• New installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, computer loops and again: "the installation program prepares your computer for first use.

  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra A4-S211 and provided that the installation went, it seemed that took place without incident; except that when I try to start windows I see: "Starting windows" followed by "Setup prepares your computer for first use" that is displayed for about 3-5 seconds and then it restarts and displays abruptly: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "I tried the safe mode, but also"last known good configuration"and I get the same results. Finally, I tried the repair function on the installation disc and says am Startup Repair is unable to repair the computer automatically, where then I click to send information to Microsoft to be told that if I had all the devices attached like a camera or portable music player to remove them and restart. I have nothing set, no flash player or anything.
  I tried to do all the steps above a dozen times each, and the results are consistent, except that the start of repair is sometimes said that there is nothing wrong with windows. Here also to point out that I had XP running on it before without problem and I tested the DVD on another computer and it worked.

  Hi Austin,.

  You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

  If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy
  protected. The manufacturer of your system will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already
  Clean Windows. You can also do an ERD on another computer.

  Try the Startup Repair - (if at anytime, benefit you from some, but not full access coming to Windows
  return and then try to startup repair.)

• Download speed very slow on the wired Ethernet connection

  I am currently getting 200 Mbps down and 0.3 MB/s on my desk wired Ethernet connection. I should get 200 down and 20 upwards.

  • On my wireless adapter on the same router, I have ~ 18 Mbit/s to the top and about 15 Mbit/s down, which seems that the wireless adapter works fine.
  • I plugged in another computer with the same cable on the same router port and got the full speed (200/20), then the problem lies within my computer.
  • I made a transfer of files to and from my computer to another computer connected to the same router and I got the full speed Gigabit times come and go.

  I searched high and wide on the internet and forums, and that many people have had the same problem I have, nothing of the multitude of solutions worked for me.

  That's what I tried without success:

  • Uninstalled the Ethernet card, deleted the drivers, forcing the new drivers to install again. No change of speed.
  • Carefully checked for Virus and malware programs (crossed the registry as well), but found nothing, and nothing has been installed recently other than windows updates.
  • The only antivirus I have is Windows Defender. I turned off and turned off the Windows Firewall, but speed did not improve.
  • I tried with IE, Chrome and Firefox, speed with different services and all tests show similar speeds. I also used FTP to a server I have, and the speeds were the same.
  • There is no other traffic devours bandwidth.

  So what I have gathered so far, it's that my Ethernet card works very slow only when downloading from the internet. Within my network, it works fine.

  What is a service that does not work well? If so who? I am not knowledgeable on the use of all services. I checked IPv4 and IPv6 and they both seem to be configured correctly, but I can't say that I am certain of what "correctly configured" is.

  These are my specs:

  HP Desktop H9 - 1215t

  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

  32 GB OF RAM

  64 bit

  Chip Intel i7-3770

  Controller Atheros AR8161/8165 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20)

  I would really appreciate some help here because this problem I'm paralyzed.

  Thank you for your time,

  Tom

  By George, you got it!

  For someone who thinks he's good at Googling, I could sure use some improvements!

  The key has been the link to explanation. While I had been close to my tests, this for shows that even when you sort-of-one little-peut-be-think you know what you're doing to keep your legs unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

  The answer was definitely Large Send Offload, but it was a little more complicated, at least to understand what really happened. Neutralization of him gave the tour, but now I work with an active v2 and it works like a charm.

  I will detail what, in my opinion, happened here for those who may have similar problems so that they (you) may be able to figure out, as all cards are different and may require slightly different settings.

  I live in an area where so far the download speed over fast, I was able to get is 2 Mbps, on a good day, it's usually on average 1 ~ 1.5 Mbps. download speed is between 5 ~ 20 Mbit/s.

  I do a lot of video work and I constantly have to download large files on my servers. I got the computer described above about 8 months ago, and my Age (2 years) one remained on my home network.

  For a week or two, I was cursing my ISP because the internet was slower than usual and very glitch. I tested my speed and got 20 down and 0.2, repeatedly. So I went through the long and technology-challenged call representative to 'help' me, I was paying for 20/2. Only option was to wait a week for a technician to come out of my house, he stressed have shot my injurybut not before you ask me, that there are faster speeds to internet available in my place. 200/20 which is 10 times what I had, so of course I went with her. In doing so the representative asked me to Exchange my modem/router for a new handle faster speeds.

