    I tried the suggestion on the error message and nothing works

    Hi Honee,

    Please, try the following.

    You must boot your PC with the XP cd-rom Setup disk, if you have
    one.

    Then, when you get to the screen with the following option appears:

    To repair a Windows XP installation using
    Recovery Console, press R.

    Then press [R] to launch the "Recovery Console".

    When confronted by a prompt asking for the administrator password - just
    Press [ENTER]

    After his start in RC - type the following command:

    Expand x:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll

    (where [x] is the letter of your cd drive)

    * NB If SP3 is installed - then the command that you type must be:

    Copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll c:\windows\system32

    ... instead, because the files are of two different levels of review
    (versions).

    Then restart.

    I hope this helps!

  • I double clicked on update of programs and I wonder now run a legacy cpl high. When I click ok it says script errors and nothing works.

    original title: run a legacy cpl high?

    Hi all. on my control panel I double clicked on update of programs and I wonder now run a legacy cpl high. When I click ok it says script errors and nothing works. If I click on details until I click on continue it says; "C:\Windows\System32\RunLegacyCPLElevated.exe" Shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL "C:\Windows\system32\ISUSPM.cpl",Program updates I'm not very technical and well I tried to look on the search engines, I can't find anything to help me.

    Hope someone can advise me please

    Thank you aypee74

    I figured how to stop my warning high. I just got an answer and it reminded me that I now know why my computer was giving this prompt. This may help a bit there. So I decided to write.

    In my case it was my 'Sigmatel Audio Control Panel.
    I had disabled "allow reconfiguration pop ups".
    This will make the warning "Run a legacy CPL high" lights up to chance that your system can access this audio program. Once I've rechecked. The warnings went away unless I open the control panel. But it's a normal warning according to the manufacturer of my computer.
    Some of you may have something much more serious, but for the few who becomes confused by the latter and have this audio driver, this may help.

  • Latest Vista updates have picked up my use of the internet and slowed down my system

    Last week, I had several automatic updates. In the meantime, updates have been loading on my computer all landed and froze. After the updates, I'll have a terrible time in AOL. The program has slowed down and often gives me an error message that the system is not responding. I contacted AOL who gave me many suggestions that I follow, but I still have problems (more my overall system is slow now). Says to contact Microsoft. It may be a problem with acceleration. I don't have these problems until the updates installed this week.

    Now my system restore no longer works. I can't go back to before the updates. What can I do?

    Hi andrewgpig,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    Possible cause would be that updates might conflict with other programs on the computer. Also could have damaged some system files on the computer.

    I suggest to try in safe mode and check the performance of the pc first.

    To start the computer in safe mode, do in the link below

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

    If it works fine in safe mode, then find the program that is in conflict. The link below shows you how to do a clean boot

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

    If the steps above fail. Try to do a scan sfc

    Try to run a SFC scan, to do this, follow these steps:

    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, 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 on allow.

    Type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

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

    I hope this helps. .

    Let us know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

  • Windows 7 updates have been a failure for the past two weeks.

    The download of updates, restart computer, Setup starts and then message comes back saying it failed and returning from changes.

    Hi Tassie8655,

    ·         What is the error message or the error code you get?

    This problem may occur if one of the security software and updates of Windows services are not started.

    Follow the steps to check the error code.

    1. click Start , and type Windows Update in Start the Search.
    2. click on view Update history in the left pane.
    3. law click on Update that failed to install and click on see Details.

    Make a note of the error code and provide the same.

    However, you can reset the Windows Update components, download the Microsoft fix - it from the link below and run, this automatically resets the components of Windows on the computer.

    How to reset the Windows Update components?: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    I suggest that you temporarily disable the security software on the computer, and then run Windows updates. Make sure that you enable the security software on the computer after you run Windows updates.

    If the problem persists always, however, try the steps manually described in the article.

  • Windows Recovery error screen: cannot get my computer to start!

    After using my computer for a long period of time, I set it down for a few hours. When I put it up again, the screen was blank and I couldn't get out of hibernation. I manually turned off and restarted. Reboot, I had the Windows recovery error screen, where I was given the opportunity to 'launch Startup Repair' or 'start windows normally '. At the launch of the repair, the screen empties for a few seconds and returns to the error page. When you try to start windows normally, the system rebooted and returned to the error page. I did nothing durastic which would result in this error. Windows was preinstalled and came with any disks. How can I fix my computer and recover my files? My computer is a laptop Gateway MD.

    Have you tried from disk running of all of the above programs.  Of course, some of them managed from the disk as the Startup Repair and system restore.  Others such as SFC and chkdsk or event viewer can be run from the disk by using the command line option (and instructions above on orders to enter).

    Startup Repair and system restore has nothing to help?  Try these other options from the command prompt on the drive if you can't even in Mode safe (which is not a good sign).

    Good luck!

  • Slow computer. At each "troubleshooting." Nothing works, not 'problems' detected.

    My computer is slow, and none of the troubleshooting suggestions seem to help. I disabled all startup programs unnecessary, Defrag, my 'score' is a Norton 4.2 is no problem.  I have 6 GB of available ram 5.75. Yet when I operate, say, media library, it works very well for a few minutes and then slowing to the degree that if I can manage to drag the mouse to close the program, it takes several minutes to do.

    Help!

    Hello
    • What version of Windows are you using?
    • What were the changes made before the show?
    • How long have you been faced with this problem?
    You can view these methods:
     
    Method 1:
    Try the SFC scan on the computer.
    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.
    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.
    Reference:
    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
     
    Method 2:
    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
     
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
     
    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Model picker comes first, when I start Pages

    Hello

    These latest iMac, last version of El Capitan, Pages 5.6.1

    When I run the Pages, or when it has no open window and I click on it in the Dock, a sort of Finder window shows my Desktop files (not recent or anything else that might be useful.) I click on new Document down in the lower left corner and the model picker appears. I want the first model selector and not the other window at all.

    I looked in the Pref Pages... I show selector model selected for new documents. I don't see anything else that might apply. How to avoid this unnecessary window see them?

    Rob

    SOLVED

    A previous discussion (I searched before posting, honest!) I found the trick. In system preferences, select iCloud then iCloud Drive > touch Options and uncheck the option Pages from the list of applications that store the docs in iCloud. I have not received any warning that something would self-destruct on my iMac, as discussed in the previous posts (but it was in an earlier version of the OS) so all is well now.
