    How to create the code lock for computer book notices

    Enter the BIOS, select the Security tab and set the power on password.

    I strongly recommend that you write the power on password and put somewhere safe. If you have forgotten the password turned on, you will find that you will need to send your laptop to be repaired by HP. This is not free of cost. Once a button inside the laptop password reset are over.

    Hello

    First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    As Windows automatically launches the Startup Repair tool there is a possibility that she cannot cross the whole scan problems.

    I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    1. Insert the installation disc.
    2. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    5. click on Repair your computer.
    6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
     
    Check out the link for more information below.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

    If startup repair does not resolve the issue then in the same way using the windows vista disc try to restore system until the day where computer was working fine.

    I hope this helps!

  • Now to lock the computer so nobody can use it.

    I have a teenager at home who wants to use my computer, when the answer is no. I am the only one using it now, so I created an administrator with a password account. I discovered that when that I log out of windows with the locking button everything was not OK. It is locked until you turn the unit off to restart then it starts as if there is no password protection. If only I disconnect again with the locking button, all is well until another reboot. Anyone can use it. She wanted to take the teenager looking forward to fig, it takes only a power off to get on my computer. That change for it to start so you need the password to continue? I'm not what you call a computer person, but I can follow directions. Thank you.

    Hi Enfieldrider,

    I suggest you try the procedure below.

    1. In the search box, type control userpasswords2, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Check the users must enter a user name and password to use this computer, and then click apply.
    3. In the automatically on Journal dialog box, type your password, and then click OK.
    4. In the user accounts dialog box, click OK.
    5. Restart the computer and check.

  • iMac G3 Tiger Installation "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    Hello

    I try to install Mac OS X Tiger on my iMac G3 slot loading 400mH. The system is compatible all I checked before installing. I was able to start on the first disc very well. It is installed properly, until he asked for disc 2. When I put in the disc, it turns a little, and then do absolutely nothing. It just sits there even ask for the disc. After having let it run all night, I decided that the only option was to hold the power button. When I turned the machine back on, it gave me the error "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. He then ejected the disc.

    What are my options?

    One thing I forgot to mention, is that I have created these disks under windows with a program called TransMac. It was the first program that I found which could create for Mac bootable discs. The fact that he created the first a perfectly fine leads me to believe that it is not my Windows and Mac computer. I could be completely wrong, and if so what is a better program. I am not of any other Mac other than the G3.

    Thanks in advance!

    Other specifications:

    iMac G3

    400mH

    256 GB RAM

    120 GB disk with Mac OS 9 and OS X Panther (I'm trying to update for Panther)

    Historically, the Mac have trouble starting from system disks burned. As you say, the first one worked, so you might be on the right track. Have you tried to make a new second drive from the same program? Maybe there is a media problem or an engraving error.

    The other problem could be the source of installation of Tiger. Apple has distributed never freely as each copy that you find on the internet - free or paid - are pirated and may even be compromised. It happened more than you think. There are a lot of reports of people for an OSX version here as an internet download and even pay for it, only to find that it works at all. I've seen downloads Mac OS offered for sale even on sites like eBay (I point out them).

    So this begs the following question - where did you Tiger?

    If we get that worked, we ned to continue what I have some experiences with Panther and Tiger on the iMac of the same model which can be useful

  • HP ENVY 700-059c: 10 Windows cannot set up a homegroup on this computer

    The message I get when I try to put in place a homegroup on this computer is "Windows cannot configure a homegroup on this computer". I tried everything that was suggested on troubleshooting of the forums that I searched the web on this problem but without success. I am trying to create a network with your computer and a Dell 64 bit of Windws 10 laptop.
    Two computers on the same workgroup and I can set up a homegroup on the Dell, but when I try to join the homegroup on the HP I get the same error message. It has been suggested that I have delete the Group residential Dell and put in place a new homegroup on the HP, but HP won't let me set up a new group of residential. Where am I wrong?

    As I said in my last post, I had no chance to get all of my network to the top, but after going through the fixes proposed by WAWood I realized that fixation on the establishment of a group residential wasn't getting me anywhere. I decided to search the web forums for a solution for the operation of "Peer Networking Grouping" of service, something I had not been able to do (strangely enough by clicking on the button 'Start' a billion times has absolutely nothing) since this mess began. Here are the procedures that seemed most likely to have success. First test was to change the registry using a suggestion of:

    http://www.tenforums.com/network-sharing/9691-computer-can-not-join-create-HomeGroup.html

    Modify the key to register IPv6 to enable IPV6
    ==========================
    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search bar and then click regedit in the list programs.
    Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    b. look for, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
    c. check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, move on the next steps.
    d. double-click "DisabledComponents" registry key and change the value to 0.
    (If the key does not exist, please create the above key and assign a value of 0)
    e. exit the registry editor and then restart the computer.

