Will not respond XPS 15 F8 key to restore factory image
Have a XPS L501X 15 I'm cleaning up to part with. Have all my personal data offshore and uninstalled all the software, which I have added. Went to my Dell online manual for restoring factory image whose starting point was to press the F8 key when the Dell logo appears, to access the advanced boot options. Have done so several times during the past 20 years with my Dell computers, usually F2 for access settings. This computer works well when I hit F2 for Setup and F12 for boot options. But he will not answer the F8 key to bring up the options of early start had to do the original image. Have tried 30 times or almost and it just keeps loading windows. y at - it another way to access this screen, or something else I can try. I have had no other problems with the computer. Ran the Dell hardware diagnostics and everything this past... Loooked in the D partition and it appears the Dell image restore files are all there, I just can't get the F8 to get to them. I made no changes or done anything with the D partition, and the hard drive is the original.
You must press F8 several times similar to what I've done here:

Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys
Hello
My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.
Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.
A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.
As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:
+ Windows 7 +.
+ Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.
I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.
I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.
Any help would be grateful.
Hello
Have you tried the option of HARD drive recovery?

SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND FOR 1 MIN AFTER THE CONNECTION
Once connected to my system after a reboot it will not respond for atlesat 1 minute. I can open some software like firefox... but I can't open Control Panel or modify a system
Hi mohdrafi,.
(a) since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?
This problem may occur because of the conflict between the hardware or programs on the computer.
To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:
Disconnect all external devices, mainly USB devices except for devices such as the mouse and keyboard.
Check if the problem persists,
Step 1: Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
Note: Activate security software once the test is completed.
Step 2: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below.
Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
If everything works properly in safe mode, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
Step 3: Put the computer to boot to figure out program causing problem.
Follow step 1 in the link below,
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software
Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

Dreamweaver CC 2015 does not open. It freezes at the opening and wrote "the program will not respond" anyone have an overview? I used it for a month without any problems and then today it will not open.
Thank you Nancy O. This proposal has helped me. Dreamweaver is unresponsive to the launch. Not sure what happened because it was working fine last week. Restore preferences enabled him to proceed as usual.
For Windows users: find the executable on your system in Dreamweaver. Press and hold the Key Windows + Ctrl + Shift while launching this (double click).

iTunes will not respond on Macbook Pro
My iTunes will not respond when I hit the play button. My version of iTunes is 12.4.1.6. It worked when I bought my mac, but now, he won't answer. It works on my iPhone, but not my Mac. Any suggestions?
iTunes you know on a Mac does not run on an iPhone. It's a completely different operating system. It is also a completely different application that Apple in a fit of lack of creativity has given the same name as the thing on a computer, but it's a different function.
You have restarted your computer?

With Firefox my fonts e-mail decreased and will not respond to reset, but problem disappears when you edit from Internet Explorer. This happened with no incentives from me about two weeks ago, and no resets respond to the email. Occurs only with Fox. With ie I enlarged and adjustable policies.

Otherwise, you can reset Firefox on its default settings by following the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

Hi guys,.
It seems that my problem is solved.
I removed a lot of the years of updates then run my drive setup and turned off and went to bed.
When I turned on this morning I had to install updates. It was the only thing I was worried, and as this seems to be fixed, I am glad I use Firefox as my browser.I installed Speccy and he ran and it shows as running windows updates and it works correctly.
Thanks a lot for all your help guys.

Hello, I recently tried to do an advanced start safemode, because when I tried to do safe mode by pressing F8 it would have not responded to the command. Then I did a MSconfig, lit manually in safe mode, so I can then restart and do a scan to search for viruses or hackers of air because he had a reason to suspect. Now, after the manual switch, when I rebooted all I get is a black screen. No logo, nothing. When I press the buttons for the controls at first upward, it beeps at me and that's it.
Done, I have XP, not Vista, don't know if it makes much difference or not, but that's exactly what I did.
Is went to start, click Run, type msconfig, went to the utility system configuration, general tab selected, then the system of services. Then selected drivers devices of loading at startup Safemode-minimal database, and then click OK. Then, the computer said I had to be logged as administrator for these changes to take place and to connect and make changes. I was already logged as admin. so I advanced and restarted the computer and that's when I got black screen, no splash screen, no logo, no cursor.
I just read that I could have possibly messed up by not checking the VGA mode in order to be able to communicate in this mode, I don't know if it is correct or not.
I have my recovery discs, I've tried this morning, following their directions and it will not respond to one of these orders either.
I don't understand, why... it was working fine before I did it, but like I said I suspected a virus or a hijacker, but my Norton 360 and SuperSpyware nothing not detected in normal mode. That's why I tried to safe mode.

Hi old_geekster and thanks for your reply. I tried to find a site that has the power to my computer and I'm having no luck. Same HP does not list that they carry the power supply for my p6130y. You have no idea where I can get this? Do you know how much it costs? Thanks again.

23Scorpio, it's my pleasure.
You should be able to use any standard ATX PSU in the computer. I suggest to measure the current PSU and comparing measures that you choose. I like Corsair and OCZ. The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money. Both in the links I provided are good examples of what you can use. Read the reviews to see what users have to say about them.

Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.
Hello
I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop. The HARD drive failed and the system unusable. I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media. The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.
The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid. I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.
I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
