• Computer does not stop / restart Windows XP

  I used restoring the other day, after restoring I was unable to use the closing down or restart windows XP.  The computer would start close but when it came to the closing of the background, it would freeze just up and do not continue closing down. Apparently, I lost part of the closure program during the restoration and had since then reset my restore.  Is there anyway to fix this problem, a microsoft downlod or something. I'm not very well informed about computers, but I'm also very mechanically inclined. I am homeless and do not have a lot of money for a tech. Can anyone help me out there. send me an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  What was the reason for the system restore? Symptoms?

• Computer not finding networks, stuck on the Logging Off screen in Vista

  For the past two weeks, if I simply close my laptop while it is running, most of the time when I try to open it up my wireless network does not connect automatically. I have to click 'Connect to' in my Start menu and manually connect to the network. The only problem is, sometimes it will fail to find a network and when I try to manually go to 'Connect to', it does nothing. Nothing comes up at all. I have to restart my computer. Once I try to restart, it sticks on the screen "Logging Off". I also tried to disconnect just opened a session back, but it's still stuck on this screen. I am then forced to make a hard closed down by holding down the power button.

  Any ideas?

  Hello
   
  1. you broadcast the SSID of the wireless network?
  2. have you idea of changing the settings of the preferred wireless networks?

  The list of networks connected to before is sometimes referred to as your preferred wireless networks or your preferred list.
  a. open manage wireless networks by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click on manage wireless networks.
  b. your saved wireless networks is displayed. To change the order in which your computer connects to networks, drag the networks upwards or downwards in the list.
  c. to change preferences for the network, right-click the network, and then click Properties.

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
