  I am running Windows XP SP3 with RAM sticks of 256 MB (2) on an old eMachines T5026 desk top.  I added strips of RAM 1.0 GB (2) for the two slots open and computer would not start.  I tried with stick (1) 1 G and (2) 1 sticks and it still won't start.  I tried to mix and match the 256 with 1 G in each combimation, but it does not start.  Won't start with one or two sticks of 256.  Best Buy had PC3200 DDR RAM but the spec above States use PC2700.  Geek Squad says that PC3200 is OK instead of PC2700.  Is this the problem or I had to do something besides just insert new RAM?   Suggestions welcome.  Thank you.

• Computer won't start and the screen is weird looking

  After the maid left today, I noticed my computer screen on my DELL PC running Windows XP HOME Edition (service pack 2 or 3 - I don't know) seemed strange. The pixels have been weird in several areas of the screen and the cursor froze.  I tried to turn off the computer, but it will turn off, then I disconnected and finally had to hold the power switch on the CPU for a few seconds to turn it off.  When I tried to turn it back on again, it showed Windows startup to the top of page - but the screen still seemed weird - kind of out of touch.  The computer does not start.  It's just a black screen with a cursor in the middle of the screen is frozen and the mouse does not move.  I tried to push the F-8 when starting Windows screen came. He took me to a different boot options menu, but always with the print-screen out of phase. I tried a few startup options, but it just brought me back to the Windows boot screen with the logo being shifted - sort of split and strange looking.  Is it possible that my maid has done something to the computer, wiping down? Is it possible to fix this? It's never happened before. Can someone PLEASE?  Thank you

  Hi Goldie309,

  I suggest that you reset the default monitor settings using the buttons available on the computer screen and check if that helps.

  You can also connect another monitor to the computer to check if the monitor is defective.

• My Acer Aspire 4736ZG stop each time I start and will work in safe mode

  This problem has been some time now. Whenever I turn on my computer notebook (Acer Aspire 4736zg) close at boot (windows loading screen) and it really means not freeze SHUT DOWN or restarts... He likes to lose power. It only works in safe mode. Installation of Windows 7, 8 CD cannot start (stop as above).
  I did everything: fixing driver, scan virus, chkdsk, update BIOS even install new windows... The problem still there. I tried install Joli OS (Linux) to have a chance but does not work (always closed).

  All ideal for my problem?

  P/S: sorry for my English

  At this point no matter what the problem he is going to need repair. If it happens with more of an OS which pretty much eliminates the possibility of a software problem. I would still say that it is probably overheating, or there is a problem with your graphics card. However, you will need to speak with Acer on this one.

• If my printer USB cable is connected, my computer won't start?

  If the printer is on and the USB port connected.  The computer won't start.  If I turn on the laptop with the USB plugged in and as it starts and then turn on the printer, everything works fine.  Almost ok.  I think I should be able to leave the printer on all the time as I do at work.  Then when I start the computer, the printer is ready.  Every other printer I've ever had worked this way.  Any suggestions?

  Maybe the printer looks like a hard drive (some printers have card readers that make them look like a disk) and the computer attempts to boot from the USB drive instead of the hard drive?  It would be a modification of the settings in the BIOS

• Why continue those class Scheduler start and stop every half hour approximately

  Why continue those class Scheduler start and stop every half hour approximately. I am fortunate to have a sound event for the event program open and this event is triggered by Multimedia Class Scheduler, it seems, every half hour.
  Is this normal?
  Can I disable it?

  James

  Hello

  Service Multimedia Class Scheduler (MMCSS) allows multimedia applications to ensure that time-sensitive processing receives priority access to the CPU resources. This service allows multimedia applications to use CPU as possible without denying CPU for low-priority applications as well.

  This service is required only for the fact that the Windows Audio service lists this as a dependency. Without the Windows Audio service, no audio signal will play on the system. This service is started when the system starts, but shortly after (~ 8 minutes), it stops.

  This is a Notification which will start with all programs that use Windows Audio. For an example if you open Windows Media Player, then multimedia class scheduler also starts because it uses the windows audio.

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

• Start of diagnosis while in safe mode

  I checked before diagnosis start unchecking to boot into safe mode and now my system won't boot.  I am running XP Pro on a Dell GX620. Any advice?

  I see...  See how he wants to cheat you?   Maybe you can outsmart it...

  Here's what I'd do:

  Create a bootable CD of XP Recovery Console and start on this (instructions below).

  Enter these commands:

  CD-(back up/back to the root directory of drive C)
  attrib - shr boot.ini (remove the system, hidden, and only the read attributes)
  Boot.ini.bak ren boot.ini (rename the boot.ini afflicted)

  Remove the CD and restart your drive HARD and XP will complain about the missing boot.ini, but have yet to start.

  In Explorer, navigate to your C:\ folder and rename the file boot.ini.bak boot.ini (this is so msconfig will be able to find it).

  Run the msconfig and remove the afflictions like / SafeBoot and save changes, etc.  (you don't have to restart if you do not want).

  If you wish, you can change the boot.ini to hand, but not everyone is comfortable to do this.

  I don't know if you're free of virus/malware or not but who has bet that you started at least once.

  If your EXE files will not start, see if it will help:

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP is not
  know what to do with the files by looking at the file extension (for example, .exe for executables,
  .doc for MS documents, etc.).

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

  How to create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required):

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  Hey josevhp,

  303 error seems to indicate that the drive is defective and must be replaced - it is also compatible with startup problems you describe.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disc replaced. Normally, what happens is that HP will send you the replacement of HARD drive to mount yourself - you pay a deposit which is refunded when you return the defective HARD drive
