Satellite L505 will not start! Please help me!

My Tobisha Satellite is having a problem booting up. I am using the Satellite L505.
Whenever I try to turn on my computer the boot logo comes up, but then after that a black screen comes up with a symbol up at the top left. It stays on that screen forever, please help me!!!!

Try what drev9 said.    And you can also try repeat tries to get it to boot (hold the power button in ntil it shuts off, then power it back on again. I once got my L505D to successfully boot but it took 3-4 tries like that.) Or you can try walking off and just leaving it stwe a while to see if Windows resolves the issue.   If it prompts you that Windows didn't start right, you can either try start normally or do a restore back to last restore point or whatever that other option is.    If you get the macine running, definitely back up or copy off all of your important data and pictures, before you shut it off again.
Probably what you're going to need to do is a complete Toshiba Restore that reinstalls all software back to factory configuration, and that will erase everything on the hard disk.   It's remarkably easi to do, provided you have a fast and reliable Internet connection to get all the updates installed.
I have an L505D-s6947 and it was purchased in July 2009.     It recently started having problems with starting up Windows, could not complete burning a DVD, lost some files, corrupted my original Admin account, and occasionally the hard disk was "not available" when file writes were supposed to happen.    Doing a full Restore cleans out all the junk, it fixed my problems, and the machine runs reliable and much faster now, plus has no difficulty burning DVDS.   These computers probably should get wiped and reinstalled once a year, to keep the performance up and Windows running smoothly.

TS1440 Flashing circle prohibition sign, Mac will not start. Help!

Hi there,
I need some guidance can some techie please help me!
My Mac book pro, 10.6 will not start, a flashing prohibition sign and a folder with a question mark appears on my screen.
I have shut down and tried thePRAM start up but nothing. I have snow leopard disk, should I re install. Will I lose all my data?
I recently updated iTunes and a day later my computer crashed. Any help would be appreciated.

If your machine was upgraded to OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountian Lion, then DO NOT PROCEED!
The 10.6 disks cannot be used for 10.7 or 10.8, if that's the case, then let me know as a different method is involved.
On the second screen booted from the 10.6 disk, under Utilities menu is Disk Utility.
Select your entire internal boot drive on the left, it should have a name and a size.
Click First Aid > Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
If the drive doesn't appear on the left, it may mean it's dead or there is a broken connection between the drive and the computer.
If Disk Utility says "can't repair, backup and erase and install" then the drive works, it's that it can't repair the file structure, likely because of a failed sector on the drive (may be natural or caused by shock or failing drive)
However you don't have to erase if it says to do so, if the drive works mechanically the data can be recovered.
The drive may work fine if removed from the machine as well if it's not showing up on the left in Disk Utility.
If the drive doesn't work, then the data can be recovered if it wasn't Filevaulted, but the platter dissection required is expensive.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
If the drive is repaired, do it again.
After the drive is repaired, Quit Disk Utiltiy and select Reset Password from the Utilties menu.
Don't change the password if your just repairing user permissions, instead select the drive at top and the account your having issues with.
See an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the button.
After that, quit and your in the OS X install screen, select the boot volume and click Install, this will overwrite OS X 10.6 with a fresh copy.
Quit and restart, then when you log in hit Apple Menu > Software Update until clear, you should be on 10.6.8
Some third party programs may not work, you will have to reinstall them from original sources and make sure they are compliant with 10.6.8

I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled everything.
I got a smart drive USB casing for the corrupted hard drive and connected it to the laptop.
First it couldn't read any thing on it and it wouldn't run a scandisk. So i run a scandisk on 'my computer' which included the connected smart drive.
Took a long time ... went to bed after 2 hours and when i got up and restarted the laptop, the smart drive was accessible and i could transfer all my files etc.
I don't know what it did over night, but it worked.
I reinstalled the old hard drive to retrieve some program data and it runs on windows again and everything was nearly like before, just the system restore wouldn't run and after a scan disk etc it still won't run.
great.
have a nice day

Mac will not start. HELP!!

Hi
It sounds like you are experiencing kernel panic, if you see that grey screen with multi languages. The cause is usually hardware, possibly RAM. Have a look at this link. It may help you.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
It mentions Tiger, but I think you could work with that.
I hope you can get things fixed before your mates come around.

TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

My iTunes will not open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes. The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
Please Help!!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

StarSuite will not start up - help! Changed paths from one drive to another

Hi all,
I am using: StarSuite 8
On an: ASUS eePC 900
OS: Windows XP
This is my partner's computer. StarSuite 8 came with it the machine, but as yet she has not even gotten a chance to use it.
It has two hard drives:
C: drive is 4GB (with 500MG free), D: drive is 7.5GB (with 6.3GB free)
Windows, StarSuite 8, and everything else that came with the machine are all on the C: drive (the smaller one), which is why only 500MG are free (she has deleted everything else that wasn't an expensive program or the operating system; most of the 4GB is Windows XP as far as we can tell).
Previously, when she opened StarSuite 8 (swriter), when a new file would be opened, an error message appeared that said something along the lines of "Not enough disk space free" - i don't recall the exact wording.
As there where over 6 gigabytes free, we assumed the problem was that StarSuite 8 was somehow being dependant on the mostly used-up C: drive.
So i went into, i think,
Tools -> Options
...and found a section to change the paths for the folders that StarSuite 8 seemed to be saving to, drawing templates from, etc.
I found those folders on the C: drive, under "Documents and Settings", copied them (without making any changes at all), saved the copies to the D: drive, replicated the whole file path.
Then i went back to Tools -> Options and whatever that section is to change the paths. I edited them to point to the D drive rather than the C drive, to my newly created and copied-over files, the paths now looked something like this:
D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne/Application Data/StarSuite 8/User/ <all the various folders, copied exactly from it's equivalent on the C drive.
I thought if StarSuite 8 looked at the D drive instead of the C drive, it would stop bringing up the error message that kept claiming there was "insufficient disk space". The only thing i changed about any path was that the letter "C" became "D", and the default folder to which files are saved became "D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne" rather than "My Documents" (because My Documents is on the C: drive).
I then created and saved an swriter file, as a test to make sure everything was working, and it saved fine. I can still see the file sitting there under "D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne".
Anyway, my partner (Kathryne, as you can guess), just fired up her eePC, tried to open StarSuite 8 - and nothing happened. It will not open.
So she right-clicked on a .doc file, selected "Open With swriter", and it worked - the file was opened up.
But you can't do anything on it. When you hover the cursor over any of the menu buttons, it just turns into a little hourglass and does nothing. Task Manager says that it is "Not Responding", and it will stay like that for ages. It doesn't work at all. I cannot get back into the "Tools" menu to change all the file paths back to their default settings - it just won't let me.
My normal response would be to uninstall and reinstall, and just erase all the changes i've made that way. But this is an eePC - there is no optical drive on this machine, it was all pre-installed, and uninstalling StarSuite 8 would leave us with no way to get it back.
Can anybody help me, please? I had no idea changing the paths might make the program non-functional, especially as i copied all of the path folders over without making any changes to them. I thought at the worst i would be able to go back into it and change the paths back to default; and like i said, i saved a test file with it after making the changes, and it seemed to work fine. But apparently I'm an idiot.
Can anyone rescue me from this guilt?

1) - it isn't.
2) I haven't been. Tried it just then to see if anything different happened, but no.
3) It does. I justdid that, and it seems to have solved the problem.
It opened up, ultra-fast (faster than MS Office ever has...), and it generated multiple error messages (presumably to let me know that it couldn't find the files it keeps in those folders?):
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/script.xlc/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/dialog.xlc/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/dialogs.xli/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
After clicking "Okay" to each error message, i typed a short sentence in the file, and successfully saved it (to the C: drive, even), without seeing any trace of the "not enough space" type messages that used to come up. And after closing the program and opening it again, i haven't seen these messages reappear.
4) I will tell let her know that it is recommended!
5) She did this last night, and has been using it in the meantime. I think she still wants StarSuite 8, but she is aware of OpenOffice.
(6) - I haven't done this, as your suggestion (3) seems to have fixed it.)
Thank-you very much for the advice and the time you spent in replying, i really appreciate this. Your suggestion seems to have fixed the problem. I am hoping that the error messages listed above won't reappear - i assume that was just the program telling me that the user folders were missing, and that it re-created them soon after? I guess similar messages will appear (and disappear) upon opening Calc and the others, as well.
The original problem - the error messages relating to disk space - has not re-appeared, i have nooo idea why, but all seems fine for now.Thank-you again for your advice! :)
