery disk in this document, said the computer to boot from the cd/dvd drive, and once, it hangs at the BSOA (blue screen of the awesomeness. I don't know if it's the 'technical' term of the screen, but that's what I'm rolling with.)

  Is there a combination of magic button or... something I can do to get this weight of paper $800 working again?  Humor all sides, I hope someone can point me at least in the right direction. My husband REALLY likes his farmville.

  Hello

  Hey well at least who found the problem, the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.  If your laptop is under warranty, contact HP to have it replaced.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  

  If you are out of warranty and you would like a guide on replacing yourself (it's a simple process), please let me know.

• Power went off looking at the TV Media Center. Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.

  Original title: Media Center 2005 Edition

  I was watching TV using Media Center on my PC HP Media Center m7367c PC (running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) when the power went off.   Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.  The audio works fine, but no picture, the small rotating circle of progress hangs and the screen is frozen.  I can click the X (close Box) and the program closes.   I expect there are only one or two corrupt files that need to be cleaned or replaced.

  HP support is to use recovery discs to clear the system and return it to the original configuration.   Given all the software, data and updates, I have to restore, I don't want to go down this road.

  I tried running SFC/scannow but Windows XP system discs are needed and the PC vendors ceased to provide systems with their PC discs there are many moons.  I bought Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, but he came on one drive and requests SFC disk #3 while parsing.

  I go back to the original driver TV tuner and then updated to the more recent but not joy.  I think that the problem is with a program or file Media Center.  Now when I try to configure the TV signal my cable box is recognized and then as soon as the audio lights, MCE 2005 hangs and the tiny TV screen remains black.

  I expect a file Media Center must be cleaned or reset but before I realize FUBAR I thought that he better come on this Microsoft forum and see if someone who knows what they are doing can provide the solution.

  Hi, Rudy386MS,

  Sorry for the late reply.  Do you have the problem solved?

  If Sfc/scannow solicits the disks, then you have corrupt or missing files whose analysis cannot replace or repair.  The alternative is a complete recovery of Windows.

  Open the control panel and select Media Center

  Click on uninstall

  Select the repair option

  Click next

  Click Finish when you are prompted

  See if that helps.  If not, then the recovery process will be needed

  Startup of HP systems to screen recovery (repair) when you reboot and start typing the F11 key.  According to me, that it gives you the choice to 'Fix' that leaves your files intact or 'Recover' system that will put you back to 'out of the box' condition.

  There is a Recovery Manager in the folder all the HP programs which includes Disc Creator.  You can create your own recovery discs.  I suggest using DVD instead of CD - R.  They allow more memory space.

• XP does not start normally. Must use the F8-last known good configuration.

  Hello Susanherna,

  The last known good configuration is created during the logon process. This means that something has changed between the time that connect us and time that shut down us the computer.

  At the next startup, select instead of last known good configuration safe mode.

  We want to then try a clean boot.

• computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally

  Original title: stuck

  My computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally. When I choose that it just goes back to the same screen. stuck in this screen

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  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:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  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.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

• re black screen: start: last good known Config, Windows starts normally begins to start and fails

  This screen offers safe mode options that I didn't choose. When I select to start Windows normally the computer starts to boot and I see the Windows Logo, then it switches to the Logo from my computer with 2 different keys of F and when I looked into it and I tried again, I got the black screen again with these options and it keeps cycling.

  I tried F8 and I don't know enough to navigate. Can I get help? My windows disc seems to be broken, so I'll try another disc. I ran it under Configuration now it says: for installation: format the Partition using the NTFS file system. I don't know how to repair Windows on mine.
  The disc seems to be higher my score 1 digit. It is Windows XP Home Edition. The Windows disk that is scratched is not this edition. I do not know what form of Windows is installed in my BONES.
  I move files off my hard drive when this problem occurred and I got a blue screen and the computer began to dump physical memory... I turned off my computer. Recently, I had the memory stick inside, but it starts normally after that I did until this happened, I thought that this can happen because I changed the memory stick... not sure

  Hello

  Are you trying to clean windows install? Do not pass without taking your databackup as format NTFS means it will erase all your data on the disk, you will have:

  Validate windows

  Reinstall windows update

  Install all required software

  Restore your data

  What, exactly, is the problem. Remove first the cd boot pc, at the prompt when it asks for safe mode - select Safe mode, connect to pc using administrator.

  Click Start-> run, type &-> chkdsk /f c :-> OK

  He may ask you to schedule the scan of the drive-> select Y for Yes, restart your computer.

  I hope this helps.

• Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

  Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

  Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

  can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

  Picture of the blue screen with lines here: http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8583/post1278441253416372.jpg

  also - im wondering how to start with recov disks? I have two drives but only as on slot dvd thing and I know to start upward with her? should I boot with it because the layout is a little down? and I don't have an installation disc windows vista then Yes.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello Winston,

  According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

  If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

  My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

  Let us know what they have to say.

  Best regards

• System not start normally and unable to run chkdsk and system restore.

  Original title: impossible to plan

  I'm doing a system restore because my computer refuses to boot into normal mode, ONLY in safe mode.

  When I go through the process of system restore, I tells me there are errors on my C: drive and I need to check my drive. I try to do it and I said that I have to plan a which runs for the next time my computer starts up, and I can't because my computer does not start normally. Is there a way to get around this to force chkdsk/r?

  Hello

  You can try to perform a checkdisk boot from the Installation of Windows Vista disk and check.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

  f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

  Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

  g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

  h. restart the computer and check.

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a rapidespour of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• DV7-1232NR does not start

  DV7-1232NR does not start. The lights above the keyboard, the dvd player makes a bit of noise, then eventually the lights Verr Num and caplock do a slow blink continuously. As I understand it, flashing for default codes flashing one to six times, and then exit.

  Hello

  As you have no doubt already concluded, it would look like a significant failure of hardware, in particular given the fact that there was no change when the memory has been removed completely.  Unfortunately, the most likely component is the video chip which really means a new motherboard.

  The only other possibility might be interesting to try is to remove the module WLAN (Page 51), leave the battery and try to start Notepad on the entire sector.

  Kind regards
