My Windows 2000 machine has trouble booting up after instaling PCI-6503 card

After I installed the card in my Dell Desktop has trouble booting up. I have to pull the power cable out and then reconnect for it to come up.

Hello;
The best way to go about that is to completely uninstall the NI-DAQ driver you have installed on that machine, turn the computer of and remove the board from it.
You then reintall NI-DAQ, and put the board back. If the same behavior shows, the best bet is to search for some other peace of Software/Hardware currently installed on the machine that might be conflictant with NI-DAQ.

Trouble booting CentOS after installing 10g XE

After tackled with XE on Window XP and 10g DS, I moved on to Linux. I installed CentOS 4.2, and everything seemed to work fine. Then I installed 10g XE with Start XE when CentOS boots up. Everything seemed to be fine, and I was able to login through the XE home page as system. Then I turned off the computer and went to sleep. Next day when I started the computer, my CentOS wouldn't boot. It stopped after:
Checking SWAP Spaces [OK]
The cursor was blinking...forever! The sad thing was I had to switched the power off to stop everything. I am a newbie to Linux. Did I miss something? Somebody help please?!

This doesn't really mean there is a problem with the swap space. When linux startup process hangs at enabling swap space means next step (database startup) is hanging. It is just about to open the graphical console, but it freezes at this point because it is not able to startup oracle.
When installing, did you perform the execution of '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database?
You can still enter into your linux environment, as by now the networking settings are already active. So open a session by means of ssh or telnet if available and verify this startup phase. Just as a workaround, look for the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe file that was created by the XE installation. Rename it and set just an empty file instead, so you are able to open your console. Once fixed, rename it back to its original name.
In case of boot problems, use your rescue disk, mount your root file system and perform the outlined steps.

Windows XP SP2 freezes and then has trouble booting up

I've got a recent problem with my PC freezing while in use. All of a sudden it freezes with no error messages. The only resolution is to reboot the PC; however, most times the PC has trouble booting up after that. Usually at some point before it boots up I'll get a CMS checksum error, hit the F1 key to continue and Windows will load up. I'll have to restart it multiple times before I can get it to boot or I have to unplug the PC, let it sit overnight and then it tends to boot up with no problems the next morning.
I did notice that the fan to the PSU isn't running all the time. Should it be? I would have thought so, but don't know for sure.
I haven't tried reloading Windows over the current installation. I have an original Win XP disk ()non-SP2). This is a Windows CD, not a restore CD. I've updated to SP2. Will it be OK to reinstall over it with an older version of XP? I guess I can just not replace any newer files if it asks?
Thanks for any feedback.

Bosskiller, I just know the basics of hardware installation and such. I can put them together, but don't have much knowledge in diagnostics. The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package and said everything checked out OK and that it was most likely a mobo or processor going bad.
I see you linked to an earlier post you made. However, if the memory checked out OK and it's run fine for the last 6 months without any problems, would it do any good to run another memory check on it?
"Bosskiller, I just know the basics of hardware installation and such. I can put them together, but don't have much knowledge in diagnostics. The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package and said everything checked out OK and that it was most likely a mobo or processor going bad."
suggest you to ignore "The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package" and to test it personally.
get memtest http://www.memtest.org/download/1.70/memtest86+-1.70.floppy.zip
extract files and make diskette bootable from installer. then reboot PC and boot from floppy, select test n5 only from there and leave it to test over 20times ensure no errors will come... step by step with memtest: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103598.msg760534#msg760534
other way is to try to install XP with each memory sticks separately until works.. leave only one stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket and have a try to install OS again, if no go remove memory and replace it with other one. and retry.
or take PC to some computer repair shop to diagnose.

Notification to Windows 2000 machine

Does anyone know of a way to post a windows popup notification from a Solaris box to a windows 2000 machine?

I hope you have a backup plan not only for your data but for that hardware when it decides to fail!
Any suggestions as to how we can assign a static IP to the old machine?
Use AirPort Utility to put the Express into "manual setup" mode. Select the Internet panel, then the DHCP tab. Add the Windows box to the "DHCP Reservations" at near the bottom. I'd use the MAC address feature. If you have trouble identifying that piece of information, you might find it in the "DHCP Clients" table under the menu item Base Station -> Logs and Statistics.

How do i get Windows 2000 off the VPC 5 disc to install with VP 7

VPC 5 With windows 2000 upgraded to VPC 6 ran great. But hey I thought lets upgrade so I bought VPC 7 Stand-alone, installed XP PRO and it is soooooo
Sloooow. I want to get Windows 2000 off the VPC 5 disc to install on VPC 7 to see if there is a difference. Yeah we got 1.5 gigs of Ram and a Dual processor
Machine. Maybe something else is going on but I cant figure what. So How do I get Windows 2000 off that VPC 5 disc???

