CompactRio software error, safe mode, Staus light 4 flashes per second

My cRio 9204 was running fine for the past weeks. But this saturday it stopped working and Status light showing 4 flashes per second.
I opened MAX, and the cRio was in safe mode (sofeware error)
I tried to reformat the controller and reinstall the software. It did not fix the problem.
After I reformatted the controller, the Status lights were flashing twice per second (The controller has detected an error in its software)
After I installed the software, the Status lights were flashing 4 times per second (The controller software has crashed twice without rebooting or cycling power between crashes).
the Error log showed the memory was mostly free, so it was not memeory problem.
I am using LabView 2013 SP1, Real Time 13.0.1, CompactRio 13.1 Feb-2014, scan mode. The cRio is doing data logging and is running without PC connected. The TDMS file is saved in USB. Everyday a startup Vi will automatically run when there is power. Today when I check the TDMS file , I fould out it stopped recording at Saturday noon, and cRio was in error.
What could the problem be, what tests could I run to figure out the error is? Any idea would be appreciated. I have attached the error log to this message

The problem appears to be something is wrong with the hardware. I recommend that you contact National Instruments about getting the cRIO repaired. Have a great day.

Hp officejet 6310. I keep getting a reset power error message, all the lights are flashing

HP Officejet 6310 All in One printer. Computer is a HP Pavillion a1410n. Operating system is Windows xp media center edition. Version 2002.
I keep getting a reset power message on my HP officejet 6310, flashing lights. Machine is unresponsive. I have tried to reset power by unplugging power cord and plugging it back in while holding down the # key and 3, 6 or 9 keys.
Tried taking out the ink cartridges and put them back in. Now the printer says my tri color ink cartridge is depleated. It is not.
The test page is perfect and the alignment page is fine when it prints out. I have always used genuine HP ink cartridges.
The main problem is it starts up fine then after set up it goes to the reset power message with the flashing lights. Sometimes I can clear it but then the camera icon flashes and the machine is still unresponsive. Please help !

I have the same problem with my HP 6310xi.
I never get to a point where I can print the page because it is always doing cartridge alignment.
If the cartridge alignment is canceled, The machine will complete it start up and provide a functional scanner and printer.
This condition is unstable and it may revert any time to the power reset lights flashing at which time you can do the cancel procedure, but this is a real bother.
I am truly getting unhappy with Hewlett-Packard and their printers. Their proprietary cables. Their proprietary voltages and their installation software that throws garbageware on your computer.
I have an Epson it seems to be working over 10 years now and my problem is becoming one of finding ink supplies. In addition, I can fit a full-page which you cannot do with the HP. There a genius engineers had decided that you do not need that last half-inch no matter how much you want it.

CRio Password in Safe Mode

Hello,
We are days away from a deployment, and the cRio was working great until this afternoon. To start the sntp demon, I modified the ni-rt.ini file according to these instructions on the NI site. I turned the logs on to make sure it was working. It was. I turned the logs back off, and when I restarted the status light is blinking twice, with no bootup.
Since two flashes indicates a software issue, I tried reinstalling the software from safe mode. I did so without removing old files or formatting the drive. I expected this to restore the ni-rt.ini file. (System is cRio 9076, running LV 2012). Unfortunately on restart, the status light is blinking twice again.
Now, when I boot into safe mode, I am unable to make any alteration to the disk contents without being asked for a password. No password I've used on this cRio at any point works. FTP likewise is not accepted.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this system back up? It was all ready to go!
Thanks,
--Jeff

Windows 7 and classpnp.sys safe mode loop.

