Windows will not restart correctly

I'm currently tri-booting osx, windows 7, and ubuntu 10.04 on a mac mini. I am using refit for the boot screen. Everything has installed correctly and appears to be working, however if I am in windows and click restart, it does not go back to the refit screen to reprompt for os choice. This does not happen for the ubuntu partition nor the osx one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Reboot the computer. On the very first screen you see, probably a manufacturers name or something similar, it should tell you a button to hit to enter your BIOS or setup. It is generally the delete key, F10, or ESC although it is possible it is something different so look for a section that tells you what button.
Hit that button a couple of times until you enter the setup area. Once there look for an option somewhere of changing the boot order. It will give you options of which devices to boot from first. Such as harddrive, cdrom, floppy, usb, etc. If it is set to boot the usb before the harddisk, just change the order around so that usb is after the harddisk.

Windows will not restart properly when iPod is Connected!

Please help...I am running Windows XP and i have a 5th Gen iPod. My computer will not restart when I have my iPod connected to my computer, it starts then after a few seconds it just goes to a blank screen. Yet if I unplug my iPod my compter will restart correctly. What is the problem?

975X Platinum PowerUp - Windows will not Restart - only shutdown

I've had a MSI 975x Platinum Powerup for several weeks now and have a really annoying problem.
When booted and in Windows the system is pretty stable. I've even had some success at overclocking (up to 333 with an E6400). However, even when not overclocked it I select Windows Restart the machine will shutdown but will not POST on the restart. The machine just sits there with no video signal.
however if I do Windows Shutdown and the physically power the machine back on, everything seems okay.
This maybe isnt a big deal, but is very irritating. I've seen some passing reference to other members of the forums that have a similar sounding problem, but there are no details.
Could anyone tell me if this is a known issue, and whether there is a solution or not.
Is it the case that only some people have this problem or do all 975x users have it?
I've tried MSI support who just responded with a generic 'have you checked x,y,z' message.
have detailed some of the other components of my machine below - let me know if you need anything more
Thanks in advance,
James.
BIOS: 7.3 (7.1 and 7.2 had the same problem also)
VGA Type:MSI GeForce 7900 GTO SILENT 512MB
CPU Type:E6400

Operating System:Windows XP professional

Hi, The only thing I need to change in the bios is to turn off 'spread spectrum' and run the memory @2.2v. I have found turning off speedstep and C1E made no difference for me. At 375 if you run the memory with the 1:1 divider it will be running @750 so you can manually select 4,4,4,12 for the memory timings. This will not help the restart problem though.
Having said that, any bios after 7.2 will alter your manual memory settings and if you enter the above ( GeILs recommended settings) it will change them to 4,5,6,12.......... Another bios quirk I'm afraid!
To get around this you can go back to bios 7.1 which leaves these settings alone. What I have found works well is to leave the divider option on 'AUTO' . This applies the 1:1.25 ratio, and leaves memory timings on 4,4,4,12 with the ram running @875 when on 350 FSB. I run this setting @ 375, but I put the memory timings on 'SPD' as the ram is then running @938. You can run up to 2.3v through this ram according to OCUK where I bought the memory which may help you get up to these speeds or tighten the timings a bit.
380 is about the fastsest mine will boot at and adding more vcore (up to 1.4v) made no difference to this. I have tried upping the pcie voltage (which is the chipset voltage on this board) to 1.6v, but this didn't help either! Some people seem to get over 400FSB easily and others seem to have hit the same wall as me. People who can attain the high FSB speeds don't seem to suffer from the restart problems either! WEIRD!!
Let us know how how you get on.

Windows will not restart after install of itunes & quicktime, what to do?

I installed itunes and quicktime from the disc provided. After install the installer asked to restart the computer and I clicked yes. It has not booted since. Windows 2000 Pro locks up about 75% through process. I did hear the speakers activate then nothing. I have attempted a hard boot and restart in safe mode without success. My emergency disk did not work. Where should I go next?

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

A second browser window will not open and then closing the 1st window firefox will restart. Taskmgr shows it still running, it will not restart until I end the process in taskmgr.

I open the browser and close it every thing is fine. I open the browser and then attempt to open a second browser window, it will not open. Now because I've attempted to open a second browser window firefox will not restart after closing the open window. Until I've shut it down in the taskmgr. This just started the other day and I have removed the only update I made that was "flash" and I removed the 64 bit version of firefox.

Win 7 with iTunes installed - I was also having problems with that.
"netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt resolved all issues and Firefox launched normally.
Check to see if Winsock is corrupted. May prevent FF from communicating with the web and consequently fails to launch properly - for my situation was not a firewall or antivirus block!

Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh winsock reset
Then, you should see the following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
Restart the computer.
Note If you receive an “Access Denied” error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.

Windows 7 Pro will not restart if printer on.

Hello,
When clicking restart, Windows 7 Pro will not restart with either hp printer (L7680 or C309a) powered on. The screen just stays on 'Starting Windows'. Windows will continue to load after powering down which ever printer is powered on.
This problem just started. Never happened before. I could always click restart with no problem before.
Any help?
This question was solved.

Hey joe_do,
I see you are having an issue with the boot sequence of your Windows 7 Pro computer when either of your 2 HP printers are powered on. How are these 2 printers connected with this PC?
It sounds like the devices may be connected USB and somehow the boot sequence for the computer has set priority for USB over the internal HDD.

I updated my MacBook Air and now it will not restart. It just sits on apple with spinning circle. Any suggetions on how to reboot and get to start window?

It was in process of updating and when the mac restarted it just sits there with spinning circle. I have waited for hours to no avail. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Holding down the power button for more than 10 Seconds will force quit your Mac. This might leave it in a state where it will not restart at all.
I would wait at least a minute before restarting after forced shutdown.
The update may restart or resume.
The reason your update failed may be a bad or failing SSD.

