Windows XP Pro startup problem

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2009, and I installed Windows XP Pro using Bootcamp. It worked well for a few times after I installed it. But now after the screen just turns black after the Windows logo comes up. I have to shut down by holding down the power button.
When I try to start Windows again, it asks to check the disk , and then turns black again.

  • MacBook pro when windows 7 has startup problem and Mac os doesn't work

    I installed windows 7 on my MacBook pro and it did work well. But now windows has a startup problem and "startup repair" couldn't solve it, so I can't use both Mac os and windows and my laptop has become completely useless. Any suggestion?

    Reboot and hold down command-R at the sound of the chime, that should take you to the Lion recovery partition, if it does go to disk utility and see if you have an OSX partition at all.

  • Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Problems (Switchable Graphics, Screen Brightness Adjustment, etc.)

    Hi guys! I hope you can help me with this.
    My laptop is a Lenovo U400 bought last April. I upgraded it yesterday to Windows 8 Pro.
    The Upgrade Assistant detected incompatibilities on the following softwares (I'll be mentioning only those I had problems with after the update.)
    -AMD Catalyst Install Manager
    -Catalyst Control Center
    -Lenovo Energy Management
    -Cypress Trackpad
    After the update, the following problems occurred
    -Windows kept prompting me about the incompatibility of Catalyst Control Center and Lenovo Energy Management
    -When I check the Device Manager -->Display Adapters, My AMD Radeon HD 6470M was changed to HD 7400M and has an exclamation point on it indicating a problem. When check Properties it says, "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
    -I can't manage switchable graphics because the AMD Radeon driver has been stopped by the OS and Catalyst Control Center doesn't work. It says, "Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center."
    -My touchpad works but does not support multitouch functions.
    -Screen brightness adjustment stopped working both on hotkeys and Power Options.
    I tried the following actions to fix the problems:
    -Downloaded the new softwares from Lenovo Support but the Catalyst Control Center and Cypress Trackpad still doesn't work. I also tried installing driver software from the AMD site but it still didn't work. [FAILED]
    -I tried to use the Cypress Trackpad software for U300s/e and it fixed the problem with the touchpad [FIXED]
    -Installed the Energy Management software for Windows 8 but when I click the 'Optimized Battery Health' button, it keeps reverting back to 'Maximum Battery Life'. [PARTIALLY FIXED]
    -Resorted to 3rd party software to fix the Switchable Graphics (Catalyst 12.11 Beta from leshcatlabs.net) and it fixed the switchable graphics problem as well as the Catalyst Control Center problem. This is temporary until a working solution or update is available. [TEMPORARILY FIXED]
    -All actions trying to fix the Screen brightness adjustment didn't work. [FAILED]
    Please do help me on this. Thanks in advance!!!

    Yes I own U400 too and I'm using it now. To many forums been read, can't remember which one. Basically, u have to clean AMD and Intel drivers that come along with Win 8. Why? Because the Win8 driver database will lead the device ID "DEV_6760" (if you looking at display adapter device properties) to HD 7400 series instead of HD 6470M, again why? At the bigining only the HD 7400 series already "certified" by Microsoft, while the 6470M out of somewhere. Current CCC (or else) + 6470 drivers, contain also driver for 7400 series in same packages (at least until now, hopefully near future they will release an update). So you can gues where the windows will lead to? Yes 7400 series (certified one). This will explain also why the Energy Management didn't work to= "missing identifier" or we can say "hardware not match".
    You have to find a "fix" driver which contain only HD 6470M and install it manually trhu "Have Disk" option, after you claan all AMD and Intel driver. If you success, then install the CCC from Lenovo Support and from ATI ( I use 12.11 Beta8 Net4 CCC - this is a must), but remember to unchek the AMD Display driver when you install both CCC, and leave the rest checked including Intel Component. Then you can download install anything you want =).
    Leschat's driver did't work on my and "harm" the system. Believe it or not, I found the AMD 6470M standalone driver on HP website. They call it "SoftPack", which actually contain CCC software.
    It's quite tricky thing, that's why not everyone willing to try. But I think it's worth to try, as the risk is not too deep, just backup anything befor you do it. Cheer

