My NB100 will not hibernate any longer

Hi!
My new brand NB100 was working OK for a few days, but suddenly it refuses to hibernate. An error message is displayed saying (more or less) "The 101/102 keys keyboard controller or the natural MS HID controller are not allowing the unit to hibernate".
I have tried deleting both controllers but they are reloaded automatically after restart.
I use an external USB Logitech deluxe 250 keyboard and mouse.I have not installed any driver for them (it was not necessary)
The problem remains even if I do not connect both devices.
The OS is windows XP home (the original that came with the netbook)
Any help, please?
Thank you.

Great, AKUMA!
Your suggestion did the trick. Thank you very much indeed.
I have spent too many hours visiting forums and testing any idea I could find there (it seems to be quite a common problem). Nothing worked. I also consulted MS knowledge base but did not find the article you indicate. I suspected SP3 but did not know how to uninstall it (in case it was possible). Fortunately I did not.
In the meantime, as I was supposing I had to reinstall WinXP sooner or later (and format the HD), I modified the partitions, so that my data could stay safe in a different partition. It was very simple and free. So I want to share how I did it:
1. I downloaded the free Easus partition manager personal 1.6.4 from cnet downloads It is also here: http://www.partition-tool.com/.
I defragmented the HD (passed the window defragmenter tool four times until it could not improve the HD fragmentation any more),
3. Made a back up of all personal data files on a Sandisk pendrive 8GB (now they sell for about 10 Euro)
4. Using the Easus P.M, I reduced the initial 160 GB "C" partition to 60 GB
5. With Easus P.M I made a new logical partition on the unallocated space left (now it is unit "D")
6. I moved the data files to this new partition.
I hope this could be useful for beginners here. I did not know how to do this when I first received the netbook with just one partition so I stared loading it with programs and data. I recommend not to repeat my mistake and make a different partiton for data (and eventually, programs) before the HD is too loaded or you are forced to format "C" and lose everything.....
Thank you all for all the help received.

Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem. It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista. We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work. We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch. Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
Any help out there?
Thanks, Dean

What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

ALT Startup will not work any longer, PRAM reset will not work any longer.

Hi folks,
I just bought and plugged in my Mac Pro to a new Belkin battery back up unit yesterday, and now when I try to restart using the ALT key it will not work, it starts up to my default drive only. When I try to reset the PRAM, using the option-command P-R keys it also boots to the default drive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Troubleshooting is sortof voodoo, if you do "a" and get response "b" then don't do it!
There have been other problems, USB hub, cable, etc.
OS X doesn't "need" PowerChute which also hasn't been updated in two years and can cause problems. APC works. APC's software for Windows is excellent though. Shame.
As for why... I'll leave that for philosophy class.
Wired keyboard? check. 1000VA or above? check. Any UPS also can have a strong EMF field around it that I guess could affect other electronics (cell phones etc and AC adapters have been known to cause problems and RFI).

Several sites will not respond any longer when I type or click on them. I have been using Firefox for years and all of a sudden, nothing.

I have been using Firefox for many years now and have been going to several sites on Firefox. Now, after an update around two days ago, I can't do anything with the sites. The cursor stays an arrow, and doesn't click anything. It's like a blank page with print on it.
I've tried almost everything, but to no avail. It's too much to copy and paste below.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.
Also, http://tesnexus.com is another site, plus a few others, besides google.com.

Hi Papajack55,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Updater seemed to fail. Firefox will not load any longer. Tried uninstalling, but cannot successfully download Firefox

Have used Firefox for several years. Latest update came automatically. First I got message that updater failed. Now Firefox refuses to load. I uninstalled and tried to download again. Still failure.

* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

T430S Will NOT Hibernate

I have a less than year old T430s running 64bit Win 7 Pro. I have replaced the Hard Disk with a 512 GB SSD and added a 256 PCI-e SSD as well. The computer runs very well. No CD/DVD. Computer has 16GB of memory. I am very happy with speed of operation. However....
The machine will not hibernate!! I know this has worked in the past and do NOT understand the origin of the problem. If the Fn+F4 is used OR when Hibernate is selected from the start menu, the screen darkens and the HD light gets going, but any motion of the mouse or keys immediately returns the screen. Even if left alone, the power light and volume buttons stay lit indicating the unit is definitely not in hibernation. I have gone thru the power management setup in the Lenovo app and from the control panel to be certain hibernate is selected.
I have tried deleting the hibernate file, gone into the Device Manager and gone into Device Manager and one by one prevented the devices with a Power Management tab from waking the computer...still no luck Then I have tried t shutdown processes in Task Manager to see if there is some issue there. Of course this latter activity is hit-or-miss.
Any ideas?

