Vista Ultimate freezes

I have a portable ZGN-Z591U Sony with Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  After a period of inactivity, usually about 45 minutes, Vista freezes.  To restart, the only way is to do a hard reset (now in the power button).  I've recently updated the Bios and Windows with no solution to the problem.  Any ideas?

I would try starting from the the Vista CD to get to the recovery console and the command chkdsk from there. If you do not have the normal vista cd so your cell phone provider should have a recovery partition on the disk where you can always get the recovery from there console. You need to go beyond the question of chkdsk first as this is similar to the root of the problem.

There is also a possibility at this stage, the hard disk may be failing. If you have important files on the drive that have not been backed up, I'd this precondition to make a diagnosis more just in case.

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:

    Hello

    I just bought a G50 - 10J with Vista Home Premium (German) installed. I tried to install Vista Ultimate Edition (in English) and formatted the C: drive (where vista was preinstalled); When installing, it freezes at the part "Complete Installation" and after waiting an hour, black screen appears and nothing changes (I tried 3 times and still had the same problem).

    Also unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD.
    Could someone please help me load Vista again?

  • Satellite A200 (PSAE6) crashes on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

    Hello

    I recently had a few frequent freezes on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition, I think it's maybe the video card (ATI HD2600 mobility). I have already downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Toshiba site, but it continues to, sometimes, when I'm playing games, the screen blinks for 5 seconds or more and then would become black, completely erased, but the background sound and everything still works well and I am able to shut down the PC by pressing the power button once and then restart it normally.

    It's a minor problem, the major problem is the freezing point, it freezes completely without warning, but oddly enough, he freeze by practicing a game! But freezes on normal operations (internet, office, etc.). I did the tests, tests of HARD drive memory, all in good health, and worse, on the Windows Event Viewer could not detect any problem, simply says 'unexpected system shutdown.

    I'd appreciate help please.

    Thank you

    Hi I do not know if this will help, but you've got service pack 1 installed on your laptop, as when I installed it on my desktop the first time it caused blue screen errors and gave me a lot of problems, including the error messages that seemed to come with applications, I opened and a boring IQRL driver equal or less than but could not work why and then ultimately , I had so many problems that I had to completely reformat my office and I removed my scanner XP and webcam (both had vista drivers) and when I reinstalled service pack 1, it was beautiful, if by any chance do you have anything attached to your XP laptop and vista drivers as these seemed to be what was causing my errors.

    Also a question about your graphic card drivers, I have the same laptop as you and was looking for updates to the graphics driver and couldn't find them anywhere on the site, where did you find yours? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit, my model number is A200-28 p (PSAE6) and I would like to know if there is a new graphics card driver but can not find on the basis of knowledge, so the fact you have updated your would be could you point a new user in the right direction :-)

    Thank you

  • Vista Ultimate on a SBS 2008 domain, Linksys DMA2200 - managed to do work and why

    I could get my Linksys DMA2200 to connect to a Vista Ultimate computer joined to a domain on the first try!

    Well, let's be realistic. On my 200th test or almost, but the first test after I came across an idea.

    Let me turn away from strategies area, firewalls and all the rest.  It really has nothing to do with him apparently, except to the extent where you may not have done something stupid to put in place certain exclusions.

    I have not really decided if I'll put it immediately in the public domain or if so, when.

    Just to tell you that the support Linksys said, it couldn't be done, but it can.

    Check out my blog for updates on the publication of this information, or on my website.

    Well, I had a bit of a missed out on the first DMA2200 and just got a replacement.  I have everything working fine now (with the exception that after 2-3 minutes, the box freezes if it is connected to the Media Center, just play a DVD or waiting on parameters).

    Here's how to work with a computer joined to the domain, at least one running VIsta Ultimate Edition and SBS 2008, but I think it will work in general.

    1. On the field, create a user as follows:

      1. User name is Mcx1.  Note that this is the same as the local user created on the computer of MC.
      2. The password does not appear to matter.
      3. Make the members of the following groups:
        1. Directors
        2. Domain users
        3. Remote Desktop users
    2. On the Vista Ultimate computer, make sure that this domain account is configured for the computer and displays these groups.
    3. Disable user account control.  If it is enabled, the Extender to connect but then unplug immediately. An error event 107 will be published in newspapers of Media Center files.  It is the dialogue of the authorization request which causes this error and disconnects from the Extender.

