Keyboard not responding after pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE

Original title: problem connecting windows xp

I am currently using windows xp sp2 and I have to lock my computer. There is this window that ask us to press "ctrl-alt-del" to unlock the computer. When I press on the computer does not respond. computer does not hang, the mouse moves, by pressing alphanumeric keys it is healthy. its currently connected to a kvm that controls 7 different pc. everything works fine except the other 2 having this problem too. Please tell us what to do.

If three of the computers connected to the kvm switch are having the same problems, but not the others, it seems that it could be the switch kvm itself. I suggest try to connect a keyboard to the computer directly, if it works, try to reconnect the switch, ensuring that all connectors are properly attached. You can also try to use another port of the switch, anyway - if it works with the keyboard connected directly to the computer - the problem is most likely the switch and not the computer/os.

  • my computer crashes, I press ctrl alt delete and it thaws

    original title: don't know what's wrong

    my computer crashes, I press ctrl alt delete and it thaws, this happens very often, he does not have it for weeks at a time and then it again. I'm a paint shop pro user, I uninstalled and reinstalled psp more 2 browsers, firefox and chrome. My main browser is lunascape which he doesn't seem to be a problem. On chrome when I click on a tab, it closes. I can't copy on firefox. It did not help. Also, when this problem is occurring, I can't drag and drop only cut and paste. This has happened for several months. Someone told me I have a memory leak, but do not know that for you, I was getting ready to reformat with a full system restore and that said person who would not help, but again, I am not sure it is. I ran the antivirus scans, nothing I don't know what to do. I use a dell inspiron 531.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Hello

    You try to install Windows XP on the computer?

    BootMGR is not part of Windows XP. This is the file of boot loader for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    Method 1:

    If you try to install Windows XP, you can go ahead and try to reinstall Windows XP from the CD and check if that helps.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

    Note: perform a clean install only if you have no data on the hard drive.

    Method 2:

  • Equium A100-549 - reading disc error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete to restart

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Equium a100-549, about 3 years, Windows XP Home Edition.
    Everything worked very well so far. When starting my computer, I received the message:

    A disk read error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete
    I don't want to lose my data

    Please please I need some advice what to do

    Kind regards
    AGM

    > I don't want to lose my data

    Well. Everyone knows that a HARD disk problem can happen and all of a sudden you may lose all the data stored on the HARD drive.
    That is why it s always recommended to backup the data on additional HDD, DVD, etc.

    I'm not sure if this will help but try this:
    Try to boot from the disk Win XP (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) and press r. means repair and should start the repair console.
    The similar DOS window should open and there, you can use a command:
    CHKDSK drive/p/r

    The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it.

    More details can be found here:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    If that does not help, then you need to reinstall new OS.
