  When starting my computer will not have right to windows is said by pressing F1 or F2, he also says to look for floppy drive 0 failure

  It is a message from the BIOS. You can press F2 and go into BIOS and select "set as default" then save and exit. The PC actually has a floppy drive?

• Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

  Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

  Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  Please read these notes I send to the people who are (sometimes) concerned about the svchost.exe process number they see on their system or when it looks like one of their svchost.exe process has run amok.  We can not all apply to your situation, but I don't want to type in a bunch of stuff once again.  Then get Process Explorer and you will be able to be Omniscient:

  To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

  You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

  You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

  Download Process Explorer from here:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

  You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

  Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

  Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

  Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

  Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

  The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

  It is OK and normal to have several svchost exe processes running.  Important XP Services are actually running under svchost.exe processes. There are sometimes an XP Service that runs under a svchost.exe process, sometimes there are several Services in XP, which runs under a svchost.exe process.

  Sometimes malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process because the malware knows that you won't be able to find it in the Task Manager.  He will hide behind a svchost.exe process to deceive you, but you can outsmart it.

  Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.

  The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.

  Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process.  It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.

  If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use.  Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes.  Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused.  You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

• When you try to load my trading platform change I get a message ' not enough memory to process this command... ". Any suggestions?

  Using windows xp... Never had a problem before and I use this platform every day

  Hi Daniel,.

  I suggest you perform the clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, restore your computer to a Normal startupmode.

• Error when starting my computer code: there is no disc in the drive. Please insert the floppy disk in drive\Device\Harddisk3\DR3

  I just started getting this error in the last month.  It only happens when I start my computer.  I started to use Windows Live Mail Beta.  Would this have something to do with it?

  The problem was with Windows Live Sync.  Once I have not won, I didn't the message again.

  I'm fairly certain that this has nothing to do with Windows Live Mail beta - but it does not sound like a startup program any want a disc in the drive and that is what causes the problem.

  To boot from the hard drive, first of all, in the boot sequence, you may need to change the BIOS to hard drive first in the boot sequence (it is not always necessary and I have my system set to start first on the CD player and have no problem - but you have problems so we'll see if that fixes the).  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  While there, make sure that there is no setting to boot the disk hard regardless of the boot sequence.  Reset.  Normally, it should start without the error message.

  If this does not work, what is the EXACT (including all codes verbatim) error message?  It refers to a specific file, and if yes, what is the file name?  Are you able to start despite the message or that you need to insert the CD in the drive and then it allows you to start?

  Try to boot into safe mode without any CD in the drive (repeatedly clicking the F8 key during the boot process until the menu appears) and see if it works or if you have the same problem.  If you can start in safe mode, it's a good sign.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  If this does not work, go to start / search area and type msconfig.exe and enter, and double-click on the program icon that appears.  Go to the Startup tab and remove all checks, click OK, close the program and reboot and see if the problem persists.  If this isn't the case, then the problem is caused by something trying to boot at startup, and you may need to add the items back one by one, restarting after each one, until you find the culprit at the origin of the problem.  Then let this disabled element, double-check all the others that you actually want from startup, click OK, close the program and restart.  The problem should be solved.  If it's not working, then go back and re-check items that have been checked, click OK, and save the program and restart.  You'll be back to where you started, but we will have eliminated a very likely cause.

  That's all for now.  I hope this helps.  If the problem persists, I need more information about this message and all the files that he mentions.

  Good luck!

• Just my computer was restored now when I try to start it, it says that I need but in the disk boot. I don't have a boot disk. What should I do?

  I got a virus and I had fixed my computer, but now whenever I try to start my computer it tells me that there is no device boot-able and for me to insert a boot disk, then press a button on any. Well, I looked through all the manuals and CD that came with the computer and not for the life of me, I can find a boot disk. It's an old unit, I bought it in 2005 and I've been using Windows XP. Then what should I do? Is there anyway to get a boot disk? Can I just buy a new form of program store like windows vista or windows 7? Please keep in mind and don't forget when you give inform me that I am unable to do anything with the tower. No internet access, no desktop, nothing, so that the download is not an option. It just starts and then tells me to put in a boot disk. So what I do/how can I remedy this? Thanks for the help!

  Hi Becca_459,

   

  1. who is the manufacturer of your computer?

  2. What is the exact error you get when you start your computer?

  I suggest you to check the computer's BIOS settings to make sure that BIOS lists and recognizes the hard disk. See the computer documentation or contact the manufacturer to find out how to check the BIOS settings.

  After you verify that the computer's BIOS detects the hard disk, restart the computer, and then test to determine if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is not resolved, or if the computer's BIOS cannot detect the hard disk, you may have problems with your hardware. Contact the manufacturer to find out how to solve this problem

  NOTE: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If it does not, you will need to contact the manufacture of equipment.

• When starting my computer Windows 7, error ststring.dll is missing

  I get an error message that ststring.dll is missing when I start my computer running windows 7 Home premium. He suggests that I have reinstall. What is ststring.dll and how I would like to reinstall it?

  Hi I found this post a while back on another site, I did what it said to do exactly and it worked for me, don't waste your time call Dell they want only to load on a 100.00 to fix and there is no guarantee. Just try to do what that told the post that I inserted below or if you can't find a friend who is more computer savy and have do them. I hope this helps.

  Solved: "STService.exe Unable to locate component."

  Hey

  First of all, my apologies if there is a section of this forum that this thread would be better suited to the. Mods, feel free to move the thread elsewhere if that is the case.

  Anyway, I just thought I'd post a little fix for a problem that I had with my Dell laptop. After a registry cleanup, I started to receive the error message every time after that I logged: "unable to locate component STService.exe. This application has failed to start because STlog.dll is not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. »

  I googled the problem but could not find a suitable solution - all other users have this problem had simply uninstall Dell DataSafe Local Backup (where the problem is) or just simply to stop it running at startup to the top to get rid of the error messages.

  However, if, like me, this isn't something in particular, you want to, here's a quick solution:

  Find "Dell DataSafe Local Backup" within your program files (for me, it was in: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Dell DataSafe Local Backup")

  Find the STLog.dll file in this directory

  Copy the file - and I hasten to repeat, copy it (do not move or cut the file, because it would be a lot more questions)

  Find the folder Scheduler (for me, it was in: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Dell Backup\Components\scheduler DataSafe Local ')

  Paste the file into this directory

  At this point, I want to emphasize that STLog.dll is not - or at least was not for me - the only one missing. I also had to copy all the following dll files in the same way:

  CSTError.dll
  STString.dll
  STXml.dll
  STStringArray.dll
  LibXml2.dll
  ZLIB1.dll
  STFiles.dll
  STRegistry.dll
  STPE.dll
  STNLS.dll
  STSystems.dll

• When I try to power to the top of our Dell computer, we get a black screen and the message "boot device available. Press button to try again. »

  Pressing enter does nothing, then it usually starts by pressing "ctrl-alt-delete."  The computer runs VERY slowly.  We have Windows XP and also just downloaded Safe Eyes software McAfee, but it was slow & have start questions for a while.  My son also downloads a lot of PS3 games, etc.  Who would have something to do with it so slow?  Is there something we can do to clean it ourselves instead of redoing it to Best Buy and pay $100?

  Hello

  Start are what problems you referring?

  Hi Maddy,

  This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

  If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

  If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

  If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

  Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

  Hope the helps of information.
