T61p wouldn't start and stuck to the blinking cursor

A few days ago I was working. Suddenly, I got a blue screen. Unfortunately I did not read fully what it was that restarting always worked. When I first started, he was stuck just after logo Thinkadvantage. All I see is a slider blinkiing. So, I went put BIOS in place and ran HARD drive Diagnostics. He did not report an error. I reinstalled the hard drive. I still have the same problem. I don't have the recovery with me cd.

What is a hard drive problem?

It was a very good link. I tried everything I could. I don't have a restore CD. To get the recovery CD, I have to call. Lenovo support mentioned that I might be charged for the call. One more, I'll be charged for the restore CD. It would cost me about 50 buck. I threw in another $ 80 and buy windows 7 family pack updated my Dell XPS Gen 4 and T61p.

Both went well. It's really worth. No worries so far I've had all the time in my desktop XPS Gen 4

  • How does the index start and end in the reference Word text VI to a word document?

    How a correlation between the index values start and end to a position or coordinate in a Word document?

    Is it a type of lookup table that will refer to a value of say '35' (to start) to a line or a particular character of the position in a Word document? There is nothing in LV help which explains nothing other than the value '-1 '.

    Hey, JayB,.

    The start and end of the Text.vi in Format Word values are the positions of the characters in the document. The values start at 0 on the first (or ASCII character such as a space, tab, or carriage return) and for each character (or the ASCII character). So for example if I wanted to "BOLD" the word "carrots" in the list below, where the values start at 0 on the word 'grocery store '.

    Grocery store:

    Apples

    Black berries

    Carrots

    Detergent

    Then I would enter a start 33 and the end of the 40s, making sure to count the ramasseherbe returns and spaces.

    I hope this helps.

  • Records of Vista Media Center starts and stops at the wrong time

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1 and that you may have noticed that when I schedule recordings for some a particular channel, Media Center starts 2 minutes beforehand and ends 2 minutes in advance.  This affects only shows record from my local affiliate Fox - all other shows for other strings start and stop at the appropriate time.

    I checked the system clock with the start times of the shows and both are correct.  In fact, I saw one day Media Center started to record for a show that did not begin until 08:00 at 19:58 (according to the system time).  I had my TV on at the same time and was able to verify that the program in question had not yet begun, so the flow of the internet was sychned with the dissemination of local transmission.

    It's very frustrating because I miss the end of some shows and cannot always extend registration ends because I'm ordering another channel, the next hour.

    I have the same problem with the FOX network...

    -1 make sure your clock automaticly sets in the internet and update once by pressing the link (which makes that he can see the time server)...

    There are two ways you can go with this:

    -If your departure time is correct, then just go to the Planner and choose the program (or series) you are trying to install, select the recording settings (or adjustment of series) or advanced setting... There is an option to "stop recording" 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, until 2 hours after the recording is finished... I have mine set to 5 minutes after, and she fixed it...

    -If the starting time is disabled (as mine is), to enter ERM and manuver to tasks > settings > TV > recorder > recorder defaults

    This is where you define all the flaws of the recorder, find "Start when possible" and "Stop when possible", 4 min value (max allows MCE)... Save and exit, restart the machine too...

    You should be good to go...

    PS, I just read the last sentence in your post, you must only have a tv tuner card in your machine (I have two, and that's the reason why I bought two), so you can always have a problem when recording two different channels (back to back on the same channel should work okay).

  • How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    * Original title: startup

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

  • Photoshop CC 2015 is a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes

    Hi guys,.

    I had a strange problem with a certain brush (size 5px, difficult tour, no shape dynamics, no transfer) in Photoshop CC 2015.1.2.

    It only happens when the drawing very fast on my Cintiq 22HD.

    The problem is PS is a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes. I don't hold in shift or whatever it is.

    PScc_problem.jpg

    Here's my brush settings:
    Capture.JPG

    I use a PC with these specs:

    Intel Core i7 - 4790 K 4.00 GHz

    ASUS motherboard

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (10.18.13.5354 driver version)

    16 GB OF RAM

    Cintiq 22HD

    Win 10

    Is it a question of PS or Cintiq?

    Thanks for help.

    OK, here is therefore an update.

    The problem is not at all with Photoshop or Cintiq, with Windows 10 parameters of the stylus.

