Vista won't start after fresh install of LabVIEW & 4G RAM

Since Vista is such a memory glutton I decided to upgrade my AMD64 box to 4 Gig RAM.  Good idea, no?  Turns out not.  Now Vista won't start.  It locks up at the (lack of) progress bar before the log-in screen.  After much hollerin' and hair pullin' I reinstalled Vista and now it sees 3.25 Gig.  I install updates; everything looks good; I install LabVIEW 8.0 and activate it.  At restart WinDoze Vista won't start.  Now I want to scream.  My Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) partition runs fine and indicates 3.9 Gig RAM. 
What is LabVIEW installing that has caused this?  Does anybody have a place to start looking?
Thank You for reading my rantings
LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
aut viam inveniam aut faciam

Well, NI doesn't claim LabVIEW 8.0 is Vista compatible.
If you did the full install, you probably also installed Device Drivers and such. If you used the ones released with 8.0, they are definitely not Vista compatible.  Those device drivers will try to load during Vista bootup.  If you did, you will need to do a clean uninstall following this procedure.  Download the latest drivers from NI's website and see if that fixes your problem.

  • [Solved] X11 won't start after fresh install

    Hihi!
    I've been using Debian for quite some time now but I want to switch to Arch. My notebook is fairly modern and this doesn't mix well with Debian and as such my dGPU is basically unusable. My preferred method of installing Debian is to start headless so I felt quite at home with Arch and got through the install just fine, but I'm having problems launching Openbox among other hardware related issues. I spent yesterday googling and attempting fixes but came up with nothing, so I had to reinstall Debian as I was counting on having a usable computer at the end of the day. I did write down the messages I was getting though, hopefully they are enough to diagnose the issue. My hardware:
    AMD A10-5750M (8650G graphics)
    AMD Radeon 8970M 2GB
    The kernel was the one in the very latest install snapshot (3.12-9 or something)
    The first thing I noticed after booting into the fresh install was a warning along these lines
    [drm:r600_dma_ring_test] radeon: ring 3 test failed
    I ignored it, and preceeded to install the following packages
    xorg-server
    xorg-utils
    xorg-xinit
    mesa
    xf86-video-ati
    openbox
    openbox-themes
    other things related to the UI I wanted
    The ring 3 test warning still occured on reboot after installing X and the radeon drivers. Again I ignored it. My .xinitrc was simply exec openbox-session
    I ran startx and it failed, and got a bunch of errors that began right after a reference to "radeon" and the kernel. My xorg log did not get far at all. In fact the last lines were
    (II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)
    (II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card1)
    And that was literally the end of the log. This is clearly a GPU/driver issue, probably with the 8970M as card1 seems to be the last line? Any help is appreciated
    edit: This is the same process I use to install Debian, and using this exact same kernel (plus the Debian patches) I can start X just fine. my dGPU is unusable with the FOSS drivers through as there is no glamor support in Debian. I get segfaults whenever I launch something with DRI_PRIME=1 after setting the 8970M as the offload provider

    Ok I installed fresh and had the same issues as last time. With KMS early start I still have the same problems launching X and I still have the ring 3 test error (it just appears earlier).
    There is nothing pure text in /var/log, I don't know if theres a way to use systemd with wgetpaste, so I took a picture that is hopefully not to difficult to read. I tried to sharpen it up a bit in GIMP.
    *see pastebin below*
    I also noticed that I get that ring 3 error even when I boot up the Arch installer  via USB. I wonder if I should try an older image with an older kernel?

  • Portege R830 - Windows won't start after I install Comodo Firewall

    Good afternoon,
    I purchased today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration was over, the first program I installed was the popular free firewall Comodo. After I rebooted, Windows 7 wouldn't start anymore. It would get stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I make a system restore to the restore point created by the firewall installer, the windows will start again.
    So I ask if there is any incompability between the firewall and some software on the Toshiba. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've been trying to solve this issue all day long with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba recovery and the issue persists. I really love Comodo, and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows just won't start!
    Any help would be very apreciated.

    Hi jillefsky,
    Have you disabled the Windows firewall before you started with Comodo firewall installation? As far as I know Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you should remove this program before you install any other security tools.
    Generally speaking this issue has nothing to do with Toshiba and its recommendable to contact Comodo directly. Maybe they know about this issue so they can give you a proper answer.
    But I dont understand why this program is so important for you. Windows has already an internal firewall so such programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus program like AntiVir and activate automatic Windows updates. Thats all!

  • Apache won't start after ColdFusion Install

    Any suggestions on what to look for, as to why Apache will
    not start after installing ColdFusion MX Dev Edition on a Win 2003
    Server? Is there something in a log file I could look at? Any help
    is appreciated. Also, when I take the JRUN mod out of the Config
    file, Apache starts back up..
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If you're using Apache 2.2+ and CFMX 7+, then you need to
    apply
    a
    hotfix for CF.
    Once you update the wsconfig.jar file, re-run the Web Server
    Configuration Tool. Remove the old Apache mapping and create a new
    one.

  • IPhoto won't open after fresh instal of Lion!

    I recently erased my hard drive and did a fresh install of Lion as I am giving my MacBook Pro to my brother as a Xmas present. I used a USB pen to reinstall Lion. I used my time MAchine backup to bring over iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband. Everything works apart from iPhoto. It says "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Thing is iLife came bundled on my Mac and i did not have to buy it from the App Store. Everything is up to date but it just won;t open. Can anyone help explain why this maybe and help me fix the problem?
    Thanks

    Try holding down the Command + Option keys then launch iPhoto.
    Select:   Repair the iPhoto Library Data base then click Rebuild.

