Unable to Load Windows 7 after a power failure

My windows 7 workstation was in a sleep mode when a power failure happened. after trying to power up the machine it tries to resume windows session but stucks after displaying an error unable to find saved session. it gives an option to either delete saved
session and boot or locate the session, but none of the periferal devices are responding, so I am unable to select either option.
I have a standard 102 logitech keyboard connected to that workstation. it works wen I select to enter a bios on the start up, but does not respond to any other prompts.
Any advice?

In addition, try to boot into safe mode and check the results.

Unable to Load Windows After System Restore from BIOS freeze

I have a pavilion G6 that froze after a BIOS Update ran. Here's what happened and here is what I did:
Uninstalled HP printer software; upon reboot, BIOS Update appeared and ran.
Upon reboot, Win 7 froze @ Welcome screen.
I was instructed this am on this forum to press F8 and do a system restore, which I did.
This appeared to work until about 30 mins ago when it began freezing again and opening to Safe Mode screen.
Now what??

Hi
Workaround:
There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
Restart and tap F2. F2 will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
Fix if BIOS Management is not available
i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
iii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
   If none of the above worked then most likely we need to bench the notebook as system will not boot from recovery discs.
Let us know how it goes!

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open????

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

How do I get my system to auto start-up after a power failure?

Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 J200 desktop that I'm using as a file server. Currently I have to physically press the start button after a power failure, before the system will boot. This isn't much help if the power dips in the night or when I'm away..
Is there a setting in the BIOS or similar that I can set to automatically boot up when power is restored to the box?
Many thanks
Adrian

Too bad no one offered a solution. I tried to use the "Wake on Event" to have the PC boot itself, but the only option is a one-time event. This is an unacceptable oversight on Lenovo's part. Missing is the option to have this a recurring event such as every day. Others report the same frustration. I have this H3 PC in a remote location 1200 miles away, and when AC power loss occurs, I have to travel a great distance just to push the power button.

Problem with iMacs loading web pages slowly after a power failure

We have 3 intel Macs (2 iMacs and a MB) on our network.
Today we had a power failure, and now we are having problems with both iMacs loading some web pages slowly (in Safari and Firefox both). I have shutdown and restarted both iMacs to no avail. As you will notice, I have not experienced any problems with my MB probably because the battery never allowed it to shut down completely.
Can you give me any indication of what the problem is or how I can go about troubleshooting this further?
Thank you in advance.

It does sound like it could be a WiFi issue. You can try rebooting your router and that might help. It just might your Internet connection or the router itself. If the router is bad, you can replace it. If its the Internet connection - you can only do what you ISP allows you to do.

Adobe DPS: unable to load media after video montage.

Hi there,
I am currently using Adobe Indesign CS6 with the latest update of the Folio panel and work on a digital magazine in which I imported some videos in different extensions (*.mov and *.mp4).
Everything worked fine on iPad, but everytime I make a video montage using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, a message error "Unable to load media. Please check your internet connection or try again later" appeared on my iPad screen.
I exported my media from Adobe Premiere in *.mp4 using H.264 codecs for Apple TV/iPad/iPhone, dimension 1280 x 720 and also tried with 1024 x 768, but that didn't work.
Then, I imported my original videos without any montage making on DPS, they work fine. One of the original video has an extension *.mov and the other one *.mp4.
I followed the steps that I read on DPS forums by some users facing the same issue, but that didn't make good results.
So, is there anything I have missed in Adobe premiere Pro CS6 as after making video montage, my iPad always displays the message error? and why each time I use the same two videos without passing through Adobe Premiere, I can play the video without trouble?

I tried both softwares Handbreake and Adobe Media Encoder CS6 to render my final editing but it always failed.
However, I restarted my whole video project using a free easy-to-use video editing software I downloaded from the internet, now it works fine on ipad with *.mov extension.
By the way, Adobe Indesign does not support *.m4v.
Anyway, I will go on trying to figure out what's the flaw in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Thanks anyway _Felipe!

I am unable to load games after sync?!

thank you

I was trying to update to IOS 5 but the operation didn't start after doign the sync oiperation
On your iPhone tap Settings > General > About
If it's not 5.0 then the update did not finish.
You can re sync your apps using iTunes.
Never disconnect an iOS device such as your iPhone when syncing with iTunes on your compter until the process is completed.

Cannot Start EPM Architect Process Manager after a Power Failure

Hey All,
We had a power failure in the office last night/this morning. We have two environments, and luckily, our production environment seems to be working OK, however, on our development environment, we cannot get the EPM Architect Process Manager to start (or any of the associated services).
Here is what we have tried already:
- Restarting the server
- Restarting all services in the correct order
- Running EPM System Configurator for Performance Management Architect > Configure Database (the first time, we just re-used the same tables, and had the same error. We did it a second time and dropped the tables and were able to get the service (and all other EPMA services) to start, but we couldn't get into the Application or Dimension Library.
- Restoring the EPMA DB schema from backup from two nights ago - same error when trying to restart the service.
We are running 11.1.1.3 (04 patches for Planning and CalcManager, but not EPMA). We are running MS SQL 2005 for the relational databases.
Error message when restarting the service:
"The Hyperion EPM Architect - Process Manager service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically..."
When we go to the event viewer, it tells us:
Service cannot be started. Hyperion.DimensionServer.ProcessManager.Interface.ProcessManagerException: Dimension Server started but failed to initialize on machine CSHMISHYPTST. Check the error log on that machine.

Looking for some suggestions or ideas. Have tried searching the forums and Google, but haven't had any success.

Can't activate windows after hard drive failure.

