Can you boot into safe mode? Is it running in safe mode slows down your computer too?

I have check your program but I didn't see anything wrong from it. I could see that you have this blue screen from some time now so it could be the Windows system itself.

Do THIS first and post a new thread HERE. They'll help you out further...

Check the hard disk. Your symptom pinpoints that it's your HDD is the causes for your problem.

Did you try to uninstall the recent games from safe mode? And also check the startup for any faulty programs that try to run when your computer is starting.

Click on Start and type msconfig in the blank white area just above the seven windows start icon.

Hi and welcome to Daniweb!
I can't fully understand what's the problem you're having so can you explain it in a bit more details?

Don't worry. I won't bite...

It may happen due to programs or software you're running are conflicting with Windows and causes windows to malfunction thus trigger this error. Most suspected program would be antivirus itself or third-party firewall or any malware remover software...

If possible, download DDS from beeping computer and run it. It should produce two logs on your desktop...

Just attach the 'Attach.log' files here or simply copy paste the content here so I can check what program that cause the problem...

So your laptop is not starting at all and you can't see a thing. Try clearing the heatsink, make sure there is no dust to rule out an overheating issue. Can you try reseating the graphic card.

Jingda, you miss the other point again...

My Compaq Presario laptop is 4-5 year old

You can check it HERE but there's no compability testing for custom pc or HERE

If there's not any of your motherboard list there, I fear it might be so... You can go here for further support and post a thread with your problem. I'm sure they can attend to your problem much better than me.

Hi, I urgently need some IT support for my PC fan controller. I bought an Fan Speed Controller from a vendor, They offered a good item but do not offer the instruction to install. Should anybody give me some tips how to handle it? The item I bought is from the link below.

http://www.sourcingmap.com/adjustable-channel-pin-connector-fan-speed-controller-for-p-127180.html

Any helpful tips will be much appreciated.

Hi, please make your own thread for the problem you're in so we can attend to your problem personally...

You could try to unplug the fan you just installed and check whenever the problem still persist...

When this blue screen is happening?

You know that doing that will cause you to lost all your data unless you have back it up.

He can back it up after he change his HDD and connect the faulty HDD and copy files that's still readable...

Windows 7 would not cause that problem. The only thing that may be the problem is BIOS setting and computer specs compability or it could be some hardware conflict like graphic card etc.. Perhaps you might need to update your BIOS or check your computer motherboard compability with Linux OS.

Which browser you're using right now?
If you used different browser aside from IE, they usually be located somewhere in their temp directory ((%windir%\Doc~\User\AppData\Temp)) and in their installation directory

You need to unhide in folder option to see the folder you want to see...

Hi and welcome to Daniweb!

When you power on your laptop, does all hardware working ie. fan, HDD, etc. except screen?

When was the last you used and it still worked?

But AFAIK, Windows cannot mount, read or write to anything other than NTFS or FAT based file-systems. And the partition you have Ubuntu on will be formatted in ext3 or ext4, which are Linux/Unix file-systems which cannot be read by Windows. This is why you are unable to read anything on the Ubuntu partition when logged into Windows.

Windows will be able to see the 'D:\' partition, but because it contains an incompatible file-system, Windows will not be able to access it.

So to sum up, you can access your Windows partition from Ubuntu, but you won't be able to access your Ubuntu partition from Windows!

Pretty much agree with you about it. Windows can usually detect partition that it recognize like NTFS and FAT but it can't detect Linux partition nor read from it...

Dual boot Install side-by-side does different things. It was installed on NTFS partition and Windows recognize the partition and Ubuntu folder system but can't open it due to high system protection that Linux use compare to Windows...

Ok and it is indicating yellow sign

Then your firefox and any browser is fine. You just need to check the internet connection.

Do this one by one...

- Reset (Off and On) your router. Make sure DNS and Internet light do blink or stay lit
- Unplug ethernet cable from both side (computer and router) and reseat them properly afterwards. You might want to check the cable condition first for any external problem
- Lastly check your driver in Device Manager (uninstall the network driver you're using. Then select scan for Hardware Changes and it'll install the missing driver automatically. Restart afterwards.

Kindly please post back here for results...

change BIOS setting from AHCI to IDE and try installing again or you may have to download the 64-bit of Ubuntu...

By the way, are you downloading x84 version or x64 version of Ubuntu/Zorin?

and another question... can you give me the specific location where your installation get stuck?

or you could try to update from IE instead. You may need to run from IE just once and the rest of the updates will run automatically...

To update from IE, open IE, click on Help and select Check for updates...

