Windows 98 Locks up after changing processor

I have a MSI K7T Turbo w/ the latest bios update. I am running Windows 98SE. I changed from a duron 750 to a 1.1Ghz Athlon. The system worked fine until the processor change. Now, when windows boots up, it gets to the desktop, and locks up. Windows will boot into safe mode, where I have deleted the system devices in Control Panel/System/Device Manager. When rebooting, after running the add new hardware wizard, it will find all the system devices, and then restart, but then it hangs again when detecting new devices. Any help??

Video is AGP, Diamond Viper V770 (32MB)
1st PCI is DSI Modem (DI5630)
2nd PCI is SoundBlaster Live
3rd PCI is free
4th PCI is Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI Card
512MB PC133 SDRAM ( 2 x 256)
Bios settings are pretty much defaults except for disabling video bios shadow (not needed on modern pc's, and onboard sound/modem disable)
Power Supply is Deer LC300ATX 300w p/s w/ 165w for 3.3 rail.

Windows Theme not applied after changing OS language

Hi,
I have a theme(.theme file) which I have created and applied on my system. However after I change the language from "Control Panel > Region and Language" setting, my theme which was applied goes away. I tried retaining the theme
by Enabling below settings in Group Policy but was of no help.
- Prevent Changing Theme
-Prevent Changing Window Color and Appearance
Does anyone know the solution to this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
For the deny error message, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace and it would record the deny message when you encounter the error.
Process Monitor:

If there is any difficult to use Process Monitor,please feel free let me know.
In addition, I'm not suggest you use 3rd theame in Windows 7, it's probably infect system stability with a lot of unknown problem.

Software to restore apps window size and position after change in screen resolution

I use a 27' iMac'10 with SL 10.6.8, running it at 2560x1440 screen resolution.
Whenever I have to attend meetings via GoToMeeting or Webex and need to present, the resolution is too high, since most participants are on 15' laptops or even iPad's these days. Therefore, I reset the screen resolution to 1600x900 for the time of the presentation.
After the meeting is over, I reset the resolution back to 2560x1440.
Problem: After the reset, all my apps are scaled and out of place, so I need to manually reset them to their original sizes and positions. I use Divvy to make this a bit less painful, but still it's a manual chore.
Is there any software out there that let's me restore my windows to the exact settings they were the last time before I changed screen resolution?

I agree, the ability to remember window sizes and positions when switching between laptop and using the Thunderbolt display would be very useful. It's like your Mac remembering the volume level depending on whether you have headphones plugged in or not.

Timesten 1122 on Windows 7 32bit Error after changing hostname

I have Timesten 1122/Windows 7 32bit (UAC turned off for test environment) installed in Virtual Box VM/Windows 7 64-bit.
This is a very basic/fresh Timesten setup, without replication, cache group, etc.
It's been up and running no problem, until I change the computer name/hostname.
C:\Users\ttadmin>ttdaemonadmin -start
The service is not responding to the control function.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.
C:\Users\ttadmin>net helpmsg 2186
The service is not responding to the control function.
I check tterrors and ttmesg but there's no entry in there (I make sure of this by clearing the content first).
I tried to start Timesten Data Manager Service in Services, but it give error:
Error 1053: The service do not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion.
If I change the computer name back as before, timesten running again as usual.
Is there a way to fix this error?
Thank you very much,
Harlin.

I think we will need to see the messages from the TimesTen daemon log (tterrors.log and ttmesgs.log in <tt_install_dir>/srv/info directory) from the time the daemon (service) would not start.
One thing to check is that the hostname you changed to can be resolved and the (correct) IP address determined. For example, can you ping the new hostname from the machine?

ITunes locking up after changing external hard drives?

I recently got a new external hard drive, and moved my music from the old one onto the bigger new one. (They're both the same brand, so I know it's not a compatibility problem.) I seem to have everything loaded into iTunes fine, but when it goes through and tries to get the album artwork, or determine the gapless playback it freezes, and I can't even force quit it. The only way for me to close iTunes is to log out and log back on.
I've tried un- and reinstalling and that wasn't the answer. Any help/Suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I came across your post because, I have been having issues for a while with the same description, except that I am using separate partitions on my main drive.
What I noticed is that if I set my podcast downloads to go to my NTFS main partition, there is no lag... but the moment I set it to my FAT32 partition, the lag starts back up.
I believe that the issue is with the slooow write time to FAT32 in large drives. (And in my instance, the move command apple does to put the podcast, which writes to the FAT32 partition and removes the NTFS temp download) Do you see the same lag or alot shorter if the drive is formatted to NTFS?
I don't really have any space currently to format my partition to test the issue, but I the fact of the downloads speeding up when set to my NTFS main disk makes me think that this issue could be lessened by using FAT32.
a side note for me, I'm considering reformatting my drive to NTFS, after backing up due to the advancement of ntfs3g in linux, so this could solve my problem at least.

Windows 7 locking after 1 minute

OK, so starting off, i have read over all of the other posts and have found none of them work.
My computer locks after 1 minute, this started today, i have not changed any settings, nor have I recently as I have had this computer for a while. I have looked at all of the settings and i have all of the sleep/hibernation functions turned off.
I have the "lock screen on wake up" function also turned off. I do however have it set to dim, and then turn off the display after 1 minute, but this has nothing to do with the sleep function. It does not dim the display before locking, only after,
as if it wasnt locked, please give me anything you can to help as this randomness is very irritating.

