ITunes Crash On Startup (Windows XP, on Acer Aspire One)

hey b noir i seen you helped these guys out. i need help my itunes is doing the same it crashes at start upi have tried scanning for any virus and what not and still doesnt want to work. please help thank you

ModName:ntdll.dll
Not my favorite result at the moment.
Can you try to launch your QuickTime Player, please? Do you get a "QuickTime has encountered a problem" message? If so, does the information link in the box say that the QuickTime error is a BEX?
If so, I'm afraid that malware is the worry with that ntdll.dll/BEX combination, player. (Often people who get it also can't get their Adobe Reader to launch either, although that symptom isn't universal.)
I'm not sure which particular beast (or beasts) is the culprit at this stage, but the free version of Malwarebytes has been doing a good job of fixing it for a lot of people.
Download and install Malwarebytes from the following page. Update the Malwarebytes definitions prior to running a scan with Malwarebytes:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
If the Malwarebytes scans pick up infections could you let us know what they are called, please?
If you remove the infections, can you get your iTunes and QuickTime launching again?

Itunes crashing on startup - Windows 8.1

Hi since upgrading to Windows 8.1 I've had nothing but problems with itunes. Since downloading the latest Microsoft release for 8.1 my Itunes constantly crashes on startup. I've tried removing and reinstalling itunes, still didnt work. I then tried running itunes in various compatibility modes eg windows 7 etc, still not working. To be honest I feel this is a poor show that two major worldwide programs fail to work together on Windows 8.1. Any help in getting itunes to work would be gratefully received. Thanks J

Have you gotten any help with this issue anywhere else?

ITunes crashes on startup (7.4.3.1 and previous versions on Vista 32Bit)

Deleting/moving the itunes library files (iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl) makes it work fine which leads me to believe it crashes when loading the playlist. But not always!
iTunes crashes on startup on my vista 32bit.
Even after I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 and reinstalled iTunes several times.
I've also tried reinstalling quicktime and selecting "Repair" to no avail.
Running it in XP2 compatibility mode doesn't help.
Disabling Aero doesn't help.
Whether or not my iPhone is plugged in or not seems to make no difference.

ITunes crashing on startup - on a fresh Windows2000 install

I know there are a few topics about iTunes crashing on startup already, but I really don't know what to make of this situation.
I just installed Windows 2000 on a new motherboard this morning, and iTunes and Quicktime are the only programs that won't work on it.
-iTunes actually crashed at the end of its installation, so I knew things would be bad right away.
-iTunes crashes a half-second after I try starting it.
-Quicktime opens, but crashes whenever I try to play a video.
-All my other audio and video programs work, including Media Player and Media Player Classic.
-No, I don't have a virus checker installed. The only other programs I have installed are .NET framework, DirectX 9, ffdshow, and the K-Lite Codec Pack... This is literally the exact same setup I had on the older motherboard which died and had to replace with this one.
It's almost as if it's some crazy error where these programs won't work with the new motherboard or sound card (using SiS onboard sound).
Fresh installs and seperate Quicktime installs don't seem to be working.
Basically, nothing is working.

ECS K7S5A Windows 2000

Well, it's working now, and I have no idea why, unfortunately. So I'm not entirely convinced this problem won't happen again.
I did go and find one peculiarity in that my Date and Time was set to May 2086. Uhhh... Im using the computer with a rather old and blurry TV monitor and 8s look like 0s. I know sometimes things like this will affect programs, though I do remember being able to run iTunes while having my time off before.
Still, that's the only thing I changed before it started working again. Does anyone know if such an issue has come up before?

KDE 4.4.0 crashes when logging in on Acer Aspire One

Hello,
I just made an ArchLinux fresh installation on my Acer Aspire One, A1-ZG5. This is my problem: when I log in to KDE, the splash screen comes and then screen freezes. There is one gray window in the top of the screen that just flashes, no windows nor plasma can be seen. I have installed other KDE distros in the same netbook and worked well. I had had the same problem once, when I installed KDE 4.3.1, and never could fix it... KDE seems to be working like in the background; config files are still being created with the frozen screen...any ideas?...Thanks for your help!...:rolleyes:

is your disk full?
if not, try to switch off the services, remone network-manager plasmoids, and try again

Flash Player crashes instantly, cannot disable hardware acceleration - Ubuntu 11.10 Acer Aspire One

Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit
Firefox 10.0.2 32 bit
Flash 11.1 r102
I have a Acer Aspire One netbook
As soon I hit "play" on a flash movie, flash player crashes
I have tried to disable hardware acceleration to eliminate that possibility, but the check box does not respond to input
I read that the flash player system controls do not respond when there are scrollbars around the screen (as there are on a small netbook screen) so I zoomed out to get rid of the scrollbars, but the systems setting menu is still unresponsive when I try to disable hardware acceleration

Thanks Carl, but as I mentioned:
>I have tried to disable hardware acceleration to eliminate that possibility, but the check box does not respond to input
eg. when I right slick on a player, the setting menu opens up, but the "Enable hardware" check box does not respond to a mouse click and remains on I also tried tabbing around the settings menu and using the return key to select/ de-select but that doesn't work either

How do I install the latest version of Firefox on my Acer Aspire One running Linpus Linux Lite?