  When I replaced the modem/router, I found that the download speed went from 50/0.2 (after the new request speed but still with the old router) to 200/0.3~0.5 with the new router. I also had a Cisco E2000 router that I turned into a switch, which was also bogged down internet high speed (now that they have been much faster). But still the download speed has not really improved.

  This long and winding history is so that you (read this with a similar problem) might find the answer to your particular problem.

  Looking back when I said that the issue was in my computer because that became high speed was not quite accurate. The 'problem' was beyond my router, if the solution was in my settings with the LSO parameter. The 'problem' was not really a problem since what I see (guess) that's happened is that my ISP has been updated with equipment, and the settings on my new pc has become a problem while paradoxically not so in my old pc.

  My old pc equipped with a "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and the IPv4 LSO parameter turned on, that she was no problem under the new set of circumstances ISP. 200 / 20 Mbit/s.

  Then when I compared the setting on my new computer, it never crossed my mind that the neutralization of him would solve the problem.

  My new pc has a Atheros AR8161/8165 controller PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20). This adapter has a setting "IPv4 LSO" more setting "IPv4 LSO v2" and "IPv6 LSO v2" décor. I don't think that my ISP uses IPv6.

  In my quest to solve the problem, I placed all of the above settings to "Enabled", without success and in my fog don't reverse these settings.

  With the 3 off, it worked fine, but I got a 5 ~ 10% improvement on the download speed with the LSO IPv4 v2 enabled and the other disabled.

  There is no way representing the service provider on the phone could know this, so calling them would not / has not solved the problem. Even waiting a week for the technician most likely would not have solved the problem as it would be measured using a laptop full download and the download speeds.

  I'm sure this will become a problem most current internet speeds that House are starting to soar (thanks Google!), so I hope this helps those who have similar problems.

  To summarize:

  Click on start->Control Panel->Device Manager->network adapters-> your adapter name (mine is Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI - E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20), right click and select Properties. On the advance tab, find good Large Send Offload (IPv4) and change its value to disabled , and then click on OK.

  If you have a Large Send Offload (IPv4) v2 try to set that to enable (with either a handicapped of course).

  I hope this helps!

  And thank you George.

• I built a new system. Transferred to the hard drive and video card, but everything else is new. Restart Windows as it begins to start. I can get into safe mode and found event id 7026 and event id 7001 in the event viewer.

When I choose to start windows normally, it will load up to a point. The screen of Windows Xp will come with the slide bar. It will then restart. When I choose to start in safe mode, a bunch of 32 file system scrolls upwards on the screen. I don't remember if it of normal or not. He takes over in SafeMode but.

  I did find something online that contains all the system boot or start specific drivers. Windows and harddrive was working in another computer just before he was switched. Let me know if you need other information.

  Thank you.

  First of all you are missing probably a number of device drivers, particularly the network card driver and the driver of the motherboard.  Use your XP disk to perform a repair installation.  This should go a long way toward you're going to get.  If your new box has a driver disc that should help a lot.  You can't port XP perfectly the way you did.   It usually requires a repair installation to fix the hardware abstraction layer.

• Stuttering in Windows XP, the mouse works in safe mode

  Having a problem where my mouse is stuttering and getting hung-up constantly, tried with another mouse, same question. Everything works fine in safe mode, so I thought it was a problem with something in msconfig, no other startups don't aid (including diagnosis) plans. Reformat the drive, reinstalled windows XP, same question immediately, before XP was even born, so it may not be a new conflict driver or something. There is no change to the computer before the problem started, just appeared on a restart.

  Hello

  Log on to the computer manufacturer website and update the latest drivers for chipset, BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). Also, look for other updates to the device driver.

• How to perform a new installation of window 8.1?

  Hello

  (If this is important), I use an Alienware X 51 R2 with the following specifications:

  Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

  AMD R9 270 2 GB

  8 GB RAM

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

  1 secure Boot product still "no error of Boot Drives Found" as soon as I turn on the computer. So I have to disable Secure Boot.

  2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

  So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• New installation of Windows XP does not - UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows XP.

  Soyo SY - P41 845PE Lite MB
  Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz
  1.5 GB of Ram

  This is a computer that I use every day and who usually has a hard drive with WindowsXP SP3. I just want to have a spare hard drive with a new installation of Windows XP on it.

