    No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
    are a few others.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
    Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
    ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a

  • My Windows Media Player must be closed manually in the Task Manager

    My computer is running using Windows Vista, and every time that I used Media Player and it shut my computer slow down right.  I realized that I had to go to media player close task drop and this has solved.  I upgraded to Windows 7 and thought that might solve the problem.  It must always be closed manually... Ideas?

    What is the name of the process you see in the Task Manager?  When I close Windows Media Player, the process wmplayer.exe also closes. Although if he never completed a full scan, it will stay running long enough to build the index, which can take hours if you have a lot of files.

  • 5 Lightroom does not start but shows that run in the Task Manager?

    Hello

    I use Lightroom 5.7 (64-bit) on a Win7 machine and it worked perfectly until a few days ago. Now for reasons unknown to me, it will now not start correctly. According to the Task Manager, run, but nothing appears on the screen. It shows as a running process with about 15 020 k. If I try and interrupt the process he won't stop until I've tried 4 or 5 times.

    I tried to rename the file to preview force it to build a new file and optimize the database and he ran once, said he was checking the catalog and then came back to the same behavior.

    If I can get it started I can return to a backup of database.

    Help appreciated.

    Thanks for the comments.

    It turns out that Lightroom is not guilty.  The hard drive containing the catalog was not, and although tests seem to show like OK it was made only reading / writing at a fraction of the correct speed. If Lightroom was very time consuming to read it's own catalog.  It tooks 48 hours to exemplary concert 1 of data off the drive.

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this file because the file seems to be corrupted, damaged or too big.

    I am on Windows 7 and using Photo Viewer to watch 5 tiff files. I can open all tiff files in photoshop or psp, but not in photoviewer. Here, I can open only 2 smaller files. Is there a limit of size on the photo viewer (it seems). The files that I can not open are 1.45

    Hello
     
    a. like you said that the size of file that 1.45, could you give the exact size in MB, GB or KB?
    b. Since the photoviewer is used to display basic tiff files, if the file contains additional metadata information that can not be played on photoviewer it could give you the error message.
    1 copy these pictures on another computer in Windows 7 and check if the files open.
    2. you can also try to change the file format and check if it converts in this format and it opens correctly.
    You can see the following article on changing the file format.

    I may have an idea of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.  To give a race to the bottom; I already had utorrent on my computer. I open utorrent and he said that he had a new version/update available, so I've updated (uTorrent) and from there the problems began.  In one of the windows it asked me if I wanted to "Open with this program" and "always open programs like this with" (utorrent) is what he asked.  From there on, I was not able to open anything.

    Even in safe mode, I can't open anything.  All I can do is go on the internet. I can't even open the registry, System Restore, the prompt command or anything that might help me to solve the problem.  All my programs had tried to open in utorrent, but then I deleted it. Now when I try to open something, for example Microsoft Word, it is saidC:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD. EXE "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  In the control panel to define Associations, create association. »
