Solve : Can not access any form of the internet with Windows Vista.? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>My internet has been working fine. Then all of the sudden last night i was disconnected from a game I play and unable to get back on. I then noticed I could not get on the internet either. Everytime I open explorer it tried to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/go-468886" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GO">GO</a> to some searchicq webpage. I spent a total of 3 hrs and 35 mins on the phone last night with my internet service provider and HP. They couldn't figure it out. My status report shows My puter is connected to the network, but the network won't connect to the internet. I am not very computer savvy, so bear with me if I question your responses. I've tried everything anyone I talked to could come up with except a complete recovery. One of my friends told me today it could be a virus. I don't know anything about viruses. I am strictly a gamer who plays a lot of Ultima Online, so I'm not sure where I would have got a virus.

Solve : Secondary Video Card & Vista? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello everyone.<br/><br/>Having a bit of a problem with a slightly older video card and Vista. Before I begin, what I'm trying to accomplish is the installation of a secondary video card to run my extra monitors. I recently made the switch from XP to Vista, and prior to the switch I ran 2 video cards to use 3 monitors. My main card is an ATI RADEON HD 2600 Pro, and it is installed and works just fine. However, my other card is a ATI RADEON 9250, slightly older and a PCI. Searching around I see conflicting info about it's compatibility with Vista. My only question is, is there anyway to get the 9250 to work using Vista? And I don't need it to work as my primary video card, the HD2600 works just fine for that. Windows shows it disabled in the device manager and says the driver is the problem, yet also says the driver is up to date and I can't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seem-7258342" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEEM">SEEM</a> to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/find-11616" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIND">FIND</a> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/one-241053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ONE">ONE</a> for the 9250 that works. If the 9250 won't work with Vista, is there any other way I can get my 3rd monitor to work? My issue there is aside from my main video card, all my other expansion slots are regular PCI, and I can't seem to find PCI cards that work with Vista. Or maybe there is some other way to get this third monitor hooked up, I just know I really miss it from running XP with 3. It's sitting here turned off and it makes me sad =(<br/><br/>Thanks for your time, take care.<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/well-734398" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELL">WELL</a>, it looks like the solution is obvious. You need to get a PCI card with a graphics chip for which drivers for Windows Vista are available. Unfortunately, your PCI card is not one of them; <a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html">http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html</a> shows no driver for the Radeon 9250 for Vista. However, here are two PCI cards with newer ATI graphics chips for which a Vista driver is available: <br/><br/><a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103031">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103031</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129062">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129062</a><br/><br/>Either one will cost you about $100.<br/><br/>Doesn't this kinda make you wish you had stayed with Windows XP? Was the switch worth it? Thanks for the reply! Took me a bit to get back on here. The reason I switched from XP to Vista became a rather large headache that lead to a number of different <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/purchases-768334" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PURCHASES">PURCHASES</a>. The only reason I wanted Vista was to run DirectX 10 (after getting a new DX10 video card), and I still haven't gotten that 100%. So I guess I would say no; it wasn't really worth it. I wouldn't say I regret it so much, maybe the dollars spent, but Vista seems okay for the most part. But the whole reason for switching seems kind of moot and I could have just saved myself a video card purchase (and now a second card maybe) as well as the price for Vista. C'est la vie.<br/><br/>Anyway, thanks for the help! I couldn't find any Vista compatible PCI cards, I appreciate you locating them for me. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. I really do miss the third display and this inactive monitor is collecting a lot of post-it notes and it saddens me. Bit of an expensive message board. I suppose I could just reload up XP since I'm not all too thrilled with my DirectX 10 experience and just stick with DX9 for now. But then that would mean even more wasted money!<br/><br/>Take care.</p></body></html> | |

It came with Vista Home Premium pre-loaded. <br/><br/>My problem is, I can't for the life of me get AutoComplete to work. I've tried going through the Control Panel>Internet Options>Content & have ticked all the boxes, but it still won't prompt me when filling in forms etc. <br/><br/>I tried adjusting everything via Tools on my browser, too. Still nothing.

