Hello

A clear way to determine if a service or something hangs the process is to start your system with a cleanboot, then repeat the process.

Here is an article for cleanboot.  Follow the steps until you have isolated service.

  • Staples relay USB key does not?

    Recently, I bought a relay 8 GB USB Flash drive, and it works great under XP. But in Vista, it will run for 2 seconds and then stops. I tried everything I can think of. (Tho can't really remind them now. =) Staples support has not been able to help me, (big surprise), so I guess it has something to do with Vista. I just installed SP2 as well and it still doesn't work. When I bought it, I have the formatted in FAT32, with the Vista laptop.

    It does not give any error message, it just stopped responding. Almost as if I would take it outside, but it's not. Whenever I try to open it, it closes. With whatever it is.

    Help, please. :( I have things that I need it.

    Hi Tosai,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Vista does not recognize devices that are the reason for the USB key to the FAT 32 format, that is perhaps not getting recognized, you may need to convert the machine to NTFS, follow these steps to convert the machine to NTFS:

    Click Start > type in the Device Manager in the research starting > expand disk drives to find the USB device > click with the right button on the player > select Properties > then go to the policies tab > select the "Optimize for performance" option and click OK, and then do the format, then select NTFS.

    Additional information: convert a hard disk or partition to NTFS format:  http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/414a3808-283a-4e4d-b5ff-1a6d06f597d31033.mspx

  • USB key does not appear in the Finder or Desktop

    Using the latest version of El Capitan on a Macbook 12 "and then plug a SanDisk flash drive in the USB - C drive: the device does not appear in the Finder, at all, not under devices in the sidebar, or anywhere in the Finder. Also it shows only intermittently on the desktop. Of course, this makes the useless car.

    I found that the USB 3 restart MB with 3 USB stick connected via an adapter to the port of C rises. But we must secure it by Apple with an update of the firmware; We should not need to use workarounds to get 3 USB works through much touted app one port USB C.

    Hello

    Check if the same works in different USB Ports, in Device Manager if there are any unknown devices or try to uninstal and reinstall USB Root hub, that should help you. Let know if you have the same problem. You can also check with all other USB devices if works.

  • Pny 4 GB USB key does not work on my new computer?

    PNY 4 GB USB attached flip key will not work on anything ive tried including the update of drivers on each computer for that material and all the drivers?

    Unfortunately this did not help, the USB is not but the age a year but already had important things, Ive already lost the last 6 months b/c my new windows 7 was a pilot missing and with my boot cd "s out of State, I had to restore to be online for school»

    Unfortunately - when one of these drives (USB thumb drives) goes to the South, more often - it is always toast.  There is no real help to recover the data: that is why everything should be saved.

    You said you tried it on several computers (... on all computers...) so it's probably a Goner.

  • USB key into the USB port does not appear in 'my computer '.

    Original title:-drive Flash USB port does not appear

    I have laptop Dell A 4 years and cannot use USB ports. My data flash drive lights flash but nothing shows up in 'MY Computer'

    It turns out that there is a problem connecting to the motherboard... so it ' s not worth repair. However, I believe that I can connect to the Internet by the yellow cable supplied with the router. There is also a card I can buy known as PCMIA card that will give me 2 additional USB ports. It's cheap enough to give it a try.
    Once more a big thank you to all those who have offered their advice on this matter. I'm amazed that so many people are willing to give of their time to help a novice

  • The internal keyboard BACKSPACE key does not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and the BACKSPACE key does not work.

    He will start work the rare opportunity, but then it just stops working again.
    This happens on everything, including word and internet ect.

    It has been like that for a few weeks now and I turned the laptop and turn off many times.
    Is there a way to fix it myself or I send for repair?

    Please, * don't * tell me:
    Get an external keyboard
    Try it turn on and off
    Just highlight the words and use the delete key - it's annoying to have to do this all the time
    Type carefully and do not make so many mistakes

    Thank you!

    > Please, don't tell me not to:
    > Get an external keyboard

    And why shouldn't t someone recommends you to check the functionality using the external keyboard?

    It s recommended to connect an external keyboard to verify how the BACKSPACE key would work using 2nd external keyboard. In case the back might work properly using USB keyboard, the question is very clear; in such cases its main shortcomings. The key cannot be replaced or changed or fixed. In this case, need to replace the entire keyboard!

    In case the BACKSPACE key does not even using the external keyboard, then this would mean that the internal keyboard controller is faulty and in this case only the replacement motherboard would be useful.

    But to be honest, I think that its simple keyboard failure and a replacement would solve this.

  • J K L; And enter the key does not

    I have a Pavilion dv7-6b32us laptop.  Intel CORE i7.  Windows 7.  Nothing added, but the printer drivers and nothing lately.  Yesterday morning keyboard worked fine.  Last night the J K L; were not working.  Clean under the keys.  Then enter key does not.  Have reloaded drivers.  The Enter key on the numeric keypad works ok.  I plugged in a USB keyboard and everything works normally with him.  Any ideas?

    Hey ModernMode,

    That's the spirit! Silver linings FTW!

    You are right. You can replace the keyboard following the same guide who will also give you the part number because they keyboard so you can order it online.

    Alternatively, you can contact HP telephone Support to control the keyboard, or set up the service for them to fix it for you. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

    Please can someone help.
    Thank you

    Hello

    > This problem start after a storm in my area some time ago.

    Because other devices don't work properly and because procedure didn t get it back help you solve this problem, I think that the problem is related to the hardware malfunction possibly that the motherboard was hit by lightning, which would explain the problems

    I think you should ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country to check the motherboard.

    But in my opinion, that the warranty does not cover the issues of environmental impact maybe your household insurance could help you

    suddenly, the Enter key does not work in the scrreen of connection (win 7 64 bit, toshiba portege Z830 - X 11), which some do not login with password.

    The on-screen keyboard sends the "enter" or the other.
