Roving error message on black screen at start up "Input not supported)

HP Pavilion media center a1547c,  running XP.  Changed the resolution because the icons appeared larger and the screen went black with a roving error message "Attention: Input not supported" message box is white with grey stripes top and bottom.  On restarting,  WindowsXP logo comes up, then error message appears but I can hear the Windows "chimes".   Anyone?

Start Windows XP in safe mode.  Press the power button and then begin tapping the F8 key before Windows boots up.  Choose Safe Mode with command prompt. While in safe mode, start system restore by typing rstrui.exe and pressing enter.  Choose a restore point dated before before the initial problem began. This may resolve the issue. If it does, fantastic.  If not, then continue with the troubleshooting as described below.
When  Windows restarts consider two troubleshooting scenarios to isolate the issue. What you need to know is whether the problem lies with the PC's video output of the LCD display.
1) connect a different display to the PC  and log into Windows to see if the windows desktop is normal.
2 )install a low powered (inexpensive and less than 1GB VRAM) PCI Express  x16 video card. You need to see if that corrects the display issue with the original display connected. That will show you if the motherboard's video output is the issue.
Don't forget to post your result here in your thread.
Best regards,
erico

  • Vimeo video unable to connect. Error message says "video format or mime type is not supported.

    Hi I am using a template with a full screen video landing page but i am unable to get Vimeo to video to connect. Error message says "video format or mime type is not supported".
    I have uploaded successfully to Vimeo however when published to catalyst and previewed the error message "video format or mime type is not supported." is displayed.
    Is this a format issue? I should point out I am using a template from Museworld as I am not a designer or graphic artist just another noob.@

    Hi,
    This seems to be a Firefox error:
    Firefox error: video format or MME type not supported - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
    Kindly check if you are able to view the video on Vimeo.
    Also, try using another browser.
    Hope it helps,

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • Error Message and Black screens?

    My mbp has been experiencing the black screens of death and so im sending mine in to get repaired. But while not running on the 512 graphics card i've gotten error screens that have multiple languages saying i have to restart my computer and the the screen goes grey. It's only happened twice and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with there new macbook pro? I remember this happening to my old PB 12inch but when that happened the graphics never seemed to fix itself after being restarted and was told it was my logic board. Could it be that the 256 sautered graphics card is bad in the new mbps as well as the 512 external?

    Alright got my computer back and it seems to be running fine, have been using it for about 2 days now. Im not sure if they have replaced anything in the computer though. I checked online when it was in the shop and it had said no problem was found. So I called them and said I knew for fact something was wrong and so 5 days later I got my computer back with some apple repair papers inside. The papers aren't very specific other then in the "Service Description and Parts Used**" it states, "The following services and/or replacement parts were used to service your product."; 605-1688 PCBA MLB CTO 2.8 +"Other Parts Used As Required"+
    So maybe they replaced something or maybe im just lucky I haven't gotten any problems yet, only more time will tell I guess unless anyone can figure out what all the previous stuff I mentioned means.

  • BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

    Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
    How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
    cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power. 
    I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
    and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
    about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine. 
    Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
    so I'm putting 2 together.
           Errors:
    I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
    I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
           Event Viewer events found:
    1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
    There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
    "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
    "The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
    3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
    "LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
    I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the
    driver wasnt for the system, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on.
                 MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change
    this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
    What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

    You are very wrong about that mystified. What do YOU think made my computer work without beeping at all hu? (I bet you're gonna tell me). I figured it out.

  • I get an error message that sync failed to start

    When I try to sync my Ipod Touch it shows that it is waiting to sync but then I get an error message that sync failed to start.  I have tried restore and re starting my computer but I still get the same message, what is going on and how do I fix it? Please help!

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iphone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iphone disabled connect to itunes" what do i do

    My iPhone 4 has an error message on the screen that reads "iiPhone disabled connect to iTunes" I've tried connecting and can't get anywhere what do I do and what is the problem?

    Your phone is disabled for some reason. Maybe you entered the wrong Passcode too many times. In any case you need to do just as the phone is instructing you to do. Start the latest version of atones on your computer and connect your phone. iTunes should guide you through the process of getting your phone working again. Here's a link to an Apple support page on this:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

    Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
    What do I do??? Please help.

    Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
    That will give you all the information on your Mac.
    This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
    Good luck!

  • Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

    itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

    I have same problem  on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC.    Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far.  Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
      It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes.     Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:-     open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes.   Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS.      I-tunes will now re-open ok.   You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
    A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

  • HT1199 I updated Itunes on my PC and now when i try to open Itunes i get a error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found" then whenI close that pop up I get a error message saying "windows was not installed correctly Erro

    I updated my itunes the other day and now it won't open I get error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found"  When I close that window I get message stating Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 Windows error 126.  My PC is a Acer and I'm running Windows Visa.  I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall it and get same message.  Can anyone help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
