  Hi Olivia Lee.

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. has the recovery disk provided by Compaq?

  3. what happens when you try to boot from the recovery disc?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the recovery disk to repair Windows XP as these recovery discs are very different from the original Windows XP.

  Therefore, you will need to make arrangements for an original CD of Windows XP and later to perform the installation of Windows XP.

  Refer to method 2 in the below Microsoft article on how to repair Windows XP installation.

• System recovery disks do not work.

  I have a HP G62 339WM Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I bought by mail, system recovery discs and they do not work.   And my HP Support Assistant displays "an error has occurred" and end not updates.

  The Troubleshooting Guide for the recovery started from CD or DVD says: "update the firmware of the drive. This is especially true if the disks were received from HP customer service by mail. The firmware of a DVD player (the pilot) isn't able to recognize the support of recovery disk which was created using a newer DVD manufacturing process. Download and install updates on the firmware of the DVD available at HP that corresponds to the type of DVD drive on your computer. »

  How do I update the firmware of the player when my HP Support Assistant would conduct no updates.  I downloaded the latest Hp Support Assistant and he always always says "an error has occurred."

  My laptop model has no updates from HP.

  As new as your laptop is I doubt you need a firmware update for the CD/DVD drive.

  Could you give a little more detail also the recovery disks do not work. For example you get an error, or is the laptop just not boot from them and goes directly into Windows?

  Have you tried to put the first disc in the drive, shut down the laptop, wait a minute or two and turn on the laptop, start typing the ESCAPE key to get the menu. Should be an option of F9 to select the boot device. Select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  Hello

  The reader at the link below must be compatible with your laptop and will offer a little more storage.  You might well be able to install a hard drive with a larger capacity, but this should be a choice course.

• Professional Windows XP search page and the System Restore page do not work.

  I recently did a clean install of Windows XP Professional on a laptop. I then upgraded to SP 3. I wanted to update some of my drivers and when I tried to open the page the system restore to create a restore point, the page is empty.  Later when I had questions, I tried to do a search and I have basically the same question. The search page opens with the puppy in the blue box, but nothing else.  Someone has seen this before and can help you. I can do another clean install if I have to, but I try to avoid it if I can.  Thank you in advance for any help I can get.

  No matter what media you used to install XP.

  You don't have symptoms consistent with a need to run sfc/scannow.

  If sfc/scannow solves your problems, I'll send you (or your charitable organization preferred) US $100.

  That Microsoft technical support engineers constantly not to mention, is that if you have installed SP3 from a download and your XP installation CD bootable real is not SP3 (what is?) running sfc/scannow will upset you constantly to insert your installation of SP3 CD and you will last anything else than a big frustrating waste of your time.  It will not help you in any case.

  @Microsoft support Engineer Imran M: Please explain why you think the sfc/scannow will correct this problem.

  Also, you have none of the symptoms consistent with a need to run the fix it.  Next, you need not to "check if it helps" - you need your fix.

  In fact, I've recreated the problem on my system and run the fix it and here is what he said:

  We did not identify any problems and that's why no fixes have been applied.

  Here is my usual full answer to the symptoms you describe.  If you have not been on the Internet with your own installation, your system should not have malware on it (yet), but I have at least "would fix the immediate question" as shown below by the three mentioned DLLs:

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore' or your user accounts settings page don't watch the title bar of "User accounts" and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box, and/or your Windows Search function shows just Rover (the animated search dog)...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

  You can now fix the symptom and scanning for malware later, or you can now find malware and fix the remains later.  I recommend just fixing the symptom of the empty page and forget to do the scans.  The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

  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.

  The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).

  Just fix the immediate question:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript.dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

• Blue screen on startup, the system restore / repair did not work?

  Hi, I get a blue screen on startup and cannot start windows - with the error code x0000007E.

  I followed the steps on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958233#StartupRepair however runs the repair does not work, and did the system restore.

