• Cannot access the BIOS on Aspire M

  Greetings, Acer community.

  I am a junior high school with a year + old Acer computer which broke down twice and is now out of warranty.  I bought this computer with my own money.

  My laptop Aspire M does not start because of the 'boot configuration file becoming invalid', that's at least what the blue screen States "recovery."  The offeres blue screen with "press Esc for UEFI firmware settings, but is not admissible.  I tried F2, F8, F10, Alt + F10, F12, bar space, Delete, and pause to try and activate the BIOS interface, just as unsuccessful.

  I followed the instructions to buy Acer recovery tools, but without being able to access the BIOS to set the boot order, I just sank another $25 in a laptop that does not work.

  The cost of the service exceeds the cost of the laptop, so I tend to keep trying to fix it myself.  If he can't ' be repaired, there is little chance I will buy a new Acer to replace as this has been a very frustrating experience.

  Help, please.

  Update!

  Well, first, I removed the HARD drive to try to get the BIOS F2-interruption of the boot sequence.  No luck.  So, it was off looking for the battery CMOS, which I thought might help interruption control W8 (or something else) could have on my sequence start, and as such, did not get to the BIOS screens.

  AND while poking around on the forums, YouTube and the manual - I found on the ACER site, I came across the port of "battery reset" on the merits of the case, which could be used for all disconnect all power from the system.  Seemed to be a promising option.  So, before you tinker with the CMOS, I pressed the reset button of battery for 4 seconds, using a small paper clip and VOILA!, after a power cycle, the bios screens were once more accessible usign F2, etc.  (Obviously, the keyboard is working very well.)

  I returned to screens Alt + F10 to try to * repair * the system using the functions of recovery aboard, but NONE of these options might work, they complain of a locked hard drive no boot device, the missing files of corruption or start-up sector.  Partial, complete repair, troubleshooting, none of this would work.

  Thus, using the system discs that I had already bought, I searched recharge the system entirely.  After you change the boot sequence, placing the CD/DVD drive to the top of the list, I inserted the disc system, rebooted and was on my way.

  I worked my way through the recovery system, three discs and your language and wait now for the freshly loaded operatign system complete the installation of all hardware and software components.  I am sure that this will solve my problem.

  I just wish that I would have realized that this little stupid option disconnect battery existed a few weeks ago.  Persistence is paying off, I guess.

• I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail.

  I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail. I worked around it through another proxy server, but navigation is a pain. does anyone know a solution to this problem? Roadrunner denies that it doesn't clog and so did the modem service here which is telmex?

  [moved]

  I had the same problem 2 weeks while in the Mexico.  I contacted the support TWC and the person to whom I spoke said he had to unlock something.  When he did, all my mail came in Outlook in the spam folder.  It was OK because I got my mail.

  I moved to a different House and now have the same problem again.  I've contacted support TWC and not had much luck. The second level support person and I spent more than an hour, the call of the Mexico using Vontage.  He has not found anything by the previous call that guided him by setting this time.  He said that he would open a ticket and call me in the next 24 to 48 hours.

  Is it reminds and solves the problem, I'll post how it was corrected.

• ERROR: Cannot get the size of the logical block for spfile

  Ran across the following error in the log of alerts for a the 2 node RAC database:

  ERROR: Cannot get the size of the logical block for spfile "+ XXXXXX_SYSTEM/XXXXXX/spfileXXXXXX.ora".

  Looked in MOS and found nothing.  Has anyone go through this before?  If so, what is the cause?

  Just received a resolution of Support from Oracle.  They said that this is a benign error and can be ignored.  Here is their answer to my SR:

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

  OK, after reviewing all that there seems to be no problem to fix. All configurations are correct. We believe that these errors are benign and can be ignored.

  COMMENTS

  ===============

  -L' ASM instance is online.

  -The Diskgroup: + XXXXXX_SYSTEM is mounted and has the physical and logical of 512 bytes sector size.

  -No error message in the alerts ASM journal.

  In light of the facts above, the message "ERROR: could not get the size of the logical block for spfile" seems benign and can be ignored.

  However, to avoid these messages, as a workaround, you can try creating the spfile pfile '+ XXXXXX_SYSTEM/XXXXXX/spfileXXXXXX.ora' and then try to create spfile diskgroup + XXXXXX_SYSTEM using this file pfile.

• Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do?

  Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do? Reset email is never sent. This master password"... How do you define? I'm locked out of Thunderbird. Help

  Maybe he's trying reset Pasword Thunderbird Master as I'm doing? I copy the code and paset in the console tools\error and press Evaluate. I wonder if I want to reset the Master PW and I say yes, then I get a saying that the Master PW has been reset. Maybe he's looking for an e-mail to tell him that the IPL has been rest to? But the problem is, nothing happens when the password has been reset, msg is sent. TB continues to request the password. I have not changed my PW and when I enter the good PW, TB does not recognize. And reset the PW Master does nothing but generate Pop up messages. It's very frustrating. The information in the help files are not accurate, or the code provided does not work although it generates messages indicating that the IPL has been reset.

