Question about fix Windows XP install on laptop with connected screen

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron B130 with Windows XP Home SP3.   I got to a little old lady after the display has stopped working.  The laptop works fine hooked up to a monitor and the display still works sometimes.  I tried to replace the inverter and inverter cable, but neither solves the problem.   I could buy a new screen, but don't want to spend more than $100 on a long shot that it can resolve this display problem.   I also downloaded and installed the latest drivers to display on the Dell website and they did not stabilize the display problem either.  Then, I tried to do a repair of Windows XP installation to see if there is a software problem that causes this problem.  However, I'm not sure that the monitor displays the screens I go through the repair process.  If we use only the display on the laptop and it turns black, of course, I wouldn't to complete the installation.  Any ideas or experience on this?    Thank you!

Try to run, type: Msinfo32

In the new window, click components, search for "problem devices".

Once through, close, type run. DXDIAG

Run the tests of Direct X.

In addition, the Msinfo32 info, discover youre chipset on the MB, go to sound

MFG website (intel, amd, etc.), download & install the chipset installation utility.

You could do this first.

  • Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

    Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

    If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

    1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
    2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

    Anyone know the answers to these questions?

    Thank you

    You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

    My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

    Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

  • Re: Satellite C870 - Questions about Toshiba software pre-installed

    Hello..

    Instant Messaging user a new SATELLITE C870-1JV
    Or seen a review on an American site saying that all software pre-installed Toshiba slowing down the operating system.
    The site has recommended that a windows clean install to remove all...

    Everyone does this, or would you recommend?

    Anyone like the software installed and recommend keep it?

    Thank you!!

    > Someone has he done this, or would you recommend?
    You always want to use the advanced features like function keys laptop?
    If so, don t remove the feature key Toshiba software that controls the keys.

    You always want to be informed of updates to the driver through Toshiba Tempro or Toshiba Service Station?
    Then don t delete these software

    But as far as I know there are also other additional software installed on the laptop.
    For example: TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Eco Utility, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor, etc.
    All of these tools provide additional functionality, it s your decision whether or not you want to use.

  • 2 questions about updates windows 7

    Hello

    (1.) I am a student in a University, and it gave me a lot of programs, including Windows 7 Professional.  I can get these programs for download from a Web site and get a password for activation.  Please consider these scenarios:

    1.1) I installed Windows 7 on my laptop.  After a year, I format and reinstall Windows 7.  I'll be able to do or should I buy another Windows 7?

    1.2) I installed Windows 7 on my laptop.  After a year, my laptop broke down, so I buy a new one.  Can I install Win7 on my NEW laptop computer?

    2.) as I said, I got Windows 7 at my University.  However, it was already 2 years (I could have downloaded in 2008).  I'm afraid that I could not get the latest version of win7, even after updates.  Are there differences between a Win7 2 years with all official updates and a Win7 purchased in the store today?

    Thank you very much.

    both 'yes '.

    You can install it again on 1 PC. If the computer is damaged, you can install it on the new. In this case, it's probably true that you must activate your Windows by phone.

    You will need the full OEM System Builder License:

  • Question about DVD external HD (Blue Ray) players with Tecra M5

    I have a laptop TECRA M5 (in XP), although this could be relevant to other users of laptops with no internal HD DVD players.

    Is there an external HD (e.g. USB) DVD that I could connect my laptop? Then to watch HD movies on my laptop?

    If such a thing exists would it also directly connect to a HD TV (as my laptop has no HDMI)?

    Is there a way I could exchange my internal DVD for a HD one?

    Oh boy,

    I'll show you why you _shouldnt_ think about buying an external drive to your machine.

