• After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

  Hi all

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
  However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
  It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
  Original title: Sims 2 causing my computer does not shut down properly?
  I think I have Directx 11, because when I installed my graphics (ATI Raedon 7770) it updated automatically to that. I play other games like Skyrim here, which does not cause this weird close the thing. I installed the patch from EA Games for the game itself, as well.
  Help would be appreciated, because I'd really like to be able to play Sims 2! If one of the expansion packs resolves that it be so. Anything to solve this problem!
  Thank you.

• my computer shuts down about 2/3 of the way after that the progress indicator starts and stops... any suggestion as it turns on again?

  Try to update of Itune, update got stuck, I turned to the computer off, impossible to restart... the indicator stops about 2/3 of the way and the computer shuts down again...

  Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help.

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

• Satellite A300-1EC cannot load the OS and restart just /shuts down

  Can you help me with my problem of A300 PSAG0Elaptop.

  This is the case:
  before that I can still use my laptop normally without plugging the power cord but when plug the source ca the unit restarts all of a sudden. I charge the battery only when the unit is off. And now the worst case gets when I installed the recovery disk hoping would solve the problem. I can no longer load the operating system; It's just loading then it does not load and suddenly shuts down and sometimes simply frozen. I have not tried the safe mode, mode ahci, system recovery, system repair, and stil no chance.
  I brought this already at the center of ASP service and they demanded almost 1 unit brand new laptop for repair of my laptop is not advisable to send them to repair.
  I doubt that my system bios is not compatible with my vista Home premium OS, or perhaps my wife update of the bios that is not compatible in windows update. My current bios I checked is 1.4

  Given that I have no option instead of junking my laptop, I want to update or back to the original settings of the bios that can help to repair my device.
  Can you help me on how to update or revert to the original my system bios? As I can't access the windows can you teach me step by step using the usb port of my camera on system bios update? Or do you have any suggestions?

  Need help bad
  Here are the specs of my unit

  Hey Buddy,

  First of all, the BIOS can only be updated Windows System. There is no other version that you can download on the site Web of Toshiba.

  But I doubt that this problem is caused by the BIOS. It s I knew not that it is possible to change certain values which make impossible Windows installation. With other words BIOS is secure and with all the settings, it should be possible to install Windows.
  An alternative you can press F9 in BIOS to load the default settings. That would be the best option.

  But according to your assignment, if Windows installation of recovery disc doesn t work and you are not able to charge the battery while the laptop is turned on it seems to be a hardware malfunction because seriously it has nothing to do with the software.

  So either come you into contact with the ASP to get the repaired device or you can repair yourself with original spare parts with parts ASP or second-hand on eBay or similar platforms.
  Of course, you can buy a new laptop: in case the motherboard would be defective because the motherboard is very expensive spare part, it would be the best choice in my opinion.

  Response from Neil Clark

   

  Hi K - Ann,

  Thank you for the above information.

  I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.
  
  So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

  Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

  Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

  Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

  I look forward to receiving your response.

  Thank you

  Neil Clark.

  Hi NeilRClark,

  When a registry key is blocked from change, the user can also run a. Registry Registry REG entries to merge the registry keys, values or the value in the system registry data, with the following permission denied error message:

  Cannot import RegistrationEntries.reg. Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

  To solve this problem, the ownership and grant full control (read and write) permissions and rights on the protected system registry key.

• Because the computer may not shut down properly the recovery fails on HP G60-519WM

  1.) product name and number: HP G60-519WM

  (2.) operating system installed: Windows 7 64-bit

  (3.) error message:

  Impossible to restart the computer

  Windows cannot restart the computer in the

  To complete Windows recovery environment the

  recovery operation.

  4.) all changes to your system until the problem was happening:

  I think I have a type of malware or something because my computer started running slower and I continue to be redirected to Web sites randomly when I use Google or Bing.  Records on the right side of my Start menu as 'Computer' and 'My Documents' disappeared.  I also get this an update for Windows live which stops at 57%.

  Problem:

  There is no restore point on my computer if I want to perform a system recovery back to the image of the manufactuer.  I downloaded the USB recovery Flash Disk Utility for my model.  Now I want to recover my computer via USB, but when I run the advanced recovery mode he's trying to restart my computer.  Given that my computer will not shut down properly, I end up having to press the power button until it stops my computer and the recovery does not continue when I start my computer again.

  I tried to use F11, but then I just end up on a screen that says either press on enter to choose to continue with Windows 7, press tab to move to the bottom of the list or press ESC for more options.  I tried all three and they eventually freeze the screen and keys are starting to make a Summit high-pitched beep when I try to press one, so I end up having to force my laptop to stop.

  I also tried to make recovery by pressing F8 and then choosing the "repair your computer option.  Which causes my computer screen go black, and I end up having to force it to close again.

  Is it possible to restore my computer to factory settings?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi, Jes:

  Yes, it would be the battery.  The relatively heavy bar that is normally removed retainers of slide.

  From what you described, I am afraid that your PC needs a lot of work (probably a bad motherboard), and you'd be much better to buy a new laptop or refurbished, than to pay a lot of money to fix yours.

  I guess you would have to pay more than $200 for repair.

  I'm sorry this is probably not what you wanted to hear.

  Best regards

• My computer won't shut down or restart

  There was an update of the systems, and after that I installed it my computer is unable to shut down or restart. I have to hit the power button to get it to turn off. When I close all the way down he does is get rid of the toolbar and icon of my office leaving me just my wallpaper. Now, I have an update that requires a restart. What should I do?

  Outdated software for a Tablet Wacom can prevent the closing. If you no longer use the device, please remove the software. Otherwise, update the latest version of the Web site of the manufacturer.

  After following the instructions on the removal link above, you may also need to open the users and groups in system preferences, select the login items tab and remove all Wacom related items. It is because the uninstall program is defective.

  Back up all data before making any changes.

• MacBook Air 5.2 not shut down or restart.

  Hello.

  My MacBook Air 13' with OS 10.11.5 won't close (or restart) - usually. I have had this problem since Yosemite, but don't remember exactly under what version it began.

  To be more precise: current stop, all icons disappear (as usual), but the image of the Office remains active. I can always start other programs is Finder that is affected. Trying to Force Quit Finder does not help. Repeatedly (say 99 / 100 to give a number) it closed normally, but nothing in fact different... Judge without plugging anything if there's a device problem. Saute all automatic connect points. Cleaned cache and preference files dead (using Cocktail).

  What is a way I can follow the Shut Down procedure to see where it falls? Activity monitor?

  Thanks for all advice :-)

  Found the solution in an another tread with (almost) the same Air. Uninstalling the Wacom driver (in my case using AppCleaner) solved the problem. I wasn't the way of editing, since the latest driver for my bamboo tablet was the same version I had installed... (5.3.6-6). maybe a new installation works, but for now, I'm better of without the tablet. Thanks to click!

  Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

  As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

  Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

  After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.

• iMac won't restart or shut down after having been 10.11.5

  He said title. My iMac was fine before the update came through yesterday. I went to reboot tonight because the RAM used was realllllly high and I thought a solid reboot after update from yesterday could be a good thing (don't ask why - just my logic)... and surprise! -He has authorized the menu bar and leave viewfinder, but would not closed at all. I could always use the dock to load and use applications. I saw another thread that mentions deleting stuff from Wacom. I went and emptied all of my items found from Wacom. Still will not be closed. I have reset several times VRAM. I can do a forced shutdown, and he'll sleep ok. Activity monitor shows nothing super weird, even if it always shows Wacom and Tablet drivers running.

  Anyone else running into this? Or have an idea?

  Please?