    That's all.  At some point during my reading/struggle to make it work, I got the Mcx1 local account as a member of administrators and users to the remote desktop, but when I did the re-install, it is no longer the case and it works fine.

    For info, I have an ATI-wonder tuner attached to the VIsta box with a cable card, and the image on the HD and encrypted channels is great with just the connections component and 1080i.  Works exactly as you think it should.

    Now if I can only operate for longer than 2-3 minutes without having to restart...

    Hope Linksys pays attention when they said it was impossible.

    Best, Larry

    If anyone has any ideas on the gel in question, let me know.

  • 26 of Firefox crashes out of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

    No matter if I click on the red X, go to file-> exit or press Alt + F4 to exit Firefox under Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit. It almost always produces an error message that Firefox has stopped working.

    I can't find how to post a JPEG Screenshot of the error here.

    This will not occur under Windows XP Pro.

    Otherwise, the browser works fine in a BONE.

    Those are the two reports of the crash on Adobe Flash Player.

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Reinstallation DVD for Vista Ultimate 64 - bit Edition

    Hi all

    New on the HP community and I must say I am impressed. I just bought an A6660T with Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition desktop computer. I talked to a very competent sales representative. He informed me that after I received the system, I could call Technical Support and the requisition of the re - install Vista Ultimate 64 bit dvd for $30. Has anyone done that? The reason I ask, I want to do my own clean install of the o/s, the recovery disks will not be enough for me. I believe that HP has these records on-site. I appreciate all the comments and look forward to a great experience here on the HP Forum!

    Thanks again

    Welcome to the forums! I can't wait to start your experience here with a negative, but the game you order from HP is the same as the recovery set, you can burn using Recovery Manager on your computer. HP is not the finish plain Vista install DVD for class of consumer machines.

    The sales representative may have thought class machines business, which I guess still has this option as they did on XP machines.

  • Satellite P200 Vista Ultimate - boot configuration data read error

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 running Vista Ultimate.

    Recently I started having a problem after restarting after the installation of vista updates. In fact, it will not start at all and gives me the following message on a black screen.

    Windows could not start. A recent change in hardware or software can cause of bethe. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer
    2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    3. click on "repair your computer".

    If you do not have this disc contact your manufacturer aministrator or the computer of the help system.

    File: \Boot\BCD

    Status: 0xc00014c

    Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.

    The only way I can fix it to insert the recovery dvd and click on repair. This levonorgestrol only when the computer restarts after an update. If I manually turn off the computer, then on start up fine.

    I don't want to put automatic offf to update more because I think they are important from the safety point of view, however, this situation is not acceptable.

    Can someone please help.
    I have a screenshot of the error, but have reproduced the information above.

    Hello

    In my opinion, there is something wrong with your mater boot (MBR) of the drive and therefore the bootloader causes an error.

    Usually, you might be able to fix it using the original disk of Vista but it s really strange that this problem still occurs after the update to vista.

    In my eyes, you should really check if the same problem would happen using the Toshiba factory settings and configuration.

    Good luck

  • Qosmio X 300 - cannot save a fingerprint on Vista Ultimate

    Hello I recently purchase a Qosmio X 300 and upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
    I downloaded all the drivers, but I have problem with fingerprint sensor.

    This is the popup message when I am trying to save a finger.

    Error: could not open the sensor

    Pqx32e Qosmio X 300

    Hello

    I'm not very well why this error message is displayed, but I recommend to reinstall the Fingerprint Software that you can find on the European driver Toshiba m page.

    PS: What * X 300 - xxx * do you have exactly?

    I ask because NOT all X 300 would support the fingerprint and NOT ALL X 300 are equipped with a fingerprint sensor.

  • TEMPRO does not work for Vista Ultimate x 64

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F50 - 10K and I installed Vista ultimate x 64 and the Tempro application does not work. After I installed, I left the start Tempro button checked and when I press finish it gives me this error:
    "internal error 2753.
    Toshiba.UI.controlpanelapplication.exe ".

    Same thing happens when I uncheck the box with start tempro.

    In both cases, nothing is left in the system, no files, no regstry, nothing.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I searched on the Toshiba driver download page and I discovered, Tempro is available for Vista 32 bit and not 64 bit.

    I think so Tempro will not work on a 64 bit OS.

    Bye!