  • Boot Camp: Mac Pro won't start after Windows install

    After installing Boot Camp on a Mac Pro dual 2.66 (firmware updated), XP installer went through installation & copying files, then restarted. Went to a black screen with white Windows-style text that said something along the lines of "XP cannot start from this CD, press any key to restart." Totally unresponsive, held down power to restart. Will no longer power up. Have reset the SMC without any effect. Makes a brief sound when trying to start, but does not actually start up.
    Is there any known power issue that I might be able to solve myself, or is the supply likely blown?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I put Vista on its own dedicated drive, 64GB Vista, the rest as FAT32 to make it easier to share files. I had to remove the OS X drives in order to allow Windows/Vista to install. Once installed, had a black screen and some blue crash screen, until I ran the BootCamp driver updates.
    I would try unplugging your drive(s) first and see if you boot from Tiger Installer DVD - or better, boot Apple Hardware Test (hold down "d" on startup from Install Disk #1).

  • Ohasd not starting after fresh install

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With the Real Application Clusters and Automatic Storage Management options on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) 11.0.
    After installation all cluster and resources were up, I could log in to database. I have restarted orcl1 node, and after boot the ohasd service is not started. Same is with orcl0 node. When I start manually, the cluster comes up. See below:
    grid@orcl1:~> crsctl check has

  • Problem with MTRR - X doesn't start after fresh install

    Hi all!
    I have a big problem with MTRR, i think...
    My PC Specs: P4 3GHZ with HT "prescot", Asus P4S800D-X, ATI x1650 Pro, 1024MB Ram Dual Channel, etc...
    I can't start the X system. When i try to try the new Xorg.conf, the X seems to start but the screen stays blank and sometimes can i go back to TTY and sometimes not...
    I've tryed with the following drivers and no luck.
    - Vesa: Blank Screen, sometimes keyboard works and sometimes not.
    - RadeonHD: The same...
    - Radeon (or ati): The same...
    At the end of the Xorg.0.log, i see the MTRR problem. the memory from the VGA Card is not detected automatically. The "cat /proc/mtrr" differs from ubuntu 8.04, when the X server works correctly.
    Ive been reading a lot in google and others forum and see a lots of tricks related to MTRR (but im not completly sure of that's the problem...) but every trick i try doesn't seems to work.
    I tryed the following tricks:
    - Adding the memory to /proc/mtrr manually = Added correctly but NO LUCK
    - Activate/Deactivate HotPlugging = NO LUCK
    - Adding to my boot line the "nopat" and "enable_mtrr_cleanup = MTRR keeps showing wrong memory (no video memory)
    - After adding correctly the memory to MTRR  try the xorg.conf but blank screen (i dunno if xorg rewrites the mtrr when run)
    - Some others tricks i cant remember...
    Also, with the radeonhd, i get this errors in xorg.0.log:
    - rhdAtomgetDDCIndex: GPIO_DDC Index 14 exceeds maximum 5
    - RHDCSStop: Command Submission backen is not active!
    - error setting MTRR ( base... blablabla) Invalid argument (22)
    That's not my first install, but i can't make it work. As i readed, it's a kernel problem related to 2.6.29, in 2.6.28 there's no problem but i dont have access to the old kernel.
    Can someone help my or i need to wait for a new kernel release to use Arch?
    Bye!

    I can't solve your problem, but I can help you work around it by downgrading if nobody else can figure it out.
    You can find old packages here at the Arch Rollback Machine project repo someone thankfully keeps running,
    http://arm.nrk.cc/
    Just go to 'core' and get the package(s) you need and downgrade. There is also a thread on here somewhere about setting up pacman.conf to point to a specific date with ARM if you don't want to get individual stuff manually, but just doing it individually would probably be easier, as I don't expect the kernel has too many other things you need

  • X4150 hypertown won't boot after fresh install

    I was able to finally install Solaris u4 on it. After install, I reboot. I booted it with -sv option and the last thing I see is:
    cpuid 0: initialized cpumod: cpu.generic
    Now it reboots. No error messages or panics.
    I am able to boot up going into failsafe mode from GRUB.
    I have a LSI PCIe internal HBA installed. Are there some drivers its missing? I believe the LSI RAID drivers are installed (from looking at /var/sadm/pkg packages).
    Any ideas?

    x4150 is a nightmare for me.
    to fix the reboot problem, you need to apply 2 patches
    125370-06
    127112-05
    I applied the latest patch cluster and the reboot problem fixed.
    however, I couldn't boot up the machine EVERYTIME, it only work once in a couple of reboot.

  • Hal failing to start after fresh install of gnome

    Hello, im fairly new to Arch, and i just got everything working and just installed gnome desktop.
    Well i went to go restart HAL  so i could startx and got this error
    EXT3-fs error (device sda3): read_block_bitmap  FAIL
    Is there something i should change or get rid of to get hal to start.
    When i do /etc/rc,d/hal start i get this
    EXT3-fs error (device sda3) : read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 14. block_bitmap = 458752
    Any help is much appreciated

    This looks like a hardware issue.  Maybe an "fsck" will fix this...

  • Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

    My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

    If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
    I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
    Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
    So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.

  • Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

    Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    HEllo,
    I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
    I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
    ALready tnx.
    Francus

    Hello, yogendra k saini
    I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
    Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
    but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...
