• Windows Vista SP2, random BSOD with error checking code 0 x 19

  Hi all

  I have seemingly random crashes on my old laptop 3 years recently - BSOD with error checking code 0 x 0000019 (0x00000020, 0xe92f4780, 0xe92f48d0, 0x0a2a0440), and BlueScreenView says that accidents are caused by ntkrnlpa.exe and Ntfs.sys. I have absolutely no idea why it happened--unusual does update, none of the material changes & software installations. The system hangs especially after maybe one or two days after starting with some sleep & wake ups inbetween and the only accidents while there are prominent running shows - namely, all the accidents that happened while I was running Firefox. Seconds before the BSoD (shell & all) system simply freezes and does not respond to ctrl + alt + delete, but is still running (as indicated by the fact that once, I forced a power off and after that restart the event log indicates the previous stop at was not planned), then watch the usual BSoD screen.

  After doing some googling, I began to suspect that this should be a memory or a hard drive problem, or maybe an overheating causing the two since he not there no significant change of software on my computer recently again issues just appeared without reason. So I cleaned my laptop fan and the heatsink and ensured that the hot air can leave the chassis without being blocked, did some checking of memory with memory auditing Windows - no problems in 5 innings and ran chkdsk on my system partition with all available options - perfectly normal, but the chkdsk has acted quite strangely that check all took about 30 seconds and no normal as the ID information of partition, size etc. that should be there never appeared; is this a normal behavior? or something is wrong with my chkdsk?

  I'm still (lol) impatiently waiting for the next crash, not sure whether the problem is still there or not. Meanwhile could you please help me understand what is the problem with my system?

  It seems that the disc is the most likely cause. If it is intermittent, it may be difficult to diagnose.

  The manufacturer of the laptop provides any diagnosis?  Several manufacturers have a key at startup to access the diagnostics.

  CHKDSK should last several minutes. There is information about the different ways to run chkdsk here:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-check-disk-Chkdsk.html

  You can try this disc test program:

• Skype no longer starts with Windows, no more automatic connection (also very slow start)

  I can't deal with the bug of 'mark as read' but Skype no longer starts with Windows (even though it says that it should in msconfig) and there more no option password/auto login as before to remember. Skype always started automatically before 7.17, and it took a few seconds to start. Now, it takes about 2 minutes to click on the icon to connect. What is the problem with this version? Fortunately I've never known messages in the wrong order-bug.

  I use Windows 8.1.

• Vista Sp2 installation fails with the error ASN1

  When I run the installation of SP2 through Windows Update or the standalone version I get the following error «end asn1» unexpected data  Anyone have any ideas?

  I tried everything I can think and find on the web or on TechNet.  I even reinstalled the operating system and the error showed once again.

  Hello RowdyMrB,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  I suggest you to run a scan of the System File Checker to see if there is corruption in your system from the wrong key of RAM,

  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:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

• Vista sp2 into conflict with Hp Quick Touch Pad and Audio devices

  I read a lot of forums HP thinking it is one thing to HP, but after checking this forum I realize it might be a problem in windows vista.  At startup, I lose HP Quick Touch Pad.  What affects my sound.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and the software.  I tried the restore and recovery.  I tried the tool "Fixit" repeatedly with a solution.  When I try to move forward to find a solution, I get an error message on the add-ins eventually crashing my system.  I even tried to lay the basis of the question on a previous thread on this site about the absence of sound.  Maybe the Windows team can really start taking this problem seriously because it seems to be fairly widespread.  Many of them seek without Apple.  I'd rather have the fixed number.  One of Windows can actually give us a reasonable effort to resolve this issue.  Please don't mark as answered until it comes to a response confrimed.

  I went into the log events and noticed that iTunes software package 'Hello' broke.  So I deleted the program.  I then did a reboot and when HP Quick Touch came as an error, their dose of Center solution actually worked.  Unfortunately, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software sound without success.  I have also noticed recently that USB does not recognize the device.  More funny thing is, there is nothing plugged into the USB.

• Vista does not start with the media stuck in player

  I have acendently off my laptop with my my laptop to go with the cd of windows vista in it and now I'm seen trubble

  Remove the DVD.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/HT/ppdropen.htm

  http://www.fonerbooks.com/laptop12.htm

  Use a straightened paperclip to open the drawer and remove the Vista DVD.

