mmm indeed
What Antivirus do you run?
What you really should do is to get it into Safe Mode, login as you would then run the system scan for whatever anti-virus programme you run. Then once it has scanned your entire system see if has found any nasties. Delete the nasties using the AV programme, then reboot and see what happens. If it continues post back.

Has it only happened one time or does it now always happen when you boot up the laptop?

Oh well, all cars show both on the dials. Modern day cars that is, old cars didn't have speedo's!

From the site that i use to diagnose problems:
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software.
Have you changed any drivers for anything recently? Such as a graphics card driver, or have you added any hardware recently?
I think your problem could be down to not having the right driver for the phone installed. Can you get into the computer via Safe Mode? Tap F8 when laptop starting up.

What company supplies your internet? If it's BT then that's the problem. BT cut down a lot on some Torrents.

From your attachment you can use the following RAM types:
DDR PC2700
DDR PC3200
DDR PC4000
You are currently using DDR PC3200 in two of the four slots available. Seeing as you have the same RAM type as me, when i upgraded my RAM i jumped from 512Mb up to 2 Gb buy just buying two 1Gb sticks, and replacing the existing two 256Mb ones. As long as you get one of the three types of RAM i mentioned, your computer will benefit immensely. Also changing RAM over is a simple job. If you want details on changing over RAM do post back.

Have you installed any new device drivers recently. Such as for a graphics card or some piece of other Hardware?
Have you reinstalled anything by Roxio? It normally comes as standard on some laptops/computers?
Also have you had a Virus or any other nasty recently? What Anti-Virus program do you run? e.g. Norton, AVG etc.

Do you run Windows Vista or XP?
Beacuse for that error code the site that i use says the following:
"
0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)

Have you done any …

Not the right bit :P
If you look to the far left of the screen it will have 4 banks showing in a formation of 2 at the top of the box and 2 just below them. The 2 at the top will have 512Mb in them each, underneath the two that have 512Mb written in them see the attached picture if you don't understand what i mean.
The part circled is the part that we need to know!

Thanks, sorry for the confusion :)

Well i tried it out the removal tool yesterday, but it took hours to remove Norton GoBack, so today is the day that i try it out. I'll post back later on today if fully uninstalling and reinstalling works.

From what i have heard, they have found up to 20 different dimensions! So yeah physics could show infinite dimensions.

Going back to the question at hand, i doubt the planets lining up would cause the magnetic poles of the earth to move. There would have to be an extremely powerful event to cause that to happen. But the planets moving into a line would be a field day for astronomers, but i just can't see the world panic-ing over a calender that stops in 2012. Scarily enough in 2012, the last place in England (South East & London region) turns over to digital TV. So that could be the issue that the Mayans where predicting....

In addition to the previous program posted, you can also try this:
http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/loader.aspx?Agree=Yes
Crucial offer all kinds of RAM at good prices, and their scan system programme helped me when i upgraded my RAM from 512Mb to 2Gb.
For running the QuickScan application, download the application from the link above, then run it. It will then open up your browser and tell you the results. On the left hand side, check under the Specifications heading and it will say how many slots you have, and what you have in the slots if anything. Under the slots that have RAM in them, it will say what type of RAM it is.
E.g. DDR PC3200.
Then if you want to buy the upgrades from Crucial, they show you varying options that you could buy. Or you can take this information with you, and buy the RAM elsewhere.

If your computer has AGP slot it may look like this:
[img]http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews/iwillbd133/images/pci_t.jpg[/img]
Colours may vary from brown to white to black.

Edit: AGP slots are always set off more away from the motherboard than normal PCI and PCI Express slots.

I only run a single X1600XT Radeon, it does the job better than the previous one, so i happy. And i got it at a reasonable price. Bargain.

The easiest way to find out, is to open up the case of your PC, find the gfx card (look for where your monitor plugs into the back of the case) Then look for tiny writing along the side of the gfx card on the motherboard. If it is PCI it would say "PCI EXPRESS x16". If it does not say that then you are looking at an AGP slot. When did you get this computer? PCI-Express is now the norm for most computers.

lol
Every Country apart from the UK use kph while we Brits stick to mph that i can think of.

You mean the 2008 version?
I still running the 2007 version, could this be the issue?
Seeing as it still error's itself now and again.

lol, i will try that at the weekend Mike, seeing as i am bogged down with college work all week. :P

I would uninstall the drivers, and see how it goes from there.
Do you plug in the MP3 player (like a memory stick) or does it have a USB cable that connects your MP3 player with the computer?
Because maybe the cable is broken, it can happen occasionally.

