    If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  • Had to do a restoration complete my xp machine and will not update, in the past, system automatically updated with cartridges of siema etc service?

    Had to do a restoration complete my xp machine and will not update, in the past, system automatically updated with cartridges of siema etc service?

    What is happening, it is that it is so more the possibility of a user friendly hands on automatic update of Windows XP from a clean install.  Windows Update will NOT synchronize with and updated in the current order status to update a machine with a clean install of XP, but you separately download some patches and intermediate updates and apply them manually, to have a machine that connects a bit normally with Windows Update.

    Install the last update cumulative security for the version of Internet Explorer you have currently is essential, and you need to download separately and install it before going any further.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2888505

    Scroll to the information file for XP and Server 2003

    Download the file corresponding to your version of Internet Explorer and install first.

    It is also highly recommended that you install Firefox because IE8 is limited, probably compromised and sometimes useless and will crash on many sites, including Microsoft sites, including linked just above.

  • The latest XP update has been installed. Machine will not start now. How should I do?

    Thank you

    From the F8 Advanced Boot Options menu, were you unable to choose:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Your system sounds like it restarts to determine what he complains and then someone can help you to repair.

    This is why there is a disable automatic restart on system failure option...

    There is another option in the menu F8 Advance Startup Options:

    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)

    I do not think that this will help you, but you can at least say you tried it if someone suggests.

    MS products generally work as expected, but may not perform as desired or expected.  You can push that dog and make good the bark.

  • Convert physical PC-> virtual machine will not cancel the mouse capture

    Currently using VMWare workstation 8.05 on Win7 x 64.

    I am using since VMware workstation on version 6 with a few problems. All my machines have been created in workstation (installation of the OS, etc.).

    A few months ago, I had an another XP x 32 box which had a POWER failure, and I always wanted to virtualize this area anyway, so I hooked up a spare PSU and stand-alone client to vCenter Converter to convert. Unlike all my other VMs, that seamless capture and cancel the capture of the mouse, this virtual machine will come out only the mouse using Ctrl-Alt, otherwise the mouse stops at the border of the screen.

    I messed with the settings of the virtual machine (although nothing has really made a difference). I have set the floppy drive to automatically detect, I installed VMWare keyboard extended (or whatever it's called) and uninstalled the mouse drivers that were on the machine (did not find records containing these drivers, just them uninstalled from properies of mouse window).

    I would really, really like to get this virtual machine works like the others, as I use it often and my productivity would go up if I didn't have to do deal with this mouse cancel the capture of question.

    Thanks for any help!

    Keith

    Since the Department of totally random ideas: your converted VM by chance he mouse "pointer trails" enabled?  If so, try disabling this option.  We had some users report that the activation of this option somehow the cause of the problem you are experiencing.  Thanks to rob_oli to describe this solution (and providing a screenshot too) in this post.

  • Yet CS4 will not go into the creation of Blu - ray mode

    CS4 running on an HP Z800 with an operating system of Windows 7. I am setting up my first Blu - ray project. The encoding of the chronology went well. When you go in, however, trouble begins. After you have filled the new project screen (title, Blu - ray, 1280 x 720, MPEG-2, 59,94 frames per second) the project window opens. Everything in the project window is still scheduled for a SD DVD. I have change the burner for the Blu - ray burner selection and then select Blu - ray. At this point, the small circular blue indicator starts to turn... and continues to do so. I let it go as long as five minutes and nothing changes. Then I go into the Task Manager and the entire computer seizes up, making me have to stop manually. What happens and why still will not go in the design view of Blu - ray?

    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not display on the screen even though with Process Explorer, I see active Firefox.exe but no CPU usage

    I use Firefox as default browser v10.0.2 on Dell XPS8300 Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 IO IO Intel Core i3 and Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (approximately 90% of attempts) that Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display on the screen when I click the icon. Cannot display other programs when it happens. I expressly say display because I believe that Firefox has started. To work around the problem, I installed Process Explorer on both machines and launch this program first, then click on the Firefox icon. When the problem occurs I see process Firefox.exe in the list of processes; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on the Firefox icon, yet another process opens in the list of processes, but with the same answer - some consumed CPU and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the process from the 1st, the 2nd poster and then everything is normal. If I do not open it treat a 2nd, but kill the 1st process then click the Firefox Firefox is displayed and all then is normal. This problem has occurred since the original on the two new machines installation. I have updated the video drivers on both computers.

