  • Satellite A300 will not get before the start screen

    Hi all

    had a problem with a laptop A300 about 2 to 2.5 years old. I just installed windows 7 prof and it worked fine for about 3 days and then all of a sudden it blocked start.

    He gets to the toshiba start screen and then reboots. He doesn't even try to start windows. You can go into the bios and make changes, etc., you can not press f8 to load in safe mode, only it does not even come to that.
    You can press f12 and raise the start menu and try to boot from the CD but this new fact not work and it just restarts again

    I don't know how else to troubleshoot it. I don't think it's a motherboard problem can you enter the bios.
    It could be a HARD drive problem, but then I thought it would have gave you a warning message of any (no available boot device) and you can see the HARD drive in the bios and would have thought that it would have started at least on a CD.

    The only things I can think about are drive problem HARD for the problem RAM or motherboard problem.
    I think install win 7 to 3 days there is just a huge coincidence?

    Any help would be great. Thank you

    Hi hitenkacha,

    Hmm... Which is really strange, if the laptop restarts after the Toshiba start screen but it doesn t happen if you go into the BIOS or boot menu...
    So, if you go into the BIOS and wait a few minutes, he doesn t restart?

    Yet one thing would be interesting to know: what happens if you try to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba? Generally, it should still possible to boot from this drive if it s ok.

    Microsoft has a huge Gallery of themes and wallpapers which you can see here:

    And you can also use your favorite search engine to find images to use also.  Just looking for pictures and when you see one that you like, right click to save it.  Later, you can go where you've saved (probably your photos or download folder) and right click any image for "(définir comme fond d'écran)."

  • How to get other options of voice other than Sam in speech recognition?

    Original title: speech synthesis
     
    I was wondering. I have Windows XP Professional and I use text-to-speech, a lot, but I only have Microsoft Sam as my voice option. The strange thing is, I could have sworn when I first implemented this XP I had a selection of voices, but now is only Sam.  Anyone know how to get other options?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you can use audio only Sam in Windows XP, the default design. If you need any other voice other than SAM you can try the search in the Web site, using one of your favorite search engines.

  • How can I fix lines horizontal randomly and glitter for the LCD screens for HP Pavilion dv5 Vista?

    How can I correct random lines horizontal and glitter for the LCD screens for windows vista HP Pavilion dv5? Only, it happens randomly and can get all a few minutes at a time every few hours. The entire screen white and black and horizontal lines will appear during the flickering on the half top of the screen only. Nothing else changes. My sound is immutable, and none of my screens change the size or location. However, they may appear up and down during the flashing. Can someone give me an idea of what is wrong? I looked on Google for possible corrections, but most of them seem to be for refresh rate and I don't have a notch for this and can't change it according to the steps they offer.

    Read my initial response on what it takes to please.

    "See if this helps you:

    These lines indicate corruption graphics driver or lack of graphic material.

    Go to the HP Web site > Search a drivers and download article > search your laptop model number > your operating system > drivers for it: either video / graphic / Chipset (according to the wording it) > download and install the drivers.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    If that fixed it, it seems to me be a problem of graphic material.

    Because it's a laptop; If under warranty, contact HP.

    If is not under warranty, contact a repair shop, local. »
