S10E freezes at the "Welcome" screen

Hello,
I bought a S10e a couple of days ago. The programs I installed were by no means exotic - AVG (I gave Norton a try and then removed it using Norton Removal Tool before I transferred the AVG Free offline installer from my desktop PC), Open Office, WavePad and PhotoFiltre. I noticed that windows hangs at the welcome screen from time to time and so I used the recovery program to reset everything. On the fresh copy of XP I installed AVG, MS Office, Demon tools lite and WavePad. The hangs continued I have no idea why... The only thing that comes to my mind is the fact that I don't have a wireless connection at the moment so there can be some kind of problem with some program's updater (and namely AVG's).
Any thoughts how to solve this?
P.S. I saw this thread but I think that this can be a different issue as far as the recovery program didn't help
P.P.S. Sorry for my Engrish

Thanks!
Today I had enough time (and access to the university's wi-fi ) to do some tests. I came to the conclusion that AVG's updater was causing the trouble. I installed Avira and now the computer seems to work fine (more than dozen restarts and no hangs so far). It's a pity for AVG (one of the best free AV solutions around), but I guess the current build causes problems on IdeaPad systems without active Internet connection. Hopefully the guys @ Grisoft will have this issue fixed as soon as possible.

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

> Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck

5800 freeze in NOKIA welcome screen

my phone turned off and when i want to turn on it again, it freeze in its welcome screen (NOKIA) without the handshake presenting. and it took so long 'til my battery dropped again.
yeah, i had a problem same with you guys .
and what i do is remove my memory card BEFORE i turn on my handset.
voila !, it back to normal .
but, if i turn off and turn on again (memory card still inside), it just initiate the screen NOKIA without the handshake presenting.
it drive me crazy.
what is the solution? , i don't wanna remove and insert my memory card everytime i use my phone.
please help me guys !

I had this issue as well ... when turning my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic on, it would freeze at the Nokia start up screen. I had installed lots of apps from the Ovi Store over a periods of a couple of months, so I cannot say which one was "to blame" for the sudden freezing.
Taking out the battery, even for hours, did not help in my case.. When I pulled out the (8Gb) MicroSD card then turned the 5800 on, it booted without a problem ... though of course I did not have access to any apps which had been installed to the MicroSD card.
Posters elsewhere have stated that in the situation described above, the problem is that the MicroSD card is corrupted, and must be reformatted. While I'm sure that would work, I think it's a little extreme as a first step.
There is an interim step that worked for me: try first running software (such as MS Windows' Check Disk) that can correct corrupted files on the MicroSD. There are many ways to go about this. I did the following (I run Windows XP on my computer).
1) remove the MicroSD card from the Nokia 5800 (be sure to follow the instructions in your manual)
2) insert your MicroSD into a card reader, and plug the card reader into your computer (if it's not already attached to your computer).
>>> At this point, it's a good idea to back up the data on your MicroSD card to your computers's hard drive before you go further.
*** the rest assumes you have Windows XP ***
3) After a few seconds, Windows XP should recognize the MicroSD card as a drive. In my case, a dialog box called "Removable Drive E" popped up. Your Dialog Box may have a different name. If so, substitute that name in the instructions below.
4) Scroll down within the dialog box until you see "Open Folder to View Files using Windows Explorer", and DOUBLE-LEFT-CLICK on it.
5) A Windows Explorer windows opens up. RIGHT-CLICK on "Removable Drive E" and when the dialog box opens, LEFT-CLICK on "Properties"
6) A new window opens, called "Removable Disk E Properties". Select TAB "Tools"
7) Inside the "Error-Checking" section on top, LEFT-CLICK on "Check Now ..."
8) A small window called "Check Disk Removabl ..." opens. Make sure both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan or and attempt recovery of bad sectors" are selected, then LEFT CLICK on the Start button.
The Check Disk program will run for several minutes, and hopefully fix any corrupt sectors on your MicroSD card.
9) When Check Disk is done, shut down all the dialog and Windows Explorer boxes, then remove the MicroSD card. IMPORTANT: to prevent further data corruption, make sure you use the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility before you physically remove the card reader and MicroSD card from your computer.
10) Insert the MicroSD card back in your Nokia 5800, then turn on the 5800. If Check Disk found and fixed the corrupted files, your 5800 should boot without a problem.
If after all of this your 5800 still freezes at the Nokia logo on start up, you might proceed with the card reformatting suggestions made by others. Good luck!
Cheers,
Bruce

The welcome screen keeps making me take the tour each time I open

I just downloaded PSE 8 three times now (it kept hanging crashing). Turne
d off auto analyzer and that seemed to work. Now everytime i open PSE, i am forced to take the tour on the welcome screen. VERY annoying. Any help??

Bob - once i got past the welcome screen everything would work for about 2 minutes and then it would freeze (very disappointing). I read that the auto-analyzer would cause this so i turned it off, and everthing seems fine now.
I also read that there is a workaround the welcome screen (which is a terrible concept). So i created a short-cut to the organizer, and then start Priemer or PS from Organizer. Works great this way, and actually makes more sense to do it this way.
Please let me know when they fix the issue with auto-analyzer.
Thanks.

Geforce GTX 760 freezes in HP welcome screen!

Hi,
I've got an issue with installing a new VGA on my HP pavilion HPE-H8-1206eo.
I'm trying to install a gigabyte GeForce GTX 760, but it won't work. The screen freezes in HP welcome screen and the BIOS beeps a couple of times.
Is the VGA compatible with my system?
I've upgraded my power supply, uppdated my BIOS, tested the VGA in another system, rebooted with new drivers but it won't work.
Can you help me?

