• problems with Windows xp home edition

  Hello everyone. I have this sony vaio PCV-RS310 which has been ravaged by some kind of malware... well I know this is an old machine all standards but I like it a lot and it had Windows XP Home Edition installed (my favorite OS) and I tried to revive, but recently he lost power while I was trying to do a repair of a few boot floppies that I did from the microsoft Web site. When that power is is relit, I had more access to the usual screen that I had at the start. I do not see when I turn it on is the logo of sony for a few seconds, followed by:

  NUMBER OF PCI BUS DEVICE NO. FUNCTION NO IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OF THE SELLER ID OF DEVICE DEVICE CLASSIFICATION IRQ
  0 29 0 8086 USB 2 24 11 bus controllers

  And then "press any key to restart", and when I do the same process again. I tried to do a restore of the configuration of system with the recovery discs that came with it but all it shows is a blue screen and then the mouse pointer appears and occasionally I get a stop error message, but usually the blue screen with the mouse pointer remains on during about 10 minutes and then it restarts, showing the screens above and restarts again everywhere : the recovery process. Every thing in there seems to work except for one of the RAM sticks, which I ordered it and the hard drive only shows half of the space. When I turn it on, I get a short beep... that tellls me the system is ok... I think so. I have no access to the c: and d: drives and when I use the boot-floppies to access the recovery console, I get the old access denied even if I can't see the disks listed above. Are there other options at my disposal? I have not installation of xp disc is because the OS is preinstalled. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  Looks like it's maybe a mess with the malware, recovery interruption attempted with power and all this tent.

  If your system has a CD/DVD drive, I create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and once in the Recovery Console, see if you can run a chkdsk /r on your HARD drive, as power cuts can sometimes damage the NT (NTFS) file system.

  Here's how:

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

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

  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:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  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:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD), it would be useful to know what was said so we don't have to guess what you are seeing.

  The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

• I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

  Hi all

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
  I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
  Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
  I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

  Hello

  1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
  3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

  No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

• updates for windows 7 Home Edition problems

  I have a HP Pavilion computer processor AMD Sempron 140 2.70 GHZ, 3.00 GB, usable 2.75 GB installed memory. Type of system 64-bit operating system. Windows 7 Home Edition, service pack 1.

  My problem began two months ago, every time that microsoft windows does an automatic update, and then restarts, my screen goes gray and I have to close it using the power button. After doing that it would hire up to my regular office, yesterday it downloaded and got the gray screen, tried to make a closed hard but when he started to log on again it wouldn't start. I had to log on in safe mode with internet connection. They suggested to do a restore, I did that 3 times, still would not start upward using normal startup. He then began using the repair tool on its own and after 45 minutes, I was able to log on and come back to my office. Now I have disabled the automatic update of windows and am afraid to install updates at all. Y at - it something I can do what I can to keep updated on my updates.

  Thanks for your help,

  Hello Jackie,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.

  According to the description, I see that after the automatic updates of Windows you computer gives the gray screen.

  To better assist you, please answer these questions:

  1. do you get an error message?

  2. What is the item number of kb of the update you have installed?

  I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem:

  Method 1: run the clean boot:

  Perform a clean boot to determine if any 3rd party service is causing the issue:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After performing the steps to clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to Normal startup mode.

   

  Method 2:

  Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Note: Try to install the updates after these two methods, restart the computer and verify if you are able to install the updates.

• Its Windows XP Home Edition problem

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition, map mother MSI V-Class with integrated Realtek HD Audio but do not get sounds from my computer speakers only when an audio source connected to the outside is used.  All the sounds of the internal computer work fine.  All the devices work properly the Device Manager indicates. No yellow exclamation point or a red X. s all compatible devices.  What is left to do to get an external audio sound? What I'm trying to do is prepare to record LPs on CD.  I'm connecting a phono via a preamplifier and run a cable to Y of the band of the output sockets on the blue line in the port behind my computer.  No sound is emitted from the computer speakers when turned on. I have connected the speakers to the amplifier and got her so I know that the unit is working properly. Then I tried to connect a tape recorder directly in the blue line in the port. Again not sound.  I get a balloon saying that I just plugged a device.   All volume controls are located at halfway.  What could be left to do to play music outside the computer itself and to hear the sounds of computer speakers that work well in the case?

  You have me interested in another tactic on this issue.  What happens if my computer taken are not what they seem?  I went the "input jacks' for 'taken them out' and voila, the sound from an external source! They are wired exactly backward. Line is actually the line outside and vice versa!  You helped me, if inadvertently, to check something I have acquired.  And for that I am very grateful. Thank you very much!

• HARD DRIVE PROBLEM... FOR WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION

  I have a compaq armada m700 and I recently installed Windows Xp Home Edition, now when I turn on my computer it says 1720: SMART HARD DRIVER DETECTS IMMINENT FAILURE due to lack of ATTR. 05... IS POSSIBLE THAT I CAN CONNECT MY LAPTOP THAT HAS THE ANOTHER LAPTOP HARD DRIVE FAILURE AND UPDATE MY HARD DRIVE TO TRY TO FIX IT? UPDATE POSSIBLY WORK? OR DO I NEED A NEW HARD DRIVE?

