• VI refuses to run when the published network shared variable is not available

  I have a VI of logging data on my PC that gathers data from several sources, including several shared variable published network hosted on an RT target.

  The problem I have is that the data logger VI refuses to start if the target RT is disabled and the VI is abandoned if the network connection is interrupted.

  Is there an easy way to detect when running, be published these variable network are available and use a placeholder value, if they are not rather than the current behavior of refusing to work?

  I saw many people using data sockets, but I try to avoid the overhead of setting up and testing a loop of treatment relatively complex network on both ends when the network has published shared variables are so simple to use and works perfectly as this abnormal behavior.

  You can replace them with programmatic access (shared variable aperture and friends) and the dummy data placeholders if the variable is not accessible.

• CHKDSK insists on running EVERY time my children system starts

  It bypasses the scan & it seems to work ok.  I can't accept that as a 'solution', so I tried to run in a command prompt "chkdsk /f /r C:" which tells me that the drive is locked I want to perform the scan at the next reboot, I type 'Y' and press ENTER, exit cmd Watson manually restart the system.  During the phase 1 of 5, system hangs at 46%, stay there for a few minutes, then restarts and repeats the process until I have run out of the room screaming, swearing and pulling on my hair.  PLEASE ADVISE!

• Win XP SP3 refuses to run vbs files. Will not let me run scipten, said systems on-board version is most recent

  version 5.1 build 260.xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209 - 1647: Service Pack 3

  When I double click on the VSB icon on the desktop, I can view the VBS file.  It simply does not work.  If I ask to find an app on the web, it comes back with File.Org page meaningless that said: it has all of the information (based on my experience, this site NEVER actually helps!).

  I tried to install WHS, but software refused to install, saying that what I have is newer.

  This becomes very confused!

  Hello

  Your Windows XP question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited to the audience of developers in the MSDN forum. Please post your question in the Visual Basic Forum. You can follow the link to your question:

• Vista refuses to run critical applications

  I am in a bit of an impasse, after being given Vista laptop from my brother and asked to try to fix a problem of bluetooth connectivity.  I asked him if his windows is up to date, and he said he turned it on autoupdate.  However, I see the angle icon indicating that the windows updates are available.

  This is the root of my problem.  Try as I might to open windows update, it will not work.  The best I have is a blank window that flashes open and closes immediately.  Why this occurs, no error message, there is no indication of windows.  The same thing happens with several other applications, such as the application of the system in the control panel and the Properties window for the c: drive.

  The computer is 2 months old and supposedly only installed external programs are mozilla and a single match.  I am at a loss as to why these applications are not really open.

  Hi Prydefalcn

  I'm sorry to have to think about it, but you will have to perhaps save your data, and then use the recovery CD

• Windows xp Pro chkdsk keeps running over and over again at the start and...

  Running the scan and says no errors found and windows has finished checking the disk and then rest on this screen. I'm unable to boot in a mode, including 3 Safe Mode options. Please help me to help my friend with this problem on his Dell PC.

  Before this error occurring, we run a defragmentation and planned Windows to check the drive for errors.

  Cannot start in safe mode as lists of lines of code system32, then freezes.

  Many Retarts have not helped.

  We have not cahnged anything using F2 or F12 to change Boot & startup menus.

  When XP restarts, it checks the "dirty bit" on each volume (hard disk) to see if a chkdsk needs to be run on the volumes.

  The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if you had a power failure or may have used the power button, had an aborted restart or an abnormal termination.    The only way to clear the bit of impurity on a volume is successfully running chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r).

  If you have a regular chkdsk in the meantime, he'll also want to run when you restart the system.

  When you start in Safe Mode, if one of these conditions are met, XP run the chkdsk command, and during this time, your system will be appear to be stuck, frozen or appear to hang with the last thing on your screen being loading mup.sys - shortly after charges mup.sys is when the chkdsk will start running and the system seems to be stuck.

  This suggests that their system is hung on mup.sys when he's really hung at all - chkdsk runs is because it takes or they old to many people is by planning the chkdsk at the next reboot.

  I don't know what AVG load and will not install AVG to know.

  If your system seems to stop mode without failure and the last thing you see on the screen is mup.sys (or in your case of the stuff AVG), look at the HARD drive access light.

  If the HARD drive is flashing, chances are good that the chkdsk command runs either because it takes or it, you have planned.  In this case, you will need to wait outside and if you use the power button, you could make things worse.

  You will need to wait outside and this could take some time depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.

  I think that I start your system in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there, so that you can actually see race and what he has to say.  If that chkdsk /r works own (it might take more than one pass), which erases the volume dirty bit.  It will not relieve your a regular chkdsk system, but I would start there.

• How can I run CHKDSK /F on a blue screen on Windows XP? I can not at all to a command prompt.

