It posts, but wont start up windows

hey everyone,
help! my computer wont go past the windows loading screen. I recently brought it to a friend's house for a lan, but when I got there it wouldnt go past the windows loading screen. I tried reconnecting and everything, I even RMA'd the board because I had a similiar but not the same problem before. Well I have the new board in and everything (it's 1.6 bios btw). All the diagnostic LEDs seem fine. But the computer still will not go past the loading screen. Any ideas? Maybe it's a PSU or RAM timing problem? This is really frustrating....

Try a stick of DDR2100 or something similar, sounds like the timings are stuck, another mem stick will reset them. Else remove everything, Ram, Drives, power, Cmos Jumper to pins 2 & 3, Video Card, and any USB or PCI cards, leave for several hours to allow total discharge. Then re assemble, if you have a PCI video card use that to get it restarted. But a fresh stick of Ram will likely work.
cheers

After Effects just bounces in the dock but wont start

Hi all,
Just installed CS4 production studio under Snow Leopard. All works well and updated using the Adobe Updater. All apps are fine except AE which just bounces in the dock a few times and then stops. I read that this could be because Rosetta was not installed. I installed Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD and still nothing. Have restarted 3 times just in case (I also read that several restarts may be required to get it to work), but still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dave

OK... Now I feel like Scott of the Antartic writing in his journal before the inevitable... I am writing this purely to help anyone else with the same issue to resolve it without the pain that I am still experiencing. Hopefully the last entry will read "all solved" and not "I am about to pop outside... I may be some time..."
After using CS2 for the bulk of my work I thought I'd try and get this solved once and for all, especially as we have a DVCPROHD project coming up and need CS4 to do it.
OK... The so now I have the suite running, except Premiere is running under at trial without the presets and the updates fail when installing. Contacted support this week, they wont re-open the original case because it has been over a month. Fair enough, new case.
The adobe guy takes control of my machine, deactivates it, then from Finder deletes lots of folders. He then asks me to re-install the products. I do this (2 hours later) and run Premiere and it appears to work with presets. I look a bit closer and notice that under the help menu of Premiere Register, Deactivate and Updates are all greyed out. This is not the case in the other products of the suite. OK, so not a major deal but does imply something is not installed right. I run the Adobe Updater, Premiere updates, but AE, PS and several updates fail.
Call back to support. This time the Adobe guy takes control of my machine suggests I deactivate the suite, run the un-install and then download and run the CS3 Clean script and re-install. I do all this. Another 2 hours later feeding discs into the machine... and... Premiere looks fine, presets all there... but wait for it... AFTER EFFECTS JUST BOUNCES IN THE DOCK BUT WONT START.
3rd call back to support and ask for the issue to be escalated. This is difficult and I have to cause a fuss to realise that this problem is the same one that has been hanging around for months and that I am not prepared to spend more hours removing every trace of Adobe from my machine and re-installing - this doesn't work. The support technician asks me to delete a hidden folder that has all the Adobe patches in it, manually download the AE 9.0.2 update and install it. It installs but AE wont start. I explain that I've had enough and want the problem escalated.
I finally get a call back from a 2nd level engineer this morning. After explaining the that AE wont start and then answering the question "why is this a problem for you!" we do some quick troubleshooting. This time I have to pull out the network cable, turn off Airport, create a new user account, log on to it and then see if AE runs. Which it does. Within seconds we get launched into the pre-determined script, "if it runs under another user account then there is nothing wrong with the applications and I should call Apple". After being patronised for a further 5 mins I had to PROVE to the guy that it was also possible that the fault was Adobes. I also know the moment I phone Apple, the response will be "Call Adobe".
The only example I could give him at the time was to image a piece of software I had written that allocated memory based on the screen resolution (this is a user preference) and if my code was badly written and crashed when encountering a screen resolution bigger than my code was expecting. OK, is that Apple's fault, no it is my code. Will it run under one user and not another, yes it will. There are a million other posibilities. Some I agree could be Apple's, but equally some could be Adobes and the big fat fob off as soon as you can is terrible.
I have also since realised since leaving this call with the technician, that:
1) This is a brand new iMac and the Adobe Suite was the 1st piece of 3rd party software installed on it.
2) The iMac is for video editing and nothing else.
3) This was working without presets before the Adobe guys deleted all these files and asked me to re-install. It is more likely that they have deleted something they should not have rather than the a bug in the OS. A bug in the OS is still possible but I suspect the problem is with a rogue bit of installation code from Adobe.
Finally incase anyone from Adobe is reading this:
I have paid thousands of pounds for this software.
I have been unable to use it for months.
A problem like this should be gold dust for you. Here is the chance to get to the bottom of an issue that several people are having, understand the mechanics of what is going wrong. Write a KB article as well as a patch and this would save the time/money and effort of an awful lot of people (including your own).
As a short thought experiment I would like everyone at Adobe to image the following:
You pay £1,000 of your own money for a tool to do your work on the promise that you can make this money back in productivity gains, new business, etc.
The tool you use every day to make a living won't work. For the benefit of the experiment, imagine this is your email client, web browser or case management tool.
You have no IT group to replace your machine or to come and solve it.
You can't tell your customers that your software is down and you have to keep doing your job.
You have to spend an additional 3 days in your own time, working late or weekends to try and fix the software yourself.
You to keep downloading a Gigabyte of data 3 or four times and you have to pay for downloads. Currently you are running up a bill of over £100 in downloads and phone calls.
You don't get paid the overtime and your customers start complaining you are late with your work.
You lose customers... you eventually get fired because you have lost too many of them.
...This is what it feels like for a small creative business to not be able to install the software they bought.