I'm attempting to revive a less than year old laptop for a friend after a harddrive failure.... toshiba drive was dead dead.
Has a windows 8 sticker on bottom so can only assume that's what it came with, but windows claims the product key stored in bios has been blocked and will not activate.
Have tried 8, 8pro and 8.1 with no success. is it possible this machine came with the "Bing" version of windows?
Owner is not computer savy so can't believe he did anything to alter the slic table in the bios...... even flashed it with the latest bios version with no change.
After googling the product key that comes up "xky4k-2nrwr-8f6p2-448rf-cryqh" using more than one product key tool, seems its listed all over the internet. Is this what should be on this machine?
Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

Hi:
You have to use W8.1 OEM installation media.
Anything you can find on the internet is for retail versions of W8/8.1.
You will need to either get your hands on the above media or order a set of recovery disks from HP.
To order recovery media, click on the link below, select the W8.1 drivers and then click to expand the line labeled Order Recovery Media.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-g000-Notebook-PC-series/6545564/model/6761879/drivers
Why didn't your friend contact HP to get this matter taken care of? Wasn't the notebook still under warranty after less than a year?

Grub not working after HD power failure

Topic says it all.. i already fsck'd the disks and all files are readable...
But after reinstalling grub (and even after doing a complete reinstall of the base system including grub install) i get a "NOT A SYSTEM DISK" error...
I have no clue how to solve this... as grub isnt even trying to start up...

Hi,
a defect PSU could also be the cause for both of your problems. It would explain the HDD power failure as well the changes in the BIOS (assuming your CMOS battery is empty).
You better check this first

After a power failure, all the messages (or what appears to be all of then, 5K+) were in the inbox marked unread and all the folders were gone. HELP!!!

A long power failure shut down my wife's system without shutting down Windows. When she started it, all her email messages were in her Inbox and marked unread. She previously had 25 or 30 folders; they're all gone. This is an IMAP account synced with Gmail. When I looked at the profile folder with Windows Explorer, only a few of the folder files (including .MSF) were there; the rest of the folders were listed as files, not folders (both the no-extension and .MSF files for each). Oddly enough, all the folders seem to be in the POP3 folder, but it isn't a POP3 account. This is a major major problem. Please help me solve it.

Thank you for such a prompt reply, Matt. I don't think that would work (although I'm not sure) because the folders don't exist on the Gmail server, just on her computer (and our backup hard drive). We use Gmail so we can get our mail when we're traveling, but don't store any messages there. We save them in folders on our home systems and delete them from the Gmail server. I hope against hope that there is some way I can recover her folders; she's really upset by this, email is mostly what she uses the system for to keep in contact with our children and her siblings. I'm going to copy the entire profile folder to a thumb drive because the backup software will overwrite the current files on the backup hard drive at 0300 tomorrow. It sounds like I'm not likely to find a simple solution to this, but I hope those with more (much more) knowledge than I possess can show me that I'm wrong and it can be solved.

Unable to load DLL after Impersonating (0x80070542)

I have an application that prompts a user for credentials and impersonates the user before taking some action on that user's behalf. However, when I try to call some framework methods that require .NET to load a native DLL, the call fails with the
following error:
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'secur32.dll': Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided impersonation level is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070542)
I've simplified the duplication scenario down to the following:
this.userToken = IntPtr.Zero;
bool authenticated =
Win32.LogonUser(
username,
domain,
password,
LogonTypes.Network,
LogonProviders.Default,
out userToken);
if (authenticated)
this.impersonationContext =
WindowsIdentity.Impersonate(this.userToken);
// This call blows up:
string userDomain = Environment.UserDomainName;
If I make a call to Environment.UserDomainName before impersonating, no exception is thrown (presumably the DLL is loaded before impersonation, so no attempt is made afterwards).

Hi Travis,
I'm writing to check the issue status, please feel free to let us know if you have any concern.

Eric

Bootcamp not loading windows after installation

Hi there! I have an iMac 27" with bootcamp 5.0.3 and OSX 10.8.4. I followed the instructions to install bootcamp. And everything went smooth. Up to the very end of windows 7 installation when it complained I did not have the proper disk. I just retried and it worked.
So I was able to get to win 7, and then install the additional software from the USB drive. Problem is:
When I restart my mac pressing the Option key, there's no disk selection for me. I can't load windows anymore.
Any ideas?
Ps: I'm pretty sure I'll be able to load using the Startup disk, but I'd like to be able to choose the OS at startup time.
Regards

Hi
Apologies for the confusion the problem occured when I was using just 384Mb DDR PC2100 memory (2 memory sticks); I switched them for just one stick of memory (512Mb DDR PC2700) and when I found that the problem still remained I decided to use all three memory sticks as it seemed evident that the memory wasn't causing the problem.
To address your second suggestion when I connected the Maxtor HDD I set it as a slave on the drive and connected it to the middle IDE 0 Flat cable connector and shortly thereafter the problem reasserted itself.
Thankyou.

APC UPS: Xseve not rebooting after a power failure

Xserve 2.26 GHZ OS X server 10.6.4
Energy Saver-UPS connected USB to APC smart UPS set to shut down 5 min before UPS out of power.
On a power failure (lots these days in the islands!), the Xserve does not reboot upn power restore.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you install software for the Less-Interruptable Power Supply (LIPS), or are you running with the integrated capabilities? (There is add-on software that can be installed used here, though the integrated LIPS support within Mac OS X Server works correctly with Mac OS X Server 10.5 and 10.6 and APC Smart-UPS devices on the Xserve boxes I deal with.)
Was the key lock engaged on the server when you set this up?
Definitely check the rack LIPS configuration settings too, as some of these LIPS boxes are seriously programmable.
The settings are visible via the pmset and ipmitool tools; [here are pmset and ipmitool examples|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1045], as well as some information on sending email and such.