I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. It runs "Linpus Linux Lite" OS. It came with Forefox 2 installed. I have searched the web for advice on how to upgrade to Firefox 3.5.
I had a go at it, I have now lost Firefox 2, but failed to install a later version.
Can someone tell me how t0 get either Firefox 2 back, or better still, unstall Firefox 3.5?
I should say that I'm a novice so I need really basic instructions.
If this plea for help doesn't work, I'll take my netbook to my local PC chap & ask for Windows to be installed on it!
Thanks.

Can't boot Arch from USB on Acer Aspire One...

Hi All,
New to the forums, relatively new to Linux. I've tried several distros including #!, U/K/Xubuntu, Mint, Kuki, Puppy and Wolvix. However none of them, except maybe Mint, have played very nicely with my Acer Aspire One netbook. Even Kuki was a bit of a disaster, though I liked the Midori browser, first time I'd used it was under Kuki.
Intro aside, I want to try Arch. I am not scared of a bit of hands-on work via CLI, although am certainly no expert when it comes to CLI & Linux!
The problem is, I created a USB install for the latest 32bit version of Arch using Unetbootin (I tried both under Windows and Linux, creating USB live sticks with both). However when I try to boot from USB, all goes well until just after a message during the boot process appears. I forget off the top of my head what the error message says, though it appears after successfully waiting 30 seconds to discover a SCSI drive (or something along those lines).
The error has nothing to do with the drive, it's related to the step in the boot process that comes after that. Whatever the message is (I'm at work so cannot access logs or anything right now) it ends up asking me to resolve from a CLI prompt, which then leaves me with a prompt dialog, or to restart and try again.
Nothing seems to work so I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if it might be a bug with Unetbootin or a bug with the latest version of Arch? Or simply a good old fashioned ID10T error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll mark this as an ID10T error for now then. I'll give the USB install image a try tonight. On a side note, does Arch come with Skype pre-installed and if not, is it relatively simple to install a la the *.deb package install?

