  • Windows Vista crashes when coming out of sleep mode

    When I get out of mode 'sleep', the computer crashes and I get a message of dump of crash that don't last long enough to play entirely. I have to start the computer in safe mode, and then restart windows vista safe mode. This just started happening in the last few days. Ideas for a fix. ?

    Hi bissie,.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    Sometimes an error occurs on your computer and you're immediately struck by a mistake. The only problem is that the screen flashes if fast as you rarely get to see what may have caused the error in the first place. Once we get to know the error that we would be in a better position to solve the problems on the issue.

    First of all, we will try to disable the auto restart so that we get the full error. Follow the steps to disable it.

    1. click on the Start button

    2. from Start menu click Control Panel

    3. in Control Panel, click on the system icon

    4. in the window system to look on the left side of the window and you will see a list of options. Click the advanced system settings option

    5. because the management of the computer requires administrative privileges, you can find the user account control is displayed. If she then enter the required information (if you are not the administrator) or, if you are the administrator, click on the button continue

    6. in the advanced settings window, look for the startup and recovery section and then click on the settings button

    7. in the startup and recovery window, find the marked section of the system failure and delete the "tick" of the option 'automatically restart '. Now press the OK button

    8. Finally, click the OK button in the System Properties window, and then close the system window.

    Let us know the error message you get after recovery from sleep mode.

    Also as you mentioned that this was happening a few days ago then you can try to perform a system restore. Restore the computer to a point while it was working fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • Windows Vista crashes when configuring updates

    I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite a305-s6916 with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I had some problems with the computer so I decided to reinstall my OS and have a fresh start. I made the discs by the creator of recovery on the computer disk.

    I reinstalled my OS, got all my files and programs on the computer, then started updates. When I installed Windows Vista Service Pack 2, my computer rebooted, went to the "Configuring updates 2/3 0% ' screen and stayed there." The circle of "loading" froze, I let it sit for an hour and finally started strong. He went to the same screen and froze, I rebooted it in safe mode, it starts normall (not in safe mode), and then asked me to do more updates. I let it reboot and he did the same thing, I rebooted again and he went to the same page with horizontal lines on the screen. I picked up in safe mode, it went through updates and seemed fine. I was using the computer and about 30 minutes later, he froze and made the lines again.

    I decided to reinstall the OS again in case I did something wrong or had a virus transferred in my files. I did reinstall fees disks on my computer of friends (same model bought the same day). This time, I didn't install programs or documents with the exception of my antivirus (eset). I immediately started this updates a little at a time. In a first time no problem, but he did 72 updates automatically, it froze on a similar screen, I rebooted and it worked fine (successful installation). I then continued to make updates. I got an error 80070570 for some and it is resolved by following the steps listed on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistasp/thread/829de30b-0634-4186-9172-90cd5776b48c forum. (I have listed these steps below as well) I did not receive any other errors failed after that. When I did the update to IE 8 that it froze again, I rebooted and it has started well. I did several facilities and had problems with one more (I forgot to save that one).

    I went until I didn't have Windows Vist SP2 on the list to download. I left this download and restart it, it froze again on 2 of 3 0% screen configuration updates, I restarted, same thing, then restarted in safe mode. He started up very well.

    Although it seems to work once I started strong each time, I know I shouldn't have these freezing problems.

  • Professional Windows Vista crashes when you use Cisco VPN Client 5.05.0290

    I have a Dell Latitude E6400 Windows Vista Business (32 bit) operating system. When I go to turn on the VPN client, I get invited to my username / password and once entered, the system just hangs. The only way to answer, it's a re-start. I took action:

    1 disabled UAC in Windows
    2 tried an earlier version of the VPN client
    3. by the representative of Cisco, I put the application runs as an administrator

    If there are any suggestions or similar stories, I would be grateful any offereings.

    It IS the COMODO Firewall with the 5.0.x CISCO VPN client that causes the gel. The last update of COMODO has caused some incompatibility. I tried to install COMODO without the built in Zonealerm, but it is still frozen. The only way to solve it is to uninstall COMODOD. Since then, my CISCO VPN client works again...

    Hi Salem,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. I see that the computer of windows 8 crashes when it is idle. Let me help you with the issue.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. what security software is installed?

    3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    To resolve this issue, let us try these methods:

    Method 1.

    You can try to run the electrical troubleshooting utility and check if it helps.

    a. press Windows key + R, type Control Panel and press ENTER.

    b. Select Troubleshooting.

    c. click system and security , and then select power.

    d. click Next to run the troubleshooter.

    Method 2.

    Method 3.

    To run the System File Checker, you'll need open an elevated command prompt. This can be done:

    • Enter the start screen
    • Press Windows + C keys on your keyboard to show the charms. (If you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of the screen and slide your finger to the center of the screen to display the bar of charms)
    • Click on search
    • Type the command prompt in the search field
    • Click with the right button on command prompt (if you use a touch screen: touch and hold your finger at the command prompt, drag your finger downwards until you see an outline around the tile and finally release your finger on the screen.)
    • Click on run as administrator

    Enter the command: sfc/scannow
    Note: If you use a touch screen you can open the touch keyboard for the command prompt by typing on the keyboard icon in your taskbar near the system tray.

    Method 4.

    Run a full scan of the computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    Original title: Lenovo SL500 Windows Vista crashed with STOP error message and won't start

    Hello peoples,
    I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
    Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

    PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

    EDIT: The error message went like this:

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove the hard drives newly installed on the hard disk controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is configured and completed proeprly. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Original title: registry exe problem

    I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • I reinstalled windows vista, and when I did I must have erased the initial password when you turn on the computer. I was wondering how can I configure the windows logon password?
