151.	Solve : Windows 7 Hangs?
Answer» <html><body><p>Installing windows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/7-240263" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 7">7</a> RC (7100) 32-Bit on a blank HDD Toshiba Satellite M40 (Intel Centrino, NVIDIA Graphics) laptop is not going well.<br/><br/>First part of the install runs fine, then it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/restarts-2990839" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESTARTS">RESTARTS</a>, then it says "completing installation", which is fine, then it restarts again, then it hangs at "Starting Windows". Booting in safe mode it stops at "CLASSPNP.SYS"<br/><br/>Any ideas? I did some googling and it says Classpnp is something to do with video drivers? I don't really understand what i've found.<br/><br/>Thanks for any suggestions.It is possible that during the automatic harwdare detection, it mis-detected the GPU ( Video CPU ) of your system and the driver it is trying to run is not compatible.<br/><br/>For <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/desktop-949558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESKTOP">DESKTOP</a> systems this can be fixed by placing a video card in place of the integrated GPU, but on a laptop there is no alternative usually. Only other suggestion i can think of is that at the initial install where it gives you the short prompt to press I think its F6 to install drivers, you might be able to use that for installing video support, however I have only used that for installing RAID drivers for adaptec cards and never used that as a way to change any other drivers.Hooray!<br/>I found a fix for this on Sevenforums.<br/><br/>Use setup disk/repair computer/go through all the rubbish as it says that it doesn't know what to do/advanced options/command prompt/navigate to windows\|system32\|Drivers/ type "Ren pcmcia.sys pcmcia.bak"<br/><br/> Bones92<br/><br/>You, Sir are my personal hero. When installing Windows 7 Pro on an old Toshiba Satellite M40-129 (PSM40E), it alsways hung at classpnp.sys.<br/><br/>When finally renaming the PCMCIA.sys so it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/could-410026" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COULD">COULD</a> not be loaded any more, the laptop finally started Windows 7 Pro for the first time ever.<br/>Thank you very much. I hope this will be found by the search <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/engines-25860" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ENGINES">ENGINES</a> so people can use our advise and solve their problems the same way. Quote from: Bones92 on June 23, 2009, 11:00:56 PM</p><blockquote>type "Ren pcmcia.sys pcmcia.bak"<br/></blockquote> <br/>WOW! Finally, the ONLY permanent solution to this annoying classpnp.sys problem that has plagued Microsoft Windows since Windows Vista! Thank you so very much.Remember that renaming classpnp will prevent access to SCSI-based devices on that machine in the future, and the issues preventing it from working properly are more than likely not something that will just "go away" by renaming a file.Hi from Greece,<br/><br/>I found the solution MOST helpfull, after spending an entire workday searching for what could be wrong. It worked like a charm, BUT the problem returned as soon as I installed updates! I had to rerun the cure and then use AutoRuns from Sysinternals Suite to disable the specific driver. So far, after two more update sets, all work well! <br/>Thank you all for your help!</body></html>

