That there is your problem! Get the correct disk and you should be OK.

I'm going to agree with caperjack on this one. Sounds like your LCD backlight has burned out. They only last so long. You should contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Do you have the Dell Quickset Application installed? There is a setting in there to enable/disable the network adapter(s) depending on your power settings. Very tricky if you don't know about it!

I'm trying to restore a laptop back to an earlier time with Windows XP System Restore. It's been going for about 4.5 hours now. I'm afraid it might be frozen!

Is it safe to turn off or restart the...

I will try manually editing the registry using the regedit plug in for BartPE. But for now I need to get back in touch with the user and see when I get them back into the office.

Thank you...

Oh that's awesome! I am familiar with BartPE. I am glad there is an option to use that. I will look into that. I have to get back in touch with the user now............

I think method 2 would work.....

What do you think?

Ah yes! I'm sorry I forgot to mention that this particular laptop does not have that option (although I have worked on several that have had it). Any other ideas?

Does anyone know of a way to disable auto restart on system failure that does not require being in Windows? I've got a laptop that will not start Windows in ANY mode (including Safe Mode) and a blue...

Use the CD that she installed the software with originally to do a "repair" install which will replace missing or corrupted files and [hopefully] set everything straight once again.

Maybe its the video you are playing or your monitor. The display is only dim when playing a video in Windows Media Player?

chkdsk /f is the command you enter into the command prompt. This means chkdsk will automatically try to Fix any errors that it fines.

By blue screen, do you mean the "blue screen of death"?

Get the error code and look it up on Google or Microsoft's website.

You should now mark the thread solved. (If this forum has that feature)

The program you updated corrupted your TCP or LSP stacks. Search Google for "LSPFix" and "WinsockFix"/ Those are two great and free programs which will repair your Windows networking files.

Depends on the router you have. I have a Linksys, and I know there is a logging feature built-in. You can access the settings through the router's web configuration settings.
