  hard drive detected problem iminent failure press F1 key to continue... After pressing F1 computer won't start in safe mode

  so I check apparently I solve the problem. I run a system check and all is fine... I reboot my computer and I get: problem hard drive detected iminent failure press F1 to continue... boots up in safe mode only... the changes ive made did nothing because when the computer reboots, it starts again in SafeMode only. but with the networking and database drivers and the DCs as startup options. nothing seems to stick to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

  Hello

  'problem detected hard disk iminent failure '.

  The hard drive is faulty

  Back up your data > buy a new hard drive > reinstall the operating system.

  To be sure, this is the problem do the following:

  Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

• Lose my ethernet internet connection when the computer goes into mode 'sleep '.

  I have a desktop with Windows Vista.  I have my internet through a cable company.  I've never had problems of connectivity for 2 years and then out of no where he would pass the signal after mode 'sleep'.  I had the cable company come out and check on all equipment and it's good that now, I'm still clueless and confused.  The connection icon have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle and say "limited connectivity" and «identify...» "and then I click on Local area connection status and make a diagnostic test that will get me connected to"network 2 "until it goes into sleep mode and then the process repeats.  It's boring say the least.  When I login and go to the LAKE State he says;

  IPv4 connectivity: Internet

  IPv6 connectivity: limited

  Media state: enabled

  Duration:

  Speed: 100.0 Mbps

  He said that the issue is resolved after each diagnostic test, but then it happens again.  I need some help pleaseeee!

  > I need some help pleaseeee!

  But you're in the wrong group! It is a problem with your network driver
  or your Windows installation. You have this repost to a suitable for Windows Vista
  Forum. It is possible that a newer driver from the network has a problem with sleep
  mode, you should try another pilot (older or newer).
  From your description, there is a problem to renew the lease of your
  DHCP server (which must be running on your router), it does not use the
  IP address assigned earlier or he does not do / IP address (which
  should be the same) we get the router. It is also possible that the
  problem is with the router or a new firmware on this subject. You should study
  These two avenues, including a replacement of the router and firmware.
  Another very simple solution is to configure your PC for a static IP number and
  leave it like that. In the forum, I mentioned, people will be able to talk to you
  through this option if you don't know how to do this.

  IEFAQ: http://iefaq.info Newsgroup: microsoft.public.de.internetexplorer

• Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

  I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

  If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

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

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

  You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

  If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

• I tried to start the computer in safe mode, nothing works. All of a sudden my icon text in paint is dark. Why?

  Found the answer... the text bar is still gray but I was able to unlick

  in the toolbar and I was able to add text.  Not sure, maybe "text".

  the button was grey all along?  I don't think, but I can choose only three of

  the four options that allow a check mark in the view menu: toolbar, color and the State.  The text

  has a check, but it is gray, cannot be enabled or disabled.  Maybe I just never noticed it before.  Could

  Add text by clicking on the toolbar tools, then reclicking thereon.  Odd.  It works and that's all that I needed.

• start the computer in safe mode and appearing automatically jump to the top of websites

  Original title: appearing automatically jump to the top of websites and to hear the mouse click as sounds radomly
   
   
  Microsoft community.
   
  I have essentially two problems in my computer.
  (1) since almost a month my computer automatically goes into safe mode when I pass it on or restart. So, I have to change the user account to come to normal mode.
  (2) in addition to this since 5 days I noticed pop-up program (exactly which is the site web news.net ) in the right corner of my computer screen and it comes with random noise (similar to a mouse-click) that I mentioned earlier.

  I guess this program automatically installed when I tried to download another program almost a week back.

   

  I tried to remove the program using Control Panel, but it is not in the Panel.
  Then I ran a Kaspersky internet security scan (license and currently updated version) that was installed in my computer and then I ran Microsoft security scanner and none of them could picked up a problem.
  So I ran computer more secure mood.
   
  When I tried to clean the boot. I noticed only with safe mode even if the clean boot dialog box appeared options such as ok or cancel orders are not visible or they are absent (or damaged). Here, because I couldn't do the clean boot function properly.
  And I always get that previously mentioned his pop-up at random.
  So I am worrying because this could be the virus and it can harm my computer or your identity. I really appreciate if you can help me in this regard.
  Thank you
  Kind regards.

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse and try to start the computer in normal mode.

  Method 2: Start your computer in last known good configuration.

  Method 3: As the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 4: Follow the steps in the article.

  Hi Ron,

  -Were there any changes made to the computer before the show?

  I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check.

  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If the problem does not still in safe mode, then put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  Step 2: Configure the computer clean boot.

  To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Please note: After troubleshooting, be sure to start your computer in normal mode by following step 7.

  Method 2: Run a virus scan to ensure that your computer is virus-free.