[HOWTO] Installing Arch Linux stable release on Acer Aspire One 522

[This is a work on progress and my first howto ever]
These steps will teach you how to install ArchLinux x64 stable release (currently 2010.05) on Acer Aspire One 522 from an existing ArchLinux (your desktop computer)
As you need a 2.6.37+ kernel to make networking work on the AO522, installing stable release as is won't work.
This Howto borns with the intention to address this problem.
You need to be familiarized with Linux internals to follow this howto.
(Expect this howto to become useless with new stable releases of ArchLinux.)
Remember to make a backup of your Windows 7 Starter system before installing ArchLinux.
I did a full raw copy of the harddisk by using systemrescuecd, an external harddisk and dd utility:
Just boot with systemrescuecd
Mount your external harddisk on /mnt/floppy for example
Clone harddisk with: dd if=/dev/sda |gzip -c > /mnt/floppy/ao522.img
This process took me a lot of time since my external harddisk is USB-1 (almost an entire evening)
Result image was about 22GB size
This image will restore partition table, boot sector and all data if things go wrong.
I followed some of the steps from this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
If you have some Gentoo Linux experience you will find those steps really familiar.
You will need 2 USB pendrives or similar storage options.
One is needed to boot into your netbook, and the other to store our custom archlinux build.
Making an updated ArchLinux system
1) Make a local dir on your existing linux system
# mkdir ./newarch
2) Install pacman database on it
# pacman -Sy -r ./newarch
3) Install base system
# pacman -S base -r ./newarch
4) Let's chroot inside
# cp /etc/resolv.conf ./newarch/etc/
# cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ./newarch/etc/pacman.d
# mount -t proc proc ./newarch/proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./newarch/sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./newarch/dev
# chroot ./newarch /bin/bash
5) Edit configuration files
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
# nano -w /etc/hosts
# nano -w /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Forget /etc/fstab for now since you don't know what partitions to use yet
6) Generate kernel image
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
7) Generate locales
# nano -w /etc/locale.gen
# locale-gen
8) Make a tarball with our custom ArchLinux
# exit
# umount ./newarch/proc
# umount ./newarch/dev
# umount ./newarch/sys
# tar -cvpf newarch.tar ./newarch
9) Copy this tarball to an USB pendrive or external harddisk
10) Boot your netbook with a Linux bootable USB stick (I used systemrescuecd, and remember to pick the x64 bit kernel at grub screen)
You can use any linux distribution with usb bootable options. I suppose ArchLinux works too
To install SystemRescueCD on an USB stick follow this tutorial -> SystemRescueCD on usb stick
Insert the usb stick on your netbook, switch on, hit F2 to enter BIOS menu, and choose to boot from USB as first option. Save and Exit.
You should be booting into SystemRescueCD without any problem.
After initialization you will end in a root prompt.
11) Let's partition the disk
You will find 3 partitions if this is your first time:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 488397167 229312696 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
My recomendation is to leave sda1 and sda2 intact, as they have the recovery information to restore Windows 7 Starter
You have plenty of space with sda3, about 230G.
So run fdisk/cfdisk and delete /dev/sda3
Now create a 100M partition for boot
Now create a Extended partition with all the space left
Now create a 1GB logical partition for swap
Now create a 10-15 GB logical partition for root system
And finally a logical partition for our home partition with all space left
Your partition table should look like this:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 29771775 102400 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 29771776 488397167 229312696 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 29773824 31821823 1024000 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 31823872 63281151 15728640 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 63283200 488397167 212556984 83 Linux
12) Create filesystems
I choosed ext2 for boot, and reiserfs for root and home partitions.
# mke2fs /dev/sda3
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda6
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda7
# mkswap /dev/sda5
13) Mount partitions
# mkdir arch
# mount /dev/sda6 arch
# mkdir arch/boot
# mount /dev/sda3 arch/boot
# mkdir arch/home
# mount /dev/sda7 arch/home
14) Copy our custom ArchLinux build on it
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy (for example)
# cd arch
# tar -xvpf /mnt/flopy/newarch.tar
15) Configure /etc/fstab
Mine is as follows:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda3 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda7 /home reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
16) Chroot in your new system
# mount -t proc proc ./proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./dev
# chroot ./ /bin/bash
17) Install grub
# grub-install
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to suit your needs
Mine looks like this:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
title Windows 7 Recovery
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
As you see, you can restore Windows 7 Starter from Grub.
18) Change root password
# passwd
19) Add a regular user account
# useradd -G video,audio,users -m username
# passwd username
20) You're done!
# exit
# cd ..
# umount ./arch/proc
# umount ./arch/dev
# umount ./arch/sys
# umount ./arch/boot
# umount ./arch/
# reboot
Remove the usb stick from your netbook.
If all went ok, you will be inside your new stable and updated ArchLinux system

Using acpid to achieve the following:
- Change screen brightness when operating in battery mode
- Power off when the power button is pressed
- Suspend when the lid is down
- Reduce CPU frequency speed to maximize battery usage
Remember that system suspend is only supported by ati free driver xf86-video-ati
1) Install acpid daemon and cpufrequtils
# pacman -S apcid cpufrequtils
2) edit acpid handler script
# nano -w /etc/acpi/handler.sh
Change the following section:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
AC)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo -n $minspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode start
00000001)
echo -n $maxspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode stop
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
for:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
ACAD)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 800Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 800Mhz
00000001)
echo 9 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1000Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1000Mhz
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Make sure you changed AC) for ACAD)
Now change this other section:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) logger "PowerButton pressed: $2" ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
with:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) poweroff ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Change:
button/lid)
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
for:
button/lid)
pm-suspend && /etc/rc.d/network restart
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
Network restart is used because wlan0 will disconnect from AP after some time. You can try using iwconfig wlan0 essid <ap> key <key> instead of the network script, but haven't tested it myself.
3) Start acpid and load modules
# modprobe powernow-k8
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start
Add "acpid" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to start on boot
Add "powernow-k8" to the modules sections on /etc/rc.conf to load at boot
Stopping system freezes due to ethernet driver
The only way people have found to avoid freezes is by blacklisting atheros kernel drivers.
To do it at boot just edit /etc/rc.conf and change the MODULES line as this:
MODULES=(!ath9k !atl1c)
Reboot and you're done, but remember to not press the Wifi key, because it can freeze your system.
Correctly starting wireless at boot
I've found that standard scripts wont load properly my wireless lan. It gave an error telling you to use the WIRELESS_TIMEOUT variable and such.
To solve this, edit /etc/rc.d/network script and change the wi_up function by adding a second iwconfig command like this:
wi_up()
eval iwcfg="\$wlan_${1}"
[[ ! $iwcfg ]] && return 0
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
[[ $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT ]] || WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=2
sleep $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
bssid=$(iwgetid $1 -ra)
It will do the trick and will start at boot correctly. This is not a solution but a fix.
Adjust Touchpad to disable false taps
What I did here is defining an area to be ignored. This area are 3 rectangles on top, left and right of the touchpad.
This means you can write and press space without having the cursor click out of the window and such.
# synclient AreaLeftEdge=150
# synclient AreaRightEdge=1300
# synclient AreaTopEdge=300
Also, add it to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "AreaTopEdge" "300"
Option "AreaLeftEdge" "150"
Option "AreaRightEdge" "1300"
EndSection
You can play with those values. They just work for me.

