Satellite A100 cannot start due to virus

Hello, I'm new on these forums, please bear with me.

I have a SAT A100 with XP PRO OS.
I encountered a problem which I hope someone can help with.

Yesterday, I met the (W32. Virut.CF), I proceeded to get the symantec removal tool.
Travel requires safe MODE, I went to access safe mode when the system crashes.

I tried to reboot in safe mode: the result is (blue screen-stop 0x7B error).
I tried to restart the system normally: result I can connect but get popups.
userINIT logon APPLICATION - have all the problems and
the application service layer gateway - must close.
MS windows search protocol host-
System hold my wallpaper and it is she outside repeated popups MS windows search protocol host has a problem and needs to close.

These problems, I suspect that are the result of the virus, most of the problems I was able to untangle myself, but I did have to use the before recovery disk.

My question is I would like to restart on this disc, if possible, to deal with viruses, but I think that it can remove critical data from the input of the previous days, if I have to fully recover.

All this took place about 10-15 minutes, research tells me that it is a particularly nasty virus.

Thanking you in advance for any input.

Hello

You are right. Using the recovery disk will kill the virus, but it will also format the entire HARD drive and erase all partitions.
So, you will lose all data that was stored on the HARD drive!
But it would be the safest way to delete all infected files.

PS: The recovery disk is not the same thing as the common original Windows disc. You cannot use the recovery disk to access the OS installed. the recovery disc can only be used for the new installation image.

  • Error 244: The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.

    I have LabVIEW 2010 and, during Windows startup, this error message appears:

    "The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.

    (244): Please wait until the National Instruments PSP Service is running and try to start the DataFinder or restart your computer. »

    I got this pop error during the past year it's a recurring thing. He began to show a few months after installing the LabVIEW program on my computer, so I'm not sure on what caused this message still appears. I find that it causes also a delay in the start of my computer - my other startup applications starting to show only when I close the error window. Help, please! Thank you.

    Hi xcontradictorx,

    Looks like National Instruments PSP server locator cannot be started. Could go you to the control panel > administrator tools > Services and locate the server National Instruments PSP Locator? Double-click it and make sure that the service is started. If this is the case, stop and start again (just by pressing the stop and start buttons). If this is not the case, run it, and then go in the Recovery tab and choose restart the Service as long as the action of first, second and more about chess.

    If after changing the settings for the PSP the issue to continue service I think that for some reason any PSP service will just be started late for some reason any. Could you do a quick real test: disable the DataFinder in msconfig, reboot, then run the C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\Shared\DataFinderDesktop\bin DataFinder.exe. This should place the MyDataFinder app in your taskbar (that looks like a yellow gear).

    If this is successful, then we will have to change the order of startup services such as the DataFinder begins just after the service of the PSP.

    Try the following:

    (1) locate the DataFinder entry from the registry. Located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    (2) remove the entry DataFinder
    (3) add a shortcut to DataFinder.exe in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Startup
    (4) restart

    This should make all the standard Windows startup (as from services, etc.) and then launch the DataFinder.

    One question: do you use the DataFinder at all? Either with DIAdem or database search tool? If this isn't the case, you can try to remove it from the startup items. Simply go to start > run... and type "msconfig". Click the Startup tab, look for DataFinder and deselect. Click on apply. That will probably get rid of the error message.

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    4. who help and support files are you referring to?
    5. what exactly happens when you try to open it? You get the error message?

  • Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

    {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

    This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

    Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

    ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

    Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

    I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

    Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

    This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
    I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

    However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
    Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

  • Satellite A100-153 starts only occasional

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my Satellite A100-153. It does not start regularly. When the laptop is turned off and I want to start again, I can press the button and the fan will also and it seems to start but the screen remains black. I can repeat this several times. When I have the chance to try it suddenly works and Notepad starts and I see "Toshiba" Logo
    I see no reason for this odd behavior. It may be that it works really well and then I do a restart and then failure appears. All of a sudden. Without changing anything same not the position of the laptop. It is really strange.

    My warranty went for years and so I don't know if I have to give it to a local repair service or if I should send it to Toshiba. Does anyone know how expensives who can get?