My mac pro charging but wont start up whats going on? Was working fine till yesterday and i shut down and havent been able to turn it on today

My macbook pro will not start up. Its charging and fully charged but wont start. Was fine till yesterday when keyboard stopped typing and then shut down and now wont start up

If after an SMC reset it will not power on then I suggest you take it to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a diagnostic check and estimate of repairs.

Is the message that the printer is offline?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
If not then check the USB cable between the computer and printer and reseat it if necessary.

W540 fingerprint reader wont start during windows logon

Greetings to all fellow thinkpad owners,
As the title indicates, i have an issue with my w540's fingerprint function.
My laptop is relatively new ~2 weeks old and as i am on vacation i boot it every 2-3 days just to mess with it.
few days ago i noticed that the fingerprint wont always start in the first boot and wont work in windows log on, however it will work if i lock/sleep the laptop.
some times it would work some other times it wouldnt. now i tried re-installing the driver and now FP doesnt appear at all in the logon.
i also noticed that the fingerprint software made the laptop a bit slower during the windows startup. now that i have removed it the password area appears almost immediately during the logon process.
things i have tried so far:
1) all drivers are up to date
2) removed all registered fingerprints, deleted the driver and the FP manager pro
3) installed the FPmanager pro from the lenovo update system and registered new fingerprints
4) i only have 1 admin account on windows and the all options are ticked in the FPmanager pro also in biometric settings its ticked to allow users to use FP to log on.
5) waited for 2-3 minutes in the password area, only the FP led open, but it wouldnt work
the issues persists. FP wont appear on logon but only after sleep/lock.
my software specifications:
win7 x64 pro
antivir
latests windows updates
lenovo software not installed: password manager, quick control
and nothing crazy installed apart from steam for games and windows office.
is this a hardware problem or something that windows 7 are causing?
thank you for your time and thank you in advance for any reply
kind regards,

I attempted to reset the policy settings of CSS but then the pop up screen just got stuck:
- I did a reboot and reset the fingerprint data and password (after exporting the
settings),
- uninstalled the fingerprint reader and CSS
- uninstalled the CSS. I had encountered some issues while uninstalling it
Windows is reporting that the installation log file could not be found. I manually
downloaded the driver from the site and used the installer to remove it from my PC
- Reinstalled both CSS and Fingerprint driver
- Import all my security settings (password and fingerprint)
- Tested CSS and used fingerprint as default login method in battery mode
- Enabled Single SignIn method in CSS and BIOS
So far so good, the reinstallation fixed the issue. I did recall that there was a windows update before this mayhem on the fingerprint reader started.

