  Hi guys,.

  just thouth I would ask why my new laptop will not install XP.
  Only, it crashes during installation. No n' achete purchased on this occasion, had no operating system installed.

  I wonder if it's a driver problem, using my xp disc I bought, but like I said that just, it will hang during installation.
  What I need to intergrate drivers somehow?
  I'm guessing that this is the problem?

  If so, how do I?

  see you soon

  I really wonder that your new laptop is probably produced about 5 years ago. ;)

  In any case, to install WXP use WindowsXP SP1 installations CD (factory settings). If you want to discuss a little more please explain to us what exactly is happening.

• W500 freezes during hibernation and standby

  I have a W500 with XP Pro. Not so long ago, it started to freeze during hibernation and the day before.

  Any ideas? Thank you!

  It seems to be ok now.

  Thank you all for the replies!

• During Hibernation battery drain

  Battery of my PC laptop Lenovo X61s (Vista Business) drains approximately 5-8% during hibernation (about 8 hours).

  Lenovo has confirmed the battery drain and sent me a patch. However, he has not recently, after some Vista/Lenovo updates.

  When I bought the PC, the battery drain did not. The problem appeared after some Vista/Lenovo updates. The only workarounds are:

  1. remove the battery for a brief second and reattach.
  2. remove the AC adapter before hibernation.
  3. use Shutdown instead of Hibernation.
  4. do not install updates/patches after complete reinstallation of Vista.

  The battery drain issue seems to affect other Lenovo, Dell and other brands as models. I think the problem has to do with Vista and all the patches. Does anyone have a solution?

  Hi all

  battery drain can be caused by a number of reasons. Most of them is meant to be like this (ability to Wake-on-lan, wake-up regular tasks, hybrid sleep, etc.). Others are "bugs", they are not supposed to use the power during hibernation. Trying to eliminate battery drain, ALL possible factors must be addressed, otherwise drain may still be the case.

  If there is no flow during hibernation on battery power or hibernation and briefly put (and re-insertion) the battery later, the High Definition Audio Controller is most likely the culprit. Applying the fix mentioned above should solve the problem.

  If there are brains, then you must look in all other possible causes first. The High Definition Audio Controller can still be selected feeding when hibernation while that looted and do not remove the battery by the suite, but you will be only once all other causes have been eliminated (and at least one will be the case). In rare cases, a bad battery will be the reason.

  Please see the following thread and those related to it in order to check most of the other causes of energy during hibernation:

• Clean Windows 7 install hangs during expanding windows files

  well, so that's what I've done so far, I have downloaded the kit of the student digital river, I originally ran Windows xp 32-bit, so when I ran first the exe download, it gave me the error of not being able to record in a single folder to read and what not, but I followed the suggestions on the forums to move forward a burn on a startup disk expandedsetup folder in converting it to an iso, which I did, I installed the first time but missed the option to format my hard drive so my old files were still there, however, once got installed win 7 I wasn't able to connect to internet for some strange reason and I couldn't understand it, so I decided to take the 3 files I downloaded originally from digital river and try their unpacking on the 64 bit OS now I had installed, it worked fine this time without any errors, so I moved the folder expandedsetup to my laptop and he burned them on a dvd as before, this time I boot from the dvd and do a clean install, it installs again very well, but once I login in the OS and I am getting started with things once again everything is grinding the long, I tried to restart and it does not work, this time it froze just a black before the paper screen, so once more, I started from the dvd and tried to do a clean install, but this time, he begins to hang during the part of expanding windows files, so I decide to make another disc using the second expandedsetup folder thinking that perhaps a new one was a bad burn, this does not work either, it takes about 14% of full on the extension of the windows files and then he told me that the files is not found, so I tried the second drive once again, we only got 4% until it gives me error on files is not found , so I put the first early in and try and suspension 4% right now and I expect to give me the same error, I have really no idea of happening, there are too many variables, but I tried to evaluate each of them, would be - this related material? my computer is compatible for win 7 64 bit, I ran the Upgrade Advisor before you buy, so I know that my hardware can run it, I think it's my dvd drive or the hard drive, but they both seem to run fine otherwise, any help would be appreciated

  Hello Impoc,

  Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  ·     Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

  ·     Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  ·     If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

  ·     There is a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and to identify the necessary repairs. Don't forget to disable the antivirus before you start the installation again.

  Also, it is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  1. wait 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

  2. If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

  3. If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary hardware. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows 7.