Hi MagnusR,
I see that you are looking to install the GeForce GTX 760 in your Pavilion. I did some research and the Pavilion only has PCI Express 1.0 slots and your GeForce requires a PCI Express 3.0 below I have included the links to the specs for both pieces of hardware.

I recently restored my 2009 macbook to factory settings and now its stuck on the welcome screen where u choose your country. My trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when I tap on it to select continue it does nothing at all. The only thing else it will allow me to do is go thru the voice over tutorial by pressing escape. Please help me fix this I need to use my computer.

Hi, teezbreezy64.
I found a couple of resources to help troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. The first is this article named Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248.
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend resetting the SMC on your computer. Here is an article on how to do that:

How do I disable the welcome screen in iCloud

This may seem like a simple question but every time I attempt to access my iCloud account, I get the Welcome screen asking me if I want to activate Find Your device (whatever device I'm using) and if I want to activate Find my Friends (NO) etc. Half the time I don't even know what the correct address is for iPad and get all kinds of other websites and I just give up. Now I'm in a CRITICAL SITUATION in which I've gotten a Time Machine message that my WD Drive is no longer backing up and must be reformatted immediatly - YIKES! As you all can see I am very frustrated - I am still in the process of restoring data I lost from a hard drive failure in JUNE 2011 LOL How do I disable the Welcome screen in iCloud? What exactly is the correct web address? Sounds like a question for Watson. I know others have had a similar problem with WD external drives; can I recover enough data to get me back up and running? All my Time Machine back ups are on that drive. Awhile ago I bought Carbon Copy; it is apparently not functioning as it should (again back up on that drive) because I did the upgrade prior to getting the data off the WD drive, it installed a Trial Carbon Copy and is now asking me to reinstall what is sees as new software thus the last disc image is "lost. HELP PLEASE

Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser does not start from the welcome screen

Having installed Photoshop Elements 11(Windows 7) I cannot open the Organiser from the welcome screen. It can be opened via the Editor but few of the thumbnails are shown as pictures rather as empty squares. The situation does not improve with time but tends to get worse with pictures turning into squares. I have tried the tip with preferences but to no avail. I would be very grateful for some help. Best Regards Ian Tomlinson

Try pressing Ctrl+A (to select all thumbnails) and then refresh again (Edit >> Update Thumbnails for selected items). If that makes no difference you may need to regenerate the cache.
It may be worth rebuilding the thumbnail cache before re-installing. Click the menu:
Help >> System info to find the path to your catalog.
1. Close Organizer.
2. Navigate to C: ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog
3. Find the file - thumb.5.cache
4. Highlight the file and delete it.
5. Re-start Elements Organizer
6. Wait until all thumbnails have been generated.
N.B. ProgramData may be a hidden system file:

Stop installing Tiger before the Welcome screen appears

I would like to give my Mac away as a gift to a newbie and consider it nice to give him a Mac that feels like being delivered from the factory.
This means: I would like him to see the welcome screen first (the one where all the Welcomes in hundred different languages appear immediately after you power up your Mac for the first time ever).
Unfortunately, after following the usual process of starting from recovery disk, erasing the Hard Drive and installing the OS it starts this screen automatically. I do not see a way to stop it or make sure that it appears again upon next power up of the Mac. On the contrary: You must enter your personal settings immediately.
I read something about this years ago and think I remember it was a UNIX-Code which had to be entered. But even if so: Where can I enter? I cannot open Terminal in this stage?
Power Mac G5 2x 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Casual User, but my first Mac is still here: The 128k from 1985

@Steve:
The good news: I do not have to be ashamed of myself.
The bad news: No, you cannot go up to Setup Assistent menu bar.
After the installing process is finished the Mac runs into the described "Welcome" windows and asks for registration and setup of an administrator account. There is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid that. There is no menu bar, no button, no nothing.
All the good advices here and elsewhere are talking of entering commands or starting in single-user mode or other, but you simply cannot go into anything. Even the keyboard shortcuts (cmd-alt-esc, etc.) do not work.
I have found a workaround which I really hesitated to use but it obviously works: During the floating around of the "Welcome" logos I pushed the On-Off switch for 8 seconds thereby killing the Mac. After a restart it starts exactly with the "Welcome" window and asks for registration. But this is really not a nice way to treat a Mac.
Thank you anyway.

Satellite L500 will not load past the 'welcome' screen

Hi,
My Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop will not load past the 'welcome' screen. The cursor thing just keeps going around and around but won't go to my desktop.
Last night it went into some temporary profile and it had a message saying 'your other profile cannot load at this time please try again later'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kara

The error message is not known to me and also searching in google didnt get any hints.
Possibly your Windows OS is muddled up.
Did you try to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
Try this. Restart your notebook, tap the F8 key.
In advanced boot options choose the option called Safe Mode.
If the notebook does not allow booting in Safe Mode, try the option Last Good Known Configuration.
If this didnt help, try Repair my Computer. Here you can choose between different settings.
The one which could solve this is HDD recovery which helps you to set the notebook to factory settings. But this means also that your HDD would be formatted!
So be aware of this!

Please allow us to disable the Welcome Screen in Acrobat X for Windows!

When another program launches a .pdf and it calls Acrobat X Pro to load, the welcome screen hangs everything up. If it's an option for Mac OS, it should be for Windows too. If there is a registry key or the likes that I can modify, by all means, please tell me!
