Startup window hung

Using remote desktop to my xserve, I tried to log out. Screen went the standard background blue and just sat there. That was yesterday. Today it was still like that. Used server monitor to restart, and it did it without a problem. But now when I use remote desktop to get in, the startup splash screen has the progress bar at full and still animated, but has just been sitting there for at least an hour. I can still mount volumes and have full access to shared resources, but just cannot login to the server. Any Ideas?

Just to follow up. Got this from another of my posts
You can boot from an OSXS disc and repair the permissions from there, or you can repair the permissions after you SSH into the problematic server. Something like this....
ssh [email protected]
diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/ServerHD

Hi Group: I think my "Macintosh H.D." disappeared off my desk top when I cloned the drive in setting up ext drive. The space at top rt corner went blank, the drive shows in disk utility, startup window, in the finder it shows up as "my Mac Pro'Help"

Hi Group:
In trying to set up an ext Drive for different purpose, I cloned my Macintosh H.D. drive and saved on another drive. Then I cloned the data on the Ext, used my orig. DVD to install sy on it, 4 attempts before it would accept the install. Did a reboot to confirm install no luck, and noticed that the space at top rt of D/T blank, the 2nd,3rd,& 4th bay Drives appeared below a blank space. My Mac H.D. appears in startup window & D/U but in finder Pref it is listed as " my name Mac Pro". The desk top has stayed the same, I can use startup to S/U in all drives with a Sy, including Macintosh H. D. altho no icon or other clue that I am booted in it.
During all my attempts with cloning and saving etc I think I made it invisible. I am not comfortable to try Terminal to find out. I will be totally thankful for all suggestions.
I am using a Mac Pro (2008) with OS 10.6.8
The external drive is on Firewire
I used Disk Utility to set up drive
I used CCC to clone
Thanks Funoptics

go to finder preferences then side bar. make sure hard disk is ticked.

Chkdsk run every time I startup Windows Vista under Bootcamp in 10.6

I have Windows Vista 32 bits installed on bootcamp partition and it work fine in 10.5.
Now I have upgrade my MBP (early 2008) to Snow Leopard, and upgrade WIndows Bootcamp drivers to version 3.0 from Snow Leopard DVD. Both installation were completed and run fine.
The problem I have now is: Whenever I used Mac OS, shut down, then restart the WIndows Vista by pressing Option key at Macbook Pro startup, Chkdsk will run evry time, checking integrity of the Windows boot partition. I have to wait for more than 20 minutes before Chkdsk fix all errors, then reboot, and press Options key to get back into WIndows Vista without Chkdsk running.
When I shut down Windows, and restart without goinb into Snow Leoprad, the boot process go OK without Chkdsk running.
But whenever I shut fown Winodws and use Snow Leopard, then get back in to startup Windows, Chdsk run again. This is very annoyingm, and never occured in 10.5
During Chkdsk session, the following errors occured and being fixed:
Deleting index entry ._501 in index $I30 of file 9028
Deleting index entry 501 in index $I30 of file 9028
and after all process finished, Chkdsk stated that: There is a blank space that allocated as used, and has been fixed.
Can any friend advise me what cause this problem? and How to correct it?
I understanfd that the ._501 is in .Trashes folder on Windows partiton. It must be altered wwhen I use Snow Leopard, and must have to do with Trash in Mac OSX 10.6.
Can any friend advise me how to solve this problem? Thank in advance

The problem is repeatable. The same index and file to be deleted by Chkdsk remain unchanged every time I boot Windows under bootcamp after using Mac OS. If I reboot Windows many many times without using Mac OS, the error never occur.
It must be Mac OSX Snow Leopard that is the culprit. Can any friend give me solution of how to solve this problem?
When I try booting Windows in Parallels the boot is OK

After restarting firefox all tabs go under startup window and all other windows are gone

ok, so i have 5 or 6 different windows with firefox's new tab feature. Each windows has about 6 websites/tabs in them. Whenever i close and reopen firefox all the tabs go under the startup window, and all other windows are gone.
Should firefox 4 not restart with all windows and all tabs under the correct window?