Hello,
First of all this is an outline to the system I am running.
Acer Aspire X1800
Brought as a Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, has now been upgraded to the equivalent in Windows 7.
Intel® Core™2 Quad processor
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7100 and nForce® 630i
4 GB of DDR2 667/800 MHz SDRAM (single-channel support on two DIMMs)
Serial ATA hard disk 1 TB
AMI PnP BIOS compatible with SMBIOS 2.4
PCI Express® 2.0 x16 slot
PCI Express® 2.0 x1 slot
Integrated NVIDIA® GeForce® 7100 graphics solution
PCI Express® 2.0 x16 graphics card support (low-profile)
I have been running Windows 7 now for some time a month or two and have no problems until now. I wanted to put my computer into safe mode so I can install the second disc of Fallout 3 Game of the year Edition. Frist of all I restarted the computer and used the F8 trick which did not work. The computer just booted into regular old Windows 7. So then I went through the msconfig way of things.
Now it is important to note that I had this problem when installing Fallout 3 on the same machine but running Vista. However the computer managed to "fix" it self back then.
The computer loads through all the drivers until it gets to C:\windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys
It stops loading here and tries to go into safe mode. The computer then comes up with a message saying entering Windows safe mode (or words to that effect) and lists some of the system details. The screen then changes to a blank screen with a mouse cursor in the middle of it. The computer then shuts down and begins to restart itself. It has gone into a infinite loop of restarts.
Ideas I have tried.
Pressing F8 brings up the boot menu, i have tried all options available in that. Nothing worked.
Interrupting the start up with a fake power cut. This resulted in the computer showing two options. Start Windows normally and start Windows recovery. Neither worked.
I have tried renaming the problem file C:\windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys to C:\windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.old
This resulted in the computer loading until the next value C:\windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys The computer then did all the usual loading. However before restarting the it showed the dreaded blue screen of death. It was over before i could see the error message that it contained.
I have tried resetting to a prior system date. this does not work either.
Other than that I have not been able to get into windows or anything else. The reason I am able to post this is a have access to another computer for the mean time.
Any ideas on this would very appreciated
Cheers
*EDIT*
Because the computer is Acer it should have a working E Recovery on it. However i can't remember if i deleted this or not. Will try using the hidden partition in the near future. This will most likely send me back to Vista but its a risk I am willing to take at this stage.

Hello Limbix
Thank you for your initial problem and the follow-up discussion on such a conundrum of a problem. As evidenced by the number of hits under Google for "Windows 7 boot sequence classpnp.sys" and 0 fixes, this problem is systematic of this OS. As
such, this is a ticking time bomb waiting for the most inopportune time to strike.
Furthmore, this problem has been known since RC1 of Windows 7. The problem still persists and there is no known remediation method.
KB 925810 is a unique solution when the OS is healthy. When this phenomena occurs, KB 925810 is a hoax for Laptop users and systems purchased from a vendor without a hardcopy of the OS media. For Home builts with a purchased hardcopy of the OS, KB 925810
is the option. But the option is to reinstall as opposed to a repair.
Using Ubuntu, to effect change by replacing CLASSPNP.SYS with a 6.1.7600.16385 version has produced mixed results. In addition, the method of downloading any file is fraught with problems of possible infection or worse yet a trojan. This essentially
leaves Option 2 and 4 as the SOP for this OS failure mode on laptops.
Problem:
New Toshiba A500 i7 with 8 Gig - Windows 7 Professional (Business)
A series of three critical patches were deployed to this machine at 9:30 pm on 5/26/2010 from Windows Update.  At 6:30 am 5/27/2010, the machine was discovered to have restarted and was stuck at the Starting Windows logo. Here were
the initial steps taken to remediate the problem.
Step 1. CTRL-ALT-DEL was used multiple times to restart the machine.
Results: The machine did not restart.
Step 2. Power recycled the machine.  Windows 7 offered to Launch Windows Repair on the OS. The repair was selected and completed with a request to restart.
Results: The machine stops at the Starting Windows logo. Still stuck.
Step 3. Restarted the machine through a power recycle. Pressed F8, selected last known good and restarted.
Results: The machine stops at the Starting Windows logo. Still stuck.
Step 4. Restarted the machine through a power recycle. Pressed F8, selected Advanced options.
Results: No options were available.
Step 5. Restarted the machine through a power recycle. Pressed F8, selected Boot loggin and restarted.
Results: The machine stops at the Starting Windows logo. Still stuck.
Step 6. Restarted the machine through a power recycle. Pressed F8, selected Safe Mode with Networking.
Results: The machine's last entry for the loading list was on
CLASSPNP.SYS and hung up.
Step 7. Began researching for the Windows 7 boot loading list for the before and after sequences to see if CLASSPNP.SYS was the culprit.
Results: Found this discussion and many more. Spent too much time researching for a solution. Most ended in silence.
Step 8. Considered taking the STATA drive and putting into an external enclosure.
Results: Did not take this step as the machine is under warranty. It was purchased in April, 2010.
Step 9. Going back over the Google research, discussion
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/64a52415-f9aa-448e-b79c-f4d9d27836c3 has Moderator Tim Quan MSFT stating that
"To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request, please refer to the website listed below:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS"
This support site will take a user to a list of vendors. The Toshiba link was selected. The link is the Toshiba home page. The Support link was
selected and a direct call was made to Toshiba at 7:30 am on 5/27/2010. A Toshiba case was opened. All 9 steps were presented to the support person and as directed the machine was put into a Factory reset mode.
Results: The machine has completed rebuilding as of 11:11 am 5/27/2010. Windows update patching is continuing the assult to be "secure".
Comments: One thing is certain, to be secure in one sense is have a machine in an inoperable state. However business cannot operate in an inoperable state. Neither
can a business operate in an insecure state. So, to receive an OS patch which causes the machine to be inoperable, has the quest to be secure been reduced to inoperability?
Suggestion: This problem needs more eyes and a better tracking method.
1. Is this a vendor issue, e.g. Motherboard, Memory, Hardware?
     1a. Is this lot specific?
     2a. Is there a driver mismatch?
2. Is this a process/sequence issue?
3. Is there a recovery process other than "Scorched earth"?

