MY COMPUTER GUARD LOCK UP TO 5 - 10 TIMES A DAY. LINES DIAGONALS IN A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS COLORFUL WHEN CELA SE PRODUCT.

My computer continues to be locked.  When this happens there are diagonal wavy lines (bottom left to top right) on screen.  This happens 5-10 times a day.  I have to press the button power 5-7 seconds to power off the coast.  The diagonal lines are different colors, with different colored backgrounds.  There is no consistency in the colors.  They range from red to orange to blue to white.  I'm ready to throw it off the roof!

Various colored lines are usually an indication of a problem either with your graphics drivers or a graphics card fault.

Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

If the above does not fix it: try changing the graphics card, if a desktop computer.

If a laptop computer, contact the manufacturer.

See you soon.

  • My computer guard direct me to the Windows Startup Repair loop. Is this a virus? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    OK, here's a little history:
    When was surfing the Internet (using Mozilla Firefox), he froze and said that he "did not." Then I left the computer alone for a good 15 minutes, but to realize that nothing happened. From there, I decided to disconnect the computer to see if I can re - open Firefox. But when I tried to connect it back, the computer take me on the desk. It was stuck at the screen that says 'Welcome' (the form that appears after clicking on your user name) in the end, I turned off the computer by holding the power button, because there was nothing I could do. When I turned on the computer a few minutes later, it was time that I met a huge problem.

    The problem:
    When I turned it back on, a black screen appears that gives you the ability to boot your system with a repair on your computer, or start normally. I chose "start normally. After that, it took me a blue screen with a window that says "Startup Repair". He began to scan the computer saying «attempted repairs...» "When I saw this, I turned immediately shut down the computer, thinking it was some sort of virus that pretends to fix the computer. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on for the second time. Of course, it's the same thing. But this time, I allow the scanning process to complete. When it was over, he said that the system could not be repaired and advised me to contact Microsoft, with my "contact information." I took this as a red flag, and click Cancel. I suspected it was an attempt to identity theft. (Though, I could be wrong, of course.)

    Honestly, I don't know if if there is indeed something wrong with the computer or if it's a virus.

    I tried to find out by going online and looking for solutions. From there, I tried a method where you press F8 several times until the Advanced Boot Options go up and selected "Last known Configuration" that did not work. I also heard on the "chkdsk" method, but I don't know how to do and there is no guarantee this will work.

    After that, I did more research and realized there were several ways to solve this problem. But when I went through the tutorials, the steps have been very confusing to me. I felt like most of these tutorials aimed computer technicians or people who knew in fixing computers. The steps were so confused until I found myself referring more questions than real answers!

    So now I'm reaching out to help, and I really need! It would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to format all my data.

    Please keep in mind that I am a lover of computers operating. The two programs I normally use are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Word. So please don't be assuming that I know my way in and out of a computer. I'm no where near, in every sense of the term, an 'Expert '. If you can, I would like a simple, easy to follow, simple tutorial, step by step, which is not turned to professional users. Still, I am not very competent in operating computers.

  • Satellite A200 - message "your computer is locked.

    First of all, I am a novice.

    Secondly, I have a message on my main screen after opening which reads "Your computer is locked" and I can't do anything with it. I have stopped with the help of the key, closed the lid, control Alt Delete, did all the usual things, but this screen remains! I am running Vista Home Premium. Any advice would be magical.
    Thanks in advance,
    JayneM

    Go into Windows and check the power settings in the Control Panel, it can be programmed to lock the screen or enter mode sleep when you close the lid.

    If there is a bad driver or software installed, it may cause problems with sleep mode.