  • Windows XP Pro x64 problem with hardware aud

    I just upgraded my computer and with this upgrade I installed Windows XP Pro x64. I am having the following symptoms and I am wondering if they aren't part of a larger problem.
    When I run DXDiag (either the 32 or 64bit version) I get the following error message during the tests on the Sound tab: "Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sounds will only play back from software buffers.". Is this normal for Windows XP Pro x64. I've used this OS before (with my older system) and never saw that message and used 2 different X-Fi cards during that time!
    I also have this problem...While running Thief Deadly Shadows, when I enable "Audio Hardware Mixing" I loose all sound. And I am unable to enable "EAX Advanced HD" and "EAX Multiple Environments".
    It seems like I can't enable hardware audio. But I also have Lord of The Rings Online installed and it appears to be using it's hardware audio ok, but when I change from hardware to software it crashes if I don't disable EAX first, so it's not perfect. Is this card faulty or is this typical of WXPx64 or what?
    Thanks...
    My system specs are: Intel E6850, Asus P5K Deluxe (0404 BIOS), Corsair Twin2X4096-6400DHX, EVGA e-Geforce 8800 GTX, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Intel PRO/000 PT Server Adapter, Enermax Galaxy 000W Gamers Edition. I think that's all that's relevant.Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:2 AM

    I disabled the Memory Remap Feature in the BIOS and my DXDiag and Thief problems went away. I had a hunch it was related to this. But now my question is, am I just out of luck, in terms of having to sacrifice some of my RAM (3.25GBs instead of 4GBs) to get my sound card working properly? It seems to me that this is a driver issue, as I've read others say that Creative never really supported x64 fully.
    Does anyone have anything to offer on this? Thanks...Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:22 AM

    Since I have installed Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, itunes has not worked at all? I keep getting error messages when installing and the it says I need to verifiy I have privilages to use 'Apple Moblie Device Support' I've tired run as admin. please help!

    hello,  i have a HP computer a pavillion g6 with a GPU Ati Radeon 6470M and windows 10 as operating system i tryed every single roubleshooting web site that speaks about this issue for now. in my opinion windows 10 isn't made for this kind of Graphic cards (by that i mean ATI mobility graphic cards)... for now !!!. a lot of people offer alternative solutions to the driver provided by the official AMD website, try this web site "http://leshcatlabs.net/". may be it'll work. but they didn't work for me, try them may be they could work for you if u happen to try windows 10. the thing is and my question is : Will there ever be any fix from HP (or microsoft, or AMD) for this issue ?. because it's not worth to wait if i will never use my graphic card on windows 10... i'm seriously thinking about downgrading back to windows 7 where every thing was stable over this issue. it's a temporary solution, but at least i can use my GPU. thx for answering, let's hope we all find a solution soon.  

  • Macbook pro startup problems, Mavericks and Yosemite

    2011 MBP
    OK I am an idiot for trying to update to Yosemite which basically killed my laptop. After a long time of trying everything I eventually deleted and reformatted the hd and reinstalled maverick + data from Time Machine (via internet recovery). But still the problem seems to persist more or less identically after working ok for some hours.
    I opened up the laptop this morning and the screen was just blank and I couldn’t restart (just got the grey screen). I can open up in safe mode but there is some very strange behaviour. At the moment the screen is divided in half with the r side on the L and the L side on the R. This is new, no weird screen issues before (except the grey screen on startup).
    I have tried internet recovery again to use disc utility, the disc verifies fine. There is something strange going on with the permissions though - 2 permissions need repairing and I repair them but when I re-verify they need repairing again. I have repaired them about 10 times now but have no idea if they are connected with my problems or not.
    Anyway I am at a total loss to know what is wrong or what I can do about it and getting desperate (I need to work!!). Any ideas?

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro Startup Problems.

    Hi all,
    I have an  Early 2008 Mac Pro - 2x 2.8ghz Intel Xeon Quad Core processors, 12 gigs of Ram, 1x Nvidia 8800GT graphics card and I am running Windows Vista 64bit through bootcamp. I am running Snow Leopard. I have one monitor it is a Samsung 226bw - 22inch and it is connected via dvi and vga on the monitor side.
    I have recently had my computer updated to the latest 10.65 (something like that).
    Anyway my current problem is that:
    a)The computer does not load up any operating systems and it is just a blank screen.
    b) Sometimes all you hear is the Apple loading Chime "doong" constantly, and a blank screen.
    c) Sometimes I can get to the windows selection screen for safe mode. I pick safe mode but it just goes to a blank screen. Also the monitor does not pick any signals up as it goes no source etc.
    What I have tried:
    a) I have changed the monitor cables 3 different ones.
    b) I have taken all the other hard drives out.
    c) I cannot get into Mac OSX or Windows Vista ( however Vista is the default OS right now)
    d) I can connect my main hdd and copy all my windows stuff, but I cannot see any of the apple osx.
    My suspicions are it is graphics card,or hard drive related.
    I have ordered a new graphics card a ATI Radeon 5770 ( wont come for 6days) and I have a new hard drive a WD Black Caviar 1tb.
    My Questions:
    a) I would like to know what your ideas are on my current situation and Mac Pro symptons.
    b) Is there a way I could format the WD Black Caviar HDD to a Mac Extended one in Windows on my laptop connected via sata?
    c) If "b" is possible could I then use my Mac Pro/Mac OSX or snow leopard discs to create a OSX for my Mac Pro?
    d) Or should I just wait for my graphics card to come and see if is just the Nvidia 8800gt failing?
    e) If it is not the graphics card then do you believe it is the hard drive? or could it be something else?
    Any assistance would be kindly appreciated.
    KInd Regards
    Bobby

