Windows 7 start failure

when I attempt to start windows 7 the DOS screen shows ACER logo but fails to start windows. On loading windows 7 disk repair function starts windows but on shutting down the problem starts all over again.

Hi,
Or you can try other advanced startup options while startup fails, such as startup repair, last known good configuration and check issue again.

Can't fsck to get past hang at 'Login Window Starting' at start up

Someone in the OS X forum suggested I might try posting this here.
I have an old clamshell ibook that I upgraded (added more memory) in order to load OS X. After I loaded OS X 10.3 and started up, the updater told me that an update was available. I downloaded it and began the update...my battery died in mid update. Now when I start up, it gets to "login window starting" and stalls. I have tried Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk (nothing really to repair). I have used Disk Warrior and this tells me that my directory needs to be rebuilt, I have rebuilt it, restarted and the same thing happens. When I go back to disk warrior, it tells me the directory needs to be repaired and this just repeats.
I have tried a safe startup and the start up stalls at the same "login window starting" point. I have tried starting in single-user mode and I get a long pause, then alot of characters, but the cursor never allows me to type the fsck commands. I have tried resetting the Power Managment Unit (to no avail). One of the lines that shows up when I start up in single-user mode is in yellow and says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ApplePMU." Which I took to mean was a problem with the power management unit.
To make matters worse, I have only the original 3 gb hard drive in the ibook and therefore no space to install os x with an archived copy of the system's current software. I have tried resetting PRAM and I have shut down by holding the power switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Brian,
Alas, no...this is one of the original clamshells. I have found that I can force the ibook to start up from an old OS 9 install cd and see the hard drive on the desktop/access files, so I have saved my critical data to a usb removable drive. The crisis is averted and I'm thinking of trying to get back to OS X through a series of installs and updates starting with the OS 9 install disk. If this fails, I'll just do a clean install of OS X and reload everything.
Thanks, Chris

Satellite L300 - Disk.sys error on Windows start up

I got my recovery disk today inserted and after a couple of reboots I managed to to get the Advanced menu F8. I selected option for Safe Mode with command prompt. The window started to load various windows drivers etc. It has now stopped at the line of code with a please wait and has been like this for over 2hours.
Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys
I booted up in VGA mode same
I tried last known good configuration no joy.
what's left for me to do it is obvious that I have a bad driver how do I interrupt the command prompt and run chdisk or check for corrupt drivers etc.
If I have to reload the OS can this be downloaded from microsoft or is it chargeable.
If anyone has any new ideas I would be very grateful need to get this sorted.
thanks
Franco

Hi TwoLags,
as you can see from the paper trail I originally could not get into advanced mode the forum suggested I purchased a recovery disk . The disk now allows me to get into F8 and advanced mode if I choose safe mode it scrolls through all the drivers but halts at \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys with a please wait message in the windows bar.
I have tried booting up in safe mode with cmd prompt same,last known good config dark screen?.
My question is what happens next am I looking at a complete OS reinstall which I don't have windows vista home premium edition 32 bit.
Surely there must be a way of intreput the safe mose cmd and run a disk check to repair any corrupted files etc.
cheers
Frank

HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
1) Format windows 7 os
2) Delete All partition and re-create
3) Re-install windows 7
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.
"SuperJbye replied on July 14, 2013
Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Did you have Cloud start failures or a missing health monitor?

Calling all CQ Cloud'ers.
Hi, My name is Gary Gilchrist. I work with the engineering team for Adobe CQ Cloud.
Today I was running some diagnostics on our site. I see that there are a lot of you out there who have got as far as starting your own CQ Cloud. Congratulations!
But I also see a number of Clouds that have been attempted to be started by different tenants (that's you :)) and never made it as far as the "running" state. There are sometimes good reasons for this, sometimes related to configuration of your Amazon AWS key information. But we're still in Beta and I must admit, we know of a few bugs we still need to iron out.
I also see that some Clouds were started successfully, yet I do not see the automatic health monitoring that we record for your Cloud. We do that after a Cloud starts so that you can see the CPU, Memory and Disk health of your CQ instances running in your Cloud. You should see this as little green bars in your Cloud detail page.
I have two questions:
Did you attempt to start a Cloud (and you believe your AWS credential is valid) yet it failed to completely start up?
Did you start a Cloud successfully, yet you continued to see "unavailable" (gray bar) as the heath status for ALL the CQ instances in your Cloud? (please note that health monitoring for the Dispatcher is not working. It will fixed with our next update to the site, coming shortly).
If you did encounter 1 or 2 above please drop a reply on this thread giving only the name of your Cloud (no other personal information necessary) plus anything else you think is useful. We would like to look into it.
Thanks from the whole team here at Adobe for trying out CQ Cloud!
Gary.