152.	Solve : Win XP Home poor display?
Answer» <html><body><p>To check the display, I have win xp home (with poor display) and installed win xp pro (good display)<br/>This was to check the hardware. To check the display drivers in system 32 (wiavideo.dll) and system (vga device driver)<br/>I copied the drivers from win xp pro (good display) and replaced the drivers in win xp home (bad display) with them. No change.<br/>- - -<br/>I don't know what to check or how to do it. I proved that the hardware is good by checking on both win xp home and win xp pro.<br/>Win xp home seems to have a common display problem because I searched it in Google (mv4_disp) but I am unable to find a fix.<br/>- - <br/>Any help would be appreciated.<br/>Thank You<br/>falconInstall the Drivers for the Graphics Adapter. It sounds like an Nvidia Adapter.Is the "vga device driver" in the "system folder" the Nvidia Adapter driver ??<br/>I am not that knowledgeable about drivers in the "system" folder or the "system 32" folder.<br/>- -<br/>thank You<br/>falcon There should not be any difference in the way two versions of XP handles the display. Some more information is needed.<br/>What do you call a 'poor display'? Fuzzy? Poor color? <br/>What make of computer do you have?<br/>Do you have original install <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cd-236847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CD">CD</a> of both XP home and XP pro?<br/>Are both SP-3? Have you done updates on both?<br/>Have you compared Safe Mode display for both versions?<br/>It ought to bee the same.<br/><br/><br/><br/> Quote from: navyfalcon on April 26, 2014, 09:24:01 PM</p><blockquote>Is the "vga device driver" in the "system folder" the Nvidia Adapter driver ??<br/></blockquote> No. I don't even know what you are referring to. you don't Install drivers by randomly copying files to system folders. <br/><br/>What is your graphics adapter? Is this a laptop? Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 26, 2014, 09:58:39 PM<blockquote>What do you call a 'poor display'? Fuzzy? Poor color? <br/></blockquote> I'm almost positive that the effect they are seeing is that the XP Home machine does not have proper drivers installed.<br/><br/>Though it could be as simple as changing the resolution, now that I think of it.<br/>Item 1. The OS (both) are on a Dell Dimension 2350.<br/>Item 2. The OS for both was installed with the original MS disk<br/>Item 3. The Video controller is Nvidia GeForce 4000<br/>Item 4. Both OS have the drivers wiavideo.dll (sys32) and vga device driver (sys folder)<br/>- - <br/>I agree with you. I think it is a driver, but which one ??<br/>- - -<br/>thank you for your time and help<br/>any addition help will be appreciated<br/>falcon Quote from: navyfalcon on April 26, 2014, 11:11:35 PM<blockquote>Item 3.

Both OS have the drivers wiavideo.dll (sys32) and vga device driver (sys folder)</blockquote> <br/>wiavideo is not a video Driver. it is used for acquiring video data from a digital camcorder (Windows Image Acquisition for Video).<br/>vga.drv is the default driver that Windows will use if no other driver is installed. <br/>I downloaded drivers from this site<br/><a href="https://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_182.65">http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_182.65</a><br/>I hope it is the correct site and drivers<br/>- - -<br/>falconI copied and pasted the driver into the system folder (not system32)<br/>No joy.

Is there a procedure to set up the driver for the display or did I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/get-11812" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GET">GET</a> the wrong driver ??<br/>- - -<br/>Thank you again for the help<br/>falconThe driver you installed is not the correct driver. The driver you downloaded is for Quadro Cards, which are high-end Workstation Display Cards.<br/><br/>You want the one that I linked (NVidia Forceware).<br/><br/>You don't copy files into system32. You run the downloaded program. it is an Installer.The drivers should actually come from Dell.<br/>Dell's are finicky like that. Quote from: patio on April 27, 2014, 09:25:27 PM<blockquote>The drivers should actually come from Dell.<br/>Dell's are finicky like that.<br/></blockquote> <br/>The Nvidia is added-on after purchase and was not stock with the machine. The Dell support page doesn't list any NVidia drivers for that model.<br/><br/>That said, it actually <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/brings-2488276" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BRINGS">BRINGS</a> up a good question, which is whether the Geforce 4000 is in both machines, and if not, which machine it is in. <br/><br/>Though I'm also curious how they managed to get from the link I provided for Forceware 90 to a download for NVidia Quadro drivers. That must have been some adventure. Easy trip: To do the automatic search requires java and I have difficulty downloading a <br/>java version for win xp home. So I went to Nvidia site and tried for a match. This is an old<br/>video card and the system is old. I think my best bet is to somehow get the drivers from<br/>win xp pro and put them in win xp home.<br/>- - -<br/>How can I perform this operation so the drivers will install<br/>- - -<br/>again, thank you for your patience and help<br/>- - -<br/>falcon</body></html>

155.	Solve : Deleting difficult files?
Answer» <html><body><p>Hi,<br/><br/>I have been doing some troubleshooting on an XP computer for a friend. I ran Norton AV but it was unable to fix a problem 1 problem with a file named ~511247.tmp. I ran Task Manager to try and find anything that looked like it would be using it. I ran msconfig and deselected all. I started in Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

It is usually the result of a recently deleted program that has left remnants in the registry. When these remnants load Windows thinks the file is in use and so you get "access denied". Editing the registry and removing any keys that reference the program will allow them to be deleted. You might also have to remove a read only attribute (if you haven't tried that already, do that first).I have tried changing the attributes in Windows and DOS. No luck.