Yep tried that. No go but thanks.
Some of the previous versions of the VPC CDs
(unfortunately, I can't remember which) were hybrids
and doubled as not only the VPC for Mac installer CD
but also the Windows OS installer CD. You might try
creating a new virtual PC and then when asked for a
Windows installer disk, insert and capture your VPC 5
disk. I have no idea if this will work for you.
Later versions of VPC came with the Windows OS
pre-installed on VPC disk images and not with a
Windows installer. If your version has a disk image,
copy it from your version 5.0 CD and try opening that
in VPC 7.0. You should see a conversion process.
Hope this helps! bill

has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS

Hi Mofimac,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is only starting up to a blank gray or white screen after updating OS X, you can find some useful troubleshooting steps in this article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
I recommend going through these first three sections first:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Perform a Safe Boot
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM

New imaged machines fail to complete reboot after install

New imaged machines fail to complete reboot after install of 10.4.9 image
Running off both 10.4.9 Server and a 10.3.9 Server machines imaged from the same disk image and different disk images fail to reboot after imaging is complete. All machines go through various stages of reboot some initial most all the way to waiting for finder to boot up on desktop. Nothing is wrong with the items, installed the entire image is installed if you looking at the machines via firewire. All .nbi sets were created under 10.3.9 (to avoid 10.4.9 problems) all disk images with Disk Utility all .nbi with 10.3.9 Network Image utility.
Anyone any clues been driving me nuts for about a week and I have 500 ibooks to image.
Also the reference machines for the images are same ibooks that will be imaged, so its the same platform.
various Mac OS X (10.3.9)

All is the same for me except I used a 10.4.9 server only to create the disk image using Disk utility, and all other work ison a 10.3.9 server. Greay or blue screen on reboot otherwise machines look fine.
I am having this same issue....
Order of events as follows...
Build image on source mac (10.4.9)
Create image on server for netinstall from source mac
(10.4.9)
Set Netinstall image on server via netboot (10.4.9)
Install Netinstall image on target mac via netboot on
server (10.4.9)
Installs fine and says successful.....Apon reboot all
i get is the grey screen with the apple and spinning
icon....Sits there and doesn't change....
On further inspection I notice that there are things
that are missing off target mac
very strange....Sounds like a broken System Image

Anyone have trouble with IPad3 after installing OS6.1.3? keeps crashing

Anyone having trouble with iPad3 after installing OS6.1.3? Mine keeps crashing.

Mine seems to be just fine.
Try a reset,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

System is very fragile and has trouble booting. Hard Drive Problem?

Im having a problem with my Intel iMac which I can't solve and it really annoying me. As of lately my mac has been crashing, a lot. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my 2008 24" iMac.
In the order that I remember them happening, here are the symptoms:
1. Applications would not start, from the dock to from spotlight.
2. Pressing OptionCommandEscape showed no applications in the Force Quit dialogue.
3. Rebooting solved the problems for a while.
4. Starting the Disk Utility in OS X will trigger 1.
5. My fiancees account will not log in, it either freezes on the wallpaper or kicks me back to the login screen. Making the keyboard not work to type in my password on my account.
6. Rebooting the machine now often results in booting to a folder with a ? (question mark) on it.
7. Most recently I lost the drive completely and could not boot into anything.
Here is what i have done to try fix it.
A. I have ran the repair disk in disk utility by booting from the install CD. However now (see 7.) I cannot even see the drive in the utility to try again.
B. I booted with Command + s to enable the console and typed /sbin/fsck -sy a few times
C. Holding Option while booting will NOT show my HDD only the CD
D. I reset the PRAM by holding CommandOption+PR during boot. This doesnt seem to have done anything.
E. to resolve 7. I pulled the power cord out for 30 mins. Then it booted.... weird
The machine overall feels very fragile and I cannot do anything with it really and its amazing if it even boots up. What are my options? The only thing I have not tried is a full reinstall of OS X. However it feels like more of a hardware issue, will this fix it? I'm not sure.
Thank you for looking and any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers.
Andrew

First, make sure your user data is backed up.
Instead of just unplugging it, use the reset SMC procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
which is unplugging the iMac and reconnecting using a precise procedure. You should disconnect ALL cables when you do this. If you have been connecting the power cord to a power strip, connect it directly to a wall outlet for this test. Power up with nothing connected, except the power cord. If it does start up from the hard drive, connect only your keyboard/mouse and use it that way, doing the things that caused problems. Any improvement?
If not, the next thing you should try, since you have already done good troubleshooting, is probably to erase the hard drive and reinstall the software. There is a way to do this and give the hard drive a good test, so you can post back if you want more info.

