  • Printing multiple pages; going too fast and jams

    I have a HP 1200 laser printer and want to print 85 double-sided copies, printing page 1 and then put back copies through to page 2. The problem is that the printer goes too fast and jams of all other pages or two. I can't think of anyway to slow it down, or any other reason for the jam. It works fine on small jobs.

    Thanks for the information. I checked the "components", and they seem to be OK. I suspect that the problem may be the quality of the paper (dried, perhaps). I'll mark this as resolved.

    Hi BSRC$, in stock

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

    Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

    It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

    I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.

  • Music and sounds are coming through too fast and too sharp.

    Music and sounds are coming in my treble speakers too much and too fast. Looks like Alvin and the chipmunks. It happens on all sounds from a CD or the Internet. All diagnostics check out OK. It's Windows XP. Any ideas how to adjust the sound quality?

    Hello Jcbrewer,

    Thank you for your message.  Take a look at the information below which I copied from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/mediaadvice/0067.mspx.
    Why my music sounds like chipmunks sing?

    Don't worry, little domestic rodents in Windows Media Player is not configured. Instead, the clock of your soundcard probably has a timing problem. To resolve this issue, try to reduce the level of hardware acceleration for your sound card by following these steps:

    1.

    In Control Panel, open sounds and Audio devices.

    2.

    In the Volume , in the settings area of the speaker tab, click the Advanced button.

    3.

    In the Advanced Audio properties dialog box, click the performance tab and adjust the hardware acceleration slider to adjust the calendar clock for your sound card.

    Remember that, if your sound card supports multi-channel (5.1) audio playback, turn off hardware acceleration (moving the cursor of None) will cause the sound card to play all the audio multichannel stereo (two speakers).

    If you can't solve the problem by adjusting hardware acceleration, you can check with the computer manufacturer for an updated audio driver.

    Another possibility is that it could be a joke any.  You can perform a clean boot that will start the computer without programs 3rd party.  The steps are below:

    1. Click Startand then click run.
    2. Type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.
    3. On the general tab, click Selective startup.
    4. Under Selective startup, clear the following check boxes:
      • SYSTEM process. INI file
      • Process of VICTORY. INI file
      • Load Startup items
    5. Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
    6. Click OK.
    7. When you are prompted, click restart.
    8. After the computer starts, start the program or game and see if the problem is resolved.
    If the problem is resolved, you can check in Add/Remove programs to see if there are any suspicious software that needs to be removed.  You can also check your startup programs in MSCONFIG.  To access msconfig, click on 'Start' > select "Run" > Type msconfig in the box and click on enter.  You will see the Startup tab, you can check all suspicious programs start at startup and remove them.
    See you soon

  • Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

    Hi all

    Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

    To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

    A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

    I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

    Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

    I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

    I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

    Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

    Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

    If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

    DISM is a thing of Windows 7. First test the hardware.

    Standard hardware troubleshooting
     
     
    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
     

    S.M.A.R.T
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
     
    WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List
     
    If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.
     
    Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.
     
    In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
     
    Run chkdsk
    In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

     
    SFC
    Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    sfc/scannow
     
    Heat
    Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.
     
    For memory diagnostic results
    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.
     
    Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

     
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

    For results of Chkdsk

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.
     
    Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
    Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
    Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk

    Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
    Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
     
    PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted.
     
    To see if there
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

     
    There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
  • Why the videos play too fast and with no sound?

    I tried the update of flash player and that has not worked. All the other audio seems to work very well. Problem is when I try to video streams from youtube etc the video plays in fast speed and there is no audio data

    Since Youtube uses flash player for videos, completely uninstall Flash, then reinstall the latest version and see if the problem persists:

  • Exports of MPEG2-DVD MUCH too fast and creates an excerpt of quality even if the preview mode not selected

    This is a repost with a new title, by the suggestion of Bill.

    I had a 30-minute PP CS4 project with tons of graphics (rendering models AE movies H.264, film background, psd, etc), 720 p 60 overall images, music and sfx. He looked closely like the last 30 minute DVD, I did, but with more graphic things. The sequence is HDV 720 p 30

    The last export MPEG2-DVD lasted 17 hours (my system is displayed in my profile). It took only two hours. The only difference I can think is that this time that I made the whole preview timeline while the last time I did not. The SOUL export parameters were identical, including by selecting 'quality to make Maximum usage. The results of the last time were good. The result this time is not - it looks like a quality excerpt.

    In the original original post here, Bob Peru reports the same unusual experience. He said:

    I have experienced the same improvement in time export via the rendering of the chronology, even if I know positively that "use the preview files" is unchecked.

    I wonder if there is some sort of bug where it says that it does not use the preview files, but it is in fact.

    I hope someone knows what is happening here. My project is weeks late and loans from, except for this problem.

    Maybe delete all files preview?

    Thank you, everyone.

    If you are sure that you do not preview for this project files, so the only other explanation for the lag is that this project was simply not as complex of export like the others (assuming that there were no hardware upgrades between projects).

    In other words, there are only a few things that can affect the export time.  They are:

    1. support of source.

    2 export settings.

    3. the complexity of the project.

    4. material capabilities.

    5. use of the preview files.

    6. software version.

    If 1 and 2 are the same for both projects, and assuming that the 4, 5 and 6, has not changed, then the cause of faster exports must be 3.

  • Fan too fast and noisey

    The fan on my machine started working overtime and is quite noisey - suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Clean inside to remove all dust, pet hair, lint, etc., of all the fans, vents, radiators, etc.

    If the machine is new (ish) and didn't need cleaning, then check in the Task Manager and see what is using all resources of the processor. It could be anything from an update running in background to something as nasty as a virus.
