P.S. I can boot Windows 7 through the Bios indepentently and it works fine.

Welcome to the community,

have you installed the virtual machine by using the Easy Install feature? Please check the virtual disk is not connected (connection on startup is disabled) and remove or rename the autoinst.flp in the folder of the virtual machine.

  • Error - NTLDR is missing from the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: difficulty ntldr missing.

    I don't have xp recovery disk. I get lack ntldr message at startup. How can I fix wihout disc?

    Since the MS Answers forum does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  What makes which gives good ideas for extremely difficult solution.

    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?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    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?

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

    You can create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and start the XP Recovery Console.

    The chances are pretty good that there is a copy of the NTLDR file on your system to another location, so you can replace the missing file.

    The file is supposed to be like c:\ntldr c:\ root folder (note there is no file for the ntldr file extension) but of course your seems to have developed missing.

    If your system is preinstalled with XP there is probably a folder c:\i386 on your system and that there should be a copy of the file in folder c:\i386 NTLDR.

    If you have installed Service Pack 3 download Internet via the World Wide Web Wide, there will be a copy of the NTLDR file in this folder:

    c:\Windows\ServicepackFiles\i386

    Once you get started the recovery console and you ran chkdsk/r, I would see if these commands will work for you to replace the missing file:

    copy c:\i386\ntldr c:\

    or

    copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\ntldr c:\

    Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and I would run the chkdsk /r FIRST to make sure that your file system is not damaged.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  • Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

    original title: missing file

    Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

    I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

    I checked for viruses

    I purchase software to remove etc and REG files.

    Now that the devil do?

    Thank you

    If this

    I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

    means that you have tried to use sfc/scannow from start > run, your experience is not surprising.  This 'solution' is often suggested by people who don't really understand what this command does.  It does not help to restore a missing rundll32.exe file.

    For what is

    I checked for viruses

    What is the name and version of your anti-virus application?  When (approximately) their subscription expires? What other antimalware applications installed?  What other antimalware applications you used recently to scan your computer?

    If you have not yet used the "software to remove the REG files and etc." return for refund or throw it out.  "Registry cleaners", 'tuners', etc. are not useful.  If you used to "clean" the registry, use its "undo" feature (if it has one) to restore the registry.  Longtime MS MVP PA Bear:

    TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    What probably happened is that your antivirus application deleted or quarantined in your file rundll32.exe thinking he was infected.  He could have, but probably not.  In any case, read the post that begins, "That 'solution' is not on my list." in the following thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/systemrundllexe-not-found/6e30aff2-a88e-4d86-a654-753d54f632d1 you can also read the rest of the posts in this thread.

    Note that c:\windows\system32\dllcache is a hidden folder, but you who type in the address bar of Windows Explorer (or copy and paste), the folder should open anyway.

    Assuming you manage to restore rundll32.exe, download, install, update and run full scans (not at the same time) with each of the following free tools.

  • Request concerning the sequence of updates for the Windows Update client in 2015

    I posted a query similar to this on a Microsoft Technet forum, but I have not yet received a response to the specific question that I asked.  I'm trying so this forum.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, but I did not intend to accept the free update of Windows 10.  I don't use automatic updates.  I use Windows Update manually and select the updates to install, even for these updates identified as Important.

    Since April 2015, there was a sequence of updates for the client Windows Update on Windows 7 (Windows 8).  I have the Windows 7 of those below list:

    KB2990214 (April 2015)

    KB3050265 (June 2015)

    KB3065987 (July 2015)

    KB3075851 (August 2015)

    KB3083324 (September 2015)

    KB3083710 (October 2015)

    KB3102810 (November 2015)

    KB3112343 (December 2015)

    (This list is probably less intimidating than it looks because the replaced October update Update September, which replaced the August update, which replaced the July update, which replaced the June updated.  "There are therefore basically just 4 updates.)

    The big question is, given that Windows 7 is available for several years, why, all of a sudden, there was this sequence of updates for the Windows Update client?  Because these updates began to occur at the time when the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10 was announced, I could be forgiven for thinking that all of these updates are really directed towards the relaxation of the upgrade to Windows 10 via Windows Update, and that there is little or no advantage to systems that are not upgrading.  I am mistaken in this belief?  If not, precisely those who will benefit from my system, even if it is not upgraded to Windows 10?

    The updates that I currently installed, depending on the installed updates, are KB2990214 (April 2015), KB3075851 (August 2015), KB3083324 (September 2015) and KB3083710 (October 2015).