A few times an hour, I'll get what I can only describe as a blink. The screen goes blank for a second - it's almost like when you blink slowly.

Solve : Creating more RAM for your computer in Windows XP? |

When i heard this i thought it was amazing. How i'm thinking about it is like a RAM stick you install in your motherboard, perhaps that's not actually what it is.<br/><br/>I'm really just looking for some information on the whole thing, and i'm especially wonding if this would be possible on Windows XP.<br/><br/>P.S. For any of the regulars that respond to my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/posts-25660" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POSTS">POSTS</a>, i'm sorry i haven't been posting when the problems been solved, and i'm sorry i havn't been giving my thanks. So... Ty!What you have heard of is setting up a RAM drive...it basically uses HDD space as temporary storage and doesn't speed things up neccesarily.<br/>Back when MBoard limitations on RAM were smaller and OS swapfile limits were still low this was a viable alternative.<br/>Today however with the price of RAM and the MBoard capacities increased it may be counter-productive.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+a+ram+drive&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official">Have a Read</a>Actually what Anythingwill is referring to is the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ability-25661" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ABILITY">ABILITY</a> to use USB flash drives as a form of RAM in Vista. The flash RAM that supports this is supposed to be faster to access then hard drives but still slower than real system RAM. The technique is called <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/performance.mspx">Windows ReadyBoost</a>. As far as I can see though it is just a fancy word for a page file on a USB flash drive.<br/>You can do this in XP too altough not as elegantly as in Vista. But since it isn't as fast as real RAM and RAM being dirt cheap at the moment this is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/rather-2973755" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RATHER">RATHER</a> pointless.<br/><br/>A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_disk">RAM drive</a> is something else entirely though. Here you use RAM to create a temporary partition that is many times faster to access than a partition on a hard drive.Gotcha.<br/>I read an article and breakdown on the ReadyBoost feature in Vista when i was still breaking RC2...didn't seem worth pursuing at the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/time-19467" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TIME">TIME</a> and i'm sure the same still holds true for now.<br/><br/>A Pentium 66 was the last time i screwed around with setting up a Ram drive...