Will new USB hard drive work in Safe Mode?

Hello,
I just a had a recent post about some Toshiba laptop issues I am having. To make sure I don't lose my files, I have have been looking at a Western Digital 500GB USB drive.
I'm able to boot to Safe Mode OK, and USB thumb drives have worked. I noticed this WD USB drive has software to install. Will I be able to use the USB hard drive for the first time in Safe Mode, or will I need to install the software first (which I don't think I'll be able to do in Safe Mode).
Just making sure I can before I buy it, thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you should not have any problem installing the WD software in safe mode and perform the backup.

How to get into Safe Mode (win7)

I have a user who installed Windows 7 on his Mac (natively). He now has a virus - which means he needs to run his AV software in SAFE MODE (running a scan in normal mode is usually a waste of time).
But.... how in the heck do I get his computer to boot into Safe Mode? On a PC, I would hit F8 at the Bios screen. But the Mac Bios is completely different.
Or will hitting F8 still work?

EFI is still a 'basic IO system' and while you can't booted into EFI setup screen, you can do Safe Mode. All computers have to bootstrap the system and have basic firmware supported method. UEFI will though have a harder time be adopted - though support for booting from GPT and 2.1TB volumes may force it.
For AV, I would strongly recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, free and darn good which was updated yesterday.

1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

Screen goes black / fine in safe mode

My g4 has original 64mb agp card.
when i boot it looks ok just before the mac os screen then it goes black
if i boot in safe mode , everything appears ok , but there is some interference lines on the screen(can change res etc. )
boots ok in single user.
graphics card has been reseated.. i think it's that , any other ideas before i splash some cash on a new one.
at the same time a pci ethernet card appears to have died. with it installed the mac won't boot just helicopter take off mega fan spinning.
we had an electrical storm , could this have done something nasty?
i have tried pci cards in all slots and they seem ok... i'm worried the agp is stuffed, just don't get why it displays in safe mode, but not normal..
thanks for any help x

Opps-
I wasn't asking...I was providing a link to an article telling you what Safe Mode is and does as per your question "what do they do different in safe mode to normal boot... so odd ?" in your reply post to my first.
Click on the blue text "What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?" and you can read for yourself what it does, and why I am suggesting that it could be a problem with Startup items.
I know what, why and how...

Thunderbird keeps crashing, and I don't have it up long enough to put it in safe mode.

How do I put it in safe mode if I only have 5 seconds? I have already disabled suspicious add-ons but now the crash times are even shorter.
Also, for several months, I haven't been able to update thunderbird. Could this be linked to the crash?
thanks for your help,
Marina

Are you using McAfee anti virus?
according to this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Mac_OS_X
Mac OS X
Hold down the Option key while starting your Mozilla application. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the Option key again while clicking the button to start Firefox, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey.) [5]
As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
For Thunderbird:
/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -safe-mode
If you have installed the application to another location, modify the path as such. It's the "-safe-mode" command line parameter that's crucial here.

