PC will not boot after loading sp3 for Windows xp__

I loaded sp3 for windows xp and now the system does not restart.  He is caught in a loop.  It is now trying continuously restart.  I tried safe mode and it just scrolls the file names and stops.  I tried the last successful reboot option known and that no longer works.

A. you must have only one 1 antivirus installed and to load at startup. If your McAfee subscription is updated, uninstall AVG & reboot.

B. then you will need to treat the Norton "remains". Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

C. now try to install SP3 by the following recommendations:

  • DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP.

    DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP. That it disappeared from "MY COMPUTER". Device Manager sees it, but there's a yellow exclamation mark over it. See the BIOS of the motherboard and it still works in the BACK. I know SP3 is a collection of updates, but I'm not sure that is my problem. I suspect it's one of the more recent cause I have Windows automatic updates is turned on. Thank you.

  • HP Deskjet 1000 printer, model: J110a printer will not print after loading Windows 10

    After loading Windows 10 would not print my printer. I deleted the printer and HP all downloads for it and turn the computer off. Start the computer up, re-load the printer driver, plugged and tried a test page. I get a message in the lower right of the screen that says "file saved in the documents folder" and no page is printed.  I tried troubleshooting, but without success.

    Hey @Bandit64,

    Issue seems to be with the spooler, try the steps below and mark the port selected in the printer driver settings.

    If you use USB - selected port must be USB001 or DOT4

    If you use a network cable - selected port must be HP TCP/IP Standard.

    1. stop the spooler
    a. click on start, Control Panel, performance and Maintenance, administrative tools, then Services.
    b. scroll the list of services for the print spooler.
    c. right-click on print spooler and stop it.

    2 remove the files of spooling.
    a. click on my computer.
    b. go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS\.
    c. remove all files in this folder.

    NOTE: If the spooler does not work properly, this folder must be empty when the machine is not printing. Normally, it removes these files in this folder after that they were sent to the printer. Delete blocked files can free the spooler and allow it to continue normal operation.

    3. restart the spooler.

    a. click on start, Control Panel, performance and Maintenance, administrative tools, then Services.
    b. scroll the list of services for the print spooler.
    c. right click on print and start spooler.

  • Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Model A3E82AV number

    I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.

    I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.

    I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

    I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.

    This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?

    Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

    FIXED!

    I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.

    The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

    For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

    Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
    Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

    Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A

    If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.

  • ITunes will not open after installation on own windows.

    Hello good people. I'm having a problem with iTunes. First, I installed my card motherboard and CPU to 970 MSI gaming and AMD FX6300 respectively. Secondly, I tried solving this problem on and off for 12 hours now. I did, step by step, everything included on this page of troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates .  I even went as far as the PCFixit of use to install each individual program. I also tried uninstalling everything and using the version "for older video cards. 570 GeForce gtx if it matters.

    In addition, Quicktime is not installed with the installer, so this isn't the issue. I even went so far as QuickTime installation, repair and try again, still without success. I don't also get MSI error. I tried disabling my firewall completely, and I currently have no installed antivirus program.

    The installation seems to be just fine, everything seems to be in its place, but when I double click the Itunes, or run as admin, I get the small circle of loading for 1-2 seconds and nothing. If I look at the Task Manager, itunes.exe appears under process for about 2 seconds and then disappears. If I shift-ctrl-click, I get a popup window that says that itunes is running in safe mode, but if I click on one of the options, he runs away and disappears.

    All advice is appreciated. I actually upgraded my mobo and CPU because I've had problems before with my computer does not recognize is not my phone, tablet or anything in any apple product. Same thing for the iphone 4, 5, 6 and ipad mini 3. Now, my computer has no problems with recognition of the device, but I can't seem to install iTunes to do something with it.

    (OS is Windows 7 Ultimate)

    Thanks in advance,

  • Sony Xperia z3 Turned off and will not charge after being immersed for about 5 minutes

    As the subject says. My Xperia Z3 was submerged for about 5 minutes in less than a foot of water. He was in charge at first, then it started to vibrate. The model will thus: 1 (typical to indicate the load power) Vibration, then a Triple vibrator. At this point the LED on the phone turns off. Now he's going to restart this process again and again until the phone is disconnected. That submerged while the phone components were closed and did not open. As far as the damage is concerned, it is a crack in the root of the hair in the backglass and part of the bezel has started to peel off near the camera for unknown reasons. Once again this damage is very slight, and only someone who knows what the phone looks like new would see same. Any help would be apperciated.

  • Streaming videos will not play after loading

    Hi guys. So I have this problem.
    When I play a video, I've waited a long time to load. When I come back to play, I can't click any part of the video, whether it's the game, the button full screen or any part of the video. Basically, he's wasting all my time waiting in a continuous stream given that I can't play the video at all.

    Videos YouTube are very good. All other videos have this problem. I have to remove the cookies, cache images and download history to fix, but it's a solution temporary because after watching my first video (after the removal of cache and cookies) successfully, it goes back to the same problem. I can't click any part of the video stream.

    I tried Googling, but I can't find the right keyword. I had this problem for 2 days. My version of flash player is the most recent: 15.0.0.189? (if I'm not mistaken).

    I also tried to play a video in incognito mode, but it's always the same problem (if the information is useful).

    I don't know if it's really a flash problem, but it could be one of the culprits.

    Someone knows how to fix this? Please help, it's very frustrating.

    Go to the Control Panel, programs and features and remove Adobe flash player. Now try to play a video as default player by windows.

  • Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion

    Hello

    We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory

    We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

    When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.

    We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
    and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

    It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!

    1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!

    I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
    What RAM do you have?

    A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.

    You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

  • Laptop will not boot after Dell logo.

    Yesterday, I tried to start my Dell Inspiron 17 laptop. I bought about three years ago and have not had any problems start to date. When I press the power button, the Dell logo appears and then nothing happens. I removed the battery and held the power button down until delete static. I also tried F2, SATA has changed, but that has not worked. Then I tried to run the diagnostics, but I got a black screen. How can I fix this, or is something broken?

    There's your answer - the hard drive is bad (the boot sequence hangs on the black screen because it can not find the bootstrap on the drive to continue.

    Reinstall the drive (you will need a new, 2.5 "SATA laptop drive - hard drive, drive hybrid or disk solid state drive) that is 9.5 mm or thinner) and reload the OS (from the recovery media if all goes well, you did when you received the system) and you'll be all set.
