About my computer….again!?!?

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 00:40:46 +0000

Okay so I have been having some issues with my computer. I was getting many data kernel error pages or blue screens. Well now I just purchased PC Doc Pro (McAfee secure). Will this fix my computer issues? When I run the scan I still get repeated problems for "empty Keys"? I am not computer savvy, so I do not know what this means and I am hoping someone can tell me (either what my options are or if this will help)…….THANKS!

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info

I have original VHP.I had once hide my recovery drive by ccleaner now it not start can i found back my data :(?

after start the kernel loads but don`t logon it was done when i turned off my user acount and after restart many explorer stop working windows open and again restart but till then can`t logon F8 options are 1repair 2insert dvd repair option returns error now PLZ tell me how can i get back my data remain my vista home premium original ? waiting…..
F10 dosen`t work after startup graphics a blue screen apears and again restarting .is installing vista basic or xp(available) over this os can help with my intentions?
i have no installation disk nor made it using recovery creation :<

Try the system recovery which is F10 when the computer first turns on. It will be on the HP screen. If your recovery partition is there it will boot to it and reload windows.

2nd: Call who made the PC (HP or Dell) and ask them for restoration discs. It’ll cost around $30. As long as you can get into BIOS and change the boot order it will restore your software (windows OS, D partition, and drivers) for that PC.

McAfee Scan – Artemis! Issue !?

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:51:13 +0000

I am doing a McAfee scan right now. I find there is three items detected. They are quarantied at the moment. There is three options, Remove, Restore (fix infected file) or Send to McAfee to examine. It is called:

1)
Detection name: Artemis!98808CB47DF4

File: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\TouchSmart\Media\Kernel\DMP\CLAudSpa.ax

Process: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe

Process description: Windows installer

2)
Detection name: Artemis!7D771BACDDD8

File: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\TouchSmart\Media\Kernel\DMP\clauts.ax

Process: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe

Process description: Windows installer

What should I do, should I: Remove, Restore (Repairs ?) or McAfee Examine the files.

Is Artemis! normally fake by any chance ?
Some people say it’s nothing ?

Please can you help me ?
Today, I have sent the Artemis! items to McAfee and I put a comment on the forum. What does a legitimate mean ?
I’m only a teenager. Yep I will probably restore the files. Can I restore a ‘DATA1.CAB (C:\SWSETUP\SP43648\DATA1.CAB) ?
Should I RESTORE all the files ? I will do a full scan again. I think that Artemis! are fakes. Why?
I restored them but they multiply like mad, I might as well remove them instead. I just restored them and it multiplied it. So what should I do ?
basically, I restored it. I did a scan, and the artemis multiplyed, so I think I will have to remove it.

Had Windows Vista – tried to install Linux Open Suse 11 – NOW HAVE MAJOR PROBLEM!!!

admin — Sun, 16 May 2010 05:56:10 +0000

Hi. Running Windows Vista Home premium. Dowloaded Linux OpenSuse11 ISO. Mounted it with Daemon tools. Installed it. Rebooted PC, and now it always loads up this Linux installation kernel thing. How do i get back into Vista? Not sure if it wiped the partition?! If it did im screwed becuase I dont have the Vista disk. I dont actually have the linux CD so cant continue with the installation from the Linux kernel either. Im stuck!!!! Can anyone help me get my Vista back????????? Thanks

(I had Ubuntu previously and when you installed it from within Windows it didnt do all this crap but gave me two boot options when I turned on the computer)
My PC is effectively unusuable so please can smeone help me soon???

The reason is due to the fact
When Grub overwrites and redirect the boot sector Vista boot sectors became lost and the boot flags become lost
And Grub is not bootable as OPENSUSE iso should be burnt to disc then installed
You should not mount a Operating System CD because after you reboot it will disappear the installer will not be able to find the missing disc because Vista and daemon tools is not loaded after you rebooted
You should’t try to save up a DVD-R this way
So you need to restore vista boot partition boot in a vista it borrow it from someone else and repair the boot sector
By the way if you bought the PC by every rights by Microsoft policy you have the entitlement to a Vista recovery disc call your vendor for a copy if you are unable to borrow one
You do not have to get a exactly HOME PREMIUM just get any Vista will do

vmware tool?

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:55:04 +0000

I was not able to install VMware Tools in my Linux guest. The version of Linux I am running is not on the list of supported guest operating systems or is a newer kernel(ubuntu linux cd free from linux format magazine). I saw error messages indicating the VMware Tools installer could not build necessary modules. What options do I have?

use virtual box its free

blue screen of death?

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 05:41:06 +0000

I’ve got a dell inspiron E1505. Recently I’ve got a lot of blue screens and the computer is taking a long time to load. I’ve gotten several

"irql not less or more" errors that suggest I disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. I also got one about Kernel or something.

The most recent error had these number:

0X000000F4 (0X00000003, 0X8649A818, 0X8649A98C, 0X805D13B6)

I think some important windows files somehow got deleted, but I dont the original windows disc does not come with dells….. Any ideas?

EXACT same thing happened to me last week; had to get a reconditioned hard drive as I work from home on my PC and had to go into the office while I was without.
I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 and plan to get a new laptop in the next few months and probably another Dell, I like their support.
In your case, you might be able to bring it back to life by calling Dell and getting an XP disk and have them talk you through it…you can sometimes do system restore and go back to a date before you crashed.
Otherwise, get a recon hard drive; mine was more because it took so long and I needed it express but you can get them for under a hundred bucks. Make sure you get ALL the disks necessary to reformat!

Solaris 10 and Ubuntu – dual boot! Help!!!!?

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:41:05 +0000

Hi all.. i have a HP computer( 160GB SATA, 1 GB RAM ) on which i intially installed solaris 10 and then Ubuntu 9.10 as dual boot. The moment i installed the Ubuntu i was not able to access solaris at all.. the problem being the solaris 10 is not been listed in the ubuntu grub menu.. i tried going to all possible websites.. but still in vain. Most of the sites advise to update the menu.lst file in the ubuntu.. however i have no idea how and what has to be updated in the menu.lst file. This is how things are installed in my system

/dev/sda1 – xfs file system – / ( mount point ) size 76.30 Gigs
/dev/sda2 – unknown file system ( this is where solaris is installed ) – no mount point – size 72.75 gigs.

This is what i found in one of the sites.. but this does not work.. when i update it and check the grub menu it does not show up on the grub.

i would like to have both ubuntu 9.10 and solaris 10 on my system in dual boot … pls help! Any help with regards to this is Much appreciated. If possible pls reply your answer with the menu.lst file mentioned above so that i can try it on my system. A million thanks for your response!!!!
guys.. also i forgot to mention i would like to boot frm my partition and not from a Virtual drive.

The best way to use a multi boot system is to use a virtual managements system like Virtual box then you can use any and all operating system at the same time just like jumping from one window to another window

my mac is on kernel panic mode!! help!!!?

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:32:31 +0000

i accidentally dropped my laptop. and now there’s a screen on the window that says in four languages that i need to restart my computer. i’ve tried all the button holding stuff like shift, command+option+p+r, and many others. does that mean that i have to just take to an apple store? i heard that costs money. do you know how much it would cost? and if you can help, that would be great, because i’d like to avoid paying money to fix my laptop if i can. thanks

same thing happened to me. turned out my hard drive crashed. luckily for me, i was under warranty. what u want to do first before taking it to a genius bar is to go on to apple.com and find your store and make a reservation. it took me like a week to get my macbook back.
