Stupid MS is unable to detect the operating system of W2KPSP4 but sees IE6SP1 user agent

It is ridiculous that Microsoft (coding of Web Pages webmaster) is unable to detect that a user entering the page has a (drop dead) of Windows 2000 Professional SP4 operating system (OS)...

and then always recommend (MS) install IE 8... When as far as I know... an IE8 installation cannot complete successfully on the OS W2KPSP4?

    No, you need the password. The Microsoft strategy for these forums banned help users circumvent passwords.

  • Unable to run the operating system on Toshiba Satellite L500

    Hello
    I can't get my Toshiba Satellite L500 13D PSLJ3E to work. Here is the chronology:

    1. I brought with Win Vista, it worked great for about 6 months, but began to slow and I decided to change to Windows 7

    2. I installed Windows 7 using custom install (create new folder 'windows', not upgrading to Vista). Once more, it worked fine for about a month, but once more, he ran into trouble - indicating the version of Windows 7 the screen blue of death for 0.5 seconds, followed by a reboot.

    3. I've been searching the net and they said that the best way to get rid of the problem is to re - install. I did (after trying it several windows repairs), but yes, that's right, he's dead - before you start windows, it showed problems with Realtek Wireless.

    4. I had hope that this third time - will work her charm and re-re-installed W7 (each time using new installation).
    Once more time - does not work, but this time I can't even install - windows installer stops at about 60 percent of expansion records and wrote: difficulties with the media device. And after restart I can not find the Hard Drive(the BIOS shows only FDD and CD/DVD)

    Now I'm stuck here, the only way to start the windows is in Mode safe on my Wondows installed on point 3, but not all the time.
    Unfortunately, the first of my recovery DVDs cannot start and on top of that I can't get into the recovery partition by pressing 0 at first upward, but I see the recovery Partition when I go to the WIndows Installer.

    PS: I have problems with the high temperature of the laptop.
    Is it possible that HD goes out to safe the data thereon for overheating?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean that the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS?
    This would mean that the HARD disk is dead.
    This would explain the Windows installation problems
    I don't very well why the HARD drive died after a short period of use, but it turns out that HARD drive might die always head m accidents are not unusual and sooner or later would die each HARD drive

    However, I don't see a real solution that you need to replace the HARD drive
    If the laptop is under warranty, then you might ask a technician ASP replacement that should be done for free

    Good luck

  • How to detect the operating system when running?

    I have a library that I use a mobile (android) and the office-air projekt. I want to code something like this (pseudo-code):

    If (OS is mobile/android)
    this.addFieldUIs (myPopUpList);

    ElseIf (OS == desktop)

    this.addFieldUIs (myDropDownList);

    Is it possible to archive this?

    You can try Capabilities.version. I used it to make the distinction between IOS and Android, and you can probably find Windows or Mac from that, too.

    This sounds like the BIOS failed in a different startup command, or
    you have a USB key that tries to start and failed (for what is obvious
    reason!)
    -Make sure you have nothing plugged in USB ports except your
    Mouse keyboard &, if necessary.
    then try a cold start
    If it works, then plug your USB stuff one at a time, each reboot
    time - see that it causes.
     
    If it doesn't, then check the Boot in the BIOS order - to ensure that
    the CD and HD are the first two devices (up to you that who!) and who
    Activate you the option "other devices balance"if it's there. "
     
    See if that cures it.

  • BlackBerry 9550 smartphones - cannot load the operating system and a re-boot loop

    Sorry if this is going to be a long post.

    I've been running OS 428 and a hybrid (428 based) since it was leaked without a hitch. 2 weeks ago, my 9550 rebooted on its own with a JVM ERROR 534 (I think it's the code because the screen just turned white with the error message and then rebooted on its own). He never started up properly then. The boot process dates back to about 3/4 of the way then the FMV of error appears again then re - start. A batt pull does not help.

    I wiped and loaded (loader.exe) operating system but when loading cod, it will again restart (reboot occurs when email.cod is loading). Tried several times and never loaded properly. I tried a load OS 428 right and it went well. When it is started successfully, I wiped the device and loaded the hybrid that I used before and everything was fine. When filtered 451, I upgraded and everything is fine - for a week!

    He has just restarted on its own again. I think with the same JVM error code! I'm unable to load the operating system using loader.exe. I even tried the "loader.exe /nojvm" switch does not. I wiped with Jl_cmdr or BBSAK, still no go. I then used DM BB. I loaded OS 320 and loaded correctly. Then I wiped and loaded the OS. It is not load or when it loads successfully, the JVM error still appears 3/4 of the way of the boot process.

    So when I load OS 320, it will load fine even after a battery pull. If I use OS 428 or 451 (both narrowed via Shrink-a-BONE), JVM error no longer appears when using the device or during the startup process. Don't forget not that previously I was using either straight (shrunken) 428 or 451 and a hybrid with no problems.

    I decided to try a derelict OS 451 and used the "Platform.alx" of OS 320 file. It works so far! Pulled the battery about 4 - 5 times already and loaded all my apps and no JVM error for about 2 days. I tried right OS 320 and he also re - will start on its own several times a day.

    It looks like completely wipe the device using BBSAK, Jl_cmdr and DM BB do not really completely clear the device.

    What could have caused the reboots and error JVM?

    EDIT: I tried to wipe the device using the erase option in the security options. The status bar has reached 100% and then restarting the device, the FMV of error pops up again and my 9550 goes back to a continuous process of reboot (even pulled the battery).

    EDIT: I tried the command line "javaloade.exe usb - cloth" to wipe the device and the OS loaded (using loader.exe /nojvm) very well. In the end, shippers said "updated successfully". The unit restarted and about 3/4 of the way - another jvm error! I removed the battery and wait a few minutes before re - insert and is currently the starting now... Will update what's going to happen...

    EDIT: Yes! It finally starts. Will try an another battery pull... 1/4 of the way in which the boot process - another JVM error! Pulled the battery and restart... Error JVM still about 50% in the boot process.

    EDIT: Can't get any OS to load using 'loader.exe' or 'loader.exe /nojvm. It stops during email.cod loading, then restarts. I was able to load OS 320 well via BB DM. problem is when I click on Options, error: "error starting net_rimm_bb_options_app: symbol KeywordFilteredScreen.» KeyChar "not found" is my watered device? Help, please. Thank you!

    EDIT: I tried to load the operating system by:

    -remove the battery.

    -Connect to the PC.

    -Command prompt: command /nojvm loader.exe

    -When it says connection to the device and the battery with a red 'X' icon is displayed, I re - insert the battery.

    -The operating system loads very well but are unable to properly start like 3/4 of the progress bar startup occurs an error in the JVM and then reboot again. Help!

    --> Was able to start properly after a second reboot not forced. Will try a battery pull... JVM error again... Will allow it to boot on his own w/o a battery pull...  Error JVM... Removed the battery, re - insert... Error JVM... allowed to start on its own... Error JVM!... I remove the battery and reinsert after 5 minutes... JVM error yet... What is it recharges without end?

    Just had my 9550's replaced and all of the good mother!

  • Sansa clip-drag & drop shockwave object corrupts - the error of the operating system "refreshing database".

    If by mistake, you drag and drop an object flash shockwave from your local directory from the PC to the sansa clip, corrupt you the operating system of the sansa clip.