Before you had this kind of problem, what did you do on your computer?
Sometimes you just had to backtrack what you're doing to correct the problem...

Also check the running program in Task Manager as well and kill process that is unneeded one by one and try google again on each process. Some programs sometimes do interfere with the internet and some website...

If that won't work. Try it on Safe Mode with Networking...

It could be that all your browser is fine, only your internet connection doesn't working. On the internet access icon on system tray, did it show a small yellow exclamation icon or a red X icon?

Maybe you could try to use live-USB instead. It's much faster to install from USB rather than from CD from my experience in installing Ubuntu.

Linux can run in almost every partition given but prefer ext format for better performance but in exchange, windows would not detect your ubuntu partition and won't mount when you try to access it through windows.

NTFS also fine but Linux may have problem running on it and slower compare to ext format.

Instead of booting to live-linuxOS, when you boot live-cd or live-usb, just proceed to install immediately for faster installation but it can't update any missing files that is available through online...

One of the system folks left the company under suspicious circumstances so we did a massive search for files he touched and found one called time_bomb. I 'typed' it to see what was in it and the screen locked up - total heart failure until I realized the file was just a couple million lines of cr-lf. When my heart rate returned to normal, I had a good laugh and later mail-bombed him.

Not really batch file prank.

lol... looks fun
can you share that file here?

If HDDregenerator or similar HDD checking program found bad sectors on your HDD (usually only one bad sector would be enough to label it as spoil), it would be best to buy a new one instead or if that HDD still under warranty, just RMA it.

HDD with bad sector mostly unrepairable and would cause a lot of problem to work with it. From my experience, HDD repairing software would not actually repair those bad sector, it just make HDD to ignore those sector and work like normal but it would be useless if those bad sector do happen on WINDOWS directory...

I don't actually hate windows 7 but I actually hate by the facts that M$ wants to ditch Windows XP for good. You can see some windows 7 feature upgrades that is only available to either Vista and 7, not XP which makes XP fans user a bit frustruated... I'm still an XP user and I don't think I want to upgrade mine to Win7 just yet, maybe a couple more years before I changed my mind.

There are two ways to install Nvidia drivers.

Step 1
- Plug your nvidia graphic card to your motherboard and switch your vga cable to the new graphic card vga port.
- Boot your pc, it should run properly till you got to windows desktop.
- (Make sure you have the correct driver for your graphic card or it won't install the drivers)
- Now go to where you download the graphic drivers (6200) and run it's exe. It should prompt you to install your graphic driver properly.
- Reboot once the installation is done.
- Your graphic card should run perfectly

Step 2 (Risky and maybe more confusing)
(You may need to create system restore point before trying this method)
- Do not plug in your graphic card just yet and boot your computer
- It should be booting till windows desktop.
- (from here you need to download Nvidia 6 series driver which was already extracted and should have [nv4_disp.inf] to do this manually)
- If you have one, proceed to Device Manager and double-click the icon under Display.
- Choose manual installation and select install by yourself and you should be prompt to a windows with list of drivers.
- Select Have Disk and direct it to where your correct driver is in. It should found [nv4_disp.inf] by default and select ok, it should list out all drivers in the …

If other games run just fine, it could be that GTA IV has much higher specs to follow or it could be that the game was modded... Check your game installation again whether it was modified and check it's minimum and optimal requirements.

Your cd-rom might actually use SATA cable (red thin cable) instead of IDE cable (usually white and wide cable) so if you set yours from AHCI (Sata) to IDE, most SATA hardware will not work...

Usually setting up ACHI or IDE just to detect an external HDD with USB port seems unlikely to happen because external can run in both mode without any problem.

To confirms things up, you can try with another external (if you had another one) and test it on your computer. If it can't detect yours, then that means you have a missing driver that can let external to run in AHCI mode.

Do make sense and happen to most of the thread all the time. So who is going to help him?

If he reply, the first poster should handle him... And I'm pretty sure he looks for someone who has high post as well... If you want, you can handle him... ^^

You'll need to install Microsoft Bus Driver first before HD Audio driver could be installed successfully.

You'll probably don't understand Japanese so just scroll down till you found a link looks like this but it's for WinXP. there's a Vista driver as well but I don't know the OS you're running right now...

0610VXP1.EXE( 96,256,474 Bytes)

Download it and run it. If it's installer language is Japanese as well, reply here back so I can guide you step-by-step for it... (Only do this if you use WinXP)

Maybe you haven't finalize the DVD yet from your camcorder or the video files in your DVD is hidden... Try to check them both first

I need you to reply immediately regardless whether you solved your problem or not.