Firefox Slow Even When Offline on Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145

I have a 2gb RAM, 1.33 Ghz Intel Atom CPU Z520, and a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145. I have no viruses and no programs running in the background. I've installed and uninstalled various versions of Firefox (4, 11, 12) and even upon a fresh install before I edit preferences, bookmarks, or add-ons, the PROGRAM ITSELF is super slow. It isn't using any more RAM or processer speed that it should, however. What it does: Menus are slow to open, scrolling is jumpy, and switching from tab to tab takes like 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 8 works just fine, as do all other programs on the computer. Also, it works fine in Safe Mode. I can't find anything regarding this issue online. Help!

Thanks for reply. But, drivers are up to date. However, I found on this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers) that I might want to disable hardware acceleration. I did that through the options menu and Firefox is "usable," but still not what I'm used to on other computers and still not as fast as IE on the same computer. Since turning of the hardware acceleration helped, what else can I do along the same lines to speed it up more? I know a 1.33GHz processor is plenty fast enough to run only firefox by itself. The computer I'm on now (my non-netbook) runs at 700MHz when on batteries and has no performance issues. I hope I can get it because I don't want to use another browser! :(

Acer Aspire one will not boot up

When I boot up my Acer Aspire one I get a message that says:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc. contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
The only problem is that my net book has no disc drive. What am I to do??

From ABOUT:
Start
System Recovery Options.
There are several ways of starting System Recovery Options. See How To Access the System Recovery Options Menu in the link above for help.
Open Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options menu.
Note: The
Command Prompt available from the System Recovery Options menu is very similar to the one you may be familiar with within Windows. Also, the following procedure should work as described in both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
At the prompt, type the bootrec
command as shown below and then press Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
The bootrec command will search for Windows installations not included in the Boot Configuration Data and then ask you if you'd like to add one or more to it.
You should see one of the following messages at the
command line.
Option 1
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Option 2
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
If you see:
Option 1: Move on to Step 5. This result most likely means that Windows installation data in the BCD store exists but bootrec couldn't find any
additional installations of Windows on your computer to add to the BCD. That's fine, you'll just need to take a few extra steps to rebuild the BCD.
Option 2: Enter Y or Yes to the
Add installation to boot list? question, after which you should see a
The operation completed successfully message, followed by a blinking cursor at the prompt. Finish up with Step 10 toward the bottom of the page.
Since the BCD store exists and lists a Windows installation, you'll first have to "remove" it manually and then try to rebuild it again.
At the prompt, execute the bcdedit command as shown and then press Enter:
bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup
The bcdedit command is used here to export the BCD store as a file: bcdbackup. There's no need to specify a
file extension.
The command should return the following on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning the BCD export worked as expected.
At this point, you need to adjust several
file attributes for the BCD store so you can manipulate it.
At the prompt, execute the attrib command exactly like this:
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
What you just did with the attrib command was remove the
hidden, read-only, and
system attributes from the file
bcd. Those attributes restricted the actions you could take on the file. Now that they're gone, you can manipulate the file more freely - specifically, rename it.
To rename the BCD store, execute the ren command as shown:
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Now that the BCD store is renamed, you should now be able to successfully rebuild it, as you tried to do in Step 3.
Note: You could delete the BCD file entirely since you're about to create a new one. However, renaming the existing BCD accomplishes the same thing since it's now unavailable to Windows, plus provides you yet another layer of backup, in
addition to the export you did in Step 5, if you decide to undo your actions.
Try rebuilding the BCD again by executing the following, followed by Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
which should produce this in the Command Prompt window:
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
meaning that the BCD store rebuild is progressing as expected.
At the Add installation to boot list? question, type Enter Y or
Yes, followed by the Enter key.
You should see this on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning that the BCD rebuild is complete.
Restart your computer.
Assuming that an issue with the BCD store was the only problem, Windows should start as expected.
If not, continue to troubleshoot whatever specific issue you're seeing that's preventing Windows from booting normally.
Important: Depending on how you started System Recovery Options, you may need to remove a disc or
flash drive before restarting.

Wireless with acer aspire one linux linpus

hi everyone, have just had replacement hh3 which is connecting ok wireless to my laptop, but my wife has little acer aspire one which used to connect ok but now wont, it does pick up the fon sometimes but i would like it how it was and connecting directly to the hub. it does connect ok using a cable but not wireless. any help or suggestions please.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would expect if you deleted all the existing wifi connections and then reboot. look for wireless connections available then select your ssid then connect - it will ask for key/password then enter then connect. it would normally save infor but I am not a linux user - works in windows
