• Satellite C660-1FS - error starting Windows 7

  Hello to everyone. I have this laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium (no data by purchase of installation disc). Since this morning, I feel the following message/problem

  Windows error recovery

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem. If the power was interrupted during startup, chose to start windows normally

  Start the reboot system (recommended)

  Start Windows normally

  These two options do not work. In addition, Windows cannot enter Safe Mode. I live in Belgium and I don't know what to do. I will try with windows 7 installation disc a friend (from Dell laptops) or should I contact Toshiba?

• My computer guard turn off at startup; error starting Windows. Could someone help me please?

  Hello

  I have an Emachine, which is about three years old. We take good care of it, look at what we download and perform analyses of virus frequently a week. But for the last two or three weeks every time we start our computer, it takes a few times before he can actually get into Windows because it maintains power off. When he died, and we turn it back on, the computer goes to the screen if you want to put it in safe mode or start Windows normally, because there was an error starting. The computer offers the possibility to try and correct the error, but sometimes it is remedial and it still happens or it goes into repair mode and powers off the coast.

  We downloaded and installed the System Mechanic (the latest version), hoping that it could detect errors in the disk hard because we heard good things about the program. Unforunately after installation and with us the program running, he finds errors in all of the computer, but after you power on your computer and leave it alone for a few hours and turn on again, the problem comes back right to the top. From a logical point of view, we think it could be either an error on the HDD causing constantly turning the computer off, there might be a virus in the Startup Repair which is not find and fix the problem or there might be something wrong with the power supply by to short circuit and power off.

  Nine times out of ten once the computer is turned on, you can even say that there is a problem to be with, because everything works well. We have some important information about the computer is harmful that we can find and fix the problem.

  Thanks a lot for your time!

• Windows 8.1 SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (ndis.sys)

  I received these blockages of the system for a short while now. They occur generally when I leave my laptop on standby for 2 days without the ' down (not sure if this has to do with the problem), and when I opened the laptop I get SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (ndis.sys). What could cause this problem because I am afraid that it will continue to occur more frequently, until now, has happened only 5 times during the month. Thank you in advance!

• No sound on Tecra S5, "THotkey" error starting Windows XP Home edition

  I have a laptop Tecra S5, I deleted some old programs for card readers.
  Now, sound does not work and starting the PC, windows starts and I get the message: "Error THotkey" this audio diviece is not supported.

  Is it just the audio driver what is missing and how can I reinstall it?

  Who knows, what did you do with stuff pre-installed. THotkey has nothing to do with the old programs for card readers, but it is very important tool of Toshiba.

  Did do us all first to know what is the status of the sound card in Device Manager. Sound card installed and registered correctly?

• Error starting Windows

  Receive an error at EACH start. Unfortunately impossible to get rid of this error. Does MSCONFIG and removed from the commissioning, but that doesn't seem to work.  The error is: error loading C:/windows/adarijarafecufica.dll

  It is easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
  I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
  These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
  Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
  There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.
  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
  !, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can still find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can use Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove
  .  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
  Given that systems currently has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

  Hello

  This means that the CAUSE of blue screen of D1 is a hardware problem, as opposed to
  in software. However, it is not always reliable as some software to 100%
  questions can trigger the problem.

  Things you can do:

  1. contact Toshiba Support or a real computer store (service internal
  and not a leek and display a Best Buy or other stores). In particular have
  memory tested and replaced if necessary.

  2 solve the problem as stated in the above troubleshooting guides. It would probably be
  correct the software question more if this is the cause.

  3. save the data and re-installed Windows - this will not help if the problem is the
  memory suspected cases or other materials.

  I hope this helps.

  Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  6. other hardware components are faulty. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  As you probably know Evesham closed to the public in 2008.

  I think that your computer is a portable computer. I can't access a free copy of the manual, but I imagine that you have a copy of the operating system on the hard drive in a recovery partition. Am I wrong?

  Before attempting to repair your computer, you will need to back up your data files on removable media. If the computer does not start, you need access to a second computer at home. Do you have a? If Yes is it a desktop or a laptop?

  I would also ask if you comfortable using a screwdriver to remove the hard drive of your laptop Evesham, put it on an external support which can be purchased via Amazon and its connection to a USB port on the second computer. These are not difficult tasks, but not everyone wants to take on this task. If not comfortable take your laptop to a local computer repair shop.

  As for the repair of your laptop once you have recovered your data files, restore the operating system to factory settings using the copy of Windows XP, which I think is more than likely in a recovery partition. It will be activated by single key, perhaps the F10 or F11 key or you can have an option in the menu that appears when you press the F8 key during the boot process. It also seems that Evesham commonly supplied recovery discs.

  If a factory restore does not work I would then test the memory.

• Blue error screen of Windows 7 Ultimate BSOD netio.sys

  I installed Windows 7 ultimate long ago and a few days ago, he started to show me the blue screen with the error in netio.sys every hour or two exactly! It says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

  I can't understand the problem!

  Here's the minidump file:

  http://CID-e1cd0c8a8f0713a2.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/minidump/030310-19983-01.dmp

  
  

  Thanks in advance

  
  

  In addition, since the minidump file, it has a reference to the nvm62x32.sys. The nvm62x32.sys is access to and possibly damage the memory before the pacer.sys, ndis.sys in the tcpip.sys, netio.sys.

  "' The nvm62x32.sys is the NVIDIA NIC driver and has a timestamp of" Fri 17 Oct 17:00:39 2008 "so it should be updated if possible.

  Y at - it an optional update for "NVIDIA nForce networking controller" on Windows Update?

  If so, try installing this driver.

  Also, you seem to use LogMeIn.

  I would also say to ensure that you have the latest version of this software.

  BTW, were there any software or changes to the hardware in the system, which would have coincided with the appearance of the problem?

  Any solution for this please?

  Hi saisinga,

  This error messages are usually caused due to the failure or corruption of files of drivers on the computer.

  I would first check if you are able to boot in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you are unable to boot into safe mode then I suggest that you try a startup repair using the vista installation disk and check.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  1. Insert the installation disc.
  2. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  3. 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. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer.
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
   
  Check out the link for more information below.