  I have a compaq armada m700 and I recently installed Windows Xp Home Edition, now when I turn on my computer it says 1720: SMART HARD DRIVER DETECTS IMMINENT FAILURE due to lack of ATTR. 05... IS POSSIBLE THAT I CAN CONNECT MY LAPTOP THAT HAS THE ANOTHER LAPTOP HARD DRIVE FAILURE AND UPDATE MY HARD DRIVE TO TRY TO FIX IT? UPDATE POSSIBLY WORK? OR DO I NEED A NEW HARD DRIVE?

  The message you receive indicates imminent hard drive failure. There are has a few tools out there like Hard Drive re-Builder who allegedly fix otherwise unrecoverable disk sectors. However, these are not freeware, which means you would have to pay for the tool. At the time when you did that you could buy a new hard drive.

  In addition, according to my research your laptop is quite old. Pentium III is very outdated. My advice to you is to get your data on the hard disk immediately regardless of whether you intend to repair the computer laptop or not. I would use the laptop as possible to extend the period of time for you to get your data. I was then looking in a new computer.

• I need help to solve a problem I'm having with an installatiion of set-up/repair Windows XP Home Edition service pack 3

  I have 2 computers running Windows Xp Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.  I tried to run a set-up/repair on one of them.  He loaded the files and went back to the stage of the installation.  He said at this point, it takes the file 'ASMS' of the S3CD.
  I copied the ASMS from the other computer files on my USB but the computer being the establishment does not recognize them.  The program disks that I bought with the computers at the same time say XP Home Editiion 2002 version, but nothing about service pack 3.

  What I need to know is if sp3 is the same for the home edition as it is for regular XP and is different ASMS files in the installation of the sp3 that they are in the House editiion.  If I buy the sp3 disc or download these files I will be able to complete the installation of the set-up/repair on my computer or is there perhaps something wrong with the device causing it to do what he did.

  I am also curios - running installation of set-up/repair on this subject, I lost all my files or will they preserved when I've completed the process?  If I lost my files I before moving on to Windows 7 or any other OS that supports available further in the future?

  Any help/information will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hi RandyMeier,
   
  Service Pack 3 files will be different than the normal installation files.
   
  It would be useful to an original CD of Service Pack 3 for installation.
   
  There is an article that you can follow before that and check if it helps.
   
  "The file 'Asms' on the CD-ROM Windows XP Professional is needed" error message when you install Windows XP
   
  If you are using a clean installation process all files may be lost.
   
  In this scenario, you should consider the upgrade of the operating system Windows 7.

• Satellite Pro S300-11Y - downgrade from Windows XP Home edition does not work

  My English is not so perfect, but to be honest, I don't understand you.
  Do you mean by reset? Do you mean, finally, restart?

  By default the BIOS settings and try to reinstall Windows XP Home edition recovery image.

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

• Equium L30 - no sound in Windows XP Home edition

  I have read all the messages for the sound with Realtek HD audio problem but still no sound on my laptop. I tried to install software patches from Microsoft, I tried to install the vista drivers but nothing works. The sound is properly installed but when I go into Winamp or any other media device I can't hear anything. No sound windows, nothing, but the device is not functioning properly.

  All these problems are Windows XP Home edition. In Windows Vista, I have no problem at all. I have an Equium L30. Help, please! Excuse for my English.

  You already mentioned that you have already installed Windows (patch) patches.
  Well, the problem is that you must reinstall these patches at first and then you could install driver sound. These fixes are needed; Fixes KB888111 and KB835221.

  The audio driver (Realtek HD Audio) can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

  Good luck and greetings ;)

• Drivers Toshiba for Windows XP Home edition and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

  Hello.

  I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition version of recovery. Now, I want to install a second operating system such as Windows XP Home edition on this laptop. The problem is that Windows XP Home edition did not find 3 drivers. For sound, LAN and another device. For this reason I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista now has problems with the drivers, too. I can't find the special driver on toshiba home page.

  Jens MFG

  Hello

  I understand your problem at the moment that I also prefer XP instead of Vista operating system.
  Vista needs simply too many resources for laptop and all applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.

  But what say man seems to find compatible drivers on chip manufacturing sites.
  Download and install a tool called Everest or other similar hardware diagnostic tool and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your laptop!
  Then, you can search drivers Intel, Realtek, etc... pages

  You know the website driver Toshiba Canada?
  http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

  There you will find also some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

• Portege M700 - need drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64

  Hello

  I recently bought a Portege M700
  It comes preinstalled with Vista on the disc.

  Now, I got an original Win XP x 64 and all my programs are not really compatible with Vista. If I want to install Win XP x 64.
  I have install Windows XP Home edition x 64, but there are no drivers for it, only for drivers vista and Windows XP tablet pc edition.

  Is it possible to find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64?

  Someone at - it already had a problem like this one?

  in any case thank you already for the answer.

  Hello

  I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
  I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
  Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

  If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

  Good luck
