Vista Home PGD does not stop

Vista hangs at the closing screen

Hello

Be sure and check with your security/Antivirus/antispyware managers and their forums that some of
those check removable drives and other devices that can cause a system hang you see.

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • Vista Home Premium does not see my HDV camera

    I recently bought a Sony Z5U HD camera and tried to connect to my Vista Premium 64 bit laptop.  Windows don't "bong" and recognize that anything that either is connected. If I plug an older camera, it works fine as it should, so I don't know that the firewire connection works correctly.  In addition, I plug the same new camera to a tower of XP and it works fine. I contacted Sony and they said that Microsoft has not added 64-bit cameras HDV codec on Vista 64 and I should downgrade the operating system to 32 bit, which sounds extreme.  I googled for the 64-bit codecs, and everything I can find relates to play a variety of file types video in Windows Media Player, which seems CLOSE, but not quite accurate that I know this might solve my problem.  There are codecs that I can install to allow my HDV camera to be recognized by my Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS?

  • Windows Vista Home premium does not start correctly

    Programs ceased work and the report of windows and kept solutions problems popping up, I think I have more than 40 unresolved issues.
    So if I haven´? t been on the laptop for a while, I start the blue screen of death and won´? boot t 20 minutes because it is proposed running a reboot each time due to the blue screen. I put the computer several times and still have the same effect after a while.

    I think that this could be a software issue more then a hardware problem but I don´? t want to go back to windows XP.
    I have can´? install service pack 1, when I try and install it says there is an internal error.
    I don't know how to solve my problems to initialize any ideas?

    Because it's wasting a lot of time, I don't know if I need to return my laptop

    Hi mate,

    These questions - and especially a BSOD - aren't very good signs of a healthy system / machine. Recently installed a few new applications or something else?

  • Vista Home Premium does not recognize a new 500 GB HARD drive.

    I installed a WD 500 GB drive in my Emachines computer.   He appears in "Device Manager" who says it works correctly, but the OS not the poster not in 'My Computer'.  Is there a limit on the size of the disk in Vista?

    Have you partitioned/formatted it?

    If not, right click on computer > manage > storage > disk management.

    Now right click on the graph for the reader, and select new simple volume. Allocate the amount of space you want to use it, i.e. all or certain of them so that you can have more than one partition on the disk. Now do a right click and format it. Repeat the new simple volume if you decided to make several partitions.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  • October 2014 GI OJVM PSU Combo - 'auto opatch apply' t - it does not stop instances DB?

    October 2014 GI OJVM PSU Combo - 'auto opatch apply' t - it does not stop instances DB?

    () 19791428 fix / p19791428)


    Our process for patching Oracle 11.2.0.3 GI has not changed for many patch cycles. But I have a few questions about the PSU process October 2014 "Combo" GI which includes OJVM. We will test on the instances of laboratory first, but I wanted to see if somebody beat us to the application of this power supply and can share an overview.

    Our environment:

    Oracle grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.3.11 (no CARS; used only for ASM / Oracle Restart)

    11.2.0.3 multiple databases of instances per unique host (Redhat Linux x 86-64)

    We always manually stop EM agents then changed directory to the level root the dir containing the decompressed PSU and run opatch auto - and run as root, if system administrators grant us temp privs root on a given day. Then:

    opatch auto/home/oracle/patches ocmrf - /u01/app/11.2.0/grid3/OPatch/ocm/bin/ocm.rsp

    For post-install, restrict us the stopping, starting, run catbundle.sql, and then 'change the system disable restricted session.

    Fast forward to October 2014 GI Combo PSU just released, README Section 'Installation of the patch 2.4.

    Step 1: bring down the database on all nodes using the "svrctl stop database...". ». First of all, we will never that. What is a RAC only step? "opatch auto" always stop all Oracle services necessary for us, with the exception noted above, agent of the EM. Don't skip us this step for a GI but not RAC configuration? Again, we use only of GI for ASM.

    Step 2: cd in a patch numbered directory (in this case, < patch Home > / 19791428). A bit different than before, but not confusing not.

    Step 3: opatch auto apply - ocmrf < com answer file full path >.

    Significant for adding 'applies' here in auto opatch syntax? Maybe it was always there, for example July 2014 patch cycle, and I never noticed...

    Step 4: cd to a subdirectory of the directory of numbered, for example < patch Home > patch/19791428/19282015

    Step 5: patch OJVM apply:

    opatch apply - local

    "Affixes Opatch - local" also run as root?

    Step 6: repeat step 2 to 5 on all nodes; Since we GI but no CARS, so there are no other nodes.

    Step 7: the last node, elevate dbs on all nodes via 'svrctl start the database '. Believe that we would skip because we are not CARS.

    Go to Section 2.5.2: loading modified the SQL files in the database

    1. start each instance then run @postinstall.sql - what is new. It seems also new on him must START each instance. In our last round patch "opatch auto" always showed all Oracle services, including any proceedings. So before our catbundle.sql, we run generally restrict us the stop and then start. "Opatch" behave differently for for example not restart us during this cycle of fix, all Oracle services when you are finished?

    2. run catbundle.sql for each instance; par for the course.

    Thank you.

    Dana


    I made the correction today. The statement does not.

    as root, do 1,2,3

    as oracle do the rest.

    should be automatic without apply.

    hope this helps.
