    - win XP x64 Boot Failure and unable to enter Recovery Console Today my computer booted up and was having trouble initialising NOD32 Totally inresponsive... So I resetted the computer but when he restarted he gave me this error: Windows Could Not Start Because the Following File Is Missing or Corrupt \Windows\System32\Config\System You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM This is also the case when I try to run Windows in safe mode. Now I've did some searching and saw the solution was in the Windows Recovery Console so I put in the CD and entered the RC. But after I put in my selection of witch windows folder I want to "use" I got the following Blue Screen of Death saying: ISTRY_ERROR Technical information: *** STOP: 0x00000051 (0x0000000000000001, 0xFFFFFA80003EC010, 0x00000000005F5000, 0x00000000000001D6) The same BSD appears when I try to install windows again. When the installation looks if another version of windows has been installed. My setup: Windows XP x64 bit Edition (student license) Intel RAID 0 Configuration of 2 250GB Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard Because of the RAID setup I can't install windows on a different drive. Nor can I access anything on the drive because I can't get access to the console. I have a different windows x64 install dvd but my RAID drivers aren't slipstreamed into that one so it doesn't even recognize my RAID array. Now my question is: Does anybody know a way to access the recovery console (by correcting/ circumventing the BSD?) I've got some data on my drives witch I wrather not destroy, right now I can't even destroy it unless I destroy the RAID array... Any help is very much welcome, tried everything to get into the Recovery Console... Thanks In Advance! Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48562

    - SP2 install failure Whenever I try to install the x64 pro SP2 update, I receive an "Access is denied" message, and everything has to be uninstalled. The problem I am having is described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873148 However I am having problems with the verbose logging of the setup, described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906485 Whenever I set the LogLevel entry to 0000ffff as instructed, and I have tried this on several occassions, it resets itsself during the SP2 setup and I am none the wiser as to which registry entry is causing the problem. Also the setupapi.log file doesn't increase in size at all after applying the registry change, and no further information is displayed to when LogLevels was set to 0. I'm really struggling with this one, and I've follwed the instructions fully. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks Chris B Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48553

    - AMD Agesa - what sort of critter is this? Hi, I just found a BIOS update to my MB (Asus M2N32). It lists support for Agesa and I managed to find info that indicates this is about integrating some sort of BIOS plug-in technology when developing new BIOS code - can anybody here make a guess (educated or not) if this will be usefull to me or to my machine? I intend to flash it anyway since there is enhanced memory support as well, I just don't like putting things in there that I don't know what it's there for. Tony. . .

    - major X64 boot problem i recently transplanted my rig into a new Silverstone TJ09 case.... (heh its awesome), all went well except now every 4 out of 5 boots results in a weird boot problem, when it gets to the black X64 loading screen the hard drive will spin down and spin up, but basically its stuck there and never get to windows. i found out that i actually had a system drive with bad sectors, as well as a flakey ram dim, so replaced both. did fresh format and install of X64. exact same problem. hard drive full-surface scan is fine... tried another format and install, same problem.... its sometimes fine for a few boots - then after a while it happens. usually a few boots after i install nForce4 X64 system drivers and graphics drivers. (but they have worked with this hardware before fine). i have DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert, AMD X24200+, 2x1GB Kingston DDR, XFX 7950GT w/heatpipe, 150GB raptor OS disk, 150GB sata 2nd disk, all temps cool.... i've been trying to fix this for almost a week with the help of another ng and have drawn a blank. the only thing that hass actually changed since the problem is the case... that sounds completely absurd that a case could cause that.... but maybe the mobo was damaged or something...?

