• HP pavilion Dv6 laptop: does not start in normal mode, safe mode

  Hi all

  I have HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS. It was working fine up until two or three days.

  After that some software upgrades, it has stopped booting.   When I tried to start it in safe mode, it stops at disk.sys.

  I don't have win 7 OS CD or recovery CD.  So I downloaded the trail version of windows 7 SP1, I want to install this, but he is suspended the windows logo.  I Googled it has bitten, I loaded a linux kernel and access the hard disk.  I backed up all the files required by using this boot of linux.

  I don't know what to do now?  What is the problem with my system. When I ran the drive diagnostic. It was a failure. That means that I can't use this HARD drive?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi stephane,

  Well the error code certainly would indicate that the player began to fail, but just in case, you might try to wipe the entire hard drive first and then reinstalling the operating system as described below.

  Download and install Killdisk on the link below - (this application will write zeros to the entire disk).

  http://Software.LSoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe

  Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.

  http://download.CNET.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

  Access the application of disc kill you have installed in all programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators, then the BACK Bootable CD Creator that will burn the ISO on a blank CD bootable.

  During the following process do not worry about all warnings as your Windows 7 installation disk will reformat the HARD drive.

  Insert this CD into your PC which is unable to load the operating system properly. Close Notepad, and then start again to boot from the CD of Killdisk and follow the instructions on the screen to kill disk.

  A brief description of the process here is Killdisk.

  Use it to wipe the entire hard drive, Select (80 h) and press f10 (you will also need to type a confirmation and press enter) - ( This will make sure to include all of the partitions , and then start the process - this may take a few hours!).

  When the process is complete, remove the CD of Killdisk and try to reinstall Windows 7.

  If it still does not work, I think your only option is to replace the HARD drive.

  Kind regards

• Firefox does not start (not safe mode), but uses the CPU

  I have the latest Firefox 25.0 (and the last Flash 11.9.900.117) on Windows 7 and the following behavior is reproducible. It started not too long ago.

  At first when I launch Firefox, nothing appears no matter how often, I restart. I see in the list of the process firefox.exe to 25% of the CPU, 2 x FlashPlayerPlugin_11_9_900_117.exe (CPU 0%) and plugincontainer.exe. No matter how many times I killed all of them, would not restart Firefox.

  The following also not help in this situation:

  • Starting in normal safe mode: Firefox opens a window but immediately freezes and does not respond. The process list shows the same process even if I find the unexpected FlashPlayer.
  • Disable plugincontainer: same results (just without plugincontainer.exe)
  • Uninstall Flash: Same results (just without FlashPlayerPlugin)

  The following can start Firefox only once:

  • Starting in SafeMode but select "Reset Firefox": Firefox does not start right away, however. Nothing happens, and you have to kill the process. However the very next time you launch Firefox in the normal way, it works fine (but it shows FlashPlayerPlugin.exe in the list of unopened Windows process despite the tab). Unfortunately, after closing Firefox the process (Firefox, FlashPlayerPlugin) are not deleted. I kill and the problem with Firefox do not leave reappears.

  In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

  • do not delete Cookies

  Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

  Use "Firefox > output" (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox. Linux: Firefox/file > exit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing by clicking on the X close in the title bar of Firefox.

  Create a new profile manually (and not via the reset) as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

• XP labors heavily and Will does not start (sometimes even in safe mode.) "And if it starts in the DM, it will freeze when I try to enter to change anything).

  I have a XP computer. During use, the power supply cord unplugged and computer is dead. When I tried to restart it, it will go to the blue screen with an error, go to the screen that asks if I want to start in safe mode. It does not start in normal mode, but it does get my wallpaper and stay there. Sometimes Windows XP screen and stay there. It really starts to make a lot of noise when one of these things happens. Don't know what to do. I have a XP OS disk Dell provided with the computer. Any ideas?

  Repair the Windows XP installation - you should have all your files intact.

  A repair install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used to the repair facility. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will have to be reapplied.

  Good luck.

  Due to some troubleshooting research, I tried to delete the parent.lock my profile folder, but I get this error: "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Firefox."

  I tried to transfer my bookmarks and preferences from Firefox to Chrome, but I had a similar error suggesting that Firefox was already open and I have to close first.

  I also turned off my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times.

  I'd really rather not lose all my bookmarks Firefox, modules, and preferences. I also prefer to use Firefox for Chrome, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try.

  Try to create a new shortcut on the desktop Firefox and maybe to reinstall Firefox via a clean reinstall (i.e. remove the Firefox program folder).

  If you cannot remove the Firefox program folder and then try to rename this file to "Mozilla Firefox.old".

  Hey Horrie.

  There are also a lot of useful things in the article Knowledge Base of Firefox does not start . If you have recently upgraded, you can check out this article as well.

• Firefox does not start "XPCOM" message pop up, my user and passwords! ??

  My window 7 was not starting up properly so I did a system restore and now firefox does not start a message appears indicating "XPCOM" and I googled and all is said to reinstall Firefox. I don't usually to reinstall immediately because I need my passwords and username back. I can't find a solution on the forums, or if there is I have not found or I simply did not understand the solution itself. Please get back to me as soon as possible

  Thank you!

  Is a restoration of the system to a cancellation of the recent updates or something more radical?

  You can do the following type of reinstall without touching your settings files. Important: uninstall NO Firefox first. That is not necessary.

  Clean reinstall it

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 36 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) to rename the program folder

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  When you start Firefox, you may need to use the Profile Manager to return to your regular profile. Ignore: copy/paste glitch.

  Any improvement?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• Windows does not start successfully - only in safe mode.

  I have a 3200 HP with XP Home Edition. Windows starts only in Mode safe when I download Service Pack 3. Is there a way to fix this without doing a complete restore of the system.  I've been running without SP3 because I knew of this issue. Recently, it has been downloaded and now Windows does not start successfully.  Only in Safe Mode.   When I discovered this problem, I was able to fix it, but can't remember if it was fixed without doing a complete restore of the system and starting over.