    So far no change. On the next dose of:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Win7/archive/2011/02/16/quot-peer-name-resolution-protocol-quot-service-could-not-be-started-and-HomeGroup-is-not-working.aspx

    1. from the high CMD prompt, type the following command:

    net stop p2pimsvc /y

    2 delete the following file:

    'C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst '.

    3. restart the computer.

    These two patches, apparently has not changed anything, but when I went back to Services and double clicked on grouping network of peers, and then clicked on the 'Connect' tab I found that the "Local System account" is selected and the box "Allow service to interact with desktop" was checked. Since I knew my many visits in this tab that it wasn't the way it was configured initially, I checked the properties of the service directly under it (Peer Networking Identity Manager) the tab 'Connect' showed that this account has been selected, and the term "Local Service" was in the right text box to the right of this account. In the two boxes just below this text box were two boxes labeled password and confirm password boxes contained 14 points. I decided it looked a lot like what I remember that the log on tab of the properties of "Peer Networking Grouping" dialog box has been initially configured. I returned to the journal of Peer Networking Grouping tab and made properties the following steps.

    Chose "This account" and deselect "Local System account".

    "Local Service" text typed into the text box next to "this account".

    Delete all the points in the 'Password' and 'Confirm password' boxes

    Clicked on apply

    Clicked on the tab general and click the button start (Yay he actually started)

    Restarted the computer

    From there on, I was able to set up a homegroup, and then I was able to reach him this homegroup on my laptop connected wireless and viola, I have a network.

    Thanks to WAWood for set me on the path to try to get the 'Peer Networking Grouping' service running as my ultimate goal.

  • "An older version of the MF drivers exist in this computer...". »

    I updated to Windows 7 to 10 yesterday.  My Canon MF4890dw did not allow the other side.  It is not listed under printers.  I suspect that the "unknown USB device" is my printer.

    I downloaded the latest driver from canon site.  When I went to install, I got the error message "an older version of the MF drivers exist in this computer.  Uninstall the old version of the MF drivers and then try to install again. "OK, so I went in the programs list and installed the driver of Canon and the Canon Toolbox.  Click right and removed (uninstalled)? the unknown USB device.  Disconnecting the USB cable.  Restarted.  Still had the same error message when I tried to install the new.

    So I tried my C: drive for anything with the word 'Canon' and 'MF48 '.  I deleted all files except what was in 'Récent' and what was 'C:\windows.old.  I want to be able to go back to Windows 7 if necessary.  Rebooted even.  But still I got the old driver error message.

    Find the file DelDrv.exe in the Canon stuff that I downloaded.  He ran.  He said "no target device has been found."

    Searched online forums for similar issues.  Impossible to find answers for my situation.  Can anyone help?  I try next?

    Oh, good grief.  Finally solved my problem.  Found the solution a way down in a Microsoft forum thread.

    Solution: (In the windows 10)

    Right-click on the Start button, select Control Panel

    Click on devices and printers

    Simple regular click on all the printers listed (I clicked on Microsoft Print to PDF)

    Near the top of the window, a little in from left to right, you will see the text "Print server properties", click on that. (It is a right of ways to add a device)

    In the new window, select the tab drivers

    In the list "installed printer drivers:" select all Canon MF... of one type names and click on delete one by one.

    From there, I took the option "remove driver and driver package" (who knows, maybe "Remove driver only." might have worked)

    In my view, the next window said something about after having collected the drivers, and I clicked on the Remove option.

    I got an error message "could not remove the cnxrpua6.inf package. Access is denied. "  That is why I wrote above that perhaps the option "remove driver only" might work better.  But the error does not matter since I was immediately able to install Canon drivers, that I had downloaded.  No reboot needed.

  • "the restrictions in effect on this computer".

    I get this message when I try to do things. I am attached to a domain and the user, as I log in as administrator permissions.

    However, there is no control panel in the start menu, and trying to access things in the status bar displays the message that the task has been stopped "due to restrictions in effect on this computer."  The only thing that I've been running since I pulled this out of the box yesterday's updated Windows.

    I know there is a problem, and it is not a virus.

    These kinds of settings can be controlled by domain group policy.  As an administrator, if you are lucky, you can restore these settings by using the Group Policy Editor, but if restrictions have been implemented in the domain group policy, they could be locked in (in which case need you "Secedit" to change things in offline mode - and even then the field can come back to them).

    To make changes with the Group Policy Editor:
    Start-> Run-> "gpedit.msc".
    Then go to:
    Configuration of the user-> models-> Board of Directors and
    Configuration-> administrative templates user-> Start Menu and taskbar
    Look at the settings and change them if you can.

    Other policies are there for inspection and change, but the foregoing applies to those who you have been complaining.