    Vista on its own hard drive? Windows doesn't like to move the drive bay.
    you could boot from Vista DVD (I'd upgrade to Windows 7 SP1 when possible)
    clone backups - for both
    emergency boot drive / OS X DVD - you can, and should, always have more than one Mac OS boot volume handy.  So yes use 10.6 DVD
    Preventative and disk maintenance (Disk Warrior etc)
    You would need something like MacDrive8 or Paragon HFS8 to really have good access to HFS from Vista assuming the volume is safe to mount and access.

  • Mac Pro startup problems

    I've been having intermittent startup/sleep problems. One of two things happens...I put it to sleep and then when I come back later and tap the keyboard or touch the mouse, I hear it starting up, but the screen doesn't come on. To resolve this, I could usually sleep it with the power button and then try waking it again. Or I just force a restart by holding the power button down...of course losing whatever I hadn't saved.
    The other thing that has been happening more frequently is that when I try to force a restart by holding the power button down, the cinema display doesn't turn on.
    Apple wants me to disconnect all my peripherals and add them one at a time. I have a bunch of peripherals, and since this is an intermittent problem, I think it'll be difficult to diagnose. As well, i'm a quadriplegic and have no use of my hands, making plugging and unplugging a difficult task. My keyboard is plugged in to my monitor, which is plugged in to a surge protector. As a possible solution, I flipped off the surge, pushed in the power button til right before hearing the chime, the flipped on the surge before the chime and the monitor turns on. Sometimes. And sometimes when it does turn on, my Mac boots with the Boot Camp partition...even though I have chosen it to start with Leopard.
    I've had on-site service and they changed out the logic board and video card.
    This is frustrating. I can't bring it in or send it in because I would think I would need to include all the peripherals to replicate the problem at home.
    Oh...it also seems if I just let it "sit there" for a long period of time, I can eventually boot it fine. Lately, this superstition hasn't worked.
    I've found a lot of the Discussions with similar boot/sleep problems with the Mac Pro, but none have helped me.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This has been an ongoing issue since Panther. It is old as the hills and what it is isn't as easy to remedy as it sounds. There is an issue where, when the machine goes to sleep, the PCI bus shuts off and, upon awaking it doesn't power the video card bus up so, there's no display. There used to be mod to allow the PPC machines to keep the card active and one would go into Terminal and write it in and reset it in such a way to get it to work. However, in the Intel machines, I don't know what that is. IF there's other PCI cards running on that machine that does not support sleep, that same end result will happen. I got so fed up with patching it only to run a hi end audio card in there that did not support sleep and it went right back to a black screen. Best thing to do is to not to use sleep at all. I set it to never.
    Oh, one more thing; there was an issue with some power supplies for the monitors. By simply unplugging it and reconnecting it, the monitor would fire up. I had that happen too with my Apple monitor. The thing was, it just never worked consistent from Panther as I recall.

  • Abobe 8 Pro Startup Problem

    When I try to open up a PDF via Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro it starts to open and then a pop up comes up saying it can't open until I open up another CS3 function like Photoshop. I had Photoshop already open when this notice came up. I also tried opening up Illustrator and Bridge to see if that made a difference. It didn't. What gives? My 7 Pro opens up fine. One other thing I noticed ... when I tried to close Photoshop, Illus. and Bridge I got the spinning pizza for a long time ... looked in my Force Quit window and it said these functions were not responding. So I force quit them.

    Hey MBDes1,
    I guess you are using Acrobat version 8.2.4 in that case Adobe posted the fix to this problem @ http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/861/cpsid_86169.html
    Download the small app and run it on your Mac machine and this will solve all the issues that you have with CS3 and Acrobat.
    Just in case you are on any other version of Acrobat 8, then update Acrobat to 8.2.4 using the update mechanism-Launch Acrobat and go to 'Help->Check for Updates'.
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
    How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
    permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
    2.   
    On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
    following items are turned ON:
    Network Discovery
    File and printer sharing
    And this one is OFF:
    Password protected sharing
    3.   
    Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
    In addition,
    I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

  • Macbook Pro startup problems

    Recently, I accidentally closed the lid of my MBP before it shutdown completely. Usually, this would cause a problem on the startup the next time where I would push the power button and the only thing happening is the light on the latch button would be half lit and you could hear the fan or some other components startup. The screen will not turn on and nothing else happens.
    It's been happening with increasing frequency now. Can anyone help?