157.	Solve : Move Windows DLL's to flash drive?
Answer» <html><body><p>Since I found out that Windows tries several paths to load DLL's when any application is loaded (tool used: process explorer from <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com">www.sysinternals.com</a>), I'm going to move most of the system DLL's to a pcmcia flash drive. The system should boot <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/faster-985028" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FASTER">FASTER</a> and also run faster.<br/><br/>After having started first experiments, I'm not successful until now. There seems to be no possibility to explicitly specify a "first seek" path, in this case e:\windows\system.<br/>When windows does perform automatic path seeking, it seeks (e.g) first in the application directory, then the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/desktop-949558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESKTOP">DESKTOP</a> directory and then the system directory.<br/><br/>Anybody having an idea? Probably I should use a sort of technique of mapping a directory from the flash drive into a corresponding <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/c-3540" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about C">C</a>:\drive directory (when such is possible), or even specify the flash drive as a sort of cache extension.<br/>(Note: target is Windows 98 )you may also have to take in account as well the ram and cpu...to make it run faster and load faster.<br/>And what <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/processes-21463" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESSES">PROCESSES</a> are being loaded?<br/>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>faster booting and performance<br/>...i should have imagined that m$oft thought of this when it produced windows?RAM, CPU? To my opinion these factors are not crucial in <em>today's</em> computer performance. Most standard apps and business apps run smoothly when the CPU is quite "old" (in this case 266 MHz/96 MB RAM). Only games and image apps need more capacity today.<br/><br/>But startup times of apps is quite slow. Here state of the art computers have an advantage. But alas, not so dramatically, since the hard disk must move increasingly frequently forth and back from <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sector-239464" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SECTOR">SECTOR</a> to sector. This permanent moving is gone worse as programs got bigger. Program startups require a mix of resources, e.g. own dll's and windows dll's from the system directory. Having only the most frequent windows resources copied to flash would help <strong>substantially</strong>.<br/>Of course, a big disk cache (i.e. RAM) would help, however not as good as a permanent fast access resource.<br/></p></body></html>

It will 'wait' for a specified amount of time before allowing the host program to resume...Yes, in fact my previous answer to PAUSE option doesn't hold really. I thought that PAUSE was for a certain given time, but it's just a function to wait until you press a key. This will never do, 'cause it has to be automatic, if I have to wait and to press a key, I could do every run by hand :-(<br/><br/>I'm going to see these freeware DOS tools</p></body></html>

First of all, the document, most likely using your documents folder for just one t user. That narrows it down. Try this:look at the my documents folder. you will see the search option. Ask it to look for all documents, sometime in the last year. The size is probably less than the megabyte. That then just the phrase you want. Just a single phrase. The built-in search features not very sophisticated. Expected to take quite a while to look through all your documents that were created in the past year of the size less than 1 MB and have that phrase found inside. It will do it, but it just takes a while.<br/>Now than, this is the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/kind-25540" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KIND">KIND</a> of thing you don't to very often, so there's no point in investing in some expensive software to resolve just one issue.

As in immediatly install the latest security updates, virus scanner, firewall and whatever else may help you secure your privacy and computer. (Refer to the Viruses & Spyware section) <br/><br/>If you decide not to do so, but still format, you can start over again in a few months. Or weeks. <br/><br/>You can also try to fix your system, but if you have no files you want saved and donot mind reinstalling Windows, formatting is usually a very good option.I had the same problem. I went to system restore and disabled it. I shutdown my computer. When I restarted it, I went back and it was gone. I have found a lot of trojans, worms, etc. attach to system restore. By disabling system restore, then shutting down, all restore is gone. Just be sure to enable your system restore when it re-boots. If all systems seem to be corrected then enable your system restore and set a restore point. I have ridded systems this way. <br/><br/>This is one reason I use McAfee online virus protection. It is just 2.95 per month and an update comes in about every other day. I dont' have to go look for updates or patches. <br/><br/>What I have suggested you do is not a major technical computer deal, so it won't hurt to try.<br/><br/>ThissleI understand Microsoft will not automatically down load SP 2 now until sometime in April 05.

