SP3 XP hangs when disk access

XP crashes after a few seconds during disk access, even when running in Mode safe or started at the command prompt, but faster in normal mode

I guess you are talking about hard disk access and not a CD/DVD disc access. If I'm not mistaken, your hard drive is probably faulty and you should test it.

Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

    Not help not to restart normally.  The only way I could fix is by turning it off for a while, and turning back on later.  But even if it does not work 50% of the time.  Restarting over and over again does nothing; the computer still plays the same, no network icon / freezing when you access network resources.  Once he decides to however works, the computer has internet/network connectivity and no problems until what it is off again.

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Make a custom page when you access the URL of the root of a Web application

    A BC blog post says it's now possible to "make a custom page when you access the URL of the root of a Web App site. For example, if you have a "blog" Web App, items can be made available to/blog/my-blog-post, and you will be able to customize the page/blog"

    Is this possible? It doesn't for me due to unique URL problem yet.

    For example the web page is / banksy - Guide of Banksy

    But web app components must be on/banksy/web-app-item but need to change to/banksy-editions / Banksy choose your weapon (green) | Gallery hang up Banksy Guide

    I don't see any documentation, support BC do not know and ask me the Forum to discuss. Someone at - he found a workaround?

    Thank you

    Paul

    You have a page with the same name as you want for the web application folder.

    1 remove this page from banksy (Dungeon of backup of your content)

    2. change your url web app for /banksy you need

    3. create a folder called /banksy (it will allow you to make a folder)

    4. create an index.html in the folder of Banksy page - put your content to the page that you deleted here

    You will then have an index for the file page and the web application will work...

    /Banksy - index page

    /Bansky/ - index page

    /Banksy/index.html - index page

    / web banksy/something - point app

  • What can I do to prevent Firefox from hanging when I leave after having tried all the suggested fixes?

    Running Windows 7 with all updates. Starting with version 29.0.1 of Firefox, Firefox often hangs when I go out. When you restart Firefox, I get "Firefox is already running but is not responding... ». I then have to manually stop firefox.exe * 32 front I can restart the program. I applied all of the suggested fixes (disable all addons, extension and themes), and made sure I can delete the parent.lock file. Also noted the closing delay mentioned with Vista user. I have the error message occur several minutes after the release of Firefox, although I have often used the X button at the top of the right screen to exit Firefox always without any problems in the past. The function of this key has changed too?
    In any case, I use now exit the menu button drop down, but still have the problem of blocking.

    This is a bug in Firefox 29 where Firefox crashes out when the setting 'clear history of Firefox closing' is selected.

    If you use custom settings for history in your Firefox Privacy options and selecting 'Clear history of Firefox closing', remove the checkbox. See this article for more details:

  • Piece of Apple's music hangs when downloading

    Hello

    Very often when I play an album on Apple music track hangs when downloading. Download line is blue, but nothing happens. Sometimes, after a long while, is starting. When I double click on the track, he goes to the next and when I double click on it once again the track begins to download and play immediately. It is with iTunes on Mac OX 10.11.5 12.4.1.6. It was the same with previous versions. The Internet connection is fine when I test if a track is suspended. I have to add that I am using Airplay, but it makes no difference what camera I'm streaming to.

    Best regards

    Werner.

    Hey wdonne!

    It is important to be able to download music and listen to it unless it is interrupted. So, lets take a look and see which is the cause because you mentioned that what is also happening on previous versions.

    First, take a look at this article here that helps out with downloads not completing: If an iTunes Store purchase suddenly stops downloading

    We want to do is to reinstall iTunes to see if it would deal with the issue if the steps above does not.  Here, this article gives you the steps on how to do it: OS X El Capitan: reinstall the applications that came with your Mac

    If it still does not after you complete these steps, we need to isolate the problem more far away to see what is the cause.

    What we want to do next is to test in an new user account and the Safe Mode to see if it works or not.  (Please note that Safe Mode, he would not listen to you, but it would allow you to see whether or not the download ends.) After these two, it allow you to isolate the problem more far away to see what is causing the problem.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • How can I make my Web site the image that appears when I access firefox?

    It was that, when I became firefox, the screen that came was my Web site. Then people AVG signed with an issue any that I of course answered the wrong way, because now when I access firefox, I get the bloody AVG Web site. How can I fix this back to what it was?

    First of all, check your homepage settings in the Options dialog box. These two articles describe where to find who and how to upgrade:

    Then, try to press Ctrl + n to start a new window. It should display your home page. If it still shows AVG, either:

    (1) someone posted a screen shot of the screen AVG showing a link somewhere (maybe just less?) that allow you to disable AVG showing up while keeping their extension active. You could try that.

    (2) you can disable one or more of your extensions. There is a good chance that it will be an extension of AVG. You can do this on the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Can find you it?