HP P6203W CPU fan error on startup windows 7 32bit system

Hi there guys !
I got this HP computer for about a year now and since changing my broken CPU fan i got a CPU fan error on startup.
I have got a HP P6203W
MOBO: Pegatron Narra5
Bios: phoenix technologies 5.55 12/08/2009
I wanted to reduce some noise from my computer by replacing the CPU fan,
so i changed the original fan for a Noiseblocker-Multiframe M8-S1.
Now when i start up the computer; the fan slowly turns around , and i then got an CPU fan error before windows fired up. I can get past it by pressing F2 but its annoying to do so every time i start up. Plus I don't think the fan is turning fast enough.
I already tried checking cpu fan settings in the bios, but i have the blocked bios.
No fan settings here.
Do one of you guys have any clue about how to get my CPU fan working properly again or maybe a bios update for my motherboard ?
Any help would be very much appreciated !
thanks for your time

Hello willibrord87,
There isn't a BIOS update available for your motherboard so that is not going to be an option.
On some BIOS you have the ability to disable the system from checking the CPU Fan to avoid the error. If it's there it would be under Advanced menu and then a sub menu called Hardware Monitor. HP like many manufacturers lock out settings to avoid users changing settings to much in the BIOS so the system may not have the option. Since you said you already checked the settings I'm assuming we can skip this.
So it brings us to the motherboard. The CPU fan plug on the motherboard is a 12v connector, the Noiseblocker you have starts a slow ramp up based on this link http://goo.gl/6jsgn it says it's a start voltage of only 5v. I'm thinking that since the CPU fan is not starting up quick enough the motherboard is failing out and giving the CPU fan error. In the end the error is not a real error because once the CPU fan actually works then it's good to go.
You may want to try a different CPU fan that has a quicker spin up, or at least move that CPU fan to another system to see if it exhibits the same slow spin up.

SSMS 2014 crashes on startup - Windows 8.1

I had it working briefly, and I suspect some Visual Studio Nuget packages may have screwed it up. Both SSMS 2014 and Visual Studio 2013 stopped working at the same time, although I managed to fix VS by uninstalling and reinstalling. The same
has not worked with SQL Server.
On startup of SSMS I get the message "SQL Server Management Studio has stopped working".

Thanks, but I'm not paying $499 for MS to get their software to work out of the box.
You need not pay to get the fix from Microsoft. It would be refunded back to you when case is closed. You need to tell this to engineer that the case is only to get a fix and need to be marked as "non-decrement"
But, if you need any troubleshooting assistance, then it would be a paid support.

I already searched on the web and tried these things before i was out of thoughts and wrote this message:
- Remove Photoshop + Illustrator and ran the removal (cleanup) tool from Adobe and reinstalled everything
- Reinstalled my graphics card (nVidia GTX 560 ti)
- Scanned on virus and spyware with Combofix & Malwarebytes
- Reinstalled Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable X64 11.0.61030
- deactivated all windows services and startup programs in MSCONFIG
I also made 2 dump files from task manager
- one from the application tab (Werfault.dmp about 90 Mb large)
- one from out of the service tab (illustrator.dmp about 700Mb large)
If you need them or just one of them just let me know how i send them.
nothing have gave any solution at all. I ran out of ideas and forums with the same error so this is sort of my last help.
Thanks in advance

Hello Pureweb,
Please upload the crashdumps on some file sharing website say Dropbox and share the link with us by sending a mail to "[email protected]". We will analyze the dump and will suggest you the workaround appropriately.
In parallel, please check that you do not have any 3rd Party plugins installed in it. Please try to remove them one-by-one and see which one causes the crashes or do reverse i.e. remove all the 3rd party plugins. Or Uninstall Ai and check at following location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014
Please verify that nothing is left at above location on uninstalling Ai. Then try a fresh install and see if Ai works.
Also, verify that you have the updated Wacom drivers on your system. This might be an issue with the 3rd party program as well. One of the user who was having a similar issue reported on the Ai forum that one of the 3rd party Stahl's ImageWorx DTG RIP - a program for printing to a Direct To Garment printer was causing the issue. So, you may check if the similar thing is not happening in your case.
Regards,
Dhirendra