If u want a gaming laptop, alien-ware would be your best bet. They have high powered gfx cards pre-installed. But they as bennet said, non changeable.

Most accidents are caused by idiot drivers driving way to powerful cars, they can't handle them properly, doing stupid things. Like overtaking on roundabouts, blind corners and doing 100+ on the motorways.

i don't like the iPhone tbh.
Pointless overpriced silly machine.

Thanks to all congratses :P

Good luck hbk :)

I don't use Linux, Bennet on the other hand is a Linux nerd so stretch his brain to it's limits :D

Hi, i'm the infamous 2nd year-er of BTEC National Software Development course.
You stuck on something in particular?

The provisional license costs £45 ($90 ish) then when you pass it is upgraded to a full license free of charge.

I think he has a stretched Jaguar.
The Queen has a Rolls Royce, that is bullet proof!

I'd like a wireless router for my home.
Unless i buy one before Xmas.

Yay, passed my driving test first time :)
Only 9 minor marks :D

Beat that Bennet when you actually start :P

Ford also own Aston Martin as well :P
Then you have the other two giants along with Ford, Daimler-Chrysler and GM (General Motors), which own a multitude of other car makers

Mine says
"Old Enchanter" for full name
and
"Master Veteran" for just my first name :P
And for Serunson it says:
"Old Pupil"
I think Master Veteran works for me :)

Ouch!
Looks like Linksys is the way I should go...

Can i have an input other than your mate :P :D

I used to have that happen to me, but it seems to have gone back to how it should be now.

lol bennet!
Tony Blair is as bad as Gordon Brown, silly Scottish people running England. Curses!
Why can't England run itself?!? Silly Scotland...

If i had the opportunity to learn any guitar, i would jump at the chance!
As such it's my 'favourite' instrument

Yeah that too, i knew i forgot summit, ADSL is how my internet comes to me.
What else other than a Linksys could i get, i hear Netgear are also not bad. But i here bad stories about Belkin.

I guess it could work, having three or four monitors. But you would need some sort of software to send the right part of the desktop to the right monitor.
That i think would be your greatest challenge in setting it up.

Currently i am looking for a Wireless router with a Desktop USB adapter or a wireless PCI card to go with the router.
What i am looking for is something under £100 (around about $200) that works well for gaming, general surfing of the internet and the occasional download of various files sizes.
What would you experts recommend for a BT 2.2Mbps connection speed.
I would be running a desktop XP Home SP2 computer and a XP pro Laptop off of this network. What would be your recommendations?
Apparently Linksys are good (according to Bennet that is)
So does anyone know of a good wireless router?

Thanks in advance

Serunson

Yeah, normally a single better card with more things that come with it is better than two lower cards with less options, trying to be as good as the card with more options.

I used to have a fair bit until the Coffee House rep deletion saga.
4 blocks, I will never have that amount ever again :( <Sob>

lol
Leicester has the biggest Asian events outside of Asia!
:D

Is the light on the front of the drive bay always on?

lol why though, it's not like i haven't been here like a week or summit!?!
I have a decent amounts of posts, lousy amount of rep <sigh>
The only person here who actually knows me is Bennet :D

Back to the issue at hand,
Legal immigration is fine, in small doses. In England we have a large work force of Polish people, i have nothing against them at all, seeing as most of them are plumbers, electricians etc.
But the most bizarre place is Leicester in England. It is the only place in Britain where the British nationals are out-populated by immigrants :D

I am now 39th in the posting rankings! :)
Bennet is sad and is 2nd :P
Of course our master Dani is first in the post count ranks with a massive 11,547 posts!
:)

What amount of RAM did you upgrade from?
If it was 2Gb and you have placed in another 1Gb, XP doesn't show it because it can't!
It's a funny issue that i am not to clear on myself.
Are you checking the 'control panel -> system' link to see the amount of RAM?

ATi and Nvidia are fairly even in price to be honest, but i would go for ATi purely because i have used their products more and i know what the software/hardware can/cant do.

It's a hit and miss whether the auto-protect error happens or not, so far every other turn on and off. But still no reply from them, i used a hotmail e-mail address, was this the wrong think to use, because i got the confirmation e-mail through but no response.