  Then if you still have problems, follow the steps below.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  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.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Satellite A100 - usual start with a CD/DVD when the drive is attached

  I'm trying to downgrade my laptop from Vista to XP.

  Whenever I try and boot from the installation to reformat disc, he ignores the past CD and straight to boot from the hard drive. This has happened on several different boot disks. I changed all the appropriate BIOS settings and choose CD as boot device when you press F12 at startup. When I remove the hard drive, the CD boots fine.

  Any ideas?

  Hey mate,

  Have which discs you tried exactly?
  Normally if you try to start Microsoft or Toshiba disc it should load the installation correctly.

  In your case I'll try to load the default settings in the BIOS. After this set the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.

  By the way: what happens if you insert a disc in Windows? Can read you?

• Error 6 B 7 Windows has encountered an unknown error when you try to install the Office Live update 1.5 on the House system top of range of Vista SP2 64 bit with Office 2007 is installed.

  On a m950y of HP with AMD Phenom Quad Core processor 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, lots of available hard disk space, accepted the software license agreement. Can you tell me what's happening, if this should be fixed, and how it can be fixed?

  Mike-

  UH! After posting the added information in my last post, I have acted on an intuition, uninstalled, Office Live 1.5 from the Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled and everything went well.

  So I guess there's a glitch somewhere where Windows Live Update thought I needed the upgrade while in fact I have not, and he is involved in a problem that cannot be resolved.

  Thank you for your help.

• T420 does not start with 2 x 4 GB of RAM (two identical RAM)

  Hi all

  I have a weird problem that I hope you will be able to help me with.
  My T420 came with 1x4Go of ram (below the keyboard) and I wanted to switch to 2 x 4 GB of RAM so even once, I bought exactly the same RAM.

  The two Rams work well by themselves, in the Bay under the keyboard as well as in the Bay under the laptop. The two RAM been tested individually the two RAM slots. The laptop works very well with either the RAM individually in one of the RAM slots.

  BUT if I put them both at the same time, the T420 does not start. It turns on (screen remains black) and instantly switches back off. Without pushing any button, the T420 will then turn itself back on about 3-5 seconds later. This process repeats indefinitely. I don't even see the ThinkPad security screen where you can access BIOS. I changed the RAM autour in slots, but this does not solve the problem either.

  I never had something like this before. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

  Thank you much in advance.

• HP Pavilion with Vista, SP2 m9510f keeps freezing upwards

  My HP Pavillion (with Vista, SP2) m9510f started to freeze until a few months previously, apparently at random times. I did all the cleaning of the computer and diagnosis operations I can think, nothing helps. Most of the common time it freezes is when I use Outlook (writing emails, etc), but also when I'm on YouTube. A check on my Windows application event log shows frequent instances of the CAPI2 (same ID 11) error, generally followed the WMI (event ID 10) anywhere between 20 and 50 seconds after the CAPI2 error. This pair of errors still happens when I start the computer, but sometimes also occur just before a freeze. I used the tool of Microsoft 'Fix - It' which should resolve the CAPI2 error, but it made no difference. I also have occasional "SidebySide" errors and mistakes 'Hello Service', as well as system errors 'Bowser '. I'm running out of ideas and hope someone can help me, that these system freeze seem to occur with increasing frequency. Thank you, John.

• Why don't my NOTHING full of Vista SP2?

  OK - Here's the dope:
  An acquaintance brought me a Dell laptop which was... uh, seriously 'degraded.
  (in fact she brought me TWO portable identical problems similar-more on that later)
  Details-(on two laptops)

  • Dell Inspiron 1525, with 3 GB of RAM and a 200Gig.
  • Vista SP2 (32 bit) with NO updates ever made!  (go figure)
  • Several Antivirus programs on every laptop.

  Laptop #1 don't forget - I think I've finally cleaned.
  But portable #2:
  Attached:

  I came acrossanother wire while trying to repair Vista SP2 system users.
  They had both McCrappy and Norton stuff on it - I managed to uninstall these, as well as... Laughing out loud...  Avast and ADAware and a bunch of other bloatware.

