yeh but how do i run diagostics when it just goes blue just few moments into the startup

right i get what u mean but wouldnt it create problem for me when i disable the display driver? I mean with the display driver disabled i wont be able to see anything at all, isnt it? or is there...

so u guys think its deinitely the vido card then eh????

so it must b the onboard video cos i aint got graphics card seperate. memory seemes to work fine for during the safe mode though.

Right heres the error code

*stop: 0x0000008E(XAF79AB75,0XACA25784,0X00000000)

after that it says dumping of physical memory to th disk

windows do load up and the start up programs do load up...

Hi Guys

Its been a while since i been to this site. Well here s the problem. I am having the blue screen coming up saying that there may be some issue with the drivers or something and then the...

See that is what he is trying to avoid. Buying new hardware. Now c'mon guys let those upper floors get working and see what can we get to without him buying new devices.

Now also a suggestion is...

I think what he meant is that windows would give the error as the command is not recognised by it which means either you would have to try finding another command instead of that or MS doin some...

Ahhh...forgot even witht he USB jack to plug the keyboard in it wont work as you have disabled the usb controller havent you??

This is going to be interesting now. I ll get back to you on this one...

Now that could be bit misleading, you know CPU would be the heart of PC. well never mind. It wont be the cpu, but it could be the port where you plug in the keyboard. You can try using hte keymoard...

But the CPU problem would not have let him do other things would it? I mean he was able to use his mouse to get in the system and then mistakenly deactivate teh USB controller. If CPU was the problem...

Or maybe just go to the folder and delete what you dont require. It is unlikely that all 8gb data would be system critical. ANy system critical data would pop up an error sayin that. Skip those and...

I think he meant RAM not RA...quick typing makes u miss bits. He s too busy to notice minor faults like that trying to sort out the issues on here.

Raj

Looks like you are trying a site where it would require a password from you. I aint very sure about these errors as to what they mean but this one says forbidden which means that you would be able to...

Have you tried fiddling with the graphis card if you have one. Check the monitor status on another system as already suggested and see what you get?

Raj

Are you still facing the first issue with your machine then? Also please explain a bit more as to what exactly happens when you go into safe mode? Also does it do the same when you try to start it...

No problem man, i tried doing it a while back, thought maybe it ll work but nope.

Raj

Well as long as it works we are all smiles then.

I was just wondering about the Superantispyware cos I never heard of it so thought something like that could cause the problem sometimes. No need...

Have you tried to scan your laptop for any possible infection? ALso would be advisable if you could have alook at the windows firewall as well mate.

Raj

Are you asking for a Windows 2000 pro installation disk? What do you mean by the start-up disk otherwise??

Raj

Which page did you say that was disappeared? Is it the home page? Is it still letting you connect to the net and letting you download or even that is not possible anymore???

Raj

Have you tried fiddling withthe settigs in the internet options to see if they let you access the sites?

What does the error message say when you try to access them?

Raj

Yeh and if all else fail then....


...format the entire drive. If system restore does not work then you can always try getting it sorted using the repair install of windows.

Raj

Nothing seems to be out of ordinary on the log here unless i missed out something apart from the SUPERAntiSpyware which sounds a bit dodgy. Can you restart the system in safe mode and then see if you...

Did you register with the site or something that you downloaded? How can they be demanding money like that?

I think you might be able to get rid of them by changing the security settings in...

Are you sure your powers upply is sufficient for the system. Give us a breakdown of the specs if you dont mind please. Maybe the power supply cant handle the load of the system that well.

It could...

You can always create different user account enabling password login where other account users would not be able to access the folder you want to lock.

I don't think xp has any options to put a...

Mike did it not show any change when you took out the cmos battery to reset the bios?? If you haven't tried it then i'd say give it a go and hopefully we ll see a ray of light.

Raj

No problem mate. We ll pick up where we left when you come back.

Raj

Another search also gave me the same page here s the link man...i hope it works for ya
...

Here sir, i have managed to find this driver for a 9140i cd writer. I know its not 9100i but thats what i found on hp site so far. See if this wroks if not then give us a shout. I ll keep looking...

Yeah try EMC's solution and I'll check if i could find the driver for the drive itself. It should be ont he cd that comes with the drive though, if you have it obviously

may be you need to update the drivers for the drive to make it work then. Have you tried that option.

Raj

have you tried swapping the ide slots on the mobo with others and see if that brings up something. Or maybe if you have any spare drive at hand try changing it and see what happens. I know it ll be...

so even pressing f8 it does not give you boot options and straight away takes you to the login screen???

Raj

Try swapping the IDE cables for the cd drive may be that could be causing hte problem.

Raj

What do you mean? Have you formatted the hard disk too many times that it gives you some trouble?? Be more specific mate please.

Raj

Have you got anything on that disk, could be some dodgy applications maybe....

Raj

ask around with ur friends and family if they have a similar dell system then you should be able to use theirs, but other than that I can't suggest whether you can download them, I could be wrong on...

Have you tried to reset your cmos? maybe that solves your problem.
