Portege M800 - System hangs after fingerprint login

I just got my Portege M800 weeks ago and frankly speaking, this model has been giving me much trouble. Earlier it is the heat problem at the palm rest and there is no solution to it.
Now I am facing another issue with the fingerprint login. I am running on WinXP. I set the system to be locked after 5 minutes idle. So normally after 5 minutes idle, the system will require me to scan my fingerprint to unlock the Windows. But there are times that, after scanning my fingerprint and successfully matched, the screen will just be blank (only showing the desktop wallpaper). No desktop icons, no windows task bar and nothing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del bring up nothing and no response even any key press. I tried to bring the system to hibernate by press the power button once also bring no response.
So I finally have to press and hold the power button to hard-reset the laptop.
Anybody can help or give any clue what was happening? Thanks!

I found the Fingerprint software on the Toshiba European driver page.
At this time you can find a 7.10.1.2 version for Vista 32bit and Win XP
Check this!

  • Oracle AS control hangs after user login - AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    We are engaged with a customer who deploys OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2 on AIX 5.3. After installation, AS control hangs after user logins. This issue is addressed in release note and metalink doc365725.1. We followed the guide in metalink to do the modification and we can access AS control successfully after that. However, due to some other reasons, we restart the AIX, and after that AS control hangs again. This is quite strange. Does anyone meet with this symptom before? How can we resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sindhiya V.

    Thanks everyone for the response and help.
    I completed the task yesterday with the permission method. However, I think I found the solution after completion. The trick lies at the oraInst.loc file. It lies at /etc directory for my case (AIX 5.3).
    If you do a opatch lsinventory, it shows you the Central Inventory location and the location of orainst.loc. For my case, it is pointing to /oracle/DE1/920_64/inventory. Therefore, even though I am logging in as oraqa1 with all env and oracle settings correct, it still points to DE1 inventory.
    I think modifying the Central inventory location in oraInst.loc will solve this problem.

  • Lion 10.7.1 system hangs after reboot

    Strange, I have just updated to 10.7.1 (via SW update) on my Macbook Pro and now the system does not boot. It restarted and now hangs since minutes with the spinning wheel on a grey screen. Anyone experienced this, too? Any solutions?
    Thanks a lot.

    Regarding the occasional system hang on reboot people are experiencing. I have two troubleshooting suggestions to help you get to the login screen, but aren't solutions to the problem of whatever is causing the system hang. 1) I find my hangs are usually solved by removing my USB devices from the 2 USB ports (via USB hubs) and rebooting. 2) Furthermore, if I boot into verbose mode (holding command+v right before the chime) (sometimes after removing the USB devices, sometimes not), that usually helps the boot process along, either due to just chance (I don't know why booting into verbose mode would help it surmount the initial hang, but it seems to work sometimes) or some other reason.
    Good luck.
    Yeah that better be one big fat good luck there, because that advice is not going to help anyone that is having this problem. Not one little bit. Some kind of magic that Verbose Mode casts will fix it? Uh, no. That would be a figment of your over-eager imagination, Verbose Mode doesn't change anythig. Oh and by the way, in order to get to this stage in the probelm, you would have had to use verbose mode to get the error message.  I can only assume that you sir are the real troll here, because our friend above asked a question that is worth merit and consideration, given the compatibility disaster that Apple has on their hands. To call it a disaster is not in the least bit an exaggeration.
    We're going to have to ignore This is not an "occassional system hang", this is a serious problem affecting my MacBook Pro 17" and my iMac 27"., and it occured on both of them for me after installing Lion Server.

  • PPC G5 system hangs after Leopard Install

    Well I had been monitoring things with the new OSx for awhile before installing. I had upgraded my Macbook Pro (Intel first Gen model) and my newer Intel MacMini with no issues. So after using both of these machines for quite awhile, and with the release of 10.5.2, I decided to upgrade my PPC G5 from Tiger to Leopard.
    Everything seemed to go fine. I installed all possible updates and have used several apps with no problems, such as Adobe PS and Dreamweaver, etc. But now I am starting to notice a serious problem.
    Every time my system either goes into Screensaver mode or sleep, when I try and bring it back it is frozen. All I get is the beachball and the only thing to do is a hard shut down with the power button. My system never did anything like this under Tiger.
    Has anyone experienced a system hang like this?