I found this the most interesting..<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>We strongly suspect that it was another rogue feature added by a specific developer who had a history of slipping in rogue features.</blockquote> <br/>With how many people work on the code, you would think that there would be not just a single developer who slipped in a feature, but that the feature would be a small group that worked on code. With all the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/overlap-1144089" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OVERLAP">OVERLAP</a> you would think that slipping anything in unnoticed etc would be next to impossible, so I would think that it would be not exactly slipped in with so many people working on an OS at Microsoft unless they have loose content control.<br/><br/>Also a list of all the rogue features that this "developer" slipped in would be interesting. Quote from: DaveLembke on May 13, 2014, 08:16:15 PM<blockquote>With how many people work on the code, you would think that there would be not just a single developer who slipped in a feature, but that the feature would be a small group that worked on code. <br/></blockquote> Not really. Most big source codebases are managed at multiple levels. Eg, there will be one group working on some high-level new feature, another working on another, etc. But they don't commit to the same source code repository, rather they commit to branches.<br/><br/>So, say there is group A and Group B working on adding their own new addition with Windows 7. <br/><br/>When Group A starts, they basically take a copy of the current Master Branch of the Source code- in whatever state it happens to be in- and then make their changes. Group B does the same when they start. Changes made by Group A will not be visible in the source control repository that Group B works in, nor vice versa.<br/><br/>When the features are in an appropriate shape to be added into the main trunk build, they merge their branch; eg. when Group A's feature is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ready-620053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about READY">READY</a> to be integrated they Merge their Branched repository with the new feature into the main one. This usually involves resolving conflicts where other changes have changes files that the branch has that cannot be resolved automatically.<br/><br/>It would be trivial to slip in a rogue feature when working in one of those groups, because it will only be visible code-wise to those working in that smaller group. It's also not like Programmers make a habit of randomy perusing commit logs unless it happens to be relevant to what they are doing.<br/><br/></body></html>

I can start Windows in Safe Mode and all seems OK.<br/>2. What I have tried before the above occurred is to uninstall Comodo Free Firewall but there is no uninstall button in Control Panel > ADD/Remove Programs! Comodo Firewall is now corrupted and cannot reinstall as it says it is already installed<br/>3. I have run Malwarebytes which only found 3 PUP which were quarantined.<br/>4. I have run Vipre Rescue, which found and cleaned one Trojan “Win32.Generic!BT”, remnants of Babylon and Conduit tool bar remnants.<br/>Any ideas on how to uninstall Comodo Free Firewall?<br/>I’m puzzled why when Windows XP runs in normal mode it only displays a black screen and cursor but in Safe mode I can see the desktop? <br/>When booted to safe mode check in Device Manager...any Yellow !!'s ? ?Boot to safe mode. Open msconfig and on the General tab choose "selective startup" (uncheck all three items) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/reappears-2977929" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REAPPEARS">REAPPEARS</a> and you'll have identified the offending process. This is clearly a time consuming procedure, but it is the best way to determine if some process loading with the system is the cause of your problem.<br/><br/>After you've isolated the cause, do not use msconfig to permanently disable the process. Instead, if it is a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/service-239469" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SERVICE">SERVICE</a> go to START - RUN and type: services.msc (then press enter) and disable the service OR, if it a program, you can download & run a simple app such as Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel (<a href="http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/startup_cpl.html">http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/startup_cpl.html</a>) to enable, disable, or otherwise manage startup programs.Thanks guys for your help.<br/>Patio, there are no exclamation marks in Device Manager.<br/>Allan, I will try your suggestion once Microsoft <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/security-11642" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SECURITY">SECURITY</a> Scanner has done its work, which I am <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/running-1192206" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUNNING">RUNNING</a> in Safe Mode, and post the result of your suggestion later.<br/>Allan, I have run XP in Safe Mode "selective startup" (unchecked all items) and rebooted but the problem still occurs Well, the fact that you can boot to safe mode and not to regular mode would indicate a faulty driver or process, but if a selective startup (which disables all 3rd party drivers & processes) doesn't work the only other thing I can think of is a repair install. Perhaps someone else will have another thought, but if you want to run a repair install here are the instructions:<br/><br/><a href="http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm">http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm</a>Thanks Allan, I am now running chkdsk /f to see if that helps if not I will run a repair install. Thanks again for your input.Chkdsk did not help so next is to backup the personal data and try a repair install. For future reference, if you run checkdisk the best method is chkdsk /rThanks Allan, I think I will have to resort to do a Windows xp repair as things have now got worse, I can't even start in Safe Mode anymore. In that case it could be something more (hd, ram, malware, etc). But go ahead and try the repair.</p></body></html>