Hi acatalano
Have you update your T430s BIOS and driver with System Update?
By the way, since SSD starts up fast enough, why do you need Hibernate? and the more memory you have, the larger the Hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) will be, and it will take much longer just to hibernate.
In order to disable Hibernate and get back your 10GB+ of storage space, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > right-click Command Prompt, Run as Administrator. Then type powercfg -h off.
By default, Power Manager will hibernate your ThinkPad when it reaches Critical low battery level, to prevent this from happen, change the Action from Hibernate to Sleep.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes 11.1.4 it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3). Never had any problems syncing until this latest version of i Tunes.Manual sync is "grayed out", any ideas ? Thanks

I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes, it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3) and therefore am unable to sync any music from my i Tunes to the i Pods. I've tried all the obvious things like resarting the PC as well as the i Pods tried different patch cables but the i Tunes software will no longer recognize my i Pods. I have automatic sync selected, but I even tried to manually sync by clicking on devices under File but the sync icon is "grayed" out. When I look under Preferences and click on devices the serial numbers of my i Pods appear and are correct but again will not recognize the i Pod when plugged in to the PC. Bottom line I'm dead in the water....appreciate any suggestions....thanks

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

Itunes on W8 will not play any files after upgrade to 11.0.4.4

After following the prompt and updating Itunes on Windows 8 to version 11.0.4.4 on 6 June, Itunes no longer plays any audio or video files from my library. Pick a file and Itunes shows that it is playing (Pause button only) however nothing happens. The file simply does not play. Windows Media Player will not open any files. VLC will play flash video files but with no sound. Video played in IE10 seems to play ok including sound. Anyone have any suggestions. I can uninstall but figure I'll get teh same version when I re-install. Everything worked fine prior to installing this upgrade.

Resolved by running W8 System Restore to a point prior to the last Itunes update. Now back on the previous version of Itunes. Windows Media Player working correctly with all file types. Itunes working correctly also. I'm quite happy not to re-apply any updates from Apple for a while.

Mac Mini 2.53 C2 Duo will not take any disc

Hi all here is my problem… I have a Mac Mini C2 Duo 2.53 that will not take any disc DVD or CD when it is turned on. If I turn it of and put a DVD or CD in the slot it will load on boot and play and read. If I eject the disc and load a new disc with in 5 seconds it will load a new disc if I wait longer than 5 seconds I can't load any form of disc I have to turn off the Mac.
I have Installed 2 different BD drives and 2 different DVD drives all with the same result. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Patrick

I have installed now 6 different drives all new… all do the same thing I could cry have reset the SMC a few times no luck. The drives work fine in a different Mac Mini just not in this one. Is weird that they all work when the Mini is booting but not afterwards. I don't want an external drive as this defeats me buying an older Mini with internal drive.

ATV2 - Will not show any video w/o reboot

I have 2 Apple TV devices (both are 2nd generation).
One of them is fine. But the other one will not show a signal after about a day of no use. I have to unplug the power, then plug it back in to get a signal out of it.
The other day, I watched the LED light as I was trying to turn it on. It just flashes when I press the power button on the remote, so it is indeed getting my remote commands. After I try to turn it on about 5-7 times, the LED stays lit. But the TV still says "no signal". If I unplug it from the power, then plug it back in, only then it comes back up and seems to work ok. But if we don't use it again for about a day, when we come back to it.. we get the same thing and it needs to be unplugged again and plugged back in (power).
I tried to reset to factory settings, but that didn't help.
This started happening after the 4.2 update (I think that was about 3 updates ago).
Any ideas I can try?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
As I see this I mostly suspect one of three reasons
• iMovie Event's and or iMovie Project's folders have/has been moved/altered on DeskTop/Finder - DON'T - but try to move everything back exactly where it was
• iMovie pref. file got corrupted (very easily done by e.g. Panic/Force halt's) - trash it when iMovie is NOT running
• Material used in Movie Project is located on device not accessibly any longer. E.g. one used audio from Audio-CD then ejected the CD. iMovie (Project's) Don't do ANY copy of the used material - only point's to where it found it and if external hard disks, Audio-CDs etc are disconnected then the iMovie Project get's lost and it has no function to try to find it (at all).

My mouse will not open any files or folders

My mouse will not open any files or folders. I've had to do a hard reboot but nothing changes. The mouse will scroll across the screen but it will not left or right click on anything on my desktop

Hmmm, does the right button also not work?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
