the start-up of the pc have to press F1 key to continue with the load upward,

the start-up of the pc have to press the F1 key to continue with the load upward, then when the desktop is in place, the date and time is always set to December 2004. Tried to restore to a point without risk, but it makes no difference.

Sounds like the battery RTC (aka aka backup battery BIOS battery) must be replaced.

On most computers, it's easy and inexpensive (generally, the battery is a CR2032 available in your local corner store).

On other computers, however (including portable computers), the procedure can be a little more difficult and/or the battery may be more expensive and only available online.

What is the make and model (very important - require the label if you have a loptop) from your computer?

  • Error - the file awduu36e.sys is not found. Press a key to continue, not able to start after having done the repair of the system on the XP machine.

    Original title: the awduu36e.sys file is not found.

    After a repair of windows XP SP3, I receive, at startup, the message "the file awduu36e.sys is not found. Press a key to continue"- I can't press a key because the keyboard is not recognized or active at this point in the trunk, although I can access the BIOS earlier in the cycle. I tried to boot from the CD from Microsoft but get the same problem. -Any ideas please?

    Hi Kim,

    First of all thanks for respone and sorry for the delay to return but am in Australia so bit of a lag in time!

    OK the sequence goes as follows:

    1 gigabyte MB BIOS screen - at this stage sensitive keyboard and I can access BIOS OK.

    2. new screen - PCI resources; Checking DMI Pool etc. ;

    3. new screen - "Please choose which startup option:

    -Windows XP Home Edition

    -Installation of Windows XP.

    and countdown etc. - from this point in the sequence of the keyboard does not respond so cannot select the OS and inadmissible F8, then highlighted option default selected that is configured.

    4. new screen - "check you computer hardware configuration...".

    5. new screen - "the file awduu36e.sys is not found. Press a key to continue. "

    As the keyboard is unresponsive after the BIOS screen I have no way of influencing the order above.

    Other relevant points:

    -When you make commissioning/repair day I received the message to halfway through - "awduu36e.sys file is not found" and the option start over or ignore; after another attempt to a couple of times I chose skip so I guess that I got myself into this mess. What is awduu36e.sys anyway?

    -My copy of Windows XP Home Edition SP3 OEM is and has been installed when I got to the machine, so I think that some repair options are not available for me in any case.

    Again thank you very much for the reply and any help you can provide,

    Kind regards

    Fraser

    Looks like you are leaving it too late to use F8 (must be before the OS options appear)- and you have a partial installation of some versions of Windows in progress seeking the file on a CD.

  • Why do I get a message saying "no disc not detected - start insert an and press any key to continue", but none of the keys work.

    When I finished installing, partitioning, and all other actions prompted for installing windows 7 with boot camp, my mac restarted all of a sudden without promote me. My 32 gb SanDisk Cruzer Blade was hooked up to an external USB hub. My screen came up with a console that says something in the sense of ' no disc of starting (or reader) detected - insert and press a key to continue. " I then plugged my FlashDrive directly in the USB interface on my Mac. Then I pushed every button on my keyboard, but nothing happened. I then force reset my Mac and retried, but alas, it didn't work. My computer is stuck here and will not respond to anything else. Any help is appreciated.

    Please, please, please! Someone who doesn't know anything also how stupid it may seem. I can't return to OS x no matter what I try. ;(

  • When you watch the film, every 10 min. I have to press a button to see. Why?

    I use iceweasel on Debian, and every time I watch a movie, every 10 minutes, the image disappears, as if the contact has been lost, but I can still hear the noise. Then I have to press any key on my keyboard to see the continuous film. I do not think that the problem comes from Iceweasel, but I would like to know what can cause this problem and how to solve it. Is there a way to tell Iceweasel or Debian non-stop to this film?
    My problem is probably easy to fix, but because I'm new as a Linux user, I would like to receive your suggestions.

  • Satellite on L9W Mini - B - can not press multiple keys at the same time

    Hello

    I'm here to inform a huge problem with the keyboard.
    To play some games like Minecraft you will have to press certain keys (WASD to walk and jspace jump), but the keyboard automatically release all keys when a key is released.

    Only the special keys like Ctrl, shift, Fn or Alt works.
    I checked it with an app like Keyboardtest, then it is definitely a keyboard problem.
    I also checked with external keyboard and it works.

    I hope that this problem will be solved, it's really a bad problem, what the hell is - this.

    Thank you

    You're talking about on the keyboard of the Tablet (touch screen keyboard) and not the keyboard dock.

    As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.

    For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

    To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

    Hi @Vishalwagh123,

    Welcome to HP's Forums a great way to get help. It's a great place to find answers and advice! Thanks for the post.

    I understand you have questions turn on/off the device and you must press the power button several times for him to start. I'll be happy to help you.

    Please try these steps first. Perform a hard reset.

    • Steps to do:
    • Turn off the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery.
    • Press and hold the power button on the unit for 15 seconds to carry out the static electrical charges inside the machine.
    • Replace the battery and the charger plug it back. Try to turn on the computer.

    If it fires up immediately the issue is resolved. Otherwise, try to turn on the computer without the battery and check that it works immediately.

    In your message, you said that it works very well with the charger. However, I need more clarity here to help you better.

    It works immediately when the adapter is connected and the power button is pushed only once?

    If you again press the power button several times, it may be a faulty power button, and you will need to contact the hotline at the service of the unit.

    Let me know what happens when you try to turn on the unit without the charger?

    I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.

    Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

    Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.