Don't think about the monitor. Windows will install a generic driver for the monitor. You must have the full set of drivers for that motherboard. Just getting some drivers from <strong>Intel</strong> is not enough. Even motherboards that are almost the same are not.<br/><br/>Example. I had a Dell 745. I go to the Dell web site and find the list of drivers for that model. I might see there is also a list for a 755 model. But that will not do. The two models are very similar, but I can not interchange the drivers. Furthermore, that earlier model requires five downloads for Windows XP. <br/><br/>You have to get drives specific to the motherboard.<br/><br/>All the necessary drivers will be at the MBoard manuf. site...</p></body></html>

199.	Solve : OEM xp question?
Answer» <html><body><p>I made an iso from my dell xp pro sp1a cd.<br/>I want to use it for a virtual machine and I dont want the dell crap.<br/>Can I just delete the oem folder and slipstream a service pack?Since an OEM license is tied by the EULA to the original hardware, you would not be able legally to do this, and I very much believe we cannot therefore advise.currently I have three Dell computers in my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/home-237767" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOME">HOME</a> office. They are all running the Dell OEM XP SP-1 and to my knowledge, all of the material on the Dell CD was needed for the installation. There is a holder labeled Dell, which contains the drivers and the setup files for hardware commonly used on Dell machines. In addition to that, it was necessary to download more updated drivers from the Dell website to get each machine working properly.<br/>So, based on my personal experience I would say there is no point in trying to remove any of the Dell software from the OEM CD provided by Dell.<br/>As you already know, support of Windows XP is over. With the exception of some security updates, Microsoft has abandoned Windows XP. This already has had an impact on both users and developers who use any other Microsoft products. For example, the Microsoft .<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/net-1887" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NET">NET</a> libraries continue to be updated and are leaving XP behind. This means that some programs that were developed with the.NET libraries and runtime packages will not update correctly on an XP machine at some time in the future.<br/>What I am trying to say is that I have to use Windows XP because of my difficulty in adapting to the numerous versions of Windows. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/otherwise-2208214" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OTHERWISE">OTHERWISE</a>, I am firmly convinced that XP is virtually dead and has no future.<br/>Just saying.was wondering is it also that oem are also dead Quote from: vpvalentine on July 22, 2014, 10:30:29 AM</p><blockquote>was wondering is it also that oem are also dead<br/></blockquote> Do not expect a company like Asus, Dell Gateway or HP to continue to help you with older versions of software. But companies like IBM and Oracle may make exceptions.<br/><br/>As for Windows XP, drives for XP can still be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/found-458144" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOUND">FOUND</a> on the web sites of the major makers. But trying to buy an OEM copy of Windows XP may be hard to do. The EULA from Microsoft extends to OEM versions also. Microsoft allows Windows XP to be sold with used hardware. This allows users to recover their investment in hardware that is not longer wanted. But the user can not have unbundled the Windows XP OEM CD from the hardware. It has to be sold with at least part of the used hardware. <br/>Here is a picture:<br/><br/><br/>Note to moderator. This is not an offer to sell anything. This is legitimate. However, the Dell CD will only work on a Dell PC that was licensed for XP. <em>It will not work on <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/another-876628" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANOTHER">ANOTHER</a> PC.</em><br/>And no, it is not one of my listings. I will never sell my old Dell OEM CDs.<br/> On that note...Topic Closed.</body></html>
