• When I log into Windows, the login screen does not appear, how can I fix?

  I am running Windows XP Professional.  When I start my computer, it works fine.  I can log on and have no problem.  Unfortunately, when I log into my profile, Windows logon screen does not appear.  I use the log on screen where you have to manually type your user name and password.  The HP wallpaper happens, but the log in box does not work.  Better yet, it is not always the case.  I logged on and outside several times without any problems to come back later and find the log in box missing.  The only way I can solve the problem is to manually shut down the computer using the power button then restarting him.  I have no idea why this is happening or how I can fix this problem.  Any ideas?

I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

• Windows XP Movie Maker does not recognize Canon camera

  Windows XP Movie Maker does not recognize my camera Canon HF R10.  Canon is also not listed as a brand for the digital display when I connect the device to the computer.

  Windows XP Movie Maker does not recognize my camera Canon HF R10.  Canon is also not listed as a brand for the digital display when I connect the device to the computer.

  =========================================
  Movie Maker has been designed to download from mini-DV cameras
  connected with FireWire... (they record at small cassettes... not
  flash drives)

  The best would be to download the video files in a folder on your
  hard drive... convert the WMV movie format and then import
  in Movie Maker.

  If you connect the camera via a cable USB and go to... My computer...
  It should be recognized as a drive. If it's... you can download it from
  there by copy and paste or drag and drop.

  Good luck...

• Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

  Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

  Thanks for the reply.

  There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

  I managed to fix the problem after:

  -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
  -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
  -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
  -reboot the system
  -reconnected the external HD
  -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

• Tecra M5: Impossible to duplicate on two screens, with windows vista nvidia driver does not work

  I have installed windows vista 32-bit, the bios updated and all the drivers from the official Web site of toshiba, if I put a second screen resolution of my lcd screen to 1024 X 800, but in the external screen does not receive a signal.
  If I start the tecra with the connected external escreen account signal in this area, no signal on the lcd screen.

  Please help me think this laptop is for my boss
  Thank you

  Post edited by: abelbass

  Hello

  AFAIK the Tecra M5 came with the graphics card Intel or nVidia.

  On laptops with nVidia graphics card, you can set a different option in nVidia Desktop Manager. for example allow several computers to office
  You should find it in the control panel.

  Unfortunately, I put t know exactly where the parameters are placed in the nVidia Manager because this notebook was shipped only with Windows XP but I'm sure that you will find.

  Good bye

• Windows XP does not recognize my passwords

  I have windows XP home installed on my PC.  Recently, windows froze so I restarted the pc and after the regular windows picture message, I get an error about the lsass.exe file... Sorry I don't have the exact message, but there (000005) in the text.
  -tried safe mode and get the same message before I can connect.
  -recovery mode I tried, when asked to enter the admin password, windows does not recognize it
  -tried net 'user' at the command prompt to change the password, windows does not recognize this command is
  -installed windows on another hard drive (D :), created a new user, not asked to create a password when I boot this - version of windows, I am required to enter a password, but none of my passwords for this new user or admin user, or empty, seem to work)
  -I is not an option to choose about aid
  Is there something I can do to get into windows?
  I need to access some personal files before I format and reinstall - last resort

  I posted the Question below, but I found the solution to my problem.

  I've used 'control userpasswords2' from start - RUN then unchecked the box who says:

  "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."

  I thought this would prevent user account to request a password.

  IN FACT, THIS CAUSED MY PROBLEM.

  It might work for XP Pro, but it does not work in XP Home Edition. In the publishing house it still ask for a password or it could give you this message at startup.

  "Unable to log on because of an account restriction"

  After finally getting back to my account. (I got lucky in after the restart of some).  I also had a lot of error messages in the error log (use start-help & - aid) which reads:

  "The entry in the hash map cannot be updated. Context: Application, creates catalog Details: a device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f).

  I have no idea what it means.

  Anyway,.

  "I had to go back and double checked the box to start - run -" control userpassword2 ' for users to enter a user name and password.  After that, I went to start - settings control panel, then user accounts. I clicked on each user account under account to change and delete the user password.  Now I have to enter a password everytime I log in, or if I change my USER account.

  I hope you find this useful and should not lose a day on this problem.

  See you soon,.

  ------------------

  I also have windows XP home installed on my PC with 2 user accounts. I use to be able to click on each user account and access my programs. There are about 4-6 months then asked me for a password. This must happen after an MS updated because I haven't changed anything on my PC for years.  I could not agree to 'nothing' as password, so I created one and it worked.

  After a MS recent update access (last week), whenever I want to a user account, I wonder the password. If it times out at the Welcome screen or I want to change my user account, it asks for my password, but then it says sorry... You forgot your password?  I have to restart every time I want to access my accounts or access the second user account.

  First of all, why is - what happens when it's never happened before?

  Second, how to fix?

  I want to connect to a user without password (initial configuration) account

  Or I want to connect and stay connected with a password.

  I DON'T want to restart my PC whenever I want to use my computer.

  Thanks in advance.

• Windows 8 Photo Gallery does not recognize images library

  I can see my Facebook photos in the photo library.

  2 copy a few files inside image

  3. Add to the library using the desktop/Explorer/library interface

  4 re - index and wait until it ended

  Number 4) helped to me exactly the same problem:
  I just removed the folder my pictures from the picture library and put again; I'm guessing that the reindexing did the trick.

  Although a little concerned why this happens in the first place. I have absolutely nothing: he worked 2 (*) days, then no new program installed, not even new photos imported, maybe some updates for Windows and kaboom. Everything disappeared from the Photos app (everything from my computer, SkyDrive worked all the time.)

  (*) My installation of Windows 8 is now 5 days old. It took 2.5 days to find this answer. Uninstall + Reinstall and other stuff suggested did not help.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?