    Fortunately, there is a small piece of free software that you can download called "Fix my pen" (by Smith Reddy) which defines the features of Windows Tablet PC in the registry for you (essentially by disabling everything related to it):

    viziblr - News - difficulty my pen makes your Wacom tablet JUST WORK on Windows 7

    It works fine on Win10 too.

    Now, as my original problem with Photoshop to do a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes left, however I have another question more small that came after running difficulty my pen. The lines that I draw now are not smoothed by a software more. You can see the difference below.

    Fix My Pen sets a lot of things in the registry, but you cannot individually control which setting is disabled. So I guess that one of them is the cause.

    I expect response from Smith about it, cause I have no idea who he is.

    Hello

    First of all I recommend to check the HARD disk for disk failure HARD errors that may affect the performance of the computer, you should check the HARD drive using freeware tools one of the tools that I use is the Drive Fitness Test he has been published several times here in the forum and its really great software.

    If the HARD drive would be ok and if no error would be detected, then, I recommend disabling some processes that are not important for you in many cases different tools would be charged during the OS start process and these tools run in the background that slow down the operating system.
    Run msconfig and check the Startup tab
    Here you will see all the programs that are loaded at the beginning, you can uncheck the tools is not necessary

    Note: If you are not sure what means the only process, use google and search in internet for more details otherwise don't disable this.

    When I tried to configure my email, he asked automatically updated with the installation of my e-mail service provider software. I chose just ok. I received three warning messages, which I don't know exactly but it was something may not work correctly (with respect to the difference in version). I just kept facility, and he asked to reset.

  • Firefox does not account settings to open the home page to start and open rather the previous tabs

    Opening of Firefox, the browser displays my previous session, despite my selection 'display the homepage' or 'show white screen' on the opening.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder (a detailed list of the system shows that you have) which defines the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once to true.

    (I noticed that the mozillaZine knowledge base is down at the time of this posting)

    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
    You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

  • Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

    Hello

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

    2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

    3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

    4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

    5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

    I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

    I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

    Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

    You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

  • Tecra S1 does not start and hangs at the splash screen (boot)

    Tecra S1 model PT831E-107EQ-GR

    Problems started a month ago. Randomly, he didn't not started. After some power or off attempts it finally started and worked properly. I bought a new hard drive (Toshiba 40 GB) because it happened more often. I got Acronis True Image and planned to clone a disk to the new disk. The problem is that a cell phone now won't start any more so I can't boot from a CD or hard drive. It stops at the logo 'In Touch... "with text" Press [F12] for boot device selection menu ' and does not react any key. I tried to boot with no CD, no disk hard - the same thing. I also connected internal HD using ATA to USB adapter - even. This means that it is not a disk problem but motherboard, or other components? Is it possible to get into the BIOS before boot selection screen?

    Kind regards
    Jacek

    Hello Jacek

    Try to enter the BIOS to ESC settings initially upwards.
    The question is strange and I do not think that anyone here can offer the exact diagnosis. The fact is, you can use multiple bootable devices but if there is something wrong with the motherboard HARD drive CD/DVD doesn't work. CD/DVD or HARD disk controller is maybe defective.

    A1. Wise move IMHO. The computer seems "snappier" now?

    A2. I can't imagine that another owner of a Dimension 8400 (or 4800?) has not encountered this problem before. Discover (i.e., search) the Dell office equipment forum: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514.aspx. If necessary, start your own new thread (registration required).

    A4. Welcome & thank you for your comments.

    In fact, there is something else you may need to do: it turns out that KB2607712 is replaced by the KB2616676 in Vista & Win7; Windows XP needs to have both installed [despite the mention you referred in your post on September 14, above] !!!

    => So if Update for Windows XP (KB2607712) is NOT listed in Add/Remove Programs, you will need to manually download/install a revised version [long story, involved - you don't want to know]:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ACTIONS:

    1. open Internet Explorer to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27244 & click on the button CONTINUE.

    2. after VALIDATION, download the installer for KB2607712 & save it to your desktop - NOT run again!

    3. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    4. double-click on the file that you saved in #2 above to install the update. Follow all the instructions (reboot required).

    5. check that the Update for Windows XP (KB2607712) is now listed in Add/Remove programs.
