You can try to perform the clean boot on your computer and check if that helps.

From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
5. click on OK.
6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
For more information visit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796

After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

To restore your computer to a Normal startup mode, follow these steps:

1. click on start in the box start the search.
2. type msconfig and press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

  • When I try to burn a music disc player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source

    I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

    When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

    Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

    In WMP, please click the button burn up and make sure that the Audio CD is selected. Then try burning the CD again, they now play on a standalone CD player too.

  • Games for Windows Live and GTA Episodes from Liberty City

    I haven't played this game for a while and decided to give it another turn. While I can select "play offline" and launch the game, I can't save any progress unless I connect to my Windows Live account.

    Now I can log on as Google Chrome or Explorer Windows without any problems (mind you that it seems to have changed this format to Xbox Live) that since I linked my account 'Live' to my Rockstar games account 'Social Club '.

    When I start the game in order to save any course or load a saved game, I need to access my Windows Live account, but he repeats to me than the account log-in / password is incorrect, even when I run it under Chrome at the same time on my second monitor

    I read that Microsoft has completed Windows Live and if they have KILLED MY GAME and cost me money because the game is no longer needed. What is the point of having a game you can't save any progress in and start all over again from the beginning, whenever you try to play?

    Anyone know how to get around this problem

    ColBoy

    I've seen a lot of discussion over the years about various games with GFWL and being not able to save unless it's connected, but I've never had this problem (except for "ghost" in DIRT 3 cars).
    Fortunately I did not have a problem with - "account log-in / password is incorrect," -be

    (Finally, no, since I started to avoid going to the line, or GFWL was updated).

    With GTA4 and EFLC, I have always used the "xliveless" (replaces the xlive.dll in the Games folder), which is on various modding sites, but you can not play online when using the xliveless fix.

    I don't really remember if this was necessary in order to save this game when it is offline. I just wanted to avoid GFWL right from the start, because he was always wrong. With this fix, you do not even a GFWL screen.

    It is always say Social Club to play if offline, but I don't bother typing in any "references."

    (I've just loaded EFLC and recorded in an empty slot to check a few minutes ago).

    'I read that Microsoft has completed Windows Live'

    It was supposed to be the case, but I think it's always hanging over our heads.
    -J' loaded the bats-AC last week and managed to connect to GFWL offline.

    GFWL wonder up-to-date, but I decline the update and it then disconnects online me anyway.

    The game did record the next control point.

    Some games have been "worn" more steam to become free GFWL. DIRT 3 is the last one you can "Add" your Steam account (or buy the 'new' Steam version w/o GFWL).

    It may be useful to check Steam to see if you can "add" the game to your Steam account.

    -C' is the first I've heard of linking GFWL Social Club.

    Is the link between the GFWL to Social Club supposed to be also a way around the GFWL thus?

    I guess it would be best if wanting to play online (if it can be done via Steam).

  • How clone a HARD drive and then use the clone with VMware (as well as Windows works!)?

    I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.

    I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.

    The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.

    How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.

    You can use the usb drive is
    you only need to patch the system a little registry
    to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
    http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

    Patching - easy Variant

    This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
    This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
    It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
    scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
    scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

    On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
    After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
    Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
    Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
    When asked for a name enter p2v.
    Then find the key

    HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

    and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
    Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
    You can now close regedit and restart.
    The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.

  • Games for Windows 7 and other things

    Three questions. I am currently using windows 7 rc and I tried to install a game that has been relased for vista only.  When the final version comes out I will be able to install on windows 7 or should I set up my secondary hard drive with my vista just to be able to play these games? Second element is I have a media player Extender hooked into my TV and with the CR I can't play my movies of the comp at the tv will this problem be resolved?  And finally I run a proccessor QuadCore with technically five gigabytes of ram, four on the motherboard and the other on my video card and Vista, my processor speed was a 5.9, but for some reason any Windows 7, it shows as a 4.4 whats the agreement on that?  other then that like the look and have had no problems with it again and actually think go against my own style and ordering a first edition software which is something I never really have.

    You should not have problems during installation and running the game on Windows 7.  As for other concerns you have, who should be resolved in the finished product and if Intel ever get the of it act together and starts to communicate with the developers of software and hardware.

    I have also included a statement from one of my previous posts just for those who may be reading and the question.

    Windows 7 will the have same backwards compatibility with programs that Vista has.  Which means that if the program or game is old (XP before or at the beginning) the chances are that it will not work.
    Windows 7 includes some versions of virtual XP which will allow you to run old XP programs in a virtual XP machine.
    If you include Virtual XP, Windows 7 will be able to run all XP software without problem.  Don't forget that you will need to have the right hardware to use virtual machines such as Virtual XP very well.

    I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.