    Do you have any external drives (especially Maxtor or Maxtor OneTouch Drives)?
    I know on Tiger I had this same problem and it turned out that there was a problem between the Mac's Firewire drivers and Maxtor OneTouch drives. Maxtor had a patch that fixed the problem on Tiger, but I'm not sure if the patch is needed also for Leopard. Not sure if Maxtor drive support is continuing since Seagate bought them.
    I'm currently having a problem on Leopard with hangs (not specifically the same as yours). I'm wondering if it is again a problem with compatibility between Leopard and the Maxtor drives.

  • System Hangs after adding Storage :(

    First dont jump on me for mentioning a 4800 this is storage related.
    Solaris 8
    Brocade 3850(SUN Branded)
    SUN Samfs(4.2.8, running 5 months)
    EMC Clarion(Old existing and always seen in config)
    Infortend FC-SATA array(Newly added)
    I have added some FC-SATA drives to my 4800s. The process of adding these drives was done by a 'cfgadm -c configure <Controller #>'. Following this the disks are seen, striped and shared with SAMFS. All is good at this point.
    During reboot the systems hangs just after the boot message of "System is coming up". I think it is at the point of finding mount points and doing an 'fsck', but the system never completes(+45 minutes).
    When I drop back to the original configuration prior to the 'cfgadm' the system then boots just fine, but I then need to do 'cfgadm -c .....' to see the drives and mount my SAMFS partitions.
    Any ideas?

    SimonM
    The disks can be seen when I attach the storage with a 'cfgadm -c configure <controller #>' and the system up and running. After dynamicly attaching the storage I can create filesystems, use SAMFS to share the filesystem out, and all is good across all machines.
    I only have an issue later in life when a reboot(hate for a panic) occurs. Some sunsolve/goggle'ing found some old document that were very dated that pointed to the path_to_inst and fiber not playing well.
    I am not 100% sure that the system has hit the mount/fsck processes or not but it is the next sequence in the boot process. I know it is storage/config related because (1) adding the new disks is the only thing that changed on the system, (2) returning the OS back to its original configuration before the disks being added allows everything to boot fine. I was just looking for some pointer of where to begin troubleshooting.
    I will keep everyone updated. Like I said I only get a couple of hours every month if I am lucky.

  • System hangs after launching P2P

    Hi,
    I have just installed a K7N2 Delta MB with a 2500+ Athlon and a 3200 DDR (PQI) of 512 Mo. My OS is WinXP SP1.
    Everything works very fine until I load a P2P (emule).
    I had not this problem with my defunct Elite MB (with a 1800 Athlon and a 2100 DDR).
    I have an ADSL connection via an ECI USB modem.
    WinXP and the MB Bios and drivers are updated (using Win update and MSI Live monitor). I have also updated the VIA chipsets with VIAHyperion4in1446vp6 and updated the NVidia drivers/programs SINCE the USB host controller is an NVIDIA one (therefore the VIA USB 1.1 cannot be installed)
    I have uninstalled/re-installed all my USB ports and also closed the LPT port.
    The ADSL modem is connected to an hub while I have connected my optical mouse to a separate USB port (since MSI writes that the mouse consumes a lot of energy).
    I have aloso enabled the USB in the Bios and even the KB USB whereas I do not have an USB KB (I had the same problem when the KB USB was not enabled).
    The BIOS indicates an 100 FSB.
    What should I do?
    Thank you in advance.
    (pardon my approximate English and technical languages).

    Sharp,
    I have re-installed WinXP, installed the Nvidia updates (and the MSI and Win XP ones) and installed a more recent and more efficient ADSL connection driver.
    However, eMule hangs after less than 1 minute with a 166 mHz as well as with a 133 mHz FSB (this means: I cannot close it with the Task Manager and I am obliged to re-boot WinXP.
    Moreover, the CPU temperature climbs quickly to 60°C at 166 mHz.
    I know that I could solve the temperature problem by installing a new fan. However, I am not certain that this would solve the hanging one (although one may think that it's the temperature that leads to the hanging.
    I have discovered in the eMule forum that other people with other configurations encounter the same difficulties as me. Therefore, their solutions will probably not be found on this site.
    Thank you for your availability.

