Suspishio

I had the same symmptoms a couple of years ago. I didn't take notes of what I did so I'm working from memory. Basically, my Windows system simply went out of a state of grace. It may have been a defrag that did it - but suddenly a whole load …

I've had similar problems in the past and found the convertor useless. So I bought the USB mouse/keyboard. End of problem.

[B]1.[/B] If you stay at 1024x768 everything will appear pretty much as it did on your CRT. 1680 x 1050 is superb resolution and frickinaj's advice about 120dpi is good. [B]2.[/B] This is aknown LG fault. So keep the screen bright. [B]3.[/B] Yes - DVI output is worth a modest …

Shot in the dark (because google has zilch on this): Is your BIOS set to Legacy USB? Pure guess and sorry if it comes to nothing.

You should be able to take ownership of the folder (via the Properties/Security/Advanced menu) and then you would be able to delete it.

There is a registry VALUE (not key) you could look at with Regedit PowerDownAfterShutdown If the DATA value is 1, change it to 0 and see if it restores the items. If that works, we can go on to look at how the value came to be 1.

In my experience, when a PC dies just like that and when the PSU appears to be OK, either the mobo failed or there was a power glitch that fried the mobo. Not what you wanted to hear I suspect.

On most mobos, the power light comes on when the CPU signals ready for the BIOS (something like that). So it would be a very brave person to suggest to you that the mobo is OK and it's something else that needs fixing! I rather think it's met both its …

You won't lose anything. Just let the install work naturally and do as caperjack says. I've done this upgrade before. A registry cleanup afterwards won't hurt.

With Nero.

The New Normal has put it spot on and I'll just put that another way and add a suggestion. 1/ You are at least the 0.25GB better off by having added 1GB RAM. 2/ Assuming the 8600 to have 512MB RAM, this is added to the 3.25MB (actually it's subtracted …

It would help if you reported the port numbers rather than the colours. The port numbers are printed on the mobo. Anyway, is there anything of a RAID flavour lurking in there? The BIOS settings - what have you got for Storage Configuration SATA n (where n is the port …

I suppose the thing you don't wanna hear is that there may be a bad batch of Tosh laptops. If the above doesn't work, you know what you're gonna have to do - and it's damn inconvenient.

You've got a problem then. The suggestion in HoustonIT's post was that, using another PC, you download and burn to CD a bootable disk with which you can use the DOS type utilities to see what's wrong with your hard disk. Take a look at the V6000 documentation (page B1) …

If you can't do what cguan_77 suggests, then you can remove the HDD from your laptop, put it into an external USB enclosure (of the right type - IDE or SATA) and connect the drive to another PC to get your files off. Hope that helps.

The most likely cause is a power glitch that has zapped your mobo. The PSU itself may have been the cause or there was a mains spike. If it was RAM, the PC would beep during boot and put up a message. If booting can't get that far, then the …

Did you search this site and come across this post? [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread163930.html[/url] You're lucky (I hope) - you've two methods on offer including MBAM from Jholland1964 (Judy). f you really can't run anything, then my suggested method is worth a go (well it is anyway).

best is to use the Windows repair function off the Windows CD. You'll probably end up redoing the FDISK (to get the NBR right), then Format, then Windows Install.

It's almost as if the PC has booted up but can't tell you because the display isn't showing. Does that make sense? Is the gap between hard didsk lights coming on and going off the same as your normal boot time? Or is it more like the time to get …

That depends on the VGA card. The x4 setting is what pumops up the PCI-E slot to x16.

We need to know a lot more before we can advise. What is the spec of your computer? What's running when it freezes? What are the exact symptoms of the freeze? Must you reboot or what? Info, info, info.

There are two ways of curing this that I know of - although my experience with this is XP not Vista. 1/ On one PC, I had a similar/same message. This turned out to be a registry problem which could only be solved by a restore point (which I didn't …

What can you do after booting up? There is another thread from a year back with the same problem. Have a search for it.

Unless I'm mistaken, you'll either have a TV drivers disk or you can download one from the Samsung site. That will at least enable Properties to see your TV used as monitor. Next, to get beyond 800x600 which drives at 75Hz vertical refresh rate, you need to set the refresh …

Intel 815 goes to maximum 512MB RAM Intel 850 goes to maximum 2GB RAM. You can go to [url]www.cpuid.com[/url] and download CPUZ. When you run it it'll tell you what your chipset is on the Mainboard Tab. But if this is a P4 @ 1.7GHz, that's dead lame and you …

You should re-post this on the virus/spyware page. Perhaps read one or two of the posts first and provide the registry evidence etc. that most people offer when reqursting assistance. We have to be specific on these problems.