    I don't know where is the problem. The display becomes competely white/white stripes sometimes appear. So I think it could be the graphics card but it works as long as I get it to start. And I also watched inside the laptop and everything seems to be fine.

    Maybe someone can help me or give me advice on the service costs repair Toshiba in Germany.

  • Re: Satellite A100 - cannot get video off the LCD screen

    Hi, I'm fixing a Satellite A100 for someone. I can't get the video on the LCD display, an external monitor, either the s-video port.
    The system turns on and you hear the fans from the looks of the lights, the HDD seems to start windows.
    I reinstalled the two RAM modules and tried to use the FN + F5, but no luck.

    Is there a common problem with these machines?

    Thanks in advance.

    > Y at - it a common problem with these machines?
    Sorry but I don't understand this question. I have 3 years old A100 (PSAA9E) and it works perfectly. If keyboard suddenly stop to answer should I think it may be a common problem with this model of laptop?

    Back to your problem: FN + F5 will work if the operating system is fully loaded. You hear sounds? You don't see anything on the screen?
    Experiment with RGB port also.

  • Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

    Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

    No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

    This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

    I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

    Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thank you.

    If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
    I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

    The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
    In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
    + Gets severely damaged.

    However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
    In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
    Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

    If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
    To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

    I hope I could help you.

  • Satellite A100 - cannot get an Internet connection

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100 and I can't connect to internet after seeing my reg / cleaned by uniblue, and for the love of me can't get a connection.

    I eat to get my hub connected to the internet, but my laptop just will not allow connection, it's a MCE and it works perfectly fine. I had so many divergent answers at different addresses, all ways said it that another provider has control or error 678. It seems that it's a question of access between the provider of my IP and my system provider does not communicate through this PROTOCOL and my XP PROFESSIONAL system.

    Can anyone help please?

    Hello

    To be honest your ad is a little difficult to understand, and doesn t contain all important information.
    Can you connect to the Internet through WLAN or LAN?

    What happens now exactly if you are trying to establish an Internet connection?
    Your router can connect to the Internet? What is the status now?

    If you have problems with your internet provider you must contact them directly. They can check your connection and make sure that you use the right connection information.

  • Satellite A100 - cannot find the recovery disk to restore to factory settings

    Hello
    I hope someone can help out me?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, model PSAANA-04E005 under Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 32-bit. I am wanting to sell, but have all my programs stuff etc I want to erase files and be able to convey simple with system also when I bought. Memory (purchased January 2007) gave me a Toshiba Recovery with this power drive do something if I needed it's of course is not the case to be foundI.

    Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

    Thanks heaps

    Hello

    If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
    You have the address of the guy?

    Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

    But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

  • Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

    Hello

    hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

    * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

    It offers the possibility of:
    "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

    I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

    Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

    I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  • Satellite A100: Cannot install recovery after having deleted the Ubuntu partition

    Hello friends,

    I have the Satellite A 100. I was using dual OS - windows vista home edition and Ubuntu. Now I wanted to remove Ubuntu and so I did the stupidest thing - directly delete the partition with Ubuntu which had the GRUB files. Then to the laptop computer restart of course the Grub bootloader wasn't there and if the computer is not started or load any OS. Then I thought that I will reinstall Vista with product recovery CD but the progress reached at 2% and then I keep getting error 1117 a failure to read. I tried so many times without success. I even tried to install XP, but it says Intel boot agent cannot make connection. And it also fails.

    Please help to reinstall Vista or XP. I'm really stuck and I learned a lesson not to tinker in mobile when it isn't those of Cup of tea!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    > Now if I download EasyBCD how would I be able to run it or how should I use it?
    You will not be able to run EasyBCD because you are not able to boot Vista.
    EasyBCD can be installed only in Vista and will allow you to change the Vista Boot Manager.

    I think you need to format the entire disk HARD again should erase all partitions and must attempt to reinstall Vista.

    I recommend using a free tool called GParted LiveCD. Google for what it helps format the HARD drive!

    Hello

    Have you installed original recovery image that you created on the USB key?

    Please try to install it again. Usually after installation of the own image of recovery your laptop should boot correctly.

    By the way: have you noticed this problem right after the installation, or later after some updates to install.

    Have you tried to solve it using Windows start-up settings?
