Satellite P20-771 with Windows 7: no sound and screen goes white

Hi all.. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this machine. I tried latest Realtek AC97 drivers, the driver installs and everything seems fine but no sound is produced at all. As for Video Card I used some modded Nvidia Drivers 97.xx I found at Guru 3D.. there's no way to activate AERO, the pc hangs if I try.
I set the system to turn off the screen after 10 minutes of no use.. it goes white instead. How so? Any clue? Also, does anyone know if there's any modded driver that can run AERO? All the ones I tried did not work.

No, it's just a driver issue. I once had Vista running aero on an Nvidia 5200. It seems that FX 5700 can run Aero with Nvidia Modded Drivers 97.46 as for this post: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista/78791-driver-per-toshiba-laptop-p20-771-nvidia-ge-force-fx-5700-trovatiiiiiiiiiiii.html
However those same drivers won't enable aero under W7.
Anyone knows anything about the audio issue and the white screen? I tried different modded drivers.. some will produce garbage on screen, other will reboot the machine if DX9 is involved. These 97.46 won't produce garbage but for example won't run Google Earth (hang the program) while 174.xx can...

Sounds like a hardware issue. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

MBP 15 is running and screen goes white with thin vert lines

Running normally and if I adjust the screen angle it goes white with lines. Just started happening. 10.5.8 about 4 years old

Based on your post, that seems the most likely problem but it could be something else. Before any repair is attempted, the problem has to be properly defined. You may try iFixit.com and see if they can advise you, have a replacement part and attempt to fix it yourself. This certainly depends upon all the chips falling into the right place with no guarantees of success. You must also consider the age of the MBP and its worth vs. the cost of the repair.
Ciao.

Satellite P20-771: Blue screen error message after OS reinstalling

I have a laptop Satellite P20-771 / Pentium 4 3.40GHz (800/HTT) / XP Home/ 17' with nVidia Geo5700 driver.
As I had some problems with software, and I reinstalled everything using the provided CDs. Unfortunately the computer keeps malfunctioning giving me blue screen errors, that are due (this comes out when I sumbit the error to Microsoft) to device drivers. I updated everything (I hope) from the Toshiba page, but I am not an expert and I am worried that I missed something or that something has not been loaded in the right order or that the setting are incorrect.
Thank in advance for your help
Roberto

Hello
I have also P20 (red one) and have never had any problem after using provided recovery media. According to your posting there must be two possible reasons for blue screen:
1. you have installed some additional software that causes bluescreen or
2. there is some hardware component responsible for that (new memory module or maybe some external device connected to the unit)
Sorry but I dont see any other reason. On this way it is not easy to give precise answer and we can just speculate why this happen.

Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
Thanks,

I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
After making those changes it worked like a charm.

Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-v and System Center Expiration

Prometric says: STATUS: Passed, EXPIRATION: 22-03-2015.
Does this means that I have to take the exam again before 22-03-2015?

Hi, Daniel.
Let me understand this exactly.
You log into http://register.prometric.com/ and then on the left side, you click
Candidate History to see your list of exam attempts.
Under the Status Expiration column, all the way to the right, it should read
Passed and the date/time you passed it. Are you sure it reads
2015 and not
2014? Is there also
another date on that same row/column for this exam's expiration below the date you passed it?
On the Prometric site, this column is supposed to display the date you passed it and optionally the date it expires for many non-Microsoft exams.
Typically for Microsoft exams, this final column will state the day you passed the exam and
not an expiration date.
As well, by passing this exam, I know that you also earned a Specialist: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center certification title. This certification does
not expire.
Exam 74-409:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam.aspx?ID=74-409
Have you looked at your MCP transcript to see if a expiration date is mentioned there? No matter what it states on the Prometric site, your transcript will describe any exam/certification expiration dates much
more accurately.
Also, I understand that the 74-nnn series exams are Microsoft partner exams. Perhaps they
do require recertification to keep up to date with the latest certifications.
If your transcript does really contain an expiration, you can contact Prometric about this and see if they can help you understand it. Here is the Prometric contact information for Microsoft exams:
https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/pages/contact-numbers.aspx?client=microsoft
As well, if they can't help you, you can call/email Microsoft Learning Support with information found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx.
Finally, if you want to be sure how this exam works against your employer's Microsoft partnership, you can log in and view the Partner support page here:
https://partners.microsoft.com/partnerprogram/help/en-us/whgdata/whlstt14.htm#14
I hope someone can help you get this cleared up.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

Xfce4: Problems with Sound and Screen Locking on ASUS G53S

Hello everyone,
I recently installed Arch for the first time, and decided to use xfce4 for my desktop environment. Everything seems to work well after I followed the instructions given in the wiki, except for the sound and screen-locking functionality. Regarding the sound, I made sure that my user account is added to the audio group, and installed the gstreamer1.0-base-plugins and gstreamer1.0-good-plugins packages. The xfce4-mixer applet starts up without any warnings and recognizes the available devices, but I am still not able to hear any sound. The "Lock Screen" applet simply does nothing upon being clicked. Do you have any ideas as to what I should try in order to fix these problems?
Thank you very much!

To be able to lock the screen you have to install and configure a screen locker or screen saver, e.g. xscreensaver, slock, i3lock, maybe combined with xautolock. When you use a screen locker and not xscreensaver, XFCE might not recognize it. Then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/xflock4 or use a shellscript if you need to pass parameters.
My configuration: xautolock with i3lock. /usr/local/bin/xflock4 is this executable shellscript:
#!/bin/sh
xautolock -locknow
xautolock is started in the XFCE autostart with this commandline: xautolock -locker 'i3lock -d -i ~/Bilder/arch/arch-linux-lock.png'
PS: If you like i3lock and need user switching capabilities, I can give you a patch where Ctrl-S calls a custom command (gdmflexiserver by default)

Mac is making a whirring sound and screen is blank

My 2008 desktop Mac started making a loud whirring sound in the middle of the right when it was left on. It was turned off at the wall switch and when turned on in the morning, it started reving up with the same whirring sound and the screen was blank. After on for a few minutes, a file folder icon appeared in the middle of the screen with a large question mark in it. Mashing some buttons on the keyboard did nothing. Had just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?

When I connect my iMac to a hdtv, the screen goes white with snow

When I connect my imac to my samsung hdtv through DVI miniport to HDMI on the tv, the connection is fine for about 10-15 minutes and then goes white with snow. I had a macbook pro before and used to use the same connection on the same tv and it worked perfectly fine. Please help

Nope it won't do that on the mid 2011 iMacs. What you're trying is called Target Display Mode, the only way it would work is if the PC has Thunderbolt (which no PC has) and you use a Thunderbolt cable.
What you can do is hook up to two external monitors on your iMac (giving it up to 3 monitors) which is very cool and can improve productivity depending on what you use your iMac for.

Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
Buttons pressing themself...
Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
suggestions?

Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though. Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.