  Will be saved my files / is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

  Hello

  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.

  ===========================================================

  The system has RAID? If so, it's also very suspicious.

  This error is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if she
  may be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, equipment (heat) and major software problems
  can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic
  methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

  Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
  Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
  spyware/security programs.

  When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
  update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

  BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E which is also 0x1000007E

  Cause

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
  interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

  Common exception codes are:

  • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

  For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
  the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

  Solve the problem

  If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

  • Make sure you have enough disk space.
  • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
  • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
  • Try changing video cards.
  • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
  • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

  If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
  (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

  If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
  has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
  Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

  In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

  If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

  • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
  • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
  • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
  • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
  • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

  If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
  or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
  sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
  Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
  in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

  If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
  control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
  by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

  Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
  device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

  You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
  Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
  For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
  Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
  BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
  space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
  the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
  contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
  free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
  info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
  error information such as codes of STOP and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

• system restore points will not work

  I'm doing a restore of the system as well and it keeps telling me it can't restore to the day, I chose. I tried it in regular and I now do in safe mode with no luck.  I run MBAM and SAS and only found some cookeis get rid of.  IM on XP pro sp3 and the reason to want go back, is that for some reason, some of my programs have been moved (paint and Calculator have been deleted unless I use RUN: to find them) and then my documents folder is now inaccessible.  I need a restore point at work and soon!

  Some security programs prevent changes to their file and must be configured to allow the restoration of the system work.  For example, if your computer has Norton Antivirus or Norton Internet Security, you must disable Norton product Tamper Protection before you run the system restore. See the documentation of your security program. Boulder computer Maven

  I recently had a virus and I had removed it by my anti-virus provider technicians. I had to boot mode safe several times and now I have found the system restore gives me the message "system restore has been disabled by group policy. To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.

  I am the administrator on my computer and the only user, and when I try to turn the system restore in system properties is not there! Any help would be appreciated. I use Win XP Pro SP3 pre-installed on a Compaq.

  I read the reply joelj1964 gave fixmycomp on do start, run and type GPEDIT. MSC, but when I got to the system has no system restore. Probably the virus removed?

  I fixed the problem thanks to what joelj1964 says "fixmycomp". I managed to find the restoration of the system configuration in the system [at the beginning I was looking in the wrong folder] and I tweaked between off, on and off the restoration and system configuration disabled, enabled, and disabled and after some trial and error [they are two people with disabilities now] and restart 2 - 3 times the system restore worked and now I can do the restore points.

• Windows 8 - recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive

  My HDD had major errors of io only 1 month laptop warranty. I can't clone the original disc, its dead. I'm relatively new to Win8 but I bought the factory HP recovery disks for my model and have tried repeatedly to restore the OS win8 without success even after support technical advice ofHP and several friends with more experience than me (and I got an A + cert for more than a decade)-I have no idea why he keeps fails. I ordered another set of discs and tried another new hard drive. The log shows all the hardware in the way and a sysprep not found error at the end. What Miss me?

  Problem solved! After another half-dozen recovery more attempts and lose more money on a new HP certified hard drive with the correct part number, I decided to give up Windows 8 and turn this laptop in a Hackintosh, I now on Mac OS X!  Microsoft has gone too far now, only not with the security of windows, instead of trying to make sure they get every penny they can from each PC running windows. His self defeat really. Those who cannot or do not want to pay the cost will simply find an alternative. I'm just tired of the headaches and of constantly having to spend my precious time proving that I have a valid OS license for every computer that I've updated or repair. Forcing people to buy the same item several times is aggravating and false. Sorry, just fan frustration.

  Hi reda:
  You must contact the parts store HP for a restore to your computer disk. Better yet, contact Microsoft Store or support where you bought or downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate from. I received the same message as well. I click the messaged that he ran scan it checked. Never seen the message once again. You paid a lot of money for this high rank. Microsoft will come good on that. I would contact them first before making a recovery and spend more money.