Password error at laptop startup windows 8.1

Firstly, I cannot understand why MS is so intrusive and over the top in password control at startup.
My machine, and software and I paid for it, therefore I own it together with the right to use it and all its software without interference from some mega-maniacal giant like microsoft!
The only time I should need to login to MS is if I wish to visit the Store or request assistance!
My story,
4 days ago I spilt a glass of sweet sherry over my Acer Aspire 5742 keyboard.
The laptop went dead.
Dismantled laptop to MB, cleaned up sprayed out with isopropyl alcohol rebuilt and all ok.
KB slightly sticky.
Login to laptop rejected, nothing worked. Second computer onhand reset windows PW went back to laptop- no success.
It would seem that the internal Registry control is at fault (my guess) - laptop connected to internet.
Can anyone help.
Thanks, Happy New Year All.

Hi, Roger
Sorry, two problems.
Firstly, with the keyboard malfunctioning it was impossible to blind type the password into the Microsoft account.
When trying to fix the keyboard issue it was necessary to restart or reboot the laptop this caused the requirement to login to the Microsoft account which was impossible. Because I was unable to correct typing because the pw is not visible. Hence my suggestion
that the pw field should be visible text.
I had switched off the requirement for users to login at startup.
My question is “why am I forced by Microsoft to login to my Microsoft account at Startup?”
My observation is that this should not be the case and further that I should not be denied access to my computer.
The keyboard issue is hardware, which I am still struggling with, could software be an issue as well, do you think?
Do you think a replacement keyboard will fix the kb problem?
I have connected a ms wireless kb and mouse via USB to the laptop but the random input errors still occur. This unit works very well on a separate desktop.
Your comments and observations would be most welcome.

Itunes crashing on startup - Windows 8.1

Hi since upgrading to Windows 8.1 I've had nothing but problems with itunes. Since downloading the latest Microsoft release for 8.1 my Itunes constantly crashes on startup. I've tried removing and reinstalling itunes, still didnt work. I then tried running itunes in various compatibility modes eg windows 7 etc, still not working. To be honest I feel this is a poor show that two major worldwide programs fail to work together on Windows 8.1. Any help in getting itunes to work would be gratefully received. Thanks J

Tomcat 4.0, startup, windows me

Hi,
Is there anyone who is using tomcat 4.0 to develop JSP under windows me?
My problem is that I even can't start tomcat.
After I run "startup.bat" under d:\tomcat40\bin, it opens 1 MS-DOS window. Few seconds, it opens another MS-DOS window, but that window disappears soon.
Then the first window indicated that it has finished, and the screen's print is:
"Using CATALINA_BASE: d:\tomcat40
Using CATALINA_HOME: d:\tomcat40
Using CLASSPATH: d:\tomcat40\bin\bootstrap.jar;d:\jdk1.3.1_02\lib\tools.jar
Using JAVA_HOME: d:\jdk1.3.1_02"
I don't know what's going on.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks ahead!

You could try giving more memory to the initial
enviroment. I use 4096.Under /bin/ directory, there are 8 .bat files.
After I set "startup.bat" 's memory property to be 4096, the problem remains same, ie. the second window disappear soon.
I tried to execute "catalina.bat" under /bin/ directory, the output is:
"Using CATALINA_BASE: d:\tomcat40
Using CATALINA_HOME: d:\tomcat40
Using CLASSPATH: d:\tomcat40\bin\bootstrap.jar;d:\jdk1.3.1_02\lib\tools.jar

How do i get past black screen on startup (windows xp 32bit)

Hello, i am using an HP Pavillion a6119h OS windows xp 32bit. When i turn on my computer it will reach the blue startup screen, but after that screen is gone it goes blank and stays blank. I've tried F11 to do system recovery but it won't go to system recovery. I've tried F8, and i've tried to boot from disc, but it won't do anything. Please help me.

dsl1989,
Did you follow the steps exactly listed here that pertain to using Recovery discs?
1) Turn on the computer, if it is not already on, and insert the first recovery disc labeled #1.After the first disc is in the drive and the drive is closed, turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
2) With the computer off, disconnect all connected devices and cables such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax. Remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord .
3) Turn on the computer. The computer opens the Recovery Manager program.