  If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer or retailer to check if the computer is compatible with Windows 7.

  Also check out the link below to learn more about solving Windows installation problems:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-Windows-installation-problems

  Note: This article is related to Windows Vista. However, you can follow the same steps with Windows 7.

  If the installation fails after following the steps above, try to note the exact error message and provide the same.

  It will be useful.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Firefox does not open. Hangs during 'connection '. Inadmissible even in the process of closing via the Task Manager.

  Yesterday, Firefox does not open. It hangs at the "stage of connection." For hours. It doesn't even turn off using the Manager of tasks for applications or processes, and it hangs almost all other applications. I thought that I managed to save a Word document opened yesterday - it looked like a slow, but normal save during the shot of Firefox, but the document was empty when I restarted my computer.

  Although my machine is not pentium 4 in service, I tried to start by using the configuration of Windows XP/M, I downloaded and re-installed (above) the existing version, I checked that no process of Mozilla turned before trying to start Mozilla and tried to create a new profile. Absolutely no success. Every time (dozens), I tried to start Firefox, I had to force a difficult to exit the application shutdown. I now have this marking Firefox in my taskbar, because I keep forgetting and hit by reflex.

  I am running version 11.0 (at least that's what I just downloaded - I am not positive of what I was running yesterday). My system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i3 2.4 gHz, 4 GB of RAM, 64 bit OS.

  Next option is to restore to an earlier version. If this does not work, I uninstall and start again from scratch.

  I disabled AVG (antivirus free 2012) for 10 minutes, open Firefox and browsed a bit. Close the browser, whereas the temporarily disabled AVG activated itself again and restarted Firefox. Now, it connects perfectly - several times faster than prior to this incident (I have installed v 12.0; previous version was 11.0). I use the Microsoft Firewall, if while the firewall solution suggested above has not worked, he put me on the right track.

• Computer hangs during the transfer of 16 jpeg files.

  Recently, I replaced my Toshiba Satellite M40 PATA hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP SP3.  Subsequently, I find transfer more than 16 jpeg files (approx. 1 MB each) at the same time causes the computer freezes.  I have to shut down the computer and restart and sometimes the computer is 'always' Hung/frozen after restarting Windows (mouse move no keys, ctrl + alt + delete work does produce no action) which necessitated my stop down and restart the computer again.

  This problem occurs during various methods of transfer-to transfer pictures from my card SD using the scanner and camera or Nikon transfer software, trying to copy and paste pictures from the SD in an empty folder, and the problem occurs even when I try to spend more than 16 images from a folder in another.  I tried to transfer images from a folder with the computer in safe mode and the problem occurs when I try to transfer a little more than 16 images at once.  (my SD card, has about 60 images on that.)  There is no error message or any other message - the computer simply crashes.

  I did not have this problem before reinstalling XP.  There seems to be no limit to the size of the transfer that I could perform. I can't wait to find out how I can remedy this problem.  I am familiar with writing code, check the registry, etc, but I'm good enough following the simple procedures.  Thank you for your help.

  Original title: file transfer causes XP to hang, no error message

  Hi RobertMorouney,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  In addition, how are you doing today?

  You have a problem with the computer hung on the transfer of files on Windows XP. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this fixed number.

  Method 1-

• Blue screen error during hibernation

  Hey all.  I've looked through the forums and cannot find a solution to what I saw.  I have a home network that consists of my main office directly connected to my internet cable and two laptop computers HP connected by wifi.  My House has some dead spots, so I also have a wifi extender to cover the areas.  This configuration worked wonderfully for a few years.  A few days ago, I had my modem/router set to level of my ISP (Rogers cable - I live in the Canada).  Since this new modem/router has been installed two laptops connected via wifi constantly crushing when they go in the hibernation.  To clarify, two laptops put in standby mode after 15 minutes, then hibernate after 30 minutes.  During the previous day, everything works normally, however, when the minute 30 mark hits they both make this little thing where they light up for about 20 seconds to prepare mode put into hibernation, and then they will switch off.  Since the new modem/router has been installed when they light for 20 seconds to prepare for hibernation they freeze... two of them.  They remain in a frozen for about 10 minutes, then they are back the Blue error screen.  After reboot, I get the standard "your computer shut down unexpectedly" check for solutions box.  The solution calls for not knowing what the problem is exactly, but it has something to do with wireless networks.  Don't know what it could be that the ONLY thing that has changed in my house is the new and improved modem/router I got.  After looking through the forums I've done several options as: checked several times, the sfc/scannow memory, full system virus scans and rootkit scanning, update drivers, etc...  All checked like normal, functional and up-to-date.  At this point, I'm puzzled as to what it could be.  Again this happens BOTH my laptops wireless only when they are preparing to go into hibernation and connected (sleep works very well).  All the solutions and I've done analyses were performed on two laptops without success.  I'm including the error I get:

  PS I know that I can simply turn off hibernation and solve the problem... I am trying to solve the problem, so I can keep hibernate on and have everything works perfectly as before.

• Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit hangs during antivirus and backup system analysis

  I have problems with my PC. Last night, before retiring for the night, I noticed that Microsoft Security Essentials icon is yellow and warning me that my computer was in danger and had not been scanned for viruses for awhile. Normally it is set to run automatically on a schedule, but it does not work if my computer is set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity (which is because I want to save energy). So I have to manually run the virus scan. I have it set to run a FULL scan and then went to bed. In the morning, I noticed that my computer has been completely closed. It would normally be asleep and she simply by moving my mouse wake up. I had to hit the power button on my PC to start upward. The warning message that Windows did not close properly displayed and gave me the boot options. I just booted normally. As the virus scan has been the last thing my computer did the night before, I decided to try to run a FULL scan again. It crashed my PC. I started again and tried a QUICK analysis, which worked well. I searched "Microsoft Security Essentials plant system" and found a recent instance with someone else, and after more detailed diagnosis, they determined that it was probably a failing hard drive or a bad memory. The recommendation was immediately back up their system of hard drive and replace it.

  Before you run any Diagnostics to determine my culprit, I decided to start a backup system just to be safe. I ran Windows Backup and choose "Create a system image" and he has done on an external hard drive on a USB3 docking station. He got about 90% through the backup, then my system crashed. No error message, just a full stop.

  Unfortunately, a not save the link to the original set of instructions to diagnose why the system crashed during the anti-virus scan.

  Now I ask... What can I do to save my system if it crashes my computer?

  Hi Greg,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the system hangs when a complete analysis of how MSE or backup system and I'll be happy to answer your query. This could be due to MSE not updated and that's why he showed the yellow icon. We will try the following methods and check.

• Win 7 hangs during initial installation, asking drivers...

  I'm trying to do a full, clean install on a new generation of PC desktop.  The following are new & just bought today:
  OS: Brand new retail Windows7 Ultimate (not the version of upgrade)
  Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Deluxe (Intel P45 chipset)
  HARD drive: Western Digital (literally brand new, out of the box... never been used or put in shape)

  The problem that I must sound familiar... initial installation block asking drivers (insert the CD/DVD or a USB device with missing drivers).

  -J' have already been on the site of Asus and downloaded the latest drivers SATA Win7 and Intel.
  -None of the pilots comes to me to get past this problem.
  -The BIOS is the last
  -I try not to use RAID functions
  -SATA is set to "AHCI" in the BIOS Setup... another choice is "IDE" with submenus of "Compatible" & "Improved"... the result is the same in all settings.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm currently dead in the water and have dropped more than $1000 & spent more than 7 hours of my time to this today.

  OK, so a couple of things here...

  First of all, thanks to Aziz to try to answer my question, but I respectfully hope that in the future you would read posts more carefully before you answer...

  You wrote:
  - "Try changing the SATA drive to IDE in BIOS and try installing Windows 7"
  .. When in my original post, I said:
  - "SATA is set to"AHCI"in the BIOS Setup... another choice is"IDE"with submenus of"Compatible"&"Enhanced"... the result is the same in all settings ." ".

  You also then have detailed a series of steps that could only be applied if the operating system has been installed & Starter.  I think it should be clear in my description of the problem that I was not able to get anywhere near that far...
  ".. .initial install hangs, asking drivers (insert the CD/DVD or a USB device with missing drivers) ." »

  In the end, I was able to get things to work & I wanted to share my solution for those who can be useful...  For some reason, the "clean install" (NOT an upgrade) Win7 process would literally see my IDE DVD drive during the first installation process.  Obviously, BIOS could see the DVD player, as he was able to Start from the DVD drive... but during the initial installation, it seems that the DVD player simply ceased to be accessible.  Even now, I'm not sure if this was due to some kind of motherboard problem, or maybe a compatibility problem between Windows 7 and my DVD player specific or whatever... the main cause remains a mystery.  I tried all settings possible jumpers on the drive itself (master, slave, cable select, no rider in all, etc)... all to nothing does not.  It is / was not a disk of old, obsolete... it was purchased last year.  I remain puzzled about what has increased.