Firefox will not open. Process runs, but browser window will not open.

I am unable to get the Firefox browser window to launch. The application will attempt to open, but the browser window will not appear. Task manager indicates that the process is running, it just will not launch the window. No amount of restarts or reboots will make a difference. The strange thing about this is that Firefox has never run. This is a new computer and this issue has been a problem since it was first plugged in.
Troubleshooting steps attempted thus far:
1) Attempted to open in safe mode - will not open
2) Attempted to run in administrator mode- will not open
3) Completely uninstalled application, including profile info and reinstalled
4) Uninstalled known conflicts - Skype 4 (do not have Norton)
5) Even though issues since new, I ran a virus scan just in case-nothing
6) Uninstalled Chrome which I installed after originally being unsuccesful at getting FF to install (I uninstalled it before I began all of these troubleshooting steps as I have heard of conflicts)
I am now at a loss and willing to try any other steps that you guys can suggest.

Photoshop Elements 12 will not restart after closing.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. If I close Photoshop Elements 12, it will not restart.
To get it to restart, I have to open the Windows Task Manager and then stop the process "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe *32".
Once I stop this process, then Photoshop Elements 12 will restart.
Is there a know solution for this?

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor which will bypass the welcome screen.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 12
Within the Photoshop Elements 12 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor (the application not the Adobe shortcut)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by double-clicking on the new desktop icon and hopefully the application will close correctly.

DRM Event Manager will not restart

We reloaded the backup from last night into the DRM module to recover from issues within our hierarchy.
Stopped service including IIS.
Starting services, the MDM Event Manager will not restart. Seems to be throwing an error about a Unique Constraint violation in MDM N Tier Process Manager as well as a parameter incorrect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you can’t shut down the file server by normal ways, and it hangs at the "shutting down" message for more than 60 minutes. Only way is to press the power button to force the shutdown.
When Windows Server shuts down, messages are sent to the devices/system services/programs that are installed on the computer to notify them that Windows is preparing to shut down. The operating system waits for responses from programs that are running to
make sure that the programs save unsaved data to the hard disk and shut down properly.
Faulty or incompatible device drivers, programs, system services that either do not respond correctly or send busy request messages to the system are typical causes of shutdown problems
You may use Task Manager to identify the cause of the shutdown behavior. For each program that is listed in Task Manager, manually quit the program, and then shut down and restart the computer to test if the shutdown problem is resolved.
If the shutdown behavior occurs immediately after you make a change to the computer, undo any recent changes to the computer.
Use safe mode to restart the server, and confirm that if the problem are caused by faulty drivers, programs, or services that start automatically.
Best Regards,
Eve Wang

Facetime window will not close. (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3)

Recently and quite frequently, after a FaceTime call has ended the window will not close out to the normal FaceTime call history screen. Even when I double tap the home button to close out apps, the FaceTime window, still showing my live face and "call with whomever as ended or ending" (it switches between ended and ending when clicking back on the window) will not swipe closed; it just moves up and right back down. I can't even swipe it closed during a live FaceTime as I could before. The only way I've been able to close out the FaceTime app is to power down the phone then turn it back on.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?

Hello nelly_eastside,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your FaceTime application is not fully closing after a call. In this situation, I would recommend forcing the application to close and then resetting your iPhone. To complete these steps, please follow the instructions in the attached articles. Please let me know if the issue continues.

Components will not resize correctly in Catalyst

Download PSD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/814249/campusariel.psd
Download FXP: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/814249/campusariel.fxp
I am completely new to Flash Catalyst (any and all versions). I am currently using Photoshop CS5.5 to design and Catalyst 5.5 to import and translate into a flash project. I recently picked up a job creating an interactive application for a college campus. I have attached my two project files for anyone who can help to view to see what is wrong. I have also attached inline screenies for those who cannot/will not download.
Here is my problem: I created the attached PSD in Photoshop with what I thought were the correct layers and groups/folders. I am hoping to achieve the following effect: when a user rolls over the purple buttons, multiple similar copies of that button that are initially hidden beneath the visible one popup in sequence above the rolled over purple button.
Ex. State 1:
Animation/Action Sequence to the following:
The purple popup objects will have their own text content and will be buttons themselves that a user clicks to change to a different state with more specific information.
Not only am I unsure of how to create such animation/action sequence, my purple components (whether I actually convert them to components in Catalyst or not) will not resize correctly. NOTE: I did click the resizable option when importing the PSD into Catalyst. The following effect occurs both ways. I add constraints to all objects by selecting all, right clicking, and choosing add constraints to all; the following occurs when stretched inwards using the resize test handle:
and this when stretched out:
When viewed using CTRL+Enter, the application is nowhere near resized in the browser window. I must be missing something, especially being new to Catalyst. I tried flattening the image in Photoshop, which obviously allowed the image to be easily resizable in Catalyst and the test browser window. However, I cannot use my separate elements when flattened; flattening defeats the purpose of Catalyst if I'm not mistaken.
Any guidance?

Hi Martin - Those are really good questions! I did check and the image is uploaded. I assume I can see the image in my one browser because of the cache since I could not see it on several computers that I had never pulled the site up on before.
And actually I have it working now. Nancy had a good idea to check to see if I saved it as CMYK instead of RGB. When I went to go open the file on my computer Photoshop and Fireworks had an error in opening it. They had a problem opening the one I downloaded from the ftp too. It just looks like somehow the file became corrupted! Not sure how, but that seems like what the problem was since I have a new image up there now and it's working fine again.
Thanks for all your help!