Works like a peach. 1 hour into working it, i wonder what i get? BLUE SCREEN OF *censored* DEATH.<br/><br/>Possible reasons? I used my iPod that i used for my old 1 to transfer files, possible reason? Surely not? If it is i will happily BIN the ipod, i seriously will. Someone please please help, its my birthday and im actually close to tears with this *censored*. I just want a working laptop tbh<br/><br/>the error message <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/contained-931557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONTAINED">CONTAINED</a>..<br/><br/>DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL<br/><br/>P.S - this message came on whilst the ipod was connected to it, iv took it out and it hasnt came up since, but im still worried. Someone please, please, please HELPPPP.<br/><br/>xUpon some research, I found out that the Driver_IRQL_not_less_Or_Equal error means that the system tried to access a portion of memory using a kernel process IRQL (Interrupt Request Level - basically a table used by the kernel to manage interrupt sources) that was too high. Often this is caused by a bad device driver that is using an improper address. Other possibilities are faulty or mistmatched ram or a corrupted pagefile. <br/><br/>The easiest thing to do first is to turn off your pagefile, reboot and reset it to your old values. <br/><br/>We need two things from you: <br/><br/>Check the event viewer to see what error <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/messages-25598" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MESSAGES">MESSAGES</a> are there around the time you got the BSOD. <br/><br/>The exact error message for your BSOD which will tells what driver is involved in the problem, if this is infact the problem.<br/><br/>If the above doesn't work will have to test RAM and/or find the faulting driver...I simply cannot accept that there is something 'wrong' with the Laptop. It is hardly 2 hours old ffs, i really cannot believe my luck. The screen hasnt come up since, as i have only connected my iPod to it for a maximum of about 10secs. I have done some research and some things do suggest that bad USB's can occur.<br/><br/>You say reset to my 'old' values? what is old about this laptop?! lol. I have had it for 2 minutes! <br/><br/>Also, whats my pagefile?<br/><br/>thanks very much for the reply though, help much appreciated - keep it coming Basically, the pagefile is a reserved portion of the hard disk that is used as an extension of the RAM.<br/><br/>Your right, since it's a new laptop and the old computer was having the same problem, I would suspect it to be the driver for the iPod as it hasn't given you the problem when it hasn't been connected. <br/><br/>You could try another USB cable for the iPod... do you know anyone that has one you could borrow to test out?<br/><br/>First of all though, have you updated the iPod's firmware etc tp the latest? Do you use iTunes or any other software when connecting the iPod?Well in its properties i checked it for errors, in went on for around half hour, then finished - whether it has fixed anything im not to know. I have now used the iPod to put some music on, and the BSOD never happened, and it hasnt happened since i first had it. Would you say its not gone? However, i dont really trust it tbh. My girlfriend has a USB that i could have off her so yeah, i will try that one out.<br/><br/>Thank you very much for your help, its much appreciated.What anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware, etc. programs are you running on each system?<br/><br/>Not yet worried that you have a virus, or whether or not you have sufficient protection. I have seen on a very rare occasion that certain combinations of programs and certain USB devices cause errors like you're experiencing.<br/><br/>Also, here's an example of the specific information we'll need from that error screen:<br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>> *** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000014,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xB1A69E9D)<br/>> DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL<br/>><br/>> *** Address B1A69E9D, DateStamp 42832efa - tcpip.sysI have Zone Alarm, AVG and Spybot. On my other system the BSOD started long before i had these though. I would love to help with giving out what else is on the screen i got, i got it twice at around 10-11 this morning. Since then not 1 and i have had it on all day long.</p></body></html> | |

Its compatability is getting better all the time, but there are still quite a few 32-bit programs that can not run in a 64-bit <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/environment-15858" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ENVIRONMENT">ENVIRONMENT</a>. Find out if any of your "must-have" applications are like this.<br/><br/>In 32-bit windows, if a driver's not signed, a dialogue pops up prompting you to confirm if you really want to do this. In 64-bit, it simply doesn't allow you to install it, to keep the stability of the system up. Again, make sure ALL your devices have drivers signed for Vista 64.<br/><br/>The major reason people seem to want to jump onto the 64-bit bandwagon currently is to get around the 4gb RAM cap in 32 bit systems, but in that list I only see 2 gigs, so you wouldn't be using it for that purpose yet.<br/><br/><br/>Now I'm not trying to discourage you from installing Vista 64, it's a solid system, but, you just need to be aware of those few things that could really mean a headache.well, I'm actually getting 2x 2x 1 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gig-2671396" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIG">GIG</a> sticks of ram... ie total of 4 gigs of ram.I would just second what anondoin said. My major complaint with 64-bit OS (I've tried both XP-64 and Vista-64) is some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/headaches-1016480" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HEADACHES">HEADACHES</a> with driver/program support. <br/><br/>I have had many programs refuse to install and pop up a warning box saying installing was canceled because 64-bit OS's arnt supported. <br/><br/>My HP printer driver as well would not install due to the same issue.</p></body></html> | |

Solve : Vista won't boot? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I'm not sure if this should be posted here or under hardware.

At first it gave me an error that the file ntdll.dll was corrupt. I tried using the HP Recovery Manager, but was unsuccessful. I then ordered the recovery disc from HP.

It reformatted the hard drive, created a partition for a recovery image and then installed the image on the drive. It said to restart the computer and then press F11 to complete the process. This is where I run into problems. Pressing F11 doesn't do anything except beep. As it attempts to boot it gives me the error 0xc00000e9 stating that there is a problem <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/communicating-924557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMMUNICATING">COMMUNICATING</a> with a device.