  I accidentally shut down my computer for an update.  Now I can only get a blue screen with a message saying that a problem has been detected and I need to disable or uninstall any anti-virus, backup utilities or disk defragmentation.  He told me to check my hard drive configuration and to search for updated drivers.  Then it is said to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  The technical information is: 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190203, 0x8638c6c8, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000).  I can't run Windows in safe mode, I can't seem to run in its final configuration, nor can I get it to go to a command prompt - it just goes back to the blue screen.  I also tried to put in my XP disc that came with the computer, and it helps not at all either.

  Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers forum still does not prompt for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  I think I'm about to lose hope on this fantastic.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  It's normal.  You can not run a check disk on your system disk because your system is to use.  The Message you get should ask you if you want to run it at the next reboot.  You must answer 'Yes' to this message, and then restart your computer.  A disk check should take place as it is restarted.

  FYI: A check disk can take hours if you have a large drive or there are a lot of problems on the disc and you cannot use your machine while the scan is in progress.  Better to operate during the night.  Also, I got checkdsk completely erase the hard disk to the point where the only option was to reformat and reinstall Windows.  Make sure that your data available are well-supported before running Chkdsk.

  How can I stop CHKDSK utility to run every time that I turn on the computer?  I use Windows XP.

  No success with the two methods.

  Hi Markgod5,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  It seems that the hard drive is damaged if we get this error message to running chkdsk.

  You can start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and see if you can start.  Then run the chkdsk command.

  To do this follow these steps:

  (a) restart your computer if it is running.

  (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

  (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  (d) use the up/down arrow keys to select Safe mode with command prompt.

  (e) in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /R and Chkdsk /F

  Using recovery DVDs, you cannot switch mode winRE (Windows Recovery Environment) to run chkdsk. You need DVD full version (Win 7/Vista) or Vista repair disk.

  You probably won't be able to install win 7 because the problem is with the hard drive and chkdsk should be run for the error.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process

  My computer was working fine until last night. Now when I connect I get a blue screen saying that the computer shuts down to prevent further damage from happening. I tried to restore to an earlier point in time when my computer was working but then I get the error:

  The OS disk (C :) has errors.
  Windows has detected corruption on OS (C :) file system. You should check the drive for errors before you can restore it.

  So I'm going to run the chkdsk utility, and I get the error:
  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts.

  I'm confused because the chkdsk unility usually works, and I have no idea why she is being used by another process. I am clearly not very good with computers. I tend to do a lot of spywear and adwear on my computer. I have Spyware Doctor that removes any infection.

  Help, please. I've tried everything. Thank you.

  Asha22,
  It appears from your last post why chkdsk did not run on reboot and you gave an incorrect message is that you did not a space between the volume and the f number.  The correct syntax is:

  CHKDSK c: /f

  You can also run the utility disc in this way:
  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79C7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx

  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
   
  2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
   
  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
   
  4. click on start.
   
  Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will need to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  The reason that it says that the disk is in use by another process is because it is in use by the operating system (Vista), and that's why it must be run at startup, before the operating system loads fully.

  Another utility, you need to perform is the System File Checker, if you can get your computer to start, either normally or in Mode without failure.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Let us know what these tests are and how we can also provide assistance.

• Cannot run chkdsk under Vista or restart

  While Vista is on, volume is in use. Command prompt run as administrator, said volume in use - you want to run chkdsk on reboot - YES. However, chkdsk does not run after a reboot.

  Camden,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Most likely, there is a service or a process that prevents chkdsk from starting when the system restarts.  The best way to fix this is to go to a clean boot by disabling all unnecessary services and then allowing them one by one until the problem occurs. Then you will know what process or service is initially that he will not run.  Likely guilty would be the antivirus software or any third-party disk utilities.  Here's how to do a clean boot:

• Cannot run chkdsk in mode in Windows 7

  Well, it seems a bit odd, but these last weeks even if I try to run the "chkdsk/f/x c:" command in elevated mode it stops immediately after control of the type of volume as follows:

  «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
  Access denied as long as you have enough privileges.
  You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. »

  The high mode title bar displays command prompt "Administrator: command prompt" and executes the diskpart and sfc commands quite normally, but the only problem is running chkdsk with indicator repair.

  Even the GUI mode chkdsk option denies running chkdsk if repair is checked.

  Tried to Disable Symantec Endpoint 12.1 and Comodo Firewall, but the problem is the same.

  However, I never connected to built in Administrator profile, so today I am logged in as an administrator, windows has set up the office by creating a new profile and from there "chkdsk/f/x c:" works correctly.

  Even more, if I use the following command then also chkdsk runs successfully

  runas / user: computer\Administrator "chkdsk c: /f /x.

  Can you please give me a solution?
