start & close questions

On my WinXP tablet, I seem to always get several boxes for a restart or stop it can not stop a program that is used in the background, I guess that. I always have to click end now on boxes of 5 or 6. One is usually iexplorer.

At startup, I often see (maybe always) this box noting some server problem (I'm not on a network such as this is a stand-alone tablet at home with a router internet sharing). This dialog offers choices such as switch to and try again. Don't know what to do, because both seem to go to normal boot.

We would need to know the exact text of the error messages, including the name of "some program". If not corrected by managing which runs in the background:

Always start making sure that your computer is free from virus/malware:

Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

    Hi, I bought Final Cut Studio with FCP 5 a few years for video personal edition, updated the studio for FCP7 when it came out, and memory, it came with a great tutorial from Apple Pro Training called Blue Horizon trailer. I remember what you accessed through the edit in FCP, movement, sound editing title STP and finally creating the DVDs in DSP.

    I have not used the FCP in a long time now and I start my drone video and GoPro as well as many tables with sequences DV and HDV from my son since his birth I finally want to bring together all the best clips in a movie memories.

    I come to reinstall Final Cut Studio that I continued to read THAT FCPX wouldn't my camera Sony HVR - A1E. I thought I'd go through the tutorial Apple once again as a reminder, I first noticed that the movement is disabled then thought that I should skip this part. Anyway after importing the first 4 bands, I downloaded the trail of FCPX and it is important both DV and HDV form my device without any problems. So now I am seriously considering the purchase of FCPX, before I do I just have a few questions.

    1. I noticed PLEASE get more, I have to buy something in addition to FCPX or it will do what I need?

    2. what I need to buy Motion or FCPX not good titles? Even though I have an intro video in After Effects, I would like to import into, but as his record as a. MOV, I should be able that it is sufficient to include in the FCPX scenario?

    3. do I need to buy compressor for the weird film? Most will target only YouTube, Vimoe, FB, iPad. Only the video of my son may end up on DVD.

    4. what you use today instead of DVD Studio Pro because it is not in the Mac App Store?

    Sorry that was long... I just wanted you to be aware of my needs to get the right answers, I hope.

    Thank you very much

  • Windows Live Family Safety - menu start closes

    I have recently installed Windows Live Family Safety on two desktop computers.  Menus to start the computer both are now practically unusable.  The start menu closes / disappears in the opening moments.  It took several attempts to be fast enough to click on start, then on the button restart button.

    After many attempts, I was able to open the control panel.  In the Parental controls window, down under additional controls. I changed the selected provider of Windows Live Family Safety to zero.  Without even closing the window of Parental control, the start menu resumed its normal operation.  When I cycle between zero and Windows Live Family Safety menu start immediately works or does not work according to the configuration.

    Given that he is on both computers is a setting in WLFS or this, I chose a big bug that makes unusable WLFS?  (Hard to believe)

    All windows updates have been applied and multiple reboots have been attempted.

    I would like to use the product and would appreciate any help.

    The issue seems to have resolved itself.  I don't know if WLFS needed to synchronize with a server, or which solved the problem.  When I came back to this computer the next day, however, the start menu was working fine.

    Although this is resolved itself, I found mention of this issue in an online journal of magazine and in another forum of responses, so I hope that Microsoft will continue to address the issue.

  • Oracle database won't start - Interview Question? How to answer Interview in short-

    Hello people

    I am Java programmer, trying to gear to Oracle DB, attended a few Interview.

    So far in the Interview they ask this question "How do troubleshoot you if Oracle database is not running / does not start?

    Since I have no experience in real time.

    I would say that I'll go and do a TNSPING, check the Listerner.ora entries. If Windows I will tell me that I'll check Services.

    but so far, it seems that they are not happy with my answer.

    So I ask each of you to tell me how I should answer.

    Thank you

    but so far, it seems that they are not happy with my answer.

    So I ask each of you to tell me how I should answer.

    I know it's the open question but how should I tell them in a nuttshell.

    Well - until now I disagree with ALL of the other answers!

    IMHO the FIRST STEP in ANY troubleshooting task is to CONFIRM that the problem really exists.

