  • Satellite L305D-S5892 - Windows has encountered a problem

    Hello

    I have an I have a Toshiba-L305D-S5892
    With Vista Home Prem 32

    I have a few problems and am currently blocked.

    Each problem below, is a problem that I met after taking a few steps.

    * The 1st problem *.

    A few hours ago my screen was frozen just after I tried to install this codec from microsoft, so the only option I had was to do a hard reset.
    When my computer back on, I received this message:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error may be cause of disconnect a device removable storage such as an usb external drive while the appliance is in use or by defective as a hard disk hardware or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected I / 0 error has occurred.

    I didn't have any usb device or removable in media.
    I can only access my utility series at the beginning, which is this menu: hand-Advanced-display-security-Boot - out

    * 2nd problem *.

    I opened my laptop and released the CD / DVD + RW, he started upward and now I get this message:

    For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI - E Ethernet Controller v1.07

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable.

    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM.

    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

    * 3rd problem *.

    I downloaded the NEOSMART repair Cd.

    Once I'm in the System Recovery Options, it tells me to select an operating system. However it has not traded. If I press drivers to load, then a message tells me to insert the media, and then select drivers. I almost 'ok', and then am taken to explore, when there are a few system files and files (all empty)?

    I'm confused... any help?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a problem with the system eventually installed the HDD failures.
    Why?

    Due to the issue described in point 2.
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the phone didn t find the installed operating system and try to boot from LAN.
    This happens especially if the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS.

    My recommendation;
    Access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
    If this isn't the case, then you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS, then take a recovery disk and try to reinstall the OS again.
    If you have no recovery disc, then you can order it here.

  • Windows has encountered a problem with the DVD/CD on Qosmio G20

    has obtained a g20, problems with the cd player. When I go to copy or move music or pictures on my cd/dvd, I get a pop up saying windows has encountered a problem with this drive...
    can someone tell me what is happening.
    Thank you

    On this path, it is not easy to say anything. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The unit should be recognized and installed correctly.

    If you want to create data CDs using windows options please check disc recording option. Check the properties of the drive and check option under the recording tab.

    Good bye

  • Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?

    Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?  MikeW

    There are many possible reasons.  What you have tried to do over time?  Is there additional information printed with this message?  A few possible reasons come to mind:

    • The file was opened exclusively by the operating system or another program
    • The full path to the file from the C:\... contain more than 256 characters
    • Permissions problem: you have read permissions for the file or permission in writing to the destination
    • The file entry or damaged directory disk sector. (Run the command chkdsk with the /R option to this address)
    • The file is larger than 4 GB and you try to copy it to a disk formatted with a FAT file system.

    I'm sure that there are more reasons, but need more information.

    The reason may be spyware or adware or... If it is unexpected, if not, there is a problem with a Microsoft program.

    So try scan your pc using:

  • Keep the help and support window always on top

    It's amazing to me the problem is often to find information to help on a simple topics in Microsoft Help and Support.  For example, as new Vista, I spent over an hour looking for the Protocol parameters to keep my window help and Support, always on top while I'm trying to follow his instructions on a topic.  All the variations of 'always help and support window always on top' I used, in the help on the computer, offline were in vain.

    So, can someone answer for me I do this?

    Hello