  • System hangs after leaving any window manager rebuild xorg?

    Just did a full system upgrade and everything is working fine except when I leave ANY window manager like fluxbox or gnome, the systems hangs and will not drop back to console, the screen just goes black with a white horizontal line about the size of a cursor at the top of the screen. I also start my window managers from the console with startx. Anyone else had this problem? And now X is just freezing at random, very random and not all that often. Should i just rebuild Xorg?

    This is weird. It's like it shuts down different functions one by one like the scroll, mouse, keyboard and other stuff that is related to gnome. It doesn't freeze, it just shuts down some functions that make it impossible to use desktop environment and now I've tried to turn off Compiz, Emerald and using the Clearlook theme but still it's the same thing.

    Yes, I'm using Nvidia but its not the same error. My computer doesn't freeze.

  • Snow Leopard hangs after LDAP login, mouse works, keyboard stops working

    Afternoon,
    It was suggested that I post my question below in a server forum rather than a client form.
    Mike
    Morning,
    Earlier I posted a question about 10.5 brightness and 10.6. The user will deal with the brightness issue, so that's moot at the moment. I still have an issue with 10.6 hanging.
    I have configured 10.6 to authenticate using OpenLDAP from a Red Hat box. The authentication works fine. I have added /home from the same linux box to the list of NFS mounts (Disk Utility->File->NFS Mounts?, I'm not in front of the mac box at this moment to verify). The /home filesystem does get mounted.
    Very quickly after logging into a non-local, LDAP account, the mac box becomes useless in that I cannot start any programs, I can't logout, I can't do anything. If I double click on Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) I get the brief flash like Terminal is starting, but the application never appears on the desktop.
    I can still ssh into the mac box. When I ssh in and run top, to see what's consuming the CPU, the machine is idle. My guess right now is every application is timing out or failing to start. I see nothing hogging the CPU nor the network.
    When I log in using a local, non-LDAP account the mac box acts as I expect it to when launching applications, looking at NFS, surfing the web, etc.
    Any ideas what's going on, what to check for, and how to fix this?
    This is an iMac 27". I may need to contact Apple support on this one.
    Mike
    Additionally, the mouse continues to work, the keyboard stops working (wifi both), and the finder starts reporting -10810 on every application open attempt. I can select the Apple->Logout or Restart options, but nothing happens. I must ssh into the iMac and 'shutdown -r now' to get back to a login so I can login as root to make further changes.
    Mike

    I was able to grab a crash log if that helps.

  • System Hangs After A While:  Processor or Hard Drive?

    I have a Early 2008 iMac that works fine for the first 30 or so minutes then begins to hang or show the beach ball of death (BBOD), especially when I try running two or more programs at the same time. I can be doing something with iTunes and try to open Safari and it will literally hang for several seconds (sometimes minutes). I can try to open Activity Monitor but it too will hang. Eventually the second program will open then Activity Monitor (3rd program) will eventually pop up. Sometime Activity Monitor will open first and will indicate the second opened program, like Safari, is unresponsive so I use Quit Process to stop the software from opening/starting.
    As I mentioned, this is after I've been on the iMac for say 30-40 minutes. I have recently updated my SDRAM as I had read a thread that the dreaded BBOD was indicative of faulty memory and sure enough, I found by running Apple's Hardware Test that the original 1 GB of SDRAM was bad so I replaced it with 2 GB which brought me up to 4 GB. I run AppleJack periodically, just to keep the Permissions and Verifications happy.
    After several hanging episodes, I ran TechTool Deluxe and the software runs through its entire process and when it gets to Volume Structure, it will run through the entire test and just when it gets to the end, I'll see a quick flash of Fail but the report will finish and the written report will say it Passed (?!)
    Since it takes awhile for the hanging symptoms to appear, I'm wondering if its heat-related. But I'm not sure if it could be the processor or the hard drive itself. I will say my internal optical drive died some time ago (that was a long iMac Discussion thread that I too wrote in bemoaning the demise of my iMac's optical drive and it appeared several other iMac owners had the same issue too).
    BTW, the Apple Hardware Test passed the processor and hard drive. And I apologize if this sounds similar to the Apple Discussions Intel-based iMac thread _System Hangs, Freezes iMac 8,1_ but I haven't upgraded my OS to 10.6 (and that seemed to be a current theme) so I didn't chime in on that thread.