Macbook late '08 freezing up, has trouble booting after iLife install.

A couple of days ago I installed iLife '11 on my Macbook and went to run the updates that the App Store was telling me were available, including the Mountain Lion 10.8.4 update. I shut the lid of my computer while they were downloading, without thinking and when I opened it again, the screen was dark, but the computer was on. I forced a shutdown and went to reboot but got stuck at the grey Apple logo and timer wheel. I zapped the PRAM and it booted right up but it told me that I needed to restart to install the updates. I did so and had trouble booting again. I had to do the PRAM thing a couple more times to get it to boot but when it did, the only update that installed was GarageBand. I ran it until all of the updates had downloaded and it asked me to restart. Everything went smoothly this time but when I logged back in the OS X 10.8.4 update was sitting there waiting to be installed again. I reset to install twice more but it never installed. Now whenever I'm running an application it will freeze up after a time, and when I go to quit the application the whole computer freezes, forcing me to force shutdown but putting me back to where it freezes on boot up. Freezes when I try to boot into safe mode or recovery mode often as well. I can manage to get in every once in awhile, after zapping the PRAM two or three times, but even that is starting to freeze too. Any one know what's going on? I ran iAntiVirus and it found nothing, I'm working on uninstalling iLife to see if that helps too.
I'm running Mountain Lion on a brand new Toshiba 1tb external drive connected to a Late 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook that I bought off my friend's dad back in March. No internal drive because the one that was in it failed in May.

Let me start by saying do you know how easy it is to replace the hard drive in that MacBook? http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1278+Hard+Drive+Replacement/8 16/1
First thought is to dump the anti virus software. It sounds to me as though your installation of OS X is hosed due to an incomplete update attempt. You need to repair the hard drive using Disk Utility and reinstall Mountian Lion completely, not just the update to 10.8.4.

Trouble with 10g after Installing Grid Control

Main problem: after installing Grid Control and rebooting, I can no longer access my databases.
I have 10g installed on a fairly decent Windows XP machine. It was running okay, but I had two Oracle database instance processes running at 200mb of RAM each (of a total of 1 GB of RAM), so it was a bit bogged down, as is to be expected when running Oracle as a server on Windows.
I then installed Grid Control, which seemed to go okay, and another database as well. But once the install completed, and I gained access to the Grid Control version of the OEM for the first time, that's when things got wacky. Connecting to any OEM instance started taking anywhere from 2-10 minutes, everything was bogged down considerably, etc. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting, but now things are worse. OEM is timing out and not finding servers, listener is timing out, etc. I've tried manipulating a few things in Net Manager (I noticed that my LISTENER section didn't seem to contain any data at all, and my databases weren't listed in there either) with no result.
I've also had trouble with "host credentials" and being able to administer the databases within the OEM, even after implementing a fix I had found to add my user name to a "log on as batch job" local security policy.
Finally, I noticed that after installing Grid Control, when I run "sqlplus", I now see "Oracle91 Enterprise Edition" instead of the "Oracle10g" it used to show (and I never had anything but 10g installed on this machine!).
Here's what happens when I try to access my dBs:
-When I try to launch the OEM connected to any of the 3 databases I created (which were previsouly running), the browser just times out with "page cannot be displayed".
-When I run "emctl start <ANYTHING>" I get file/path not found errors, and a file path with both forward and backward slashes (starting after the "agent" directory):
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent/<...etc.>
-When I try to test a connection to a service in Net Manager, I get this error:
ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
I had to manually add my listener info and databases info(under Service Naming) in Net Manager, but everything appeared fine in Oracle Directory Manager (unfortunately, that doesn't help much, since this is just a general info tool).
I am nothing near a DBA and my knowledge is limited, so I apologize for not being more consise, but I'd be glad to elaborate if someone could tell me what they need to know.
Thank you,
John

Yes; thank you both. Although I had 1 GB physical and 1.5 GB virtual memory configured, running Grid Control seemed to completely kill all available resources.
I have removed GC and its related database and applications, and I can again conncet to my databases via Database Control. Thank you.
By the way, another issue has arisen, seemingly in the aftermath of installing GC: my OEM Database Control instances now time out after about 60 seconds, logging me out each and every time. I have cookies enabled, but this doesn't seem to be the trouble. Is there a Web setting somewhere that will kick users out of the instance at timed intervals?