CS5 freezes on startup (Windows 7)

I'm considering making the jump from Vegas Pro 8 to Premiere. Downloaded the 30-day Trial for PPro CS5; it installs fine, but freezes on startup.
I've read everything I can find on this, tried all the ideas I've come across, but still no go; so I'm looking for more ideas!
THE FAILURE:
On launch, PPro displays the splash screen, whizzes through all the plugin loading, draws the main UI background, draws the main menubar text... then freezes up. It never crashes, just stops drawing and stops responding to Windows. Same results from both 5.0 and 5.0.2.
THE HARDWARE:
Asus Sabretooth x58 motherboard
Core i7 960 CPU (quad-core @ 3.2GHz)
12GB RAM
Dual-SSD main drive (RAID-0 on SATA-6Gb/s)
GeForce 9800GTX video card
Onboard Realtek HD Audio
THE SOFTWARE:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all system software updates)
Nvidia drivers 260.99 (latest, 10/16/2010)
OS was installed about a month ago, so it's pretty clean.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
Ran DXDIAG - No errors found.
Deleted PPro Prefs
Checked PPro logs - no errors found
Installed latest Nvidia drivers
Removed Nvidia drivers (back to Win 7 default drivers)
Ran as admin
Removed fonts
No Quicktime Installed
Installed Quicktime (7.6.8)
Disabled second monitor
Disabled antivirus/firewall (Symantec Endpoint Protection)
Installed Combined Community Codec Pack
Removed CCCP
Removed virtual DVD software (Virtual CloneDrive)
Removed DVD burning software (ImgBurn)
What else am I missing? It's probably something obvious and dumb and I'm just looking around it. Any other info that would help? I could post my DXDIAG results, but I didn't see anything relevant in there.
Thanks a ton for any help!

Installing Bulk Codec Packs has been an issue of many systems around here.
Do a little search in this Forum eg "CODEC PACKS"
Can you try uninstalling it and see how things work for you. Common advice and wisdom seems to be that it is difficult to do and often requires a reinstall of the O.S as well as the Adobe software. Hope thats not so for you.

InDesign CS4 Crashes at Startup Windows 7

I just moved to a new computer at work (Windows 7) and installed CS4 Design Standard. All programs (PhotoShop, Illustrator and Acrobat) except InDesign will open and work fine. InDesign crashes when the startup panel shows "Starting up Service Registry..."
When I login with my local administrator user profile (no server access) InDesign opens with no errors however anytime I try to open it using my main user profile (also an administrator profile but without access to our server) InDesign crashes at "Starting up Service Registry" and will not open.
I am nearly ready to pull my hair out. Your help is appreciated.

I have just learned that Adobe DOES NOT provide support for CS4 without payment! Adobe, you received payment when I bought the software. Now you want more? I could understand if I were on a relic (CS3 or heaven forbid CS2) but 1 version back and no support!? Well, thank you VERY much Adobe.
Working for a small non-profit that cannot afford to upgrade each time a new version comes out we expect support! What does it say about your customer service and your confidence in your software that you don't support the previous version?!?
I try to be an understanding person, but I cannot understand this.

Skype 7.6 crashes on startup Windows 8.1

Hello, I've been having this problem for over a week, have searched these forums and have tried multiple solutions that have been posted on different threads regarding skype crashing on startup, but to no avail. When I start up skype, I get the spinning wheel and then a message that says "Skype has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, etc." I have tried reinstalling skype, installing various versions, and nothing seems to work. I'm running IE11 with default settings and my Adobe Flash is up to date. To expedite this process, I have ran the dxdiag.exe and have attached a .zip of the file. Also, I booted my computer in safe mode and tried running Skype 7.6, and got this specific error message. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.
