  Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

  1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

  If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

  1 unplug the appliance.

  2. restart Windows XP.

  If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

  For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

  (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

  Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

  If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

  Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

  If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

  1. reboot the computer.

  2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

  4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

  a. copy the text of the error message.

  b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

  http://support.Microsoft.com

  (http://support.microsoft.com)

  c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

  d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

  If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

  If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

  Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

  If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

  If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

  If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

  To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

  a. restart the computer.

  (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

  d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

  If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

• Change 'Start Up' of the elements in the System Configuration utility

  I tried to remove some the startup items in order to speed up my computer. When I run msconfig and I select "Start" and then check the items to delete, after I selected "Apply" I get a message that basically said... "Access error was returned. You may need to log on as an Adminitrator s changes. As far as I know, I am an administrator as ever, I added all the extra accounts and I always connect under the default account titled original HP administrator.

  In addition, what are the elements are indeed necessary on this menu? Some of them I know but there is a number, I have no idea.

  MSConfig has been designed to be a troubleshooting tool, not a "Start Configurator".  Use MSConfig to determine the location of the command who tries to start the program, and then remove it.  To stop the selective startup notifications, either return your settings to the way they were, or permanently remove unwanted programs from your startup configuration.

  In most cases, with 'good manners' applications, it is usually as simple as opening the unwanted program and deselect the "Show icon in the system tray" option or "launch at Windows startup.

  In addition, look in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Menu Menu\Programs\Start files and in the system registry, mainly in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key.

• In Windows XP system configuration utility only shows not the size RAM full

  Original title: msconfig boot.ini points MAXMEM 2048 (when it is installed 2560 MB)

  Hello.. a noob here,

  system: DELL Dimension 4600, P4 3 GHz, Windows XP 32 SP3
  2560 MB RAM is correctly installed
  (2.56 GB of RAM reported by 'System')
  (2.62 GB of RAM by TaskMgr)

  but, when I SPEAR
    "msconfig" ... then click on: BOOT. INI' tab...
  then... Then click on 'Advanced Options'.
  check/uncheck...  " / maxmem Maxmem "
      2048 is displayed and CANNOT BE INCREASED (?)

  How can I have this option / 'right' have the value
  physical memory (RAM) of real system (installed / Total).

  Note: System runs great, it's just a gene... (I think?)

  thnx

  T O

  just for fun... I edited the BOOT. INI and included: /maxmem = 2560 switch:

  • [update BOOT. INI]
    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Edition family "/ maxmem = 2560/fastdetect / noexecute = OptIn

  Although this change does NOT effect my symptoms, it has hurt anything either...

  Apparently, this switch works widely different from that

• system configuration utility has stopped working on vista home premium__

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  If you had READ my answer, it explains what you have to do on a Vista DVD: borrow a.

  The manufacturer's recovery disk do not normally allow you to use it to solve problems.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you can't borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, read the info below on how to get Vista reinstall Media:

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/homeLenovo.do

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  If mean you the System Configuration utility, click Start, run, and in the type box:

  Msconfig

  Click OK to open the System Configuration utility.

  If you want to see on your current XP configuration information, click Start, run, and in the type box:

• ProDesk 600 G1 BIOS configuration of the TPM secure through the BIOS Configuration utility

  We have a range of devices, computers HP desktop and laptops in our environment.  Devices are all running Windows 7 64 bit and should have Bitlocker enabled, but we found that some were not encrypted.  So I am trying to set up a remote BIOS and Bitlocker config activate software that we can get out via SCCM and then embed in a task sequence image for new machines.

  I use the Bios HP Configuration utility to check a BIOS password is set and then activate the TPM chip.  I took a BIOS config output of each of our models and created a settings file that has all of the TPM associated parameters of all models.

  At the moment I run Setup BIOS utility manually for testing.  On all models I tried that works very well, except for the 600 ProDesk G1 SFF.

  When I run the utility on the ProDesk 600 G1 MFS, it says that I have managed to update the settings, and when I check the BIOS, the TPM secure has been unhidden and the TPM Management was given to the operating system (two settings I change), but the TPM itself remains hidden.

  It's the release of the BIOS configuration utility (it uses the 2.60.13.1 version, which uses plaintext passwords.  I also tried with the 3.0.13.1 later version that uses password files - same result)

  C:\ > BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cspwd: "password" set: "TPM_Config.REPSET"
  
  < BIOSCONFIG Version = "2.60.13.1" Computername = 'HP600G1' Date = "24/07/2014" Time = "13:01:37 ' UTC '1' = >"
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Embedded Security Device" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [hidden device]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [device]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Enable security on the next boot" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "The BONES of on-board safety management" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SUCCESS msg = "Successfully set BIOS config." / >
  
  < information msg = 'BCU return the value' real '0' = translated = '0' / >
  
  < / BIOSCONFIG >
  
  C:\ >

  And after a reboot (where it should activate the TPM), BIOS shows as disabled built-in safety device (see attachment for the image).

  I have tried everything I can think of to get this to activate, including:

  • Different versions of the BIOS configuration utility
  
  
  • Remove the password from the BIOS and the application in the same order as the parameters
  
  
  • Different passwords
  
  
  • Reboot and allowing the machine to start completely to Windows before checking if the setting took effect

  I also tried to add the utility and the commands for an SCCM package and it works directly and as part of a sequence of tasks to see if that makes a difference, but nothing I've done has activated the TPM module.

  I know that the TPM module works, as you can turn it on manually and then Bitlocker can be applied to the machine, but with thousands of devices in our environment, I need to get this job without the need for manual intervention.

  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?  Or has someone at - he managed to activate the TPM on the SFF of 600 ProDesk G1 using the BIOS Setup utility?  Any ideas / suggestions would be very appreciated!

  P.S. This thread was moved from the company PC - Compaq, Elite, Pro for HP PC Client management. -Hp moderator of the Forum

  This problem has now been resolved by HP.
  
  They provided a replacement motherboard for the test machine I was using that solved this problem. I don't know what kind of motherboard failure could prevent the activation via the script TMP chip but not prevent activation through the BIOS menu, but as a replacement solved the problem, then it must be a hardware failure.

• Is there a way to increase the size of aka msconfig window System Configuration?

  In windows 95 and 98, it was easy to increase the size of the System Configuration window, and there even a beautiful button "expand".

  It was possible to use the Win9X msconfig in XP, but it doesn't seem to work in Vista Home premium 64. Is it possible to increase the size of the window? Can I change a setting of registry or something in the .exe itself?

  I'm bored of ResEdit on old Macs.