For old version of yahoo mail,

there will be a box that says attach at the top left hand corner when you create a new mail

For the new version that just came out
There will be a box that says attachment with a paperclip sign

Open you eyes big and look for it!

Well... I think he just like JUST one person to attend with his problem. When too many people asking, he just simply ignore it... Right now or later, it's a waste of time waiting for him replying anyway...

If he do reply, just let one person help him and the rest help other people...

vbdl.exe always have issue with extracting jpg files back to normal because of the max compression put upon those files to save space but normally jpg files won't do any significant free space after compression is done.

Can you give me the link for the vbdl.exe and all the extractor you try to used? I want to confirm it was vbdl.exe fault, not the extractor itself...

Are other USB devices can be detected on your computer? If yes, then of course there's a problem either the USB external cable or Windows itself...

Can you post the BSOD message or its screenshot here? It would be helpful if you can at least give more details for the BSOD error so we can identify your problem and help you out further...

You may need to press F8 during bootup and select disable automatic restart on failure.

I'm sure Linux will boot just fine... The problem lies within Windows itself... or most probably the problem lies within your HDD.

Use HirenBoot or MHDD to diagnose your HDD... Your desktop may have built-in HDD diagnostics in BIOS so you can use it instead...

Woah... Amazing that you can win in just 1 hour! Congratz Team B! Our first win!

FB once a good social networking for me... later then to now, not anymore when my friends request was ban for almost a month and most games tends to DC on me... Now I just surf FB for not-so-many new wall post but didn't took more than 1 hour for it.

Twitter is pretty much the same as FB but I think is much less addicted than FB. You just follow people you think it's interesting and some follows you for a reason. there're no games in Twit, just a tiny social network site...

It's fine to stay with Facebook but definitely stay away from FB games and such. They're the main reason of many people got addicted to FB.

So it's a full DVD format. No wonder you can't edit the other chapters even when you convert its vob file to avi. If you try to play it on your computer using any DVD player (with DVD), it can play normally... If you extract it and play the .vob files alone, it won't work properly...

Actually you have to rip the DVD with a software tools like Nero in order to correctly obtaining files that can be edited later on.

You can try this. It's trial but you can use full function of it while period still last.

It's kinda rude to post this in all Capital Letters because it usually used for SHOUTING!! and/or MAD at something.

If you doesn't know how laptop works, better just send it to local store to take a look. Also when is the last time you used it anyway?

Maybe you didn't set the host to be public and the other computer as an administrator...

I have had the same problem, and the solutions here did not seem to work for me. I found these on other sites, and I believe that it has made a difference for me:

Go to start->run->
Type services.msc
Look for Windows Media Player network sharing service in the list
Right-click properties
In the startup type select disabled.

Another solution is: While Media Player is open, bring up Task Manager and end the program. This could be another cure.

This thread is old so don't reply to it anymore.
But your cure is only an alternative and mostly just work in short time only and also for average computer user.

The only way to make sure WMP didn't run in background is STOP the media you're playing in WMP and close it afterwards. It was much easier...

Just asking...
What did you do the last time you used it before this problem occur?

Did it hang on windows xp splash screen or at the logon screen or in between both of it?

thank you all for the reply. the pc is not very old. it's a 2006 model in his words.

p3 processor
512 SDRAM
40GB IDE HDD

without a doubt this is an old pc.

P3 was way back before P4, Core series and i series was launch.
Most computer now use DDR RAM instead of SD RAM
And most computer now doesn't use IDE anymore (SATA)

Just like Jingda said, I recommend your friends to purchase a new computer. You can get around $300 for an average new computer instead of $50 for an old computer in an used computer store

If your friends would buy an old motherboard with IDE port, then just buy older one. Most new motherboard doesn't support IDE anymore which make your friends HDD need a new one too...

If still need to use some files on old HDD, just copy over to new one or clone it using Ghost program.

Can you play all 4 chapters in your Videocam? Also if you have recorded it on DVD but haven't finalize it yet, did you try it on tv dvd player instead?

And also, how many files it created?

I tried installing a Driver for HP LaserJet P2035n and am having problemn doing it. My system is using window7 and the drive is having conflit with the window. What do I do

Most probably you got the wrong driver for your printers. Conflict means the driver you're trying to install is unsupported on Windows seven (maybe you used the driver from cd or downloaded for XP version)

Download from here instead

It was for Windows Vista but supported in Windows Seven as well...
