• Blue screen in Vista 7 just after the login screen

  We get a blue error screen 7th on Vista 64-bit SP1 right after the login screen appears.  The blue screen immediately goes, and system restarts (or sometimes just hangs).  I was not able to find the codes of the 7th in the research:

  (took a picture of the screen...)

  STOP: 0x0000007E (oxFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80002325C87, 0xFFFFFA60165BE3E8, 0xFFFFFA60165BDDC0)

  I am able to boot in safe mode.  Do you have a chkdsk C: /F and which did not help.  Do you have a repair system using the Vista startup disk and that did not help.   Went to safe mode and MSCONFIG and position the clean boot and that did not help.  I tried to update to SP2 and unable to complete safe mode.

  The ideas and the sage advice would be greatly appreciated.

  can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic

  Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
  Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-

  Bug Check 0x7E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
  

  Bug SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control has a value of 0x0000007E. This bug check indicates that a system thread threw an exception that the error handler did not.

  Important info if you received a STOP Code
  
  If you received a blue error screen, or a stop code, the computer stopped abruptly to protect against data loss. A hardware device, its driver or software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows is shipped with your computer, contact your computer manufacturer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact information for Microsoft or the manufacturer of your computer, Contact Support.

  If you have experience with computers and try to recover from this error, follow the steps in the Microsoft article solution STOP (blue screen) errors in Windows.

  These actions could prevent a mistake like this does not happen:

  1. Download and install updates for your computer from Windows Update device drivers.
  2. Scan your computer for computer viruses.
  3. Check your hard drive for errors.

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED parameters

  CAUSE

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
  interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

  Common exception codes are:

  • 0 x 80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.

  • 0 x 80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERTION was met when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.

  • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

  For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
  the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

  Solve the problem

  If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

  • Make sure you have enough disk space.
  • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
  • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
  • Try changing video cards.
  • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
  • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

  If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
  (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

  If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
  has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
  Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

  In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

  If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

  • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
  • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
  • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
  • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
  • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

  If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
  or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
  sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
  Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
  in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

  If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
  control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
  by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

  Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
  device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

  You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
  Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
  For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
  Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
  BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
  space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
  the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
  contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
  free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

• Black frozen 300 to the login screen

  Can't do anything with it. Can not connect, cannot turn off. Nothing. Totally frozen. This occurred after a driver update. Any suggestions or is it dead?

  I was able to make it work. I had to hold the key to power + 15 seconds to power off. Then I attached the keyboard. I booted up and it came in portrait mode with the connected keyboard. I connected it but the monitor came in portrait, which is really weird when the display is connected to a keyboard. So, I have attached a mouse for easier movement of the cursor. I went to the display settings and changed landscape which is how I use it in tablet mode. Locked the landscape view. Stop. Removed the keyboard. Started and connected. Display came in landscape mode so everything is GTG. I guess that Intel display driver update default portrait mode Tablet without a keyboard. Don't know why I wasn't able to get the login box appears without the keyboard. Maintain 300 black loading other software and I had left no processor. In any case, as I wrote above all is GTG at least for the moment. If nothing else I learned something about Intel display updated driver on a tablet or 2 in 1.

• Problems with VPN tunnels after the upgrade to PIX 7.0

  It seems that Cisco has revamped the VPN process on the new Version of PIX 7.0.

  After I've upgraded, I noticed that AH (i.e. ah-sha-hmac, ah-md5-hmac) was no longer supported and all my container transformation games OH no were not converted.

  Another question, if you have enabled on Versieon 6.3, names when you upgrade, tunnel groups will be created (formerly "identity isakmp crypto, crypto key isakmp peer ') which will include a hostname (hostname of identity) instead of IP as it was to the point 6.3. Guess what... Nothing works! Having to delete and recreate it using the IP address.

  See an example...

  tunnel-group OTHER_END type ipsec-l2l

  IPSec-attributes tunnel-group OTHER_END

  pre-shared-key *.

  The above does not work... Having to recreate using the IP address mapped to OTHER_END...

  tunnel-group 2.2.2.2 type ipsec-l2l

  2.2.2.2 tunnel-group ipsec-attributes

  pre-shared-key *.

  Furthermore, I have problems with my racoon and freeswan extranet... Did someone recently updated with success and other gateways VPN provider (i.e. checkpoint, Freeswan and Racoon) work?

  We found the solution for this problem. It appeared that the perfect forward secrecy is enabled at the other side. If a 'card crypto outside_map 10 set pfs' is necessary. With the pix 6.3 version that appears not to make the difference, the vpn works even with pfs disabled on the side of pix.

• Problem writing to XML after the dialog box

  I use ScriptUI to create and update XML in a document (using the Document.XMLElements methods).

  Before opening a ScriptUI window, I can read and write XML without problem.

  But after opening a window with some ScriptUI resources, I can only read the existing XML BUT NOT WRITE!

  My write method is called by a key event:

  ...

  var myXMLRootNode = / * instantiated * /.

  ...

  myWindow.okButton = / * instantiated * /.

  ...

  myWindow.okButton.onClick = function() {myXMLRootNode.xmlElements.add (myTag, object)};

  myWindow.show ();

  ...

  It seems that the onClick callback works OK for reading (I can recover all existing values without problem), but not for writing.

  Any idea?

  Hey!

  Well, the thing is that you must close the dialog before first in writing in order to document.

  myWindow.okButton.onClick = function(){myWindow.close(1);};
  
  var myWin = myWindow.show();
  
  if(myWin == true){
      myXMLRootNode.xmlElements.add(myTag, object);
  }
  

  I hope that helps!

• Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

  Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

• Problem blackBerry Q10 has after the last 10.2 OS update

  Hello

  I recently received a notice of update for OS 10.2 on my phone and everything went well.

  However, when I try to take a picture, I noticed that my media card is no longer recognized. I know all my photos and apps are still there, but I was wondering why it rises more?

  It is not available when you try to send files or via the file manager.

  I turned off the phone and it was restarted by removing the battery too.

  Help, please

  Thank you.

  Since you have done a battery pull I would make sure that the card is firmly connected. Try to remove and then do a battery pull and then after the re-start, insert the card and re - start again. Have you tried the media card into a computer to make sure that it is always good and readable? Also, when in-camera slide down to settings and make sure that you "save on media card" "lit".

• Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

  I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

  Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!