  Anyway, I knew that the problem was somehow linked to access to the DVD player, I decided to try a SATA DVD drive rather than I had been using the IDE hard drive.  So, I bought a new SATA DVD drive to install in my machine, and finally everything worked well.  Again, I don't know always with certainty what the problem was.  It is possible that I could have bought another IDE DVD drive & tried that instead... that may have worked also, but since I didn't try it, I can't be sure.

  Good luck to other similar questions & I hope this helps.

• Computer hangs during playback of streaming online videos

  Dear friends,

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, Core i3, OS Windows Ultimate 64 bit processor.

  I have a weird problem for two days. Instantly, my computer hangs when I play a video (like YouTube) online on any browser elsewhere (IE/Firefox, Chrome). And sometimes only the parts sound without the video, but that is only for a moment before it crashes.

  I tried most of the common fixes as updated drivers, video card, reinstall Adobe Flash Player, uninstall applications useless, but nothing worked so far.

  I'm really frustrated by this and can not think of a solution. Please help me with this. Thank you for your time.

  Kind regards

  Hello Syed_Asif

  Try these steps and check if the YouTube video freezes between steps, so we can say that it has helped solve the problem.

  Step 1:
  I understand that you have updated your drivers, but I suggest you go to Device Manager, located in your video card. Uninstall the driver, download the latest version of the driver and reinstall it.

  Step 2:
  Clear your "cache" of all the 'temporary internet files', 'cookies '.
  and 'history '. If you are using Internet Explorer, perform the following steps:

  The KB Article ID: 260897 - How to remove the content of the Internet temporary files folder
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/260897

  Step 3:
  Run SFC/scannow to see if you have corrupted system files.
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Restart your system

  Step 4:

  Run the chkdsk command: (you can do this step at night because depending on the size of your drive, it may take some time to complete.
  1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
  4. check your hard disk for errors:
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Step 5:
  Defragment you the system
  To defragment your hard drive

  1. Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the start . In the search box, type and then Disk Defragmenter in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.

  2. Under the current state, select the disk to defragment.

  3. To determine whether the disk should be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of disk fragmentation in the column was last run. If the number is greater than 10%, you must defragment the drive.

  4. Click on defragment disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Disk Defragmenter may take a few minutes to a few hours at the end, depending on the size and the degree of fragmentation of your hard drive. You can still use your computer during the defragmentation process.

  Let us know if the measures have contributed to your question.

• After that Conversion XP hangs during Activation

  I really hope someone is able to help. I will try to be as complete as possible in my explanation.

  Here's the scenario. I have a Dell laptop with a version of XP OEM. I want to turn this into a Virtual Machine, then install Windows 7 on the laptop, then run the virtual machine of 7. However, I don't want the XP configuration to change (the name of the computer and domain).

  First of all, I made the conversion (which took an act of Congress to complete with success). Then, I needed to install the AHCI drivers. So I used my OEM drive and a floppy disk with the driver, I needed and did a repair install. And never during the installation of repair done I prompted for a product key.

  Can I move my VM to a separate computer (a Dell server). Windows starts. I type my password to connect and it pushes me with, you must activate this copy of Windows. You want to do now? If I'm not saying it disconnects me. If I say yes, the popup box goes away, and I find myself looking at my paper painted. I leave like that all night and nothing ever seems to happen.

  The reason why I moved the virtual computer on the server is to avoid duplicate names on the network. I also checked the server network connectivity and it is fine. The virtual machine shows that the virtual NETWORK card is filled, but I don't really have a way to verify connectivity.

  I know that the OEM product key is a violation, but I intend on editing a volume license as soon as I have the chance. I tried to use the SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE" to see if that would let me connect but it still prompts for activation (I expected that since it is on the server and not the laptop).

  So my question is, what is the origin of XP to hang? From what I have read I think that the product activation window is supposed to happen is let me activation online or tell me to call, but I never get it.

  Is there one solution other than to change the product key from the laptop to a volume license and then conversion?

  Thanks in advance!

  because the installation media for OEM and VLK is different, the only way that I usually do is to perform a "repair installation" using the Volume License CD and the product key

• Firefox 38 update hangs during the rsyslog config on LinuxMint 17.1 cinnamon?

  Hello