Software Download v6.1.1 Error to FP-2000 Results in Safe Mode (Improper Installation)

Hello -
I have (4) FP-2000 modules (P/N 187685G-01) and (1) FP-2000 (P/N 187685C-01) and I am trying to install LabVIEW RT version 6.1.1. I attempted to download the 6.1.1 software onto the fieldpoint, however, the installation results in safe mode (improper installation). I tried to download the software again but still getting the same message. Configuring the FP is not an issue, just downloading software. I've reviewed other discussion forums and I am not seeing my particular situation. I am sure if I had a part number at rev A, the installation would not be an issue. Can anyone tell me how I can install the FP software without receiving the "safe mode (improper installation)" error?

Thank you for your reply!
1. I am using Windows XP. I've used this same PC to download the fieldpoint software to another FP-2000 before. The revision of the fieldpoint that I was successful with was rev A.
2. No. Using fieldpoint software 3.0.2. Haven't made any NI driver updates to this PC.
3. Installing the software one by one:
When attempting to download Fieldpoint VI Manager v1.0.28, Fieldpoint Watchdog v1.0.28, IA Control Environment v4.1.6 or NI-Serial v2.0.2, an error is received:

When continuing with the installation, error "Network communication error while trying to communicate to the remote device. Error 12002." is displayed.

Installation failed during file transfer. Your root password may be incorrect, or the file may be in use on the remote device.

Status = Safe Mode (Software Error)

Hi
I have a FP-2015 controller with 9 different I/O modules connected to it. A very large application (clouded VIs)was written by a previous colleague. When I run this application on a computer that is connected to the FP-2015 controller, everything seems to work fine. Then, I embedded the application in the controller and launch it at every start-up. The FP controller will run for some time (not fixed, can be an hour or 2 days) and then stops. When I look at the controller's status in MAX, it is at "Safe Mode (Software Error)". I think there's an coding error, but it's really tedious to go through all the code. I found out that MAX has a function called "View Log Error" and I have attached this file. Does it tell where the error occurs?
I read that file, and apparently it's something about VISA -serial. The FP-2015 serial port is interfaced with a weather station (simply downloading data from it).
Thanks

Hi TaanTao,
If a FP-20xx controller crashes twice in a row (without rebooting in between), it will boot up the next time in safe mode with the status LED flashing to indicate the error type. This will prevent the startup executable from restarting unless the power on the system is cycled. Do you notice the LED flashing? If so, how many times?
It would be a lot easier to identify and troubleshoot the error if you can find the error number. Is the controller constantly communicating with the weather station? Do you notice if the crash occurs after a particular event occurs? If your code is very complicated, it may be a good idea to add "checkpoints" into your code which would either write to a marker file or to the front panel so you can get a better idea of when and where the error is encountered. Also, try placing an Error Handler (Time and Dialog subpalette) into your code so the error will pop up in a dialog box and possibly be easier to identify.
The following KB describes a similar situation to what you're encountering. Does the error code seem familiar?
Why Do I Get the Error 32810 When I Run the FieldPoint VIs Embedded on the FP-20xx?
Thanks,
Lesley

When I try to print from Lightroom the program appears to go into safe mode(light gray) and never opens print options

I am trying to print a photo in Lightroom. I go to the print tab and it appears the program goes into safe mode(light gray) and does not open print options. All other functions of the program are working. I am not getting a memory low warning or other error messages. What would cause this problem?

DO NOT use HP's software for installing the printer, locate the uninstall directions from HP and uninstall ALL the HP software. Then follow the instructions located in Apple's Wireless Printer Install advice letter.

I tried to install latest OS update. Recd error installing. IT tried to load the upgrade in Safe Mode. Now system will not boot up. IT says I have to do a clean install which loses all data.

After receiving an error when I try to install the latest update of OS-X, I took my laptop to oour schools IT dept. They tried to run the update in safe mode and then they got an error saying the system could not find the hard drive. Now they want to run a clean install which loses 1000's of docs and pictures. I have Block I exams in med school next Monday and all of my notes and slides are on that hard drive.
The IT dept took the hard drive out and tried to back it up and they said they other computer could not connect or find my hard drive.
Major panic....
I have Norton antivirus and have never found any viruses on the system. I also have a program called ExamSoft which some other students here have noted they had similar crashes. Not sure if that is the issue...

Several take home messages here:
always back up before you update.
always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend.