  So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege

  Tecra M5 cannot enter the BIOS to change the setting too boot from cd first

  I bought on ebay and the seller sold me a dubious version of xp so I want to format and install my own at the start he said:

  The Intel Boot Agent GE v1.2.31 initialization
  KE - E05: the LAN adapter's configuration is corrupted or has not been initialized. Boot agent cannot continue

  Hello

  The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

  If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

  A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

  Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

• Cannot Flash the BIOS on A100 (PSAA8E) - flash process freezes

  Hey everybody.

  I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-283 (PSAA8E-1DL044GR)

  I intend to move the CPU (T1350) to a T2400 dual core.

  Before I open the laptop to install the new CPU, I want to assure you that the BIOS will support it-so, I want to upgrade the BIOS to the newest 6.00 version on the Toshiba support site.

  The flash BIOS (S10V600.exe) file is a self-extracting RAR starts automatically the good process of WinPhlash.

  Unfortunately, the last step in the WinPhlash process does not start.
  Instead, the system locks up completely with a CPU usage to 100% (spinning fan at full speed).

  The new BIOS only if written to the BIOS chip since I hard-restarting the laptop and normally boot my linux system. The BIOS is always the version 2.00.

  My questions:

  -Any of you who have already updated the BIOS on this system knew what could cause this?
  -What operating system did you use to Flash the BIOS?

  I was running Flash on a WinXP SP3 LiveCD (Hiren Boot CD) utility, the file loading flash BIOS from a USB storage device (I don't have Windows and would like to avoid to get a new SATA drive and install a 'real' windows there just to upgrade my BIOS, but I would if it could be the only way to get the BIOS flashed)

  Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks and greetings from Germany to the rest of Europe!

  > Before I open the laptop to install the new CPU, I want to assure you that the BIOS will support it-thus, I would like to upgrade the BIOS to the newest 6.00 version on the Toshiba support site

  First update the BIOS won't help you if the old BIOS would not support the new processor.
  In General, you can only use the CPU that is supported by the chipset.
  As much as I know, that the new processors are not added to new versions of BIOS

  > What OS did you use to Flash the BIOS?
  Since the available BIOS version is based on the Windows version, you must use the Windows which has been pre-installed by Toshiba.
  In many cases, the update of the BIOS requires VAP (value added package) which is necessary if you are running Vista or Win7.

• Cannot get the file to be imported.

  I tried the method of JoseIbarra - I did as suggested but cannot get the file to be imported in the services file. He never asked me if I wanted to add the information in the registry, so it is still on the office. Don't know what to do from here.

  Please stick to the initial conversation.

  (Even once - keep the * first conversation * going.)  Written on it.  Show how this conversation continues spreading around.)

  BTW - my suggestion has not changed.  I still think that you get just around issues that still exist, probably, by fixing the little things you need at a given time.

  Backup important files/folders (for you) (including documents, photos, music, Favorites, Internet favorites, files installable application, serial numbers, product keys, spreadsheets, you saved to the desktop email, etc.) and wipe the disc completely - I'd even a zero writing on the disc (formatting) before installing the operating system from the original installation media.  Then install your applications and restore your files.

  As to what they were asked to do... Always seems that you saved the file as a *. TXT file and not a *. REG or there is much more wrong with your machine (see my suggestion above.)

  Visit this web page to look at the photo on the left (a first) to see the screenshot of the possible is the desktop icons and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

  To check if you saved incorrectly or if there is something wrong with your system (or two) - right click on the file you saved and choose 'Properties' from the menu you get.  Under the 'Général' tab, she said, "file Type: registration entries (.reg)" and "opens with: Registry Editor" or something similar?  Visit this web page to look at the picture on the right (second) to see the screenshot of the possible look at the windows of the property and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

• cannot get the keyboard to select windows xp when I have only four seconds to select is stuck on windows xp professional and cannot get the keyboard to use arrows to select

  A few old machines will not recognize a USB keyboard/mouse until after Windows starts.  Look at the back of your computer and see if you have a PS/2 (round) connector for a keyboard and a mouse.  If you do, then you will need to use a keyboard with a round PS/2 connector or a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and plug the PS/2 connector on the back of your computer so that it recognizes the keyboard until Windows starts on your keyboard.

  The SATA driver applies to your hard drive.  A CD of start-up/installation of Windows XP does not recognize a SATA hard drive.  If you install Windows, you will need to hit F6 at the right time and insert a floppy with the SATA driver on this subject.