  But installation can not. Usually to auto restart after step 'Copy files' of the installation process. The Windows splash screen appears briefly, and then blue screen message, "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME"followed a few Advisory paragraph which does not apply because the operating system is not yet loaded, then:" technical information: * STOP: (0x8951c900) 0xc0000185 0x00000000 0x00000000. "

  Once he got as far as the Windows Installer screen (one who tells me it will take 39 minutes down left) then a box seemed to read: "Fatal Error. An error was encountered which prevents the installation to continue. Installation failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The Setup logs files should contain more information. "Read the Setup log file:" error: the signature for the installation of Windows XP Professional is not valid. " The error code is 80096001. An error occurred during trust verification. »

  Another time, after you press enter in the "WindowsXP installation on the selected element", I INSTANTLY got a screen which read; «An error has occurred during installation has been updated of the partition information on 152626 MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR].» Setup cannot continue. »

  Things, that I already tried that did not work:

  Using two different Windows XP Professional installation disks.

  Withdrawal and tries to install with different RAM sticks in place.

  Two IDE 40 son different cables, which work fine on this computer.

  Two different Western Digital disks hard two test without error using the WD diagnostic utility.

  My knowledge is limited, but that seems to leave only a bad card mother, right?  However, as I say, the computer works well with this old install Windows XP on it. He simply refuses to let me do a new installation on another hard drive.

  What other steps can I take to get a new installation on a hard drive with this computer?

  Thanks to each of you for your attention to my problem.

  I spent $4 on a 80 wire cable IDE (to replace the 40-wire cable I used) and I was finally able to get Windows XP installed today.

  Because I had done installations in the past with the 40 wire cable, I don't understand why it didn't work anymore. I guess the age of the cable, but I actually had multiple failures with a whole new thread 40 I had just bought. A mystery, but at least I now have a new facility and I am inclined to believe the 80 wire will make for a faster computer.

• New installation on windows 7 pro 64-bit sees not connected wired Officejet 6500 E710a-f

  Hello!

  New installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a gigahertz 3.40 AMD Phenom II X 4 965 with 8 GB of ram. Printer drivers worked on the same bench while he was running as Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
  After only install FF, AVG, and Acrobat (almost a clean install), downloaded the software HP Officejet full feature and pilot 2012-10-22, Version: 116,98, 28.8 M - OJ6500_E710n - z_1315.exe and tried to install the Officejet 6500 E710a f.

  The printer has a manually set static IP and can be ping from the host. Clean Windows Firewall is disabled and stopped.

  The web interface using the IP address of the printer comes with all the features works on FF.
  Network status shows connected with IP address, hostname and Mac.

  However, when installing the network audit is no ethernet connection. Even manually enter his public static IP address or hostname does not solve the problem.

  Try the USB, the same question option. I see in Device Manager under other devices HPOfficejet 6500 and 6500 HPOfficejet - Fax with a blue questionmark.
  (In the same "other devices" there are 2 Officejet 6500 with a yellow exclamation point - probably from failed network installation).

  In the printers and devices window, the 6500 is displayed with the correct thumbnail, but with a yellow exclamation point icon. Law and by selecting the convenience store, Windows comes up with the message that no driver is installed and offers a solution.  The correction ends with the error that no drivers not found for the FAX. Re-apply the patch never finds the driver.

  Anyone who has met something similar (and a solution)?

  Thanks for any help!

  After trying to do an install clean-install of 100% and once again, the driver software could not find the printer name or IP address.
  Back at each stage, I noticed that I was not using the correct driver! For some reason I D/L the pilot E710n which is for HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One.
  Whatever the difference, when installing the E710n for the model does not detect the printer, or via USB or Ethernet.
  After you download the right driver for the E710a - f HP Officejet 6500 a e-All-in-One Printer (OJ6500_E710a - f_1315.exe) installation perfectly finished in a few minutes and everything goes well...

  You would think, base or USB connectivity network should not be dependent on the specific differences sub-model. I was expecting that a bad driver interrogate the device after finding its IP address and display an error message with useful text.

  Unfortunately, when I did, I found that the drivers on the HP website do not work for some things, especially my wi - fi.

  If anyone can provide me with some drivers work, I would be incredibly grateful. I called HP and they told me all I can do is to pay $40 for a CD delivered to me so I can reinstall the version of bloatware, and I really want to do.

  I know the conventional wisdom is that the new installation is faster, but, no matter who actually tested and compared the differences?  I know I'll get better performance of the SSD the SATA drive, but I don't know if it's worth the hassle to do a fresh install and redo all my programs and settings.

  Others that the performance of the SSD you should not see any differences.  If you do, you can always do a clean installation later.