Windows update failures over the past several months

I'm having the same issues regarding windows update failures as many documented in this forum. I have run the repairs recommended, drive scans, etc. with no success. I'm at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice. I have
zipped up the files recommended and posted them on my skydrive site. That location is https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C1221863E15FBC11&id=C1221863E15FBC11%211274.
Please help. Joe Collins

at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice.
You may be right. Try eliminating WU from a symptom description. E.g. pick one of the updates which is available as a download and try installing it that way. Just use WU as a guide for what you should download and install manually.
I imagine that if that works eventually WU will repair itself and realize that it doesn't need to do anything else for you.
A search to support the idea of manual download and install acting as a workaround for this symptom:

(Microsoft search for
[HRESULT = 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED]
Another suggestion which could be implied by your diagnostics would be to uninstall your Norton package (and any of the other interferers which are mentioned that would be suspect). Norton is notorious for interference with updating and is also known
to interfere even when it is supposedly disabled and is also known interfere even when it has supposedly been uninstalled, so who knows what the cause of the problem is, corruption or blocking, you could at least change your POQexec.log by taking such
manual action.
BTW what have you done exactly about trying to repair WU? You could save yourself a lot of manual effort if you could get it working properly.
Otherwise, on the manual update tack I would try doing first the ones which arrive in pieces. Search WindowsUpdate.log for Downloading for clues that way.
Good luck

How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

same issue if:
- Switching accelaration method to "UXA" as per https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40860
- Adding Option "DRI" "False"
Digged a bit:
- same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
- same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

SLD server Start Failure

Hi All,
I have found that the Jco connections got affected for the EP7 system, the reason of which was SLD server failure. I have found that the SLD server was stopped.
I have started it anyway, but wanted to know why it stopped. The following are the logs found. Can anybody help in getting the reason.

Freezing at "Login Window starting"

Hello, my PB won't get past login screen. It freezes specifically when it says "Login Windows starting".
Apple Hardware Test comes out fine but I can't repair using Disk Utility (the disk or permissions). Haven't tried Disk Warrior yet. I've tried starting in Safe Mode to no avail. I tried resetting PRAM and PMU with the same result.
Is there any other possible solution to my startup woes before I concede defeat and take this bad boy in to an Apple store?

I'm sure you're ready to turn in the computer for repair or troubleshooting but I have a couple of suggestions if you haven't tried them already. First, when you open Disk Utility from your installation disc, on the bottom after selecting your hard drive, what does it say next to S.M.A.R.T. status? Does it say "Failing"? My experience is that this finds problems with hard drives better than Apple Hardware Test. If it says "Verified", have you tried to re-install your operating system, either "Archive and Install" or "Erase and Install?" I would attempt an Archive and Install first, then an Erase and Install and see how that goes. Good luck.

Does Adobe Reader XI work with Windows Starter 7?

I've been having trouble downloading Adobe Reader XI. It kept hanging at 96% during the installation. I tried to restart and download again and checked for viruses, but the installation never worked. I also tried the adobe cleaner to clean the product, restart and try the installation again. That didn't work. I also tried the direct download link and that didn't work either. In fact the direct download ended by saying there was a 150210 error ( no idea what that means :/ ).
So now I'm looking at the specs and wondering if the problem this whole time is that it's not compatible with WIndows Starter 7. Some tech specs don't specifically list Starter 7 (it's just assumed with Windows 7). Should this be working on my system or not? And if it is supposed to be working, how can I get the installation to work?
Thanks in advance.

I think the Reader installer should work on any Windows 7 edition. I don't know what the 150210 error means.
Try if you can succeed with the MSI installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi (English version 11.0.0).

Automatic start of particular excel file at window start up

Hi,
I created an excel file for reminders. That pop ups at system start up. It has a short cut in start up folder ( C:\Users\drsantoshsinghrathore\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART ). The problem is, that it starts up every time I start excel and show
up in vba explorer window. I want it to open only once at system or window start up. Is there any other way, please ?
regards.

Hi,
As far as I know, if we add the Excel file\template in
Excel xlstart folder (C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart.), it will automatically open the file\template when you start Excel. Thus, we do not to add the short cut in the Excel start up folder.
We could add the file to Windows startup folder and delete the file in Excel start up folder. And then, it'll open only once at system or window start up.
Your personal startup folder should be C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
The all user startup folder should be C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
"an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
Any suggestions?