I have tried everything I know, but as I am a programmer and don't deal with hardware that much, I don't know what to do next. Any help would be great.Sounds like the harddrive has failed. Before running out and purchasing a new one, however, try this first:<br/><br/>Unplug anything connected to the computer. This includes any mice, printers, game controllers, PCMCIA cards, anything "extra," to see if something's causing problems.Yeah...error "0xc00000e9" indicates some problem with loading a driver, so "Anodoin" suggestion may help.I disconnected everything from the computer and that did nothing to help.

Solve : Will it happen again??? I hope not!!!? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>This is the first time my computer has not successfully unhibernated. When I try to start it now, the screen does not turn on anything, or is black (cannot tell). The laptop makes no sound, except after a few minutes, the fan gets louder, as if the CPU is being completely used. I tried unplugging it and removing the battery a few times, but it will still not restart. I tried pressing F2, Esc, CTrl+Alt+Del, SysRq, and Del but nothing happens, but I think the BIOS should respond to one of these after I unplug the computer and restart it.<br/>It won't start, and I'm not sure if the BIOS or Vista is the problem, please help. <br/>This is a 6-month old HP laptop. Quote</p><blockquote>This is a 6-month old HP laptop.</blockquote>Send it back to avoid even more problems in the future.It was working fine when I hibernated it, so I don't think this is a hardware issue. If I do have to send it in, will I get all my data back? How long will this take? What I'm trying to say is, that unless you made some serious changes to your laptop configuration (hardware/software), and your laptop doesn't work after 6 months of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/use-241643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USE">USE</a>, I'd return it right away.I know what you mean; if this happens again in another 6 months, right when my warranty expires, it will be bad. <br/><br/>But I thought this was maybe a software bug that would be easy to fix even if it does happen again.<br/><br/>I contacted HP through live chat, and they said I can send the laptop in free to get it fixed (because of warranty). They think it is a hardware issue; I guess they'll find out. I actually think I can survive without that laptop for a week. I think, this is the best option.On about the tenth try, the laptop started up just fine. <br/><br/>I did something like turn laptop on, wait, unplug (AC + battery), repeat, wait, ask HP, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/power-2475" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POWER">POWER</a> drain, re-seat memory, power on, wait, not starting still, unplug, power on, unplug, repeat, give up, come back an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hour-243320" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOUR">HOUR</a> later, power on, Vista un-hibernates.<br/><br/>As you can see from this list of events, unplugging the laptop did not affect Vista at all! If Vista had been running when I unplugged it, it would have crashed and restarted, not un-hibernated. So Vista was not loading when the laptop was not working, so maybe the BIOS was not working right.<br/><br/>Has this happened to anyone before? Is this a one-time bug, or could this be a big problem in the future? If it doesn't happen again soon, can I assume it is working well?

My post was to ask for a direct link to Directx 10.

Solve : Vista Home unresponsive taskbar!! HELP? |

In safe mode it works. The start button will work for the first minute or so but it won't execute anything.

Safe mode works fine.Quote<blockquote>Did it just start happening? Any recent hardware/software changes?</blockquote>I may have more suggestions, but I need to know the above answers.It started happening a few days after I got the laptop. I haven't made any hardware changes. The only software change I made was installing Etrust security suite and I think that should be it. Good thinking. Disable it from startup, or eventually uninstall.Thanks for your help Broni, but I need it. It is my firewall/antivirus/ and so on. It actually works pretty <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/well-734398" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELL">WELL</a>, thats why I use it instead of Mcafee.No, you don't.<br/>Surely, you need firewall, and antivirus, but there are free programs, you can use, and which I use. There is no reason to pay for them.<br/>I assume, you already paid for Etrust, so in that event, just disable it for one computer start, and see, if your problem persist.<br/>From your picture, it's definitely software problem.Ok thanks broni I'll disable and see what happens.Cool, let me know.</body></html> | |
