Sometimes when I restart my laptop I get this message: "no operating system found".
What should I do? I have only windows vista on my laptop and my system is clean and working properly.
Why I not get that?
After you receive this message, I press ctrl + alt + del then starts normally.
Hello
This problem may occur for a few reasons.
(1) hard disk cannot be read sometimes... maybe there are errors on the disc that 'may' be fix by running a utility or two.
(Open the computer and right click on the C drive and select Properties. Click on the Tools tab, and then click check now in the error-checking box.
You can also use the tool to defrag as well. It takes some time so do it when you don't need to do much.
You can also run the check disk from the command prompt. Click on START and type > order > press ENTER.
Type > chkdsk C: /f > press enter
Just a test to see if the problem happens again.
2) there is an intermittent problem with your hard drive.
Hard drive might be close to going out. You may need to get a new drive. You can make a backup of the system and restore to the new drive... IF that is the question.
It could be the drive is simply 'loose' and needs to be reset. Should be just one or a few screws to remove the disc. Simply plug in the back and see if that was the issue.
(3) the controller card has problems. It is bad on a laptop, because it would require a new motherboard... sending essentially to a store. If this would be probably covered under warranty.
The first option would certainly test carefully. If that does not do it, make sure that the disc is properly seated to make usre is not easy like that.
By all means, save all the files that you need to keep.
I hope this helps. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

See the other answer (s) you got but also note the following: the first thing to do is to ensure that there is no CD or DVD in the drive. If it and try to boot from it, you would probably get such a message.If there is not, there is a good chance that the hard drive is dead and must be replaced. -

Hi Nancy,.
The error message says anything else? Just, based on"C:\windows\pxtdmap.dll", I am unable to find a possible solution.

Error of the IDM
I suddenly have a problem when you try to download I get this message. "Cannot transfer to Internet Download manager." Error 0x8002801D in windows XP. Pleasw help to y for remedy.
Thank youHello
(1) what you're trying to download?
(2) how you try to download?
(3) what browser you are using to download?
(4) don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?
Step 1: This error occurs when your browser and IDM are set to run under different privileges.
Maybe you have set to run IDM with administrator rights. This is not correct. IDM Ouvrezledossier if please, right-click on 'IDMan.exe', select the 'Properties' menu item, switch to the "Compatibility" tab and uncheck the checkbox "Run this program as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image). In addition, you must remove the compatibility with previous versions of Windows if there is none activated (arrow 1 in the picture).
If this does not help, try to do the same for the executable file of your browser. In addition, turn off the feature with older versions of Windows and "Run this program as Administrator" checkbox.
Step 2: You may need to run IDM with administrator once rights to register its DLL files. Exit IDM using "Tasks-> output" of the main menu. Then right click on IDM launch icon in the Windows (arrow 1 in picture) programs launch menu and select "Run as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image).
Then exit IDM again and run normally.

I tried all the suggested 'fixes' and am still unable to join. My network has worked well until I installed W7. I can create a homegroup on any computer (I have 4 on the network), but no other computers can join. All I get when you are trying to reach is "impossible to create a homegroup on this computer". It is a problen very common, judging from all the complaints I've seen on the forums. With no exaggeration, there are thousands of people are unable to use this 'easy '... home network Please don't tell me to disable my firewall or computer time sync or one of the other "fixes" that do not help.
Hello
Since you're so desperate, you can configure the network to the office network.
It's a little more work than the collective dwelling, but the results are more flexible.
-----------------------------------------
Here you have the whole story because what Win 7 can make wise network.
Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.
Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.
Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous methods of theWorking Group sharing which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.
http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg
Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions
General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

* Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.
** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.
Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

I had virus protection total defence installed. This occurred immediately after.
Hello
Thanks for your answer to my question. I was about to start step 2, by performing a boot minimum when a message pops up informing that 2 programs were slowing down my computer and also to stop because they were also running. Ironically, these programs I've ever used has appeared on my computer advertising protection against viruses and to speed up the computer.
I did not purchase the license if it comes to start up all the 3 or 4 days telling me that my computer is slow.
I uninstalled both programs, which I won't mention for obvious reasons and the event system Com + message did not return after the computer has restarted 3 times. Apparently, the problem has been resolved, but I will continue to have oversight. If the problem returns I'll restart and inform you about the results. Thanks again for your expertise. guavaridgemb