    - Mouse hook slows down system Hi, Our product makes use of a system wide mouse hook (WH_MOUSE) and a message hook( WH_GETMESSAGE) that are implemented in a DLL. It works well on all 32 bit systems9 (W2K, XP) we are having some problems on XP x64 version. The moment the mouse hook is installed, the system slows down drastically. The CPU usage remains normal ( 99% consumed by System Idle process). I do not understand what is happening or why the system slows down like this? Has anybody experienced anything like this before? I have tried googling to see if anything like this has been reported before, but could not find anything. MSDN says that both for WH_MOUSE both 32 bit and 64 bit hooks might be called. Could this be causing this slowdown? We are using #pragma data_seg to share data between the DLL instances. Any information/pointers would be appreciated very much. -- Cheers, RR Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48531

    - Vista 64 and Dual tuners So I build my new pc and decided since 64 bit processing is the nest step I would try it in Vista, mistake, hopefully not. So my problem is that I can not get the hauppauge 500 mce tuner card to work with Vista even though it is Vista compatable both 32 and 64 bit. My specs are EVGA 590SLI MB, EVGA 7950 GTX video card, 4 gigs of Corsair extreme pc6400, and an AMD 5600 Dual core. I have tried the video card on a pc running XP Media Center works great, I even installed XP Media Center on the pc as mentioned above and the tuner card works great. I then wiped clean the hard drive using dban, which took 10 hours and did another clean install of vista and it still does not work. Any body have any advice or tips before I blow another hundred bucks on Windows support. One other thing if I reboot a couple of times I can get the tuner to work for a bit, but soon as it comes out of screen saver it is dead again. Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48530

    - My computer will not start properly Hi I hope you can give me some idea as to what is wrong with my computer. First of all my specs. Jetway motherboard, AMD 64bit processor, 200mb sata Maxtor drive, DVD drive and CD drive, 1 GB of ram. On board ATI Radeon Xpress 200. Using Windows XP Pro 64bit. I have been using the computer for at least 18 months with no problems have a virus program running al the time (Avast). Then a week ago the computer just shut down well viewing pictures and then went in to a constant re-boot. Tried all ways of trying to cure the problem by looking on the internet for solutions using my laptop. After days of trying decided to re-install windows. It would not let me do even though I tried 3 times but it was no good. So I then used Active Kill and completely wiped the hard drive. Put the windows cd in and it started to load. Used F6 to load the sata drivers and was able to install windows to completion. I then installed only a small amount of programs to enable me to download mail. Went to bed a happy bunny. Next morning switched th computer on and guess what it started it's same problem, would not load properly cam up with various errors to many to mention and this time another interesting thing happened the cd woul not inithialise properly it just kept on trying to go through it start process. It did boot eventuly but it was not long before the same thing happened again. Went through the whole procedure again of kill, format and re-install but only to get the same problems. I have know idea if it is the hard drive, power supply, motherboard memory or the operating system. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing me all this hassle?

    - Vista x64/GeForce 7900 GT Random Crash... I am running Windows Vista Home Premium x64, an Nvidia GeForce 7900 GT and I have an Asus A8N32-SLI motherboard. I have been having some major issues with all of these 3 (Vista/Nvidia/A8N32). When I install the Nvidia drivers for Windows Vista x64, I get random lock-ups. I will be either playing a game, listening to music or surfing the net when my computer will just freeze. This is totally random. My computer might freeze within 5 minutes of start up or might freeze within 5 hours of start up. I had days where my computer will not freeze at all and other days where it would freeze several times a day. It is totally random. I have been running all the latest nvidia drivers that have been released every month. If I use the Microsoft Nvidia Drivers (the driver that is auto installed when Vista is installed), my computer does not freeze randomly. However, when my computer does to sleep and wakes up, I get all these strange lines on my screen and I am forced to reboot. Also whenever I play a game and turn on Anti-Analzing mode, I also get strange lines on my screen. But if I do not go to sleep or turn on Anti-Analzing, my computer works fine and does not freeze at all. I am not overclocking or anything of that nature. So I dunno what to do. I donâ??t know what else to try. Any suggestions? I am tired of playing around and I am considering getting a GeForce 8800 series card but I am worried I might experience the same effect that I am going through right now.