    OK, let's see if we can solve this problem and make it work for you!

    First of all, if you start Firefox in safe mode (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key) it starts more reliable? This is usually caused by a defective module. If this does not help, then restart Firefox, go to the Firefox, then add-ons button and disable your extensions one by one until you find the troublemaker.

    Also, try to update to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.

    Just as a few troubleshooting steps base to ensure that we have all the bases covered,
    Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

    Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

    Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.

  • E260 will not go past the opening screen

    I got my 260 E for about a year and later that yesterday I went to turn it on, but it remains on the logon screen. Enter mode 'sleep', but I can't listen to music or find out anything because it will not go beyond the opening screen. The second of 10-15 soft reset I tried a hundred times, but it does not work.

    If remove/insert the battery did not work, the next step would be to format the drive.  You can also try to update the firmware.  I hope that you have a model v1.  What does say on the back of the drive?  Do you see a blue Sansa logo on the splash screen?  If so, you have a model v2 with no recovery mode.

    Assuming you have a v1 with the recovery mode:

    1. Turn off the player.
    2. Slide the key lock (to headphone jack).
    3. Press and hold the RECORD when connecting to the PC.
    4. Output RECORD when the "Welcome to recovery mode" message on the LCD s drive.
    5. Open my computer/Windows explore and see if you can find a new "16 MB - FORMAT" labeled removable flash drive
    6. Right-click on 16 MB-FORMAT and select new folder.
    7. Name the new folder "sansa.fmt" (without the quotes).
    8. Use the remove safely icon in the system tray.
    9. HOLD reset in the unlocked position.
    10. Disconnect the player from the PC.

    The player must, by seeing the folder sansa.fmt in the root directory of the drive, proceed to format itself.  Pay attention to any error/success message see you.  If all goes well, it will tell the full format and then to restart.

    DO NOT TRY TO FORMAT THE VOLUME 16 MB-FORMAT!

    If the format does not work, the next step is to try to update the firmware.  Go to the correct sticky message and download the firmware for your region .24A (assuming that he is a player of v1).  Drag and drop the embedded .mi4 and ROM files of archive of the firmware in the root directory of the 16 MB-FORMAT drive.  Make sure that the files end up in the root directory and not in a subdirectory.  Unplug and restart the player as before.

  • My Apple Watch will not charge on the charger.  I cleaned the back of the watch and the charger.  Any ideas?

    My Apple Watch will not charge on the charger.  I tried to clean the back of the watch and the charger more used several points of sale, but in vain.  Any ideas?

    Hello

    When you reload your watch, check that:

    • All the plastic film was removed from both ends and both sides of the cable support (consult closely on the head of the charger).

    • On the back of your watch and the head of the charge cable are clean and dry (clean with an abrasive, lint cloth).
    • The head of the load is properly aligned with the back of the watch, with the concave side / curve touch fully:
      • Some docks of watch, brackets, cases or protectors might hinder it.
    • You use a real Apple magnetic Charging Cable or a certified Apple module magnetic charge.
    • If you reload your watch by plugging into a power outlet:
      • Check that the magnetic charge cable Apple USB connector is fully engaged in the USB power adapter.
      • Try to use different maps of the following:
        • The real Apple USB Power Adapter that came with the watch, or;
        • A true 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB power adapter, or;
        • A third-party certified 5W (MFi) Apple USB power adapter.
      • Try to charge via a USB port (see following).
    • If loading via a USB port on a computer, make sure that you use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the computer remains turned on and awake, and the cable is plugged directly into the computer (not on, for example, an external keyboard).
    • If your battery is very low, you may need to wait a few minutes for the green lightning appear (confirming that the charge has started).

    Once the load has started, you can tap on the screen at any time to check the progress (leave a few minutes at the beginning, where the watch is in charge of a very low battery level). A green lightning bolt symbol indicates that your watch is being loaded. It is normal the screen back to sleep while continuous load.
