WMP11 is very power hungry and causes always a screen freezes.

For now I've disabled windows media11 player in "windows features" and have installed VLC media player, which is great, but do not play BBC iPlayer movies, so no one knows if there is a way to turn this please?

Rob.

As Windows 7 comes with WMP 12, what version of operating system do you use?

  • Can cause of Google Chrome that any general Windows questions as screen freeze or startup problems? Thank you.

    Recently installed Google Chrome and started to add some PC problems. This could be a coincidence, but I was wondering if the Chrome can somehow interfere with the operation of Windows. Thank you for any light on the topic.

    Hi Anoop,

    Thanks for your reply. I checked the links you recommended, but did not find anything of note when I checked the logs events or performance. (I can't seek enough carefully.)

    Fortunately, the problem disappeared in the past few days and he can not Google Chrome to what has caused the occasional screen freezes. To answer your questions, Frost moved not just with Google Chrome, there is no error message and I have not recently updated the latest drivers.

    In any case, at the moment seems to agree, and if a conflict between Windows and the Chrome is not a good experience then it's probably just a coincidence that I met problems with my shortly after its installation.

    Once again, thank you for your help.

    I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.

    Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?

    Here are some instructions:

    Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:

    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:

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

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    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.

  • I'm on windows 7 64 bit, and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and disappears later

    I'm on windows 7 64 bit and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and then disappears.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - screen flickers power on and off

    Has anyone encountered a problem where the screen flickers power on and off? Mine will Dim to the point where you can't see whats happening and then back to normal.

    I tried a restore drivers, but the problem persisted. I did also check complete anti-virus (I realize that it was probably not the cause of the problem, but decided to be complete). I was thinking that it's purely a hardware problem, like when I use an external monitor connected through a HDMI cable I don't have this problem.

    I guess it must be a problem with the connection between the screen and the motherboard. Maybe a problem within the hinge where they cross connection.

    Anyone got any other suggestions until I sent it off for repair (only he got in March and I have a 2 year warranty, but who goes back to college soon and do not want to be without him).

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 k 9.

    Thanks in advance.

    I agree with you, Fraser and think it could be hardware related issue but I don't in any way you can fix it alone. Your laptop must be controlled by the Toshiba service provider.

    Contact the nearest service provider for Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 m 8 slower when you use Power Saver and AC adapter

    I have a toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 8. Windows XP Pro Sp3

    When the pc is running on AC adapter / normal CC it works correctly and quickly, and when I unplug the adapter and run the pc on battery, that it doesn't...

    But here the problem arises when I reconnect the adapter again (the normal supply battery power switching) the speed of the computer goes down.
    It becomes more annoying and slow navigation, menu programs start running, etc...

    It is very sensitive... not a bit...
    I tried to change the controller to the built-in in windows power management and tests of the same case...
    The speed of the computer works properly...

    I guess the problem is with Toshiba PowerSaver.
    Version is: Toshiba PowerSaver 7.03.07.C

    Concerning

    Hello

    I m not quite sure what could be the reasons for this problem but as far as I know, you can assign the different parameters of basic installation of Power Saver, which could affect the performance of the laptops.
    For example; Control method of the CPU, the processing speed of the CPU, cooling method.

    Please check what power profile was chosen after that the AC adapter is plugged in and if necessary modify some parameters mentioned above.

    Good bye

    I have a Satellite L455, which worked perfectly for more than six months now, but two weeks ago he began to behave strangely.

    I turned off the machine normally in the evening I was going to sleep. In the morning when I turned on it it turned on, HARD drive and on power LED blinked blue for a few seconds then they are gone. Machine does not start. I tried to turn it on again and it does the same thing. Then I saw the "power plug on" and "battery on" LED flashes orange at the same time. I unplugged the power adapter. Both lights were continuous blinking but machine will not feed. I removed the battery for a piece of 5 minutes, then reinserted it and the machine has worked all day.

    I went he deleted off the power plug and the morning again it wouldn't start until the when I removed the battery for a few minutes then it works again. The battery recharges very well that when I remove and reinsert it even without connecting the power cable still lights up and works perfectly.

    Then, I removed the battery and the power supply Plug and you press the power button for 30 seconds to unload the machine and then return power and battery and it worked until I turned off again and shutting off the power and then it didn't once again.

    If I stop just of machine and do not turn off the power cord, then I can turn it back on to and work with the machine without hassle even for three days without interruption.

    What could be wrong? Any help will be really appreciated.

    Hi chidzungo,

    It must certainly be a hardware malfunction but he s strange why it pops up every day after you have closed the laptop. Do you use batteries and AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter? Have you connected external devices to your laptop? If so delete them before you turn on your laptop.

    What version of BIOS is installed at the moment? You should look on the Web from Toshiba website for an update. Update of the BIOS might also help and it s worth a try.

    Before you start reading the BIOS BIOS update instructions update [HERE: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60]

    Satellite L455 seems to be an American model, so the BIOS update can be downloaded from the Toshiba U.S. page but first check the exact part number:

    Not that I recommend a repair install, but the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If the computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to reinstall Vista.