    This seems to have happened to me now, also. I had just finished installing an update to my external FW800 HD (Western Digital MyBookPro 500GB). The installer said the installation was successful, but then my MyBook icon disappeared, and a dialog box came up saying the drive was disconnected unexpectedly. I clicked the go-away button, then I got the dimmed wipe-down saying I had to power off my machine by holding down the power button at least 5 seconds. I obeyed. The screen has been completely dark ever since.
    Now, I can't get further than a half-dim latchlight. None of the startup key combinations work (I opened up the article and tried them all). I reset the SMC/PMU to no avail. Another early symptom was that the DVD drive was making a repeating racket like it was looking for a disk, but couldn't find one. I followed the troubleshooting guide to the point where it says to try to boot from the install disk (pressing "c"). The sign of life was that when I got the disk about 75% in, it grabbed the disk like normal, but then silence. So, it ate my Install DVD. Like all the other keys, the eject button doesn't work.
    I should note a few things. I noticed that the machine would heat up, but I couldn't hear any drive activity after initally inserting the DVD. There's a quiet spin like a fan or maybe the HD idling, but no sounds of activity. I tried leaving it on (latchlight solid and dim) for more than an hour, and also leaving it off and unplugged for more than an hour.
    I tried an old trick that used to work on a PowerBook G3 of plugging in a USB device as a way to interrupt a stall. I tried booting from the network. I scanned through these forums and saw quite a few recent posts like this.
    The only service trouble this MBP-17 has had in the past 15 months is a swolen battery that was replaced back in May-June. I had no trouble with the new battery.
    Any ideas of what else to do before calling AppleCare?

  • TS1367 MacBook Pro startup problems?

    My MacBook pro (late 2008 model upgraded with OSX lion) locked up on me, now it will turn on and start to boot up but when progress bar is about half finished it shuts down?  Any advice short of taking it to Apple store/genius?

    I have a problem where the start up starts for a while and then the screen goes black.  It is like the machine is asleep.  In order to try again you have to hold the power button down to shut down.  I have re installed lion and it works fine, but as soon as it updates, the problems starts again

  • Windows 7 pro causing problems in Premiere

    I just installed windows 7 on my machine and I am having issues with Premiere.  Sometimes it doesn't want to play my time line.  I hit play or spacebar and nothing plays.  Then of course I restart and it works fine.  Other times I hit play and it plays but then does not stop.  I have to force quit it to stop.
    I have three machines and the two that have windows 7 both have the same problem, and the one I have been running XP runs fine.  Does anyone else have these problems?

    For the play-won't-stop issue, try clicking in the timecode text field of the Timeline panel.  That's always worked for me.  FWIW, I never had this issue on Vista 64.  It's only appeared, quite randomly, on Windows 7 x64.
    Curious: do you have an nVIDIA card?  If so, what driver version?  Logitech mouse?  I ask because hardware/driver combos may be a trigger.

  • Windows Surface pro site problems

    I have a website http://final-5.businesscatalyst.com I have it set up with tablet and mobile site redrects. The site looks like it should on most tablets but not the surface pro I was wondering is there was a way to stop it redircting to just the windows surface's and load the desktop version but on the ipad ect load the tablet site?
    Thanks
    Jason

    Hi Jason
    I believe you want to restrict the orientation of site when opened in surface tablet.
    With native Muse features we cannot stop orientation changing when user is trying to use the device ,though can be done using custom code.
    Its not advisable to restrict users from using the orientation they want to use the site, but you can try the suggestions mentioned in the documents :

  • Windows 10 pro upgrade problems from windows 7 pro

    touch pad is now inoperable, had to hook up external mouse to operate computer. needs to be tweeked out a little more i guess. 

    Hi    Ok best thing to do using your machines Recovery program is reset the machine back to factory settings , Try and do at least one round of Windows updates and you should be  pushed the Upgrade again . Try the upgrade again  and see how things go BUT if you get a error message again during the upgrade you have 2 choices , Again reset the machine to Win 7  and wait for a couple of months for Windows 10 to bed in and bugs being sorted out OR you could try and do a clean install using the Windows 10 media creation tool  ( link below ) you will need a recordable dvd or flash stick ( at least 4GB in size )to create the ISO.  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10                            Checkurtech