    1. Yes, there are a LOT of external HD DVD readers, most of them are hollow connected USB
    2. you could connect it to your laptop, Yes and no doubt you could play HD DVD movies on your computer, but NOT in HD from your screen only supports a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but need to HD movies at least a resolution of 1280 x 720. Any sufficiently fast computer with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 or higher is able to display HD video, even if the computers are generally not advertised as such.
    3. No, you cannot connect directly to an HD TV, I mean why Don t you then buy a HD DVD player?
    4. Yes, you could, but you are quite familiar with the computer systems to exchange a player that is integrated into your machine? If you would really spend money for the reader, you should ask then spend the extra money for a technician. ;)

    OK, until recently, the hard drive of my laptop couldn't, and I had to replace, no biggie, I really care about this laptop in any case. Then I threw ubuntu top and let it go from there. But recently, I wonder, if I could get windows again for her, for free. I am sure that it is not under warranty, but I could go and check of 90 percent. I have no back ups for it because it was cheap.

    Yes, if the hard drive has been installed you can just catch a Windows ISO-8 8.1 is not available now and make an own Install.Then, if you have the sticker of the product key on the back of your laptop use the product key to activate. Devices with Windows 8 generally have incorporated in their BIOS product key and use the following tool to get the product key:

  • Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

    OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

    Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

    Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

    I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
    or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
    others).

    The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
    Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
    to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
    Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

    To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
    and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.

  • Question about make Windows 7 genuine?

    Hi I have a 4530 HP's Probook which has Windows 7 Professional on this topic. I deleted the recovery partition and couldn't make it back so I went to digital river which is 100% free and legal Web site where you can download windows 7 as an ISO file. I did and I got Windows 7 Home Premium. So I downloaded the Home Premium ISO file and then I downloaded Daemon Tools Lite 4. And run the ISO on this software. It worked and now I have a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop now. But when I went to enter my product key a pop - up and says error product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows 7. You must run the installer of Windows 7 or enter a product key Windows 7 Home Premium.  So I went again downloaded Digital River Windows 7 Professional and he ran with daemon tools and it said that exactly this installation disc is not compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, see your computer's system information. To install a new copy of windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc, and then select custom (advanced option). What is the correct installation disc and how to get out of this mess. I prefer not to spend money just to let you know but if I have to. Thank you.

    Its sounds like you finally download the correct edition of Windows 7 for your machine (Windows 7 Professional), but its likely that you have downloaded the 64 bit version, which is not a problem. What you need to do is a custom starting from Windows 7 64-bit installation, cannot start the installer for a 64-bit version of Windows 7 32-bit version of Windows 7.

    In other words, will not be able to facilitate the installation of Daemon Tools. You'll either need to burn the. ISO file onto a blank DVD or create a bootable on USB with 4 GB of free space.

    Burn it to a blank DVD:

    ImgBurn - supporting the creation of CD more. ISO files,

    It supports a wide range of image file formats, and it's free.

    (BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, MDS, NRG, PDI and ISO)

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/display/G/Burning+ISO+images+with+ImgBurn

    Note: Use always slower burning (4 x or 2 x) speed is offered a choice.

    Create a bootable copy on a USB key:

    Once we have the .iso file, they may want to use the Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a DVD or bootable USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

    After preparing the installation media:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-from-a-Windows-7-installation-disc-or-USB-flash-drive
    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Portege P7220: Question about C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent

    I have a Portege P7220, bought in 2001 with Win2000. I tried to switch to XP, using the PCMCIA CD player I bought at Toshiba with the computer.

    1. in the first steps of the installation, he told me that I didn't have a CD player, with some info on "SCSI" which I did not understand, and he interrupted the installation of XP.

    2. I then restarted Windows 2000 and got a dialog box with the title 'NAV Autoprotect' and the message 'unable to launch C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent. If I close the dialog box, the system apparently works.

    Should I worry about warning dialog box? A way round the problem that I encountered when trying to install XP? Would appreciate advice.

    David

    Well, I found that "C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent" belongs to an old installation of Norton Antivirus, which I got rid of. But I have not found a solution to the problem of installing XP without recognizing the external CD drive.