    In my view, there was a lack of transparency in the descriptions of these updates in the KB articles.  And, in one or two cases, information on the importance of an update in the article and in Windows Update has been inconsistent.  It would have been much clearer if each KB article stated for NOT upgrading to Windows 10 systems, if the update to the Windows Update client is important, as an option or completely irrelevant.

    Hello, Tiberius.

    Thank you for your response.

    I'm sorry for the late reply.

    I appreciate your time and your concern.

    You can read this article and check if it helps.

  • SP A60: 'ntldr is missing' - all the possible passwords rejected in recovery console

    Hello

    My computer (Satellite Pro A60) 'crashed': 'ntldr is missing '.

    Looking for a solution found, but can't get into the recovery console (absolutely necessary to assign orders to restore the ntldr and ntdetect files).
    (I don't want to reinstall by fear of data loss).

    Each password possible is being refused: the computer has three users with administrator rights, I know that all three of them, I tried to 'Enter', 'Del', '1234', '11111', ' 0' 'admin', 'administrator', 'administrator' (this is a version in French), changed between QWERTY and Azerty... (I tried all possible suggestions on the Internet all for one, I went, I wrote to... - Why can't I enter in the console?)
    It must be Toshiba who has installed Windows XP Pro, so with what administrator password?

    Thanks for your feedback!

    (Sorry, posted this message in the series 'Satellite' too.)

    Are you running a NTFS file system? If you use fat32, then you can use a standard bootdisk and then run the command fdisk /mbr. that may solve your problem. Otherwise, you will need to use the recovery console. The password is defined when setting up the machine and is not defined by Toshiba I can guarantee that. This will be the password defined for the administrator when you ran through the initial Setup screen that is accepted the EUL

  • All the addon icons are missing in the window customize

    I use FF 3.6.18 on XP, Vista and Win7. Given that FF itself upgrade 3.6.18, Miss all kinds of icons of the addon. Needless to say most of the addons cannot work unless that icon there to click. When I went to the [toolbar Customize] window to drag the icons réécrirait tool/menu/status bars, I find that ALL my icons missing addon. The FF default icons are there, but all the addon icons are missing. I've seen a lot of messages from people with the same problem as FF4 running, but it is not only a problem with version 4. Most of the answers provided were advised going to the window to customize and dragging that icons back out - obviously written by people who have not been read the question very carefully. Others recommend clicking the [restore default icons] button. They did not read the question with much attention either. I have this problem on my PC, those running XP, Vista and 7. Yes, I already ran ladies of virus and spyware, and that has not helped one of my PCs. reinstall the addons is no help either. Since the problem is on all of my PCs in various operating systems and upgraded to FF4 seems to make things worse, it looks like a bug in FF. Most of my friends who use Firefox have the same problem. It is a bug, or is it repairable? Does anyone know how to solve this?

    After, with great difficulty, eliminating the motor leads from my system, I tried half a dozen other things, but ultimately never gave up is fixed without wiping my hard drive clean. However, the latest update of Firefox (3.6.24) solved the problem! on all my computers! Don't know what you people at Mozilla has done, but thank you, thank you, thank you. No idea what caused the problem, or what fixed it, but it's a happy camper now.

  • Presentation settings is missing from the Windows Mobility Center

    Satellite L 300 with Vista Home Basic

    Recently installed everything, but have run windows update etc. Since then.

    Presentation settings does not appear in the Windows Mobility Center, and I can not find presentationsettings.exe anywhere on the computer.

    Have tried downloading VAP but no difference. Toshiba Assist has nothing to help me, I think.

    I tried looking for drivers and utilities for the L300 and sees nothing to help me - no presentation or power related only downloads.

    How can I get the presentation settings? The main problem I have is not to want the screen empties when you watch a DVD or streaming video. Even if you put windows power settings to never turn off the screen, it will still blank after a period of time without the intervention of the physical user, despite the video game.

    AFAIK this option is always available when the laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba (factory State) recovery image.
    You install own OS or what?

    I have two Toshiba laptops, and both of them have this option in the Windows Mobility Center.

  • Why the Windows Vista client gets the IP address of the Windows SBS 2011 as default DNS server?

    I use Windows Vista on a client computer that is connected to our Windows Server SBS 2011 server. I don't want to use the DNS server on the local server and the DNS addresses are automatically collected on our router. Every time I have to restart my computer or disconnect / reconnect the connection to the local network, the default DNS server address is set back to static and has the IP address of the local server, which makes it much slower DNS specifications.

    Can I disable this automatic update of address of DNS server somehow? In fact, I don't want to run a DNS server on the local server.