    The KEY part of this confirmation is to get ALL the information available to the person reporting the issue. In an interview which is SIMPLE - the person reporting the issue is sitting right in front of you. So instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off you should begin by asking a few key questions:

    1. you said that the data is not running

    a. IS IT supposed TO BE running - that would be my VERY FIRST question!

    b. How do you know this? A user did report it to you? Have you tried to use yourself?

    c. How do confirm you the DB was down? Have what measures you taken?

    d. What do you mean by DOWN? Stone cold dead? Running but not accessible to business users? Running but inaccessible to anyone including DBA?

    e. what other information you have about the problem? Have you checked the log of alerts? When was the last time it was running normally? What could have happened since then to bring it down? There were backups or scheduled maintenance tasks?

    2. you said that it does not start

    a. How do you know this?

    b. did you try to start it yourself?

    c. how the restart was attempted? how much? where (what machine)?

    d. what command they use? They use 'EM? Or a console?

    (e) what has been the result? What has been the response on the console (if the console has been used) what has been the result if EM has been used?

    Your answer to that seemingly simple question should have been to about a dozen questions of your own like I did just above. There is NOTHING to do, IMHO, before getting THE news AND ALL of the one who reports the problem - that includes interviewers.

    Disappoint my more great in interviews is when otherwise intelligent people are so reluctant to ask questions to get the information they need to understand and confirm the question/problem.

    The above is why I "disagreed" with the other responses made so far. Certainly, the alerts log is important and must be checked. But it's a lot easier knowing what the person concerned (interviewer) know asking them just before starting to run. As far as we know that the interviewer was ready to tell you what the alert log say if you just ask.

    My rule #1 in an interview: ASK QUESTIONS!

    Anyone who is not asking questions in my interviews gets demerits. I can train someone how to solve problems and perform DBA tasks. But I found it almost IMPOSSIBLE to tell when they don't know something if they don't ask questions or tell me "I don't know".

    If someone just asking these questions above this would indicate to me that they know how to FIND the information they need, even if they don't know yet how to use this information.

  • Satellite T130-hard disk/disk-Start Up question

    Hello

    I have a T130 2 years old that I use every day for work and have known no problem at all with him until a few days ago, when I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, to power.

    I checked all of my updates were up-to-date they are as far as I am aware of the Tempro and Windows. I did an AVG scan and nothing came out of the ordinary there and I'm still more than a third of the space on my hard drive.

    Everything was going well for a few days then yesterday when I tried to turn on the laptop wouldn't turn on at all--after several tries, on what he finally came and I kept it in sleep/stand by mode until I find what is happening. I ran the Diagnostic PC tool and everything is coming as a PASS except for the hard disk which appears in case of FAILURE. My USB pen is not registered when I try to use it. That said when I checked the PC Health Monitor, it says that my HARD drive was working and that my hard drive was 'good '.

    I assume from the above that there can only be one disk hard question - what is my next step? This kind of thing is easy to repair? Am I covered for what is a matter of product and less than five years, since I bought the laptop?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is not present in the BIOS, you will need to replace the HARD drive with a new one.
    Do you know how to access the BIOS?
    Switch on and press the F2 key. Now, you should check the first page of the BIOS. Usually the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive must be included with all the details.
    If the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

    To my knowledge, you could use a simple 2.5 HDD.
    Here is a beautiful statement containing a few photos and film how to replace HDD on T130 series.

  • Satellite U300 - 14Q starts plus-question of warranty

    Hello!!

    I bought my computer laptop last may in Spain, and today, I couldn't t start.
    I can start my computer t, so I m really worried about it, because I live in Berlin for 2 months.

    Can I send my computer to any service near Berlin Center? Or other service center in Germany, even if I bought it in Spain?

    I strongly need my data files that I save on my computer.
    If I open the laptop and take from inside my hard drive before sending, I don't he's losing the warranty?

    Thank you very much

    Well, Toshiba notebooks are covered by the guarantee big world so usually the ASP from Toshiba in Germany should be able to help too.

    > If I open the laptop and take from inside my hard drive before sending, I don't he's losing the warranty?
    Well, the HARD disc is placed at the bottom of the device and the cover of the HARD drive can be removed and you will not lose the guarantee. I think more details you will get from the ASP.

