My HP Pavilion 775C with Windows XP 32 bit SP3 has begun to startup in Windows Recovery Mode.

I have had many problems with my Pavilion a775c desktop, running XP 32 Bit with SP3 and 2.5 G Ram.  I was receiving a Fatal Error message 1327 that Drive M did not exist.  I did a selective startup eliminating the programs I thought were causing this but that did not help.  Then I cleaned away all the files for any HP printer, and for my current printer, an  Officejet j3680 All-in-One, and then reinstalled it.  That took care of the fatal error message but I began to get a message that my DRive D was out of memory.  I deleted some regular files that were previously stored on that drive before I increased the memory on my Drive C but I continued to receive that message.  I cleaned the registry with Registry Mechanic and then deleted files I though would not harm the computer and I no longer get the Drive D low on memory message but now the computer starts up each time in recovery mode and If I'm not there to select the Windows XP option it goes to a dos screen but nothing ever happens from there.   I'm not that familiar with DOS and don't know anything except to type EXIT which I did and the computer would reboot giving my an opportunity to select Windows XP.  Now, however, it won't allow me to type EXIT.  I must instead hit enter and then it goes to the screen that allows me to select the Windows environment.  I really don't want to have to do this each time I start up.  Can anyone help?

I am not that familiar anymore with troubleshooting Windows XP, but way back in the day I seem to recall that the Windows recovery console would be used to fix issues like the one you're describing. It sounds like you may have a corrupted boot sector if it keeps going into the windows recovery mode.  The solution could be as simple as using the last known good configuration or possibly doing a system restore.  You may want to try this link on Technet that explains the recovery console and the tools available in it like fixmbr..

  • How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

    Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
    The blue function keys currently do not work.
    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
    Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.

    Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

  • HP Advisor stops working on my Pavilion p6330f with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system

    My computer is a  Pavilion p6330f  with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system.  It bothers me when I get error messages and can't seem to correct the problem.  After loging onto my computer  a message comes on that the HP Advisor stopped working. When I attempt to load the HP Advisor it gives me the same message and does not come up. 

    HP Advisor-one of the first things I uninstall, flaky software.
    Have you tried the update for Advisor from your support & drivers page?

  • Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

    I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

    Hello marinegf.  I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
    What is the product number for your notebook?  There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software.  This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
    Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
    The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter.  Here is a link to the utility.
    If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall.  I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
    Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
    Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
    Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
    I'll keep an eye out for your reply.  I hope you have a great day!

  • My HP Pavilion a6357c with Windows Vista 32-bit freezes until the system warms up

    Any time I start the computer up when it hasn't been used, the system fails to boot.  It will freeze up in the process where I have to hold the "ON" button down to shut it down and then attempt to reboot.  the system will freeze just about anywhere in the process.  Sometimes I get to log in with my user name, and then the screen will freeze up.  Sometimes trigger a blue screen, sometimes a black screen and then perform a hard disc diagnostic routine.  Once whatever component warms up, the system works great.

  • Install Captivate 4 on Windows 7 64-bit machine with Windows XP mode?

    Hi,
    I have been searching the web to find out the best way/place in which to load Captivate 4 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Seems some people have issues with recording, others don't. I have Windows XP mode on my machine.
    My question is... what's the best way to load Captivate 4 on Windows 7 - should I install to Windows 7 and see how it goes. Or should I install under Windows XP mode?
    Thank you!

    Try running Cp4 in WinXp compatibility mode on Win7.  Also make sure
    you're set to Run as Administrator.
    I run Cp4 on Win7 without issues.  But other users report similar problems
    to yourself.  In the end, it may or may not work for you because Adobe has
    never claimed Cp4 was compatible with Vista or Win7 64bit.

  • HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

    Troubleshooting
    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

  • HP pavilion dv6000 with windows 7 64 bit has no sound after disassembl​ed.

    Hello there,
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 and after i disassembled and reassembled it to clean the fan, the lap top has no sound. In the device manager an error on ''PCI bus9, Device 9, function 2 & 3'' was appeared but after i installed new drivers the errors was fixed and it was written that the device was working properly. but unfortunately the device is not working properly because i stills have no sound. I also disassembled and reassembled for second time to find out if the problem was minor like an unplugged cable but everything was completely fine. Operation system: Windows 7 64 bit.  Can someone please tell me what to do?

  • HP Pavilion a1210n with Windows Vista 32bit. looking for audio drivers. Can you point me to a link?

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion a1210n running Windows Vista 32bit. I'm missing the audio drivers and can't seem to find them. Can you point me to a link for these drivers?
    Thanks, It's much appricieated!

    I found this link but it doesn't talk about audio drivers in the multimedia package. Am I missing something? Does Vista need to have all OS updates installed for this to work?
    Thanks again!

  • Export my data with windows safe mode

    i have problems with windows server 2003 st that i can open windows in safe mode only ,
    i want to export my data in that case !!!
    Any Help ...

    That's a Windows, not an Oracle problem. Safe mode is only suitable for OS maintenance tasks, not for regular working. Many services don't run, dlls are not loaded. Solve your basic problem, then start Oracle again.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