    I have checked the S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk Utility and it does say Verified. I also verified Disk Permissions and while it took a little time, it eventually worked its way through it.
    Then I ran AHT and it passed. Then I ran it in the extended mode and the computer locked up after about two minutes.
    I was able to borrow a USB drive installed with Apple Service Diagnostic (OS) for my generation of iMac and booted to it. I ran some tests, with one of them being a hard drive test, which it failed. So I think I have my answer. Thanks for your suggestions.

  • System hang after clicking "Run" to launch "SBO_Welcome.hta"

    Hi,
    My client encounters a pop up window "Open File - Security Warning" upon logging into SAP.
    It is a message to run "SBO_Welcome.hta" which is located on "
    SERVER\B1_SHR\Help\EN".
    When the "Run" button is clicked to launch the above mentioned file, the system will hang.
    Also, the error below will be displayed when we force shut down the above pop up window from Task Manager.
    Error:[NCM Main].[Main] The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT:  0x8007068A)
    The above issue is encountered on a specific workstation only.
    Kindly suggest if anyone knows how to resolve this.
    Thank you.

  • Importing HDV Footage: System Hang After Indexing Finished

    Running Premiere CS6 with updates.
    Generally solid application, but the first time I crashed it this year, was during import of HDV footage. After the footage indexes, and the thumbnail pic changes from 'media pending' to the actual footage frame, the mouse pointer freezes. The keyboard is frozen too. Can't even bring up the Task Manager in Windows 7 64. Is HDV even supported anymore? Maybe it's an invalid format? The file plays fine in VLC, so I don't think it's corrupted. But egads, I've never seen an app hang Windows 7 before!

    I've confirmed that the hang does not happen with Canon HV20 footage, only Sony HVR-V1U footage. Any footage shot by that camera will hang not only Premiere, but the entire OS. I have to power down the machine to regain control.
    What's so different about Sony's implementation of HDV that it is incompatible with Premiere?

  • System hangs after using external display with lid closed

    I often use my MBP with the lid closed with an external display and Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. When done in this mode, I put the system to sleep using the apple menu, then disconnect the monitor. I found some info on the apple site explaining that this was the recommended procedure for exiting the lid-closed mode.
    However, sometimes the system doesn't go to sleep. Opening the lid, the LED goes out, but the display remains off. If I then try reconnecting the external monitor, nothing happens. It appears that it has gone into some mode where it is active, but no displays are enabled. My only resource at this point is to power the system off and back on, at which point everything is ok.
    I'm wondering if turning off my bluetooth devices after selecting the sleep menu item is causing the system to reawaken at a bad time, causing this state to occur.
    I have also run into problems when connecting an external projection monitor. On several occassions I have connected the external display adapter before turning on the projector, or before connecting it to the adapter, and the system locked-up hard (no mouse movement, etc). My only recourse was hard power off.
    Any ideas? Is this a broken system or are these known OSX or MBP issues?

  • Satellite L750 system hangs after disconnecting the WLan

    I bought Satellite L750 series laptop on that i connected Wifi. if i disconnect Wifi then system get hanging. I cant do anything in that. I updated driver software and i checked all the possibilities as my knowledge.

    >if i disconnect Wifi then system get hanging.
    I assume you are using Fn + F8 to enable/disable the WLan.
    Right?
    Did you try to recover the system in order to check if this is a system problem?
    I think you should do that and should recover the notebook using HDD recovery procedure
    Power up the unit, press F8, choose Repair my Computer, choose HDD recovery and follow the instruction on the screen then you will get the system with factory settings.
    Then test the WLan.
