External screen (19") doesn't start up in Windows XP

I have a Sony external screen attached to my Macbook Pro which is partitioned using Bootcamp. My external screen works fine on the Mac side, but not on the Windows XP partition. I only get the laptop screen. I then configure XP using the NDVIA utility, and I finish and save the configuration. However, the next time I open Windows XP, only my laptop screen shows, and I then must go thru the entire NDVIA configuration process all over again. Microsoft said to talk with Sony, NDVIA, or Apple since they can't help. NDVIA doesn't talk to anyone, and Sony was friendly, but said to ask everyone else. The Apple Product Specialist said I should post the question on this forum. Can anyone help, please?

So, you're talking about a specific drive.
then try testdisk. it's available in extra.
also you may try to use another cable.
Unfortunatly my system doesn't see any usb drives. But when I boot in stock kernel, everything is OK
PS a few months ago I have bricked my external hdd by inserting it in win7 by mistake. Billy's OS didnt recognised my ext3 partition, and destroed it without any prompt. B****! I still cant forgive it

Screen saver doesn't start

Hi All,
I've a strange problem on my MBP. The screen saver doesn't start automatically after the set period.
Do i need to reset the power management or it's a macos X 10.5.5 bug.
Any idea is very well appreciated.
Regards
Paul

It probably means that some process is running in the background which is preventing the screen saver from kicking in, Paolo. You may be able to find out what it is using Activity Monitor.

HT203175 only a tiny operation screen opens when I start Itunes in Windows Vista

In Windows Vista I am unable to open iTunes (updated 10.7); all that comes up is a small window in top left hand corner which enables me to press start. There is nothing else. It used to work well a few months ago but I downloaded a whole series, it worked badly with jittering sound and out of sync but after reinstalling both programs (iTunes and Quicktime) nothing is starting. Can anyone help, please?

Adobe Cloud doesn´t start on windows start?

Hello,
the cloud doesn´t start anymore with windows. Settings are ok. Is there any service that must run? At the windows autostart config no entry about the cloud.
Any idea?
Thx for help
best wishes

Hi w4ll4ce,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
There is an option in the CC preferences which turns off the Launch at startup. Go to the CC icon to bring up the window and then click on the ger icon. Now select the Preferences...command.
on the window that now displays, check the 'Start at launch' option, and close the window via red button in the upper left.
Now the CC will start at launch of the windows i.e at the start up.

Xchat-gnome doesn't start

Hi,
I've just made a clean install and for some reason xchat-gnome doesn't start. The window doesn't even show only the notification that the program has crashed. I've tried to compile the package localy but that didn't help.
I realize this isn't much info to work with but what info would be useful and how do I gather it?
I would be really glad if someone could help me figure this one out.

Could it have something to with what repos we are using?
I'm using current, extra, community, testing and unstable.
nuopus, NeoEx and baze, what repos are you using?
i use those 5 aswell. the only thing from unstable is gimp-devel. from testing i use
alsa-lib
alsa-utils
ipw3945
kernel26
klibc-udev
openssl
udev
and then i use self-built avahi, libburn, nss-mdns and squeeze-svn. not really any packages which i think could cause this stuff to work here.
i use the hosteurope mirrors, maybe some packages are broken on your server, though i don't expect that.

How do I fix a initializing problem with my macbook pro? I only get to the blank screen with the apple logo and the "processing something"sign... it just doesn't start the system....

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
Most commonly used backup methods
Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode shift CMD V the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this? Thanks Eamonn

Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail. I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present". Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility. The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution? I fear I am fast running out of options.

Windows 8.1 doesn't start after update. BLACK SCREEN AFTER LOGIN

Before all, sorry my english, I'm brazilian and don't found the solution on the brazilian version of HP website.
After I did the updates, the system ask to restart the notebook, so I did it. And now, when I do the login, after the password page, the Windows doesn't starts. Just a Black Screen appears.
I can't open the right side window to acces the configurations, and this laptop doesn't have a battery to take out and put in again.
I had already restore the system.
So, I use my laptop to work, and it has only 4 days of use.
I need help! Thanks!