    But you said that your computer laptop doesn't boot.
    Please check if this will help you start Notepad;
    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    -wait for about 30-40 min and bring together the two sides for the laptop
    -try to turn on the laptop

    If this will not help you then it s time for the ASP.

    Thank you very much.

    You have another version of Office or Word installed (test or other) on your machine?

    Have you tried the repair as suggested by the message?

    If you perform a reinstallation of Word, try right-clicking on the actual Setup.exe and choosing the option "Run As Administrator"?  Perform, even if your user name is an administrator.

  • Dell Inspiron 14Z 5423 windows 10 start-up questions?

    Hello

    I've updated my laptop (inspiron 14Z 5423) to windows 10 July 29. After the upgrade, wifi wifi settings and options don't appear in the settings menu. I tried to run the dell diagnostic tools but all results are reported as 'past' (how could it happen?..) and I thought it might be due to driver problems and tried to re - install the wifi drivers. to my surprise, I couldn't find the drivers on the dell site and after making "detect label service for the driver update." ... He says that drivers are up to date.

    So... after the disappointment full... I have restored my OS on windows 8.1 and everything worked fine. Once August 1st... a menu jump on my cell phone saying... .your laptop computer is good to upgrade as the team tested DELL and no sign of any problems... blah blah. I thought that maybe this time the upgrade can run and updated my OS... and again disappointed to notice that wifi has not detected in windows 10. .the without option... I tried the "Reset" option in windows 10 to clean install.

    This time wifi worked and I am happy and 'sound' has not detected. Yet once ran all the dell diagnostics... all the results show 'passes '. Tried to download the dell sound card drivers... dell site but I could not see anything in the site

    When running the tests in the start menu... I met error blue screen and then my laptop could not start and I heard only 3 beeps?

    Tried to reset the button located under the latoptop... but no use. All other users 14Z facing the same issue?

  • XPS Desktop PCIe 8900 close question

    I am trying to add 2 small PCIe cards for the 8900 XPS running WIndows 10.  One is for IEEE1394 Firewire support, the other for additional USB ports because the front youssef for Firewire also has USB ports, so might as well use them.

    My problem is that when I install these 2 cards PCIe and plug a power cable between one of the spare SATA cables & PCIe cards every time I try to stop Windows 10 system restarts instead!

    VERY irritating!  In almost 50 years playing with computers I have met a great many who refuse to start when you want, but not very many, who refuse to stop!

    (I checked in Device Manager and none of the devices are set to wake the computer)

    All suggestions greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Thank you Dan. h.

    I was hesitant to try this after spending 2 days to finally get the disc system transferred and works correctly on a SSD and not sure how that can be incurred.

    However, the problem seems now to have been resolved!

    Both cards PCIe, I was working on that said that no additional drivers on Windows 10 did, Windows will take care of this fine - BAD!

    Then Device Manager I noticed the drivers to use & then uninstalled the drivers for the new cards.  Then run the drivers supplied by the manufacturer & rebooted the system.  Device Manager recontroler that shows exactly the same drivers installed after the reboot.

    But - then when I stopped it all worked normally and has done for the last two days!  So presumably manufacturers drivers did something for WIndows drivers.  Or maybe even something for the cards themselves?

  • Power / Start Up question - q9h

    in the last days, the q9h phone started rebooting randomly.  yesterday, the phone wouldn't start at all without the help of the charger.  When it is plugged into the wall charger, it starts, but he never finds a signal, the circle with a line through it appears.  After the activation of start with the capabilities of the phone, the phone turns off automatically after 30 to 60 seconds.  However, if I put it in airplane mode, the phone not turn off automatically.  When it is plugged into the usb port, it shines only blue, no power, no State of charge indicator.

    When it is plugged into the wall, and before I turn it on, a red x appears, followed by the full charge status indicator.

    I tried the SIM in another phone, it works.  I have two batteries, two bt60 and have tried both, still no fix.

    Yet once, it does nothing if it is not plugged into the wall.    He did try and charge the battery... starts with a red x, and then immediately give the indicator for a charge complete.  I've looked through some messages, but have not seen a similar situation, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Even if you said it worked on other phones, I think you may have a bad SIM card. Looks like the phone crashes when the SIM card is inserted. Try to pick up a new with an ATT store.