    - X64Pro becomes unstable w open office I thought I would share this experience with you all since it took me a while to discover the problem. I have been using Open Office for months with no problem. Suddenly I could no longer open existing files or create new ones. It would go into a file recovery mode, recover a bogus file, send an error message to OO and start all over. I un-installed OO and reinstalled it with no change. I did a complete cleanup including removing directories, old files, registry entries, etc. Then I discovered I could not print from other applications, such as Firefox. I checked the printer icon and I could not access properties. I finally deleted the printer drivers, and reinstalled them. Then I reinstalled OO and it all works again. OO and other word processors need to know what printer is being used before it can format files to match that printer. Unfortunately is intolerant of the printer driver not being there and goes into this funky mode. I sent them a note. They need to do some defensive programing so that the application still runs without a printer and gives an appropriate error message that makes sense. The message of this post is that the cause of a trouble is not always what it seems. Hope this helps someone avoid similar problems. Vic Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48476

    - 64-bit print server causing problems with 32-bit workstations Hello, Due to a server move, I recently switched our print server from a 32-bit server to a AMD64 server. On some of the workstations now, we are unable to view the printer properties. I only get a message "Printer Properties can not be displayed. Operation could not be completed." The workstations this is happening on are the Windows 2000 computers, the XP computers work correctly. I was able to locate MS KB Article 908786, which describes this problem exactly. The problem is that the article says the problem occurs on Windows 2003, XP and 2000, but then provides resolutions (sort of) for Windows 2003 and XP only. It doesn't give any suggestions for Windows 2000 computers. All of the Windows 2000 computers are service pack 4 and updated with the most recent updates. We cannot update them to Windows XP as we are a school that relies heavily on donated computers and use the MS FreshStart program for our OS (they don't currently offer XP for the FreshStart program). We don't have the budget to purchase new OSes for all the computers. As the old server is being moved to a different campus, the only server we have available is the 64-bit one (and a workstation that has Windows Server 2003 installed on it, but it isn't capable of handling the extra burden (no matter how small is it) of being a print server). Does any one know of any hotfixes or patches or suggestions that I can try that will allow this print server to serve the needs of our old computers? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    - How to install Xp Pro x64 using MSDN DVD packs. Hi! I just bought a new Campaq Presario V3149 AU with XP Media Center 2005 Installed. It has an AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. I need to use it for my development and also have MSDN subscription DVDs available with me. My question is i need to install Win XP pro x64 version on the laptop. How do I go about it?

But when i try to install it through the MSDN DVD available it does not take the x64 key during installation but instead is taking the 32-bit version's key.

    - 64-bit dual core: vista business x64 or XP Pro x64? Hi! I'm having a hard time understanding the different capabilities of the various Windows versions for 64-bit support. I have a license for both XP Pro x64 and Vista business x64. Which utilizes a dual- core x64 processor better? Do applications have to be specifically written to utilize a dual-core x64-bit OS in both XP and Vista? I'm thinking Vista is better at uilizing my CPU's full capabilities despite whether the app is written for x32 or x64, am I right? Like, maybe Vista has drivers that spread the processing across both cores, and XP doesn't? I have a lot of money invested in the top of the line (today) and I just want to be able to use it to its full potential. Thoughts? Thanks all! -Jon Tag: auto recovery messed up Tag: 48390

I have changed the "The performance and alerts service" thingy from automatic to manual... Maybe that causing problems. Also what's this about ? registry key corruption ? Maybe delete the key or so ?

    - DVD/CD Drive problem I have wiped my hard drive clean, and started over with an xp pro x64/vista home premium dual boot, every time I do this I go back and follow my install notes I made the last time, and every time I do the same as last, and still end up running into problems. This time, I installed about 5 times before I found out what does not work this week with windows. Any way I am down to my last problem, When I first install edthe xp x64 onto partition 1 everything was a.o.k. and after I got done installing everything, that I downloaded, and put on from a few disks, I noticed that when I put a dvd, or cd in any opticial drive (I have 4) the window that pops up has no options in it, and is blank. I can only click at the bottom on ok, or cancel. usualey the window has things like play cd with media player, play dvd with media player, or nero, etc, etc. What gives, How do I get this lovely option to come back to my o.s. to stay for a while?

I was working with mini drive, saving as I went along. The computer froze and
I had to reboot. The file vanished from the USB mini drive. I went to my C
drive and found the file in auto recovery but when I opened it most was all
question marks with about 10% of the written text. Can I correct this
recovered file with all the question marks or recover a lost file on a mini
drive - or are they lost forever?
