the mouse disappears at the level of the office. F8 doesn't let me do it in safe mode

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem
  • restarted several times without success

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

krdav4446,
We could use a little more information on this issue.  What version of XP and service pack are you running?  If something has changed on your system recently (hardware or software)?  Have you tried another mouse?  What happens when you try to start safe mode?  Do you get any error messages?

Here are some delicious dishes.

If the mouse is USB, try another port (do not pass through a USB hub).

If the mouse is wireless, replace the batteries.

Unplug all external devices (printers, USB hubs, USB keys, etc...).

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

  • Cannot start windows in safe mode, the work of restoration but still cannot start unless in safe mode

    After a microsoft update beginning 04/04/11 awoke to noisy computer which was start and restart in safe mode.  Pbly. most of the night it was start and restart.  System Restore tried to 3 or 4 different dates, said has been restored, but this does not solve the problem.  Have you tried troubleshooting, nothing helps.  Worked on it for several days without any positive result.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Grandma fla,.

    1. you remember what update was installed before that the problem occurred?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you perform the clean boot in order to verify if any device on the computer is the origin of the hardware problem.

    a. click "Start", type "DEVMGMT. MSC"in the search text box and press ENTER.

    b. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

    c. right click on your sound card, select "Properties".

    d. click on the "Driver" tab, click Disable the selected device. Click OK

    e. Please use the same method to disable other devices such as: Modem, network card, CD - R drive. Please note that some devices such as the video card are not available should be disabled.

    f. restart the computer and check if it works.

  • I got a new 'live' email address that I place on important flyer. Microsoft does not have the correct password & doesn't let me change it. Help.

    I opened a new account 'live' for a large advocasy group where I have more than 600 members.  After distributing flyers to more than 200 with this new 'live' email address * address email is removed from the privacy *, I tried to go inside to see how many new members, I, questions, etc. In case you're curious, the name of my group of Defender is the TTransportation Accessible to adults with disabilities.  It is a very important cause that I worked for a year.   Live and Hotmail would not accept my password.  I know its right because I have a copy with all the info when obtaining the new account. Microsoft say they don't find that I'm the right owner and always check.  The info they want is not available, because it was a new account.  I was supposed to get the emails on the new account in my old email account, but that didn't happen either.

    I stand to lose hundreds of new members, contacts, sponsors and money for the worst of my reputation.  Why they let me not simply change the password?

    If microsoft doesn't let me change the password I know it's good I think they will cancel the e-mail address. Why I can not open a new account with the same email address?

    Who can I contact to make sure that I don't lose this email address and get the emails that were sent to me already.   This happened about a month now. My loss is important and durable since these flyers went to various community centres, organizations and continue to go around the city of Toronto and further across the province, which is what I asked on the flyers. I also sent the flyers, with the e-mail address of vercent on the internet, Facebook and all of my contacts.

    Please tell me what I can do.

  • RAM installed on the Vista PC, Vista will not start, but switches to Safe Mode?

    I work on computers for years on the side and have done my fair share of upgrades of RAM. I went to my boss to Jeanne to update its ram, it has a Vista computer ~ 4 years with 512 MB of RAM, (a stick). I upgraded to 2 GB. There are 2 white and 2 black slots. The 512 was the white slot. I have it pulled and replaced with 2 GB then put the 512 in the dark. It starts and went to the vista loading bar, then the screen went black. Waited a while and put the 512 where he was and then added 2 GB sequentially. Same result. Then I tried the double approach channel. I also tried just the new RAM. Same result. I EVEN tried to put just the an old back in its slot and it STILL would not initialize correctly.

    Here's the interesting thing. Safe mode and safe mode with networking mode both start instantly. No problems. Properties system shows 2 gb, rebooted and went into the CMOS and recognizes all the correct RAM in the correct locations.

    Now, it should have been a simple exchange and pop so I don't have the computer with me, any suggestions?

    I followed the other suggestions and nothing worked, including pulling the battery for 15 seconds.

    It is a Dell Dimension E521. I have triple checked the RAM before I bought it.

    When I arrived, he had already the computer is off, so I just open it without putting work first. In fact, I ordered the computer home, on this computer on Wednesday of last week. The computer is very slow, but worked

    Apparently you do not see where I said I have triple checked the RAM before I bought it. in any case, after 5 hours of trial and error, I was able to make it work

I clicked on the audio icon and a message on the screen, said that the audio service is not running. I tried to open my music library, but it wouldn't play there. I'm even not any kind of sound from my laptop, it is just quiet. then again my computer collage and making a noise.

    Hi R.Wharton,

    1 are you face any problem while booting to the desktop?

    2. what happens when you try to boot to the desktop?

    3. do you get any error code or error message?

    4 did you do any change on the computer before this problem?

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. I suggest putting the computer in a State of clean boot to safe mode and check what third party application/program is causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you have completed troubleshooting, try the procedure described in step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual.
