  Hello
  I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

  You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

  You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

  At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

  And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

  Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

• Re: Satellite Pro L300 - unable to get into the BIOS or boot

  I have a Satellite L300, who will not get past the POST or the Toshiba start screen. It says to press F2 to enter setup or F12 for the boot sequence, but by pressing buttons does nothing and nothing happens - it just stays there. the HARD drive activity light flashes for a few seconds, then stops.

  I tried the new RAM and a HARD drive different, both with the connected power and battery alone without success!

  someone at - it suggestions?

  Hi jhilton0105,

  Hmm, I think that you have tried everything you can do, and in my opinion, it seems to be a hardware malfunction. Maybe it s related to the motherboard, CPU, module ROM or something else
  I think that your laptop should be verified professional people to get rid of this problem.

  It seems that you are not able to MSN account or by mail when you use the connection of Norton.

  You can try to disable Norton antivirus installed on the computer and check is that you are able to connect to MSN and email.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Original title: Audio driver problem. Help, please.

  I have problems with my driver. Recently, I received this computer from my mother, her husband cleaned files from the computers and I think he deleted a sound driver, because it is not read all speakers.

  Hello

   

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

   

  You are unable to get sound from the computer.

  1. What is brand and model computer?

  2. which version of the operating system are you using?

  If you are unable to get sound into the computer then it's perhaps because of connection issues or if the drivers are corrupt.

  To check if the problem is with the drivers or the connection, I suggest you follow the steps in the site mentioned:

  I tried to upgrade vista ultimate to 7 ultimate and never managed to do work he kept crashing until I installed it (I tried about 6 or 7 times). I then went back to vista and had to reload from a return upwards I had done. now, I can't connect to my computer all it says is the wrong password and I tried all the passwords that I can remember. I changed my password often due to having older children who want to bypass the parental control. can anyone help me to get into the computer or I have to formatt and start over?

• Cannot get on Internet with computer Vista, getting 169 ip address

  We have a problem with Vista my boyfriend. He said that everything was working fine yesterday, and then we left for lunch. He thought that he turned off the computer, but when we came back he was and would not connect to the internet. We first thought it was a bad cable so went out and got a new but no change. I also tried to use the cable from another computer but still can't connect. We get a 169 ip address and the network shows as Public unidentified network with limited connectivity. We have tried to change for private network but always presented as identified and unable to connect to the internet network. I'm sure that yesterday we have a 192 ip address and the address of a default gateway and succeeded to another computer on the network but still could not get on the internet, but failed to get the IP 192 today. I'm confused, what is happening. Help, please!

  More information - Vista computer also has a wireless adapter that when activated, it works but we have the connection Ethernet also works. I tried to connect with the mode safe mode with networking, but get the same thing. I thought to reset tcp/ip, but given that the wireless adapter is able to connect, does that mean tcp/ip works on the computer and running that a fix would be a waste of time? I don't want to do anything that could screw up the wireless adapter. Ethernet is on board so that it cannot be let go and need to reinstall. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks for your reply. I tried to remove the network adapter from Device Manager and allowing windows to reinstall but it does not solve the problem. It is a desktop computer. I started to think about how the cable could have been pulled and could have damaged the Ethernet port and was going to ask you what the lights where the cable plugs into the Ethernet port average. It's a green light solid with a yellow flashing light next to him. I decided to shut down the computer and blow the Ethernet port with compressed air. To my surprise, it works now! Although your answer directly does not solve my problem, it helped me not to do things that do not help and he will think the Ethernet port and what could be wrong with it.

  Thank you!

• iertutil.dll was not found after trying to download internet explorer 8. I can't get into my computer. Not even the start screen.

  I can't get into my computer.  All I can get is the Task Manager.  It shows all my still intact material, I'm not him.  Not even to my home screen.  All that appears is my screensaver and a message saying to re - install iertutil. DLL... but how to do when I can't.

  Maybe someday, we will see again the proposal to:

  Once you open the Task Manager try the commands below.

  1. in the Task Manager, click file, and then click new task

  2. now type rstrui.exe and click OK

  This would launch the system restore on the computer refer the below Microsoft article more about the restoration of the system.

  If you really try , you would find that it does not work because rstrui.exe is unlikely that never will be in the PATH statement.

  If you want to launch the restoration of the system from the Task Manager, you will need to perform a new task like this:

  %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

  If c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll is missing, you will see a message like this:

  Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component

  The application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

  Because explorer.exe is not running, you will see only your background image /, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete will always bring up the Task Manager where you can maneuver around and replace the file.

  If the only problem with your system, it's that iertutil.dll is missing, you can replace the backup copy in the dllcache folder.  You can continue to obtain reviews iertutil.dll is absent, but just click OK for messages of recall as they pop up so you can continue working.

  One might think that you use the Task Manager, you can browse c:\windows\system32\dllcache and (after choosing to view all files) copy the iertutil.dll from there and then paste the iertutil.dll file in c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  That actually works, but it seems that it does not work as you will get an hour glass stuck on the paste operation and perhaps wonder whether or not it has actually worked.

  To feel better replace the missing file, so you can actually see the file being copied and replaced... Task Manager, click file, new task and enter in the box (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window and first make a copy of the original file (if it exists) by entering the following command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\iertutil.old c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll

  That copies the file in progress if there is an and it will just complain if it is not a copy.

  We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Knowing this, copy the backup copy of the missing file and replace the missing or suspicious file by using this command:

  Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  Who will replace the missing or suspicious file and if that's all that's wrong with the system, Shut Down box Task Manager, you can choose to reboot your system and see how things are going.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit). Unable to get a backup to a flash drive. Error: 0 x 81000029

  Original title: I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit).  Unable to get a backup to a flash drive.

  After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

  1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
  2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
  3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
  4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.
