Need to do a system restore. When the computer starts and I cannot access the BIOS menu - help please... (WinXPSP3)

I need to change the boot order, so the installation CD starts first-I can't enter the Bios at Startup Menu.

It's a HP Pavilion that says F1 is supposed to allow me to access the menu of the BIOS at startup.  I also tried:

Tip There are other keys that provide access to the BIOS. They include the following:

o F1

o F2

o F10

o, CTRL + ENTER

o ALT + ENTER

o, CTRL + ALT + ESC

o, CTRL + ALT + INSERT

And kay LED does not work either.  It's Windows XP - 32 bit home.

Service Pack 3 is installed - SpySweeper is anti-virus and using the Windows Firewall.  This computer were of Trojan horses (40) and finally the browser was re-directed.

Thanks for any help.

It shud be a Hp tool installedon your system with which you can edit boot options even after logging on to XP.

Its something like HP or Credential Manager protection tools.

  • If flash player problem, there is nothing wrong to do a system restore when he was working and not day of flash player, but firefox update?

    flash player update and update of firefox is not compatible. Do not play videos or connect to web sites and freezes... Solved by doing an update of windows system where he was working. This gives you a work of flash player, and you don't update and cancel the automatic updates. You can update firefox. A simple solution, just type in system restore in the start menu and follow the directions. Worried if there are drawbacks.

    Thanks for the replies. Here is my story: after the update of firefox and flash player June 22, I was unable to use my computer effectively. I am retired and use the computer for research, the entertainment and recreation. and I could not reach sites, found sites gel, could not play videos or hear telephone conferences. I tried to replace the flash player with older versions of the flash player, but kept receiving messages that the installation failed and I needed to install the latest version, I tried to get rid of. I also reinstalled firefox and flash player disabled player real and cleared the cache and cookies. I did not disable the protected mode which seemed complicated, I knew how to clear cookies in firefox at the time here.
    I decided to do a system restore before June 22. I have found that installing and reinstalling and put to date had exhausted most of my system restore dates, but I was able to find one on June 3 and he ran. If other people will try this fix, they should do it before he runs of dates.
    The fix worked, and I have not seen any bad effects. I have no files or important data. I see that this could be a problem. However the difficulty of making a system restore is running much less than firefox in safe mode or some of the other methods of obtaining an older flash player which I have been unable to do. Also I don't know how to disable the protected mode or quick acceleration, but I see that people should be judged with the fix of real player before doing a system restore which seems to be a last resort, for your comments.
    I was more concerned about security than with the loss of data. It seems that adobe tries to protect firefox users of problems with viruses with protected mode, and using the flash in prior non-protected mode was what I've been concerned. However, if I couldn't use the computer, the protected mode was not any help. I could stop and protected him, also. I didn't suggest others to do this fix if it was dangerous, but for me it was quick and easy to a moment that I was about to give up. I wanted others to know about it, because it works, but I didn't want to be the cause of unintended consequences. So I guess I have found, use the fix at your own risk and try first the other sollutions.

    Hello

    You can not access the system from the BIOS recovery.

    F8 boot Options is your hope, but you say that they do not work

    You need a Microsoft DVD to do a startup repair, or a restoration of the system, thanks to this Guide.

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  • Does not open the system preferences of the Apple menu

    Anyone know of a good solution for this?

    A few weeks ago I started noticing that I couldn't open my application system preferences in the Apple Menu bar (via the Apple logo > system, or via the WiFi icon Preferences > network, or even Preferences by right-clicking on the desktop to change the desktop background, etc.).

    WHAT WORKS:

    I can open the system preferences if I click directly on the application icon or you try to open it from the dock.

    I can open the app in the Apple menu if I register as another user.

    WHAT DOES NOT WORK:

    The problem does not go away when I restart in mode 'start '.

    The problem does not go away when I run disk utility.

    The problem does not go away when I remove the "Finder" and "System Preferences".plist file in the Preferences folder in the user's library.

    The problem does not go away when I remove the files "Preferences panel" bury of the Cache in the user's library folder.

    The problem does not go away when I zap the PRAM.

    The problem does not go far if I replace the system preferences application from a recent backup.

    I was about to just try and re-install the MacOS, but thought I would try the forums first, since the Apple Support site said that it should not be necessary if the problem is only limited to a user's profile. I found a lot of entries in the forums for this issue dated a few years ago and have tried most of the solutions, but I don't think that you can repair the permissions of the disc more on El Capitan.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    Given all of the things you tried that don't work, over time it would take to troubleshoot more, you could restore OS X in 45 minutes to an hour on a broadband connection using OS X Recovery.

    Start your Mac while pressing the command + R keys. From there, you should be able to access the built in utility to verify and repair the disk from startup (if necessary) and OS X using OS X recoveryof restoration.

  • I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry.

    Original title: cleaning your pc

    I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry. There is a financial has now attached ittibu or something. and how to remove the event source errors and all that is connected to this.

    If you make financial transactions online and feel your system has been compromised, the more experienced people will recommend wipe you your HARD drive and reinstall your XP from scratch, but that is not always possible and of course is up to you depending on how you feel about this (you need to feel good about it).

    If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

    http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

    Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

    If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    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)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    If you need help interpreting your logs in Event Viewer, follow these steps:

    Here is a method to display specific information about individual events.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    The most interesting newspapers are usually the system and Application logs.

    Some newspapers such as security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have just a few items.  The default settings for XP wants do not connect all this activity, unless you need to solve a problem in these areas.  If you enable logging for them the papers fill up quickly and could adversely affect the performance of your system with all the extras (often unnecessary) activity.

    If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own newspapers, and they can be empty or occasional boring activity very little or, if there is no problem with your desktop applications.  It's normal.

    Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things work very well, and some are warnings.

    However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.

    Each event is sorted by Date and time.  Errors will be red Xs, warnings will have yellow! s.
    Informational messages have white is.  Not every error or warning event means that there is a serious question.

    Some are excusable at boot time when Windows starts.  Try to find only the events to the date and time around your problem.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    If you paste an event, it will look something like this annoying system startup event:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7035
    Date: 14/07/2010
    Time: 17:54:18
    User: Jose
    Computer: computer

    Description:
    The Remote Access Connection Manager service was sent successfully a starting control.

    To get a fresh start on any log of the event viewer, you can choose to clear the log (the log backup is available), and then reproduce your problem, then just look at the events around your show and troubleshoot events that are happening when you have your question.
