Try a system restore to before the problem:

Restore point:

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • When I install Greasemonkey. Firefox does not load. The process is, but the program does not appear. Even if no script installed. I have Aurora

    It was working fine until one time I don't know what happened.

    I've been OCing things lately so don't know if this has something to do with it. But I have the last Aurora and Greasemonkey and for some reason loads of process, but not the program. It appears at all.

    I had no idea what was originally there and a little started to remove one by one and found out who he was.

    I even tried to remove all scripts, but that has not worked.

    Tampermonkey works fine with Chrome atm. So, I do not understand. I have roughly the same installed scripts.

    For any information would help. I tried to ask questions about greasemonkey, but nothing at this ATM. My problem seems a bit unique, so I post here to possibly discover this. It bothers me not not using my scripts, I love.

    Hi HiteshAstan,

    one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?

    (b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account?  You get a specific error message?

    Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

     

    If the problem persists, you can deduct that the user account is corrupted

    Step 2: Create a new administrator account and then try to repair your user account

  • Firefox does not load with a certain wifi

    So I have this problem, Firefox does not load when I connect with a wifi but when I change my connection to different wifi, that's going to walk again.
    even if the first wifi works fine on my computer because I can connect to the internet with another browser.

    Many programs can "phone home" for the updates and such.
    These work yet?

    Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.

    Under Advanced, select network.
    Search for configure how Firefox connects and then press the settings button.
    If you use a proxy server, make sure that these settings are correct. If there is no
    proxy, first use No. Proxy. If there is a problem, then try Proxy system.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
    trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
    update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

    Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

  • Recovery DVD does not load

    Hi guys,.

    I use a HP Pavilion A6120N Vista. It has a SATA RAID 0 HD value.  Machine will not start. After ordering the HP Recovery Disk Set, I tried to run the program of recovery.  It displays a message that "Windows loading files...". ». When the progress bar is completed, I get a small bar (2 1/2 inch long) with a few lines on this subject moving from left to right.  Below I have the symbol of copyright and Microsoft Corporation.  But it makes no further along than that.  I put the devices to boot from first and second for the dvd player.  I tried to start with each of them the three DVDs.  I tried to start with disk 1, 30 minute wait and the withdrawal of disc 1 / insert disk two.  I tried booting with the UBCD and another bootable cd and then insert disc 1.  I tried to start with the two disc and pressing F11 I got "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press Enter". When I replace it with two disc, I get the same results as above.  Nothing works. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open for them.

    After trying on & more, I got another result.  Without the disc in the drive, if I do not press F11 at startup, I get a choice of starting recovery or start windows normally.  These two choices lead to the small bar mentioned above with the lines moving from left to right. If I press F11, it goes straight to "Windows loading files...". "and the little bar with lines.  I chatted with HP support and they said the 800 number.  They told me that the OS is corrupted which causes the restore disc does not load.  Now, I thought that starting a CD/DVD without going through the operating system.  What's in Vista?  Can he change?  I saw as a warning to the other cd/dvd drive (dvd - rw 16 x pbds dh-16a1L) requires an update of the firmware to recognize the HP recovery discs.  I have the drive HL-DT-STdvdrrw.  Could it have the same problem and it had not just been documented?  So far, I am at a total loss.

    Thank you

    AFAIK boot failure disk means one or both of the drives went bad or BIOS (F10) must be set to zero by default. So if the raid 0 Setup and a defective hard driveis then you need to get out that the hd and run recovery on the drive to work or wait until you get to another replaced.

    No, you do NOT have a corruption of the operating system, and Yes, the recovery disc bypasses the operating system on the drive. Windows Vista disk hard is not effect or prevent recovery disks because the disks will always wipe clean first the drive working.

    Try the following steps.

    (1) reboot the pc and go into F10 for installation (for vista)

    On the MAIN tab, check to make sure that your hard drives are both recognized where says 1st or 2nd disk, etc.

    It should look like WDC, SAMSUNG, ST... etc.

    (a) if it is not in the list, then check the SATA cable and power cables inside your computer to make sure it is plugged both ends properly and reconnect the cables to the two discs.

    (b) if only 1 disk is listed, then the other one may went bad on you and I would be the wrong drive breaker go back into the BIOS F10 menu and check that the right drive appears under you devices.

    I would then run a recovery disk of 1 until you replace it. In this case you will not have a raid 0 configuration more since she was only 1 player used.

    (2) try also reset the BIOS default settings by going to the menu of the BIOS F10 at startup and press F5, then press Yes then enter then F10, then Yes, then enter to restore the default BIOS settings.

    (3) after the reboot back to the BIOS menu and go right on the Startup tab and choose boot DEVICE PRIORITY and set the 1st boot device to the Group of HARD drive, then save the changes and exit the BIOS.

    If you want that you set the CDROM boot first yo group.

    You can also turn on the pc and press ESC to boot from the hard drive or a disk drive group.

    I recommend first resetting the default BIOS settings and check the devices first, before opening the pc.