Windows backup wont start on windows 7 home premium

I have been trying to start my windows backup utility on windows 7. It starts to the loading screen that says Starting windows backup, wait while windows backup starts. It stays on this screen indefinitely as i have left the machine run for days on end
waiting for it to start or error out. Any clues as to what this may be caused by, or how to fix it?

follow this document for Windows 7 backup

i suggest using external HDD, USB pen drive will takes forever
or you can also try using 3rd party application, but its our own risk and fully support comes from manufactured

Bridge wont Start on Windows 7

Hey There
I was using Bridge cs4 on windows 7. until last night, I didn't have any problem with it. next day, I turned on my computer and try to use Bridge, the program is not starting at all. there is no error message but no start. I check other adobe program and they are fine.
When I check processes section on task manager, right after I click on bridge.exe, the image name on processes I see bride.exe for couple of second and it disappears.
Can anyone help me with this
Thanks in advance

That is weird enough to try resetting the preferences. Make sure Bridge is off and hold down the Ctrl key and click on start icon for Bridge. If things are working normllay you will get a reset window. Choose all 3 options.
If you get it started I would recommend disabling the option to start Bridge on Startup. Causes more problems that it is worth.
Hope this helps.

IPod keeps turning itself on and off but wont start

My iPod has been turning itself on, but before it's past the screen with the apple it turns itself back off and it will repeat doing that until the battery runs low then it will sit on the battery screen for a few minutes. After it gets some juice it starts back up with this crap. I figured it wasnt the battery because it was almostly completly fully charged when it started happening. It was when I was charging it, and when I was done I removed it from the computer properly; pushed the button to start it up and its been doing this disturbing ritual since. Ive tried every thats been suggested on this site, and I'd love to restore it, but iTunes doesnt reconize it. I've been trying to fix it for hours working with both the iPod and Windows but nothing seems to have any affect on it. I am afraid I'm going to have to replace the entire thing.
If anybody knows anything that might help, please, I'll take any form of it ya got.

I posted something earlier this week and i realized we have the exact same problem!!!! Sorry, but the bad news is that restore won't work!!! I put it on disk mode so the computer finally recognized it. It also charges on disk mode. I charged it for over an hour. But after i tried restore, it went back its old routine! Now I'm starting to charge it on normal mode for four hours, just in case. Have you tried the 'drain it for 24 hours' thing? I've seen it on several websites, but haven't tried it yet. SOMEONE HELP US!!!!!

A bit of a shot in the dark, but this appears to be an issue with pulling down the update from the Windows Store. I have not run into this issue directly, but this thread has a lot of information.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_store/windows-8-apps-are-pending-...
The one tidbit that might help here from that thread is:
"finally I found a solution. go to troubleshooting (press win+w >then type troubleshooting). now a window opens in desktop. click "fix problems with windows updates". now click next. windows will search for solutions, but it wont find anything. then windows will ask if u want to try in administrator mode. click yes. windows will find and solve the problem. that's it."

Itunes wont start on windows vista

itunes won't start on my computer on any of the profiles i tried to uninstall it but it never fully uninstalled so i tried updating it NOTHING!!! what's wrong??? oh yea i have windows vista home premium if that helps any.

You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
This one can be caused by the installer getting damaged on the download.
What browser are you using for the download? Does it make any difference in the performance of the installer if you user Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

Have you tried uninstalling both QuickTime and iTunes through Add or Remove programs on your computer?
For instructions, see this:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
By the way, an uninstall does not affect your iTunes library files, since they would still be saved in a folder called "iTunes Music" on your computer.

VS2015 CTP - installed but wont start

Hi,
I have installed this (on win10 64bit) and when I first started it, it was last seen saying 'building MEF graph' and then it existed.
It now just flashes up a brief screen before existing.
I have reinstalled/repaired but it still follows this sequence.
Any ideas/help appreciated!
Thanks
nick

Hi nickfarrow,
Accoridng to your description, I suggest you can try to check if you installed third-party tool/sofeware on your machien.
If you installed, I suggest you disable or un-installe them and then check your issue again.
If no, I suggest you can try to close the Anti-virus software or the firewall on your machine check this issue agin.
If the above suggestion still could not help you, since
