  next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

  Thank you

  There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

  I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

  OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

  I hope that this post will save someone having to wait 5 weeks invest hours of work for a solution that took 3 minutes!

  This happens with two floppies different usb connected directly to a laptop (not a hub). When connecting to another XP computer, the disks are immediately recognized in the file manager and work as expected.

  Any ideas?

  It's embarrassing, BUT I solved the problem by using TweakIU. It seems that in the workstation. The floppy drives were not verified. Verification of A & B readers did the trick.

• Windows xp pro sp3 will not start corrupted boot.ini and hal.dll - please help

  I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

  These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

  1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

  2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

  3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

  Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER.

• Windows XP Pro SP3, OEM in Dell D600 "not responding" on every article, every time, all the windows

  My DELL D600 has OEM Windows XP Pro SP3, and netframeworks all or almost suddenly started not ANSWER DO NOT each time. I don't know what went wrong, it's driving me crazy. I can't afford to upgrade.

  I tried the fixit from Microsoft online, no luck.

  I uninstalled a few programs, perhaps thinking it's too full. Still no luck.

  Whenever I use any folder window, or any element of the queue at all, the same thing happens, every time. "Not responding" delays on the window or the desktop contains the item. Must hit Ctl + Alt + Delete at least twice, if not 3 - 4 times.  Each 'entry' lasts for a number of at least 26 and often much longer.  Basically, Windows is not very functional.

  I have two OEM for Dell, not sure that I put here (I was wondering if I should repair-installation Windows), but worried to destroy my Office Server installations that have 3 WordPress developments.  I can't afford to destroy the.

  Any ideas to FIX this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Good, minor success.

  The returned quickly file number, but a re - check with Roguefix showed, it was not clear, no change in System.

  I therefore decided to start uninstalling things, hoping to uninstall accidentally the culprit.

  First I stripped all the netframeworks and the SPs.  Has failed, file number remained.

  I then started to uninstall programs. After uninstalling programs a half-dozen, suddenly THE FILES ARE WORKING AGAIN!  Don't ask me why.

  Then, I rebuilt my netframeworks and SPs.

  Then, I clicked to access Microsoft Updater to get up to speed.

  IT WILL NOT BE UPDATED.  Failed! is what I get.  It says the software needed TO be updated is not in my HD and offer a download. When I try to download and install failed!  It will be not even installed that.

  This goes back to the same "cause" - for reasons unknown the last 4-6 weeks, installing any updates in my DELL D600 Windows XP Pro OEM.  Initially, they install.  Then begins the phase were some updates installed, others down without reason.

  Then, no updates would be installed.  That was BEFORE I plucked executives trying to solve the issue of records.

  It is not even asking me to install the real test happened before, I think that.  I think it was in August 2013 or almost.

  I'm desperate to get the updates, if you have an idea on how to help me.

  Thank you.

• Office jet pro 8600 connect with router but not recognized on the network

  I just installed new router e1200 lonksys. JO HP 8600 pro connects with the router, but the printer cannot see 8600. IP 169.254.223.37 on said install ip is the placeholder and printer not connected. have restarted once 1000 and tried to reconnect. New router has OMP and thrust of 3 seconds the button on the router. Also failed to connect on the router definition reviews

  8600 worked fine on the old router. Problem started when I connected the router after that cable modem connected then modem vonage. Previous setting was cable - vonanage and wireless router - all worked well then.

  Also downloaded 8600 new complete software after losing the Wi - Fi connection - please help!

  If the Ethernet cable is plugged into the printer, it will disable the wireless radio.

  If this is not the case in the network menu, network by default.  Then, in the same network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

  If this does not work, we will come on your new router a bit.

• After being opened for a while (with several tabs) Firefox does generally and repeatedly play a sound - video will play again, but not sound.

  This problem started happening only recently. I often keep my Firefox open all night with sites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs, including but not limited to Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit. Sometimes, after a few hours/days to not restart Firefox or my computer, Firefox starts to become insensitive - i.e., pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser and videos will have up to 30 seconds to start playing. In addition, the sound stops playing. If I start a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive load, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, sites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, stop sound.

  Note that this is different from an incident of flash plugin - when flash falls down, the audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; If I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens the same way again until I restart my computer completely.

  Also of note: I had, in the past, this same thing happens, but rainymood.com continued to play, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I don't know where to start. Also, sometimes it's only a problem of Firefox specific, which means other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my computer all stop making sounds, with the exception of Ventrilo, which works, but is also insensitive in the beginning.

  The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
  Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

  To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

• my epson sx110 will print pictures but not print letters of text What is wrong, that it was OK before

  my printer will print pictures but no text letters can you tell me why

  Hello

  1 when was the last time it was working fine?

  2. do you get any error code/messages?

  3. what version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

  4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  5. did you check the black ink level?

  I suggest to check the settings of the printer and make sure it is set up for photos and text. You can also clean the print head and check. Check the manual of the printer for the same thing.

  If that is not enough then you can uninstall the driver , and then install the latest driver on the manufacturer's Web site.

• DVD/CD drive will read DVD but not CD

  My DVD player plays DVD but not CD.  Whenever I try to play a CD, the player is a kind of hum noise.  Finally, the Player opens and a popup tells me to insert a disc.

  I tried a system restore and the automated Microsoft fixit tool.  Nothing has worked.

  I use Vista Ultimate.

  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
  solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
  that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

• CD burner will play CDs but not burn correctly

  I have Dell inspiron 1720 I bought 1 year ago (just in time for the guarantee at the end) and the CD/DVD writer will play media correctly, but when I try to burn CDs of any type they will not play in any stereo at all. When the problem started they would play but a few songs would be crackling, now they don't play at all. My records are closed properly so I tried to download the driver from dell.com, but when I open it, it will not install because it says I need to close applications even if everything is closed. I don't know if it's a driver problem or what, but I need a CD burner, who works for the school!

  
  

• Myriad Pro Light usable in Photoshop, but not visible in the font book.

  I can't locate a font. We have recently upgraded to CS5 and one of our designers needed a font I used in a previous file. I saved the Myriad family are doing to him, but 'Light' was absent from the family in fontbook, even if I am able to use it in Photoshop and Adobe programs. When he opens my files, however, he received a warning from the police saying that he isn't Myriad Pro light. My question is, why I am able to use it even if it is not in Fontbook, could it be stored somewhere else?

  
  

  It's just a text file containing the information cached on the fonts.

  If you are able to see the police in other Adobe applications, then try this:

  1. launch InDesign

  2. create a new document

  3. create a text block

  4. type text

  5. Select the text and apply the police

  6. go to the menu Type and click find a police...

  7 select the font in the list fonts in the Document

  8. click on the more info button

  A named Info box. You will find the path to the font file.