  Then, I managed to run a reg-cleaner (CCleaner) and and an Antivirus (SimplySup Trojan Remover) - the system seems pretty clean now.

  Strangely, Winupdate tells me that they have NEVER had installed updates!
  $% #& USERS!

  The most common error I get now seems to be "Explorer is not reponding."

  I renamed the file datastor.adb and now when I run the update, it's there forever.
  However, the icon in the corner says "Windows can't check for updates.
  Ye, s I have a wifi internet connection.
  Win Defender has not been updated since December and after uninstalling AVAST, Norton and McCrappee, Icurrently I HAVE NO protection against viruses on the laptop. (Dell Inspiron with 3Gig mem)

  Here I could install MS - SE, but IE chokes continuously.

  All sorts of errors occur on this topic now comes to tell me the Dell Wi - Fi stopped working!

  Oh oh-it just froze - now even Ctrl-Alt-Del will not work! Time for the salvation of 7 seconds apres-doigt.

  I'll get back to you.

  ============================

  Ok...  I got the Dell Vista disc install, and it allowed me to "return" to the point of backup "2011-07-22"... uh...» It's today!
  Tried a Windows Update - he started to blow away, and the icon in the task bar said "Windows can't check for updates.  But hey - this has not prevented Winupdate sitting there and pretend there was an ongoing update...  BAH!

  I'd like to install MS Security Essentials, but even the IE freezes!
  The cursor over the taskbar is now this cute little whirlwind 'waiting' cursor.  Bah.

  Oh, wait!  After 3 or 4 MINUTES, yes MINUTES! my context menu finally popped up!

  It seems that whenever you click on Configuration, the order goes through after a wait of 1 od 5 minutes!

  Ahh we'll try again Winupdate!   The time now is 20:35
  OK here it goes-"check updates...". ».    Maybe I'll run this time for an hour or two before again by pressing THE. switch DAMN ON / OFF for about 7 seconds! (Yes, Ctrl-Alt-Del is not recognized in this rotten system).

  I'm starting to suspect that it is perhaps a clever way of MS telling me to go to Win - 7.
  Well, sorry, unless the is free, I will suggest to the user that I can wipe the drive and install Ubuntu 1104.   She's probably better off with that.
  The saga continues.
  See again you at 21:35 or more.
  (now you have probably realized that I get this in a blog, right?)

  =============================
  2011.07.22, 21:15 -
  Huh? The laptop has rebooted spontaneously!
  Fortunately, I have the Dell Vista install disk in the CD drive!  Maybe time to do a HD Format...
  I think that anyone who undergoes this painful experience with Vista should be able to get a FREE copy of Win - 7.
  (just saying...)

  Addendum-before someone suggests it is a memory problem:
  I swapped the 3Gig of RAM in the laptop #1 for the 3 concert in portable #2.
  The problems on the same laptop #2
  I'm kinda leaning towards a motherboard problem now...
  I COULD swap hard disks, but Windows will probably ask me to re-enter the license keys...
  ========================

  DETECTIVE CONAN DOES NOT!

  The saga continues...

  After that I gave up on the hard disk in this laptop and was resigned to buying a new one, I deleted and put it in a USB SATA enclosure.

  Then, I plugged into my laptop Win 7 and ran MS Security Essentials over it.

  Guess what?
  MSSE found a bunch of JAVA - CVE-2008-5353 files... etc. which he essentially advised me to "REMOVE IMMEDIATELY.

  Once this is done, I ran the SimplySup Trojan remover, and HE finds a bunch of 'MYWEBSEARCH' spyware.

  Then I took the drive on my desktop, running Win7 and AVAST.
  Avast found a couple more Trojans!

  Finally, I put the Vista disk in the laptop hit and the "physical disk" problems had disappeared as if by magic.
  Laughing out loud! -with the exception of 330 meg for Windows-updates to day who asked to be installed.
  This was done after that I installed MS - SE on the formerly "broken" drive

  The system now works like new (if you can call new MS Vista).

  Maybe NOW I can say 'Détective Conan'!

  PS - I mentioned that there was a more or less identical Vista laptop which seemed to be 'OK '.
  Nevertheless, I'll remove his drive and analyze it as an external USB using my systems MSSE Win - 7 and above, AVAST before trusting this new!