I don't think Arthur Xie's response should be marked as the answer. This doesn't sound like it has any relevance to Craig's original question, and hasn't been corroborated by anyone. It threw me off the scent when I encountered the exact same
problem - Windows 7 locking me out after 1 minute and requiring password re-entry
It turns out that Ramesh's answer was the one that worked for me. Somehow my machine got set to wait 1 minute and "on resume, display logon screen" was ticked. Don't know how this happened.
I initially missed this, because the selected screensaver was "(none)", so I assumed all the settings on this page were irrelevant. It does raise the interesting usability point that a screen saver of "(none)" can still blank the screen, even
though the user hasn't purposely selected the "Blank" screensaver.

Windows Explorer Locks After Installing ZEN Softw

<span class="contentText">I am running Windows XP. Whenever I go in to windows explorer it locks up after a?few of seconds. I close it then reopen it then it does it again. It locks up most of the time but sometimes it works like it is supposed to. This started after I?loaded Creative Labs software for a Zen Vision and?since then its been running like this. Everything else works fine just Windows explorer has many locku
ps.
Also when Zen software is uninstalled Windows Explorer works fine. After doing some research I find many others have the same problem.

Hi,
Did this issue occur on all computers which installed that update?
In generally, it's not most likely be Windows update cause.
Let's narrow down the issue:
Have you tried to reset the Internet Explorer to check the result:
1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
2.Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click
Internet options.
4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click
Reset.
5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click
Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if it caused by some third-party software:

HT1491 My password in iTunes will not work, even after changing it. It keeps showing a window to add PW. I do and it pops up again.

My PW in iTues will not work. Even after changing it. Window pops up and ask for PW. Over and over.

I would be worried about that - but it may turn out to be nothing.
Since you already changed your password, you're probably OK - but I recommend looking at your purchase history to see if there's any unauthorized purchases (use iTunes on your Mac or PC to go to the itunes store, then click your account in the upper-left or upper-right corner). If there are any new purchases that you didn't make, click the button to report problem (and if they happened after you reset your password, you should immediately change your password again).
I think sometimes when you change your password and verifiy your credit card info, it can "reset" the warnings - so it may actually have been you logging in to your own account that caused you to get the warning. But I'm not absolutely sure of that, so it's best to check your purchase history (and reset your password if necessary - but you already did that).
I also recommend turning on "two-step verification" (but Apple makes you wait a few days after changing your password to turn that on). With "two-step verification", Apple will send you a text message with a 4-digit code the 1st time you try to buy something from a new computer - since a hacker won't have your phone, they won't be able to continue (theoretically). After the 1st time, it goes back to mostly working normally (until the 1st time you try to purchase from another new computer, then you get another text message - so this alerts you to someone, somewhere else, trying to get into your account).

Windows 8.1 keeps locking up after about 1hr of use.

For the past two days, my computer locks up after about an hour of use. It doesn't always freeze, sometimes it just moves incredibly slow. Every thing I try to click takes at least 5-10 minutes to load. My computerr is ASUS r500v, intel core i7,8gb memory,
1tb hdd.
At first, the computer would freeze in Google Chrome saying "waiting for cache" and after cleaning cache and trouble shooting for hours, I decided to uninstall google chrome. I am now using firefox. I try to run virus scans, but my
computer won't work long enough for that. When I do run one though, it gets 4 issues (i've cleaned two of them)
Ran "sfc /scannow" and it told me that it fixed some but not all of the issues. then ran "dism /startcomponentcleanup successfully. ran dism /restorehealth and it said "could not download source files"
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
For Windows 8.1 freezes, have we checked this KB article?
Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes
For the dism repair, please refer this KB article, if we have an install disk available:
Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Important When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a running Windows installation as the repair source, or
use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess
Note Replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows placeholder with the location of your repair source. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, reference
Repair a Windows Image
Please follow the steps listed in the KB article.

Adobe Bridge CC locks out my access to hard drive after opening-window shows lock but will not unloc

Why does my user window show locked after opening Adobe Bridge CC? I can access all other external drives...

What are you calling the user window? If the Folders view this should be same a OS view of folders.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

Lost all files and applications installed after changing user profile in the registry of windows 8.1 pc

The original user profile on my windows 8.1 pc is C:\Apple\acer sm. I tried changing it to C:\Apple\Apple. After I rebooted my PC, I found out that all my files and applications are lost. What shall I do to recover them?
Your help would save my life. Thank you!

Hi AppleMist,
We wonder if you changed the registry entry or path of user profile.
If you did that in registry please try changing it back.
After changing your user profile and reboot, system won’t read the profile you changed but a new user profile (C:\Apple\acer sm or TEMP) should be created by system. Try renaming this new one as acer sm.old and changing the apple back to acer sm.
It should works fine if you didn’t change file in profile, if it doesn’t work perform a system restore.

Help help please... I'm running Photoshop CS, on a Windows XP machine. After re-booting the machine after an unexpected power failure I have been told that the "Configuration appears to have changed since the time this product was activated. To continue using this product I must re-activate it". BUT the activation link informs me that they no longer support the product (neither online nor telephonically). So how can I re-activate this software?

Hello
Thank you for your answer which is interesting because it is a disk of 2 TB... If I create a partition do you think it can solve my problem? I prefer this old version of Photoshop, very practical to use...