... and you can blow cold air at the CPU from an external fan; I've had to do this when the case of my Quaddie was open. Does this phenomenon occur when the case is closed? If so, are you sure all the fans are working and correctly extracting hot …

Not enough info. Laptop model? Charge has a light? Is the light on? Does battery exhaust & then recharge to 6%? On the face of it, you might need to recalibrate the battery. It can only stand so many recharges and then eithger goes phutt or remembers its lasrt setting …

There is a Windows Security Center prompt that comes up where AV software has been uninstalled and the Security Center settings have remained in place to check that you are protected. To be sure it's Windows providing the prompt, you could include a screen shot next time you post. The …

The classic checks when you switch on are: 1 The keyboard lights should flash 2 The fans should be audible 3 The disk light should flash and you should hear the disk whirr If nothing more happens (i.e. the disk doesn't click and there is no display), then there are …

You're well infected. Lots of DLLs like tuvuusSl.dll. Have a look at other posts involving Crunchie and take the actions recommended/detailed there. You could probably work your way through it without spoiling Crunchie's day. I use a different method which you can find by searching on the word "Virtunonde". Although …

In case it helps, I'll repeat what I advised in another post. ------------------------------------- The classic checks when you switch on are: 1 The keyboard lights should flash 2 The fans should be audible 3 The disk light should flash and you should hear the disk whirr If nothing more happens …

Did your PST file reach the 2GB limit? If it did, SCANPST.EXE might save what it can, but some will be lost. Read up on SCANPST carefully as it sometimes doesn't produce the expected result (not so in my case, I'm happy to say). Outlook 2007 lets you set up …

I suggest you try this: 1/ Right click on your desktop 2/ Select Properties --> settings tab --> Advanced --> Monitor 3/ You should see "Screen refresh rate:" in the dropdown menu 4/ Select Monitor default or 60 Hertz. From what I've seen before, this is a screen refresh rate …

Well, you are infected but you should be posting in the Virus/Spyware forum. To help you though, it's brastk.exe and you'll need to focus all your effeorts on getting rid of it quickly. Stop the process straight away and check if it re-appears. Early remediation can be attempted by looking …

Does the power charger have a light and is it on? These units are often the culprits. if it's not a power issue, then it's inside the laptop and unless it's in warranty, it's a lot of hassle.

Your motherboard is limited to a P4 at 3.4GHz and you can check this out at: [url]http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=158[/url] I think the long term problem you're gonna face is that the fps on modern games will barely reach 30 no matter what you do. Newer games need newer mobos with faster front …

You should download WinZip - you get a 30 day free trial. When you've installed it, you drag the folder containing the files of interest to the Winzip panel or Icon and it will produce a compressed zip file. When you set up Wizip, you can select Legacy compression which …

On the Virus /Spyware forum you'll see what has to be done to properly investigare this sort of thing. Seems like you've been whammed by that trojan they were worried about earlier this month for which MS issued an emergency patch for IE. Anyway, you'll need Administrator privileges to get …

I had a similar (but not identical) problem with my XP 64 system; I couldn't display any system properties in the admin screen and my AV system was reported as not present. On loading, Windows said that the Registry had been changed and that it had recovered but somethings might …

You can see the problem we have in providing advice (and there is advice we can give). To put it bluntly, we don't know you or whether you are the legitimate owner of the laptop. I doubt that you'll get an answer on the forum without someone known vouching for …

I'm pleased that your SPSS now runs faster than before. In fact it had to if you notched up th GHz and RAM. But your PC supplier is wrong about Pentium 4 vs Intel Core2 Duo. Look at this comparison and you'll see what I mean. [url]http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html[/url] If your new …

I agree with the others that there are things to look for before suspecting the internal graphics. If it isn't anything else based on the foregoing advice, then I suspect that you can add a cheap PCI graphics card after finding the motherboard bridge that must be pulled to disable …

These compound situations are really frustrating. You could put the HDD into a USB enclosure and manually adjust the boot.ini file back to original settings via another PC. Outside chance it'll work - you should have made a copy of the original boot.ini. But a blank screen isn't caused by …

I think you could do with cleaning your registry out to deal with those "file missing" cases. I would also remove BitCometHO.dll from your system and registry as this snoops on you. XAUDIO.EXE - well I would suppress it. Better gurus than me would know whether there is something in …

Before you go to the trouble of doing what HoustonIT recommends (and it needs a bit of reasoning out and interpreting), have a look at this that I captured from elsewhere and judge whether or not you have picked up a bddie from somewhere: [COLOR="Green"]I just fixed the Error 1058 …

I reckon you'll need to put this onto the Viruses/Spyware forum if you want this dealt with. It's 90% Vundo oriented and you'll get a good idea of how to interpret your HijackThis log if one of the gurus doesn't help you out 'cos it's Chrimbo. I posted an alternative …

You might also consider this and let us know: 1/ What do you want the video card to do better than it does now? Which application(s)? 2/ What makes you think that an improved video card is the solution to the proble I hope you'll describe in response to my …

Sorry not to be able to diagnose you out of your cup of woe. This strikes me as begging the question as to why the customer returned the PC. A hard disk from another identical PC wold boot on a non-defective PC. The CD is a neutrl boot device and …

In my experience with this laptop, the battery is the vulnerable item. They go even on new 6000s - like it did on mine after a few hours. Then the thing is dead even with mains power provided. This laptop is frankly awful and I hope you didn't pay much …
