Udated Video Driver, now can NOT START
This is a new PC, a "500-338D" running Windows 8.1
He kept harassing update me the device driver for the video card Geoforce 700 (which is preinstalled in this machine).
I left it to update, but now the machine does not start.
I tried pressing F8, nothing, I tried pressing ESC ', nothing. Does anyone know how to access the BIOS or Safe Mode if I can do a system restore or something?
This computer does NOT have a reset button, so I have to unplug it to try again, but it seems to have a capacitor or something like the lights on during stay awhile, so hard to say if it tries to start or already hung or what. Cannot be nothing, but really there the time happens just nothing.
The power led lights up, the little white light, likely the disk activity, flickers a bit, the screen remains black, a few small white square symbol flashes to each occasionally from lower, the power LED flashes and that's it.
I just copied a bunch of sensitive files, so it sends out of nowhere is NOT an option.
So what I do with it now?
Well to give me time to cool, I went out for a meal with my sweet wife...
When I came back I tried again, after that someone told me to leave it unplugged for a while, as the capicitor thing it seems to have means that it is not really restart completely. I never heard such a thing but try, leaving unplugged while we went out.
Came, tried and it booted up OK!
Everything looks tiny and he threw all my icons on the side, but it seems to work. I hope that this experience of pulling hair helps someone else.
And again, for the HP folder, don't be so fussy!
- There is no reset button, forcing me to crawl under the desk by unplugging things
- There is no Windows backup disk
- There is no recovery disk provided
- I don't even know the key to series or the registration of my copy of Windows - still haven't - it is impossible to create a working recovery disk myself.
What would be a reset button and a few discs cost? $5? By pure dumb luck has the problem solved itself, else I'd (still) in a uncomfortable position seriously.

Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.
Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.
I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.
Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))
I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3
I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.
The catalog would have another name or extension?
I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?
Help!
HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )
And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

We window directly on the hardware, you must install via Boot Camp
http://www.Apple.com/support/Bootcamp/
a 64 bit OS will not work unless you use an add-on as the EFI on 2006-2007 Mac Pros is only 32-bit.
The CD of Ubuntu 64 regular bits have to begin on older Intel Mac, as MacPro1, 1, because of incompatibilities EFI. You must download a special + mac CD of Ubuntu to work around this problem. To 11.04, you can get it here:http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/

Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.
Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start. There has been no change to my system hardware or software otherwise. After that windows update Setup, he asked to restart the computer. When restarted, the computer screens and past blue to the quick menu for safe mode and last known configuration to work. None of these mode of work, not to shelter or otherwise. The only thing that he will now implementing market is quickly flashing the blue screen and restart once again to this quick menu.
It's really annoying because I have important files on this computer work and can't afford to get in shape! I put my confidence in using windows and keep it updated. During the installation of your updates, it made my system fails and does not restart. I'll be very upset if this update of windows xp causes me to have to reformat and lose important files!
Any advice on a solution? I need to get this computer work as soon as POSSIBLE.

I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.
If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.

Vista 64 return failure - now will not start
For about a week, my system would auto-update and rebooted... but Windows Explorer could not function if I would return to a previous state. But this morning when I tried to return it never completed. After more than an hour, I have concluded that he had failed and attempted to restart. No luck. Now, does not start. I don't have a recovery disc, so decided to upgrade... bought Windows 7 (64 bit), but before I installed it, I read that I'll lose data (Outlook, etc) and need to reconfigure/reinstall all software. No there is no way of starting from a generic, temporary operating system and then ask him to come back at a time where my original OS worked well? I would then be the transition to Windows 7 the simple and smooth way, keep all the settings program and data, etc.
Furthermore, I read emails via webmail from verizon on another pc, without going through Outlook.
UPDATE: sorry to take so long... I decided to bite the bullet and install the new operating system (also changed for Windows 7-64), and then reinstall all the software and settings. In it, I bought an SSD for C: and moved the boot drive initial one of the removable slots, allowing to recover all Outlook email and folders, files etc. Overall, it was a major event, but now that it's over I'm pleased with the results. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I have a USB device 2.0 DCC which works very well under all of our Windows XP machines, but not based on Vista. The device uses the usbser.sys driver and emulation of the virtual Comm Port.
The text of the listing shows the same information on Xp and Vista, except under vista it shows no open pipes. Shows Device Manager: device can not start (error Code 10).
Using Vista I can't connect to the vista of CDC through concentrators or device to any other device wireless hub except for a Dlink Wireless hub, which has a layer of software between the CDC device and the PC. With Xp, it all works very well on more than one PC, with Vista, there are questions. I use the INF manufacturer provided for Vista, still no results.
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

When I play the virtual Interactiver - Second Life Community. The screen turns white and windows tells me the display adapter stopped responding and has recovered. While the second life Viewer is still Virgin (white). I get the error in a box: The Nvidia OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and can not continue. The application must close. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html for help. Error code 8. Now, I worked with Nvidia to do a clean install of the latest version of the driver. a driver in safe mode installation. They suggested to try an earlier version of the driver. Nothing that they worked me and told me to see Microsoft. The pilot hangs every 30 min or so, all online in the second game of life. Can someone help me?