Hi,
Run through the following procedure.
Boot the computer normally and log-in.
At the black screen, hold down the ctrl and alt keys and press delete.
Select Task Manager.
Click on File and select Run new task.
Type cmd.exe - also enter a tick in the box for 'Create this task with administrative privileges' - and click Ok.
Type in the following command ( including spaces ) and hit enter.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This will take a while to complete, but when it’s finished, restart the notebook.
If the screen is still black after you log-in, once again, hold down the ctrl and alt keys and press delete.
Select Task Manager.
Click on File and select Run new task.
Type cmd.exe - also enter a tick in the box for 'Create this task with administrative privileges' - and click Ok.
Type in the following command ( there's a space between sfc and the / ) and hit enter.
Sfc /scannow
When the scan has finished, check that the result is ‘No integrity violations’, then type exit and hit enter.
Restart the notebook again.
Any change?

External screen doesn't go into standby when putting MacBook Pro into sleep

I'm using a new MacBook Pro with an external monitor (DELL P2411H) through a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter.
When putting the Macbook into sleepmode, the external screen goes into standby but immediately wakes up, then goes back into standby and wakes up ... this cycle doesn't stop. The only option is to manually push the powerbutton on the display.
I'm having this issue too when using a MacBook Pro 13", so it's not a single issue.

My Ipod's screen doesn't start.

Hi,
I have an Ipod nano 6th generation (with the touch screen) and one day it decided for no reason to not start. First I thought the battery was dead. But after 6 straight hours of recharge from a wall plug, it wouldn't start anyway. I tried to plug it onto my computer and Itunes could easily recognize it and sync it. But the screen of my Ipod wasn't turning on at any time even if my computer detected it.
I tried to restore it, but the problem stayed and I tried many solutions there were on the little booklet and on the Apple's website (like pressing the power button and the ''-'' button for 6 seconds). Also, I searched throughout the forum but I didn't find any people who had the same problem.
I have an Acer computer with windows 7, but I don't think the problem comes from my computer because it did its job very well, it is just that the screen doesn't start at all.
So, should I return it to the store where I bought it or there is still something to do for that?
Any help would be very appreciated.
Felix

oh and by the way, the day before it was working very well and I didn't broke it up. I mean I didn't overheated or dropped water on it, etc. It just started to not work for no apparent reason.

If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it. If not, try the steps in this support article:

MacBook Pro, randomly Windows 7 doesn't start and screen goes blank

Hi, I installed Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit) using the BootCamp on my MacBook Pro (MBP) i7, mid 2010. Installation was successful without any issues. This is my first Mac and, for now, I primarily use Windows on my MBP. The problem: After selecting Windows OS, randomly, Windows doesn't start and the screen goes blank. When this happens, most of the time I have to press the power button twice and press the Option key again to restart in Windows. Sometimes I have to hold down power button for several seconds to turn off MBP, then power it back on to start over. Windows 7 seems to restart on second try every time.
I can tell when the screen will go blank and Windows will not start, when the blinking cursor does not appear on upper left corner of the screen. Also, I enabled Windows OS Boot Log and nothing displays when this happens.
I took in my MBP, twice, to local Apple store Genius Bar and I was told that it was a Windows problem and I must purchase AppleCare Protection Plan to get help resolving the blank screen. It was explained to me that AppleCare had Windows experts who can help with resolving the issue. Therefore I purchased the AppleCare Protection Plan and spoke to AppleCare directly and still no resolution.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp, this is a general MBP forum and most of us don't use Boot Camp or Windows. The link to that forum is:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
Apple does support Boot Camp however if your problem is with Windows Apple does not support a Microsoft product. You would need to contact Microsoft for help.

My iq522 doesn't start and staying on start up screen without proceeding to boot process.

HP IQ522PL Model No. NF369AA
Windows Vista 64-bit
No error message.
No changes made to the computer/software before the problem occured.
The problem is as described in the subject - the PC stays on start up blue HP screen and doesn't proceed into booting process.
No F-key commands is active, when I press for Menu or Setup option it just inform that its loading but nothing is happening.
I don't hear any noise of the disk.
What can I do to fix it and turn the PC to boot and start loading Windows system ?
Thanks in advance for any valuable advise on that.

Hi,
I've unpluged the HDD and turned on the PC. It then moved from HP blue screen into black screen with the following message:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
If I'm interpretating it right, it just confirming that doesn't see the hard drive and therefore the boot file is not found.
If this conclusion is right then maybe the boot file is missing and I need to load it some how, then.
Can you advise what your interpretation is and what should be my next move to diagnose the issue and finally fix it.
Looking forward for good advise on that.
Regards,
Konrad.
