WINDOWS XP2 WON'T LOAD - THE DREADED 39 MINUTES TO INSTALL THEN SHUTDOWN

I have within the last month purchased 6 identical 20" IMacs for the office all with Tiger OS. Five of them loaded Windows without any problems, but the sixth machine goes through the setup program, then reboots and shows a screen that there are 39 minutes left to install Windows, then it shuts down. I have uninstalled the Windows partition, reinstalled it choosing a different size (but always in NTFS format), reinstalled the operating system, tried a different Windows installation disk, copied the installation disk using the IMac, but still the problem persists. If I remove the CD Windows tells me that it is searching for the ASMS file. I have now just installed Leopard in the hope that it would resolve the issue, but it has not, the problem is still the same. I have seen mention on the Discussion Forum of using MacFuse and NTFS-3g to solve the problem, but my computing skills are not advanced enough to be able to implement these. Can anyone give me any further advice?

I do'nt know whether this help you but I recently installed a new drive in a friend's system. I primed the drive using seagate's disk wizard; I remember when it had finished preparing drive it said do not insert O/S CD or floppy, wait for seagate logo on screen. I think I must have ignored it because as soon as I got press any key to boot from CD I did and started lo load windows. It copied files over to disc fine when it booted from hard drive to continue with installation I got the message you referred to "<root system>/system32/hal.dll is missing or corrupt."
After several attempts it dawned on me what I had done, so I allowed the seagate logo to load, then it prompted me to boot from floppy or CD. I chose CD and commenced installation of XP, which was flawless after that.
Hope this helps. If not, someone else might find it useful.
Good luck Dave.

When opening several different websites (but not all), it says "landing (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels) on the tab and it won't load the website. I recently installed Kaspersky & also updated to newest Firefox.

I recently installed Kaspersky & also updated to newest Firefox. This doesn't happen on the other computers I loaded Kaspersky on. I am on Windows Vista with this computer (the others have XP or 7)

But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

Windows 7 won't load properly / possible HDD failure?

Well I will start off by saying I've been having problems with this since I've bought it. It used to be under warranty and I had to ship it back twice, and I've had to do countless system recoveries but this time I'm at a loss. My current problem started about 4 days ago. I had skype downloaded, and my skype started freezing randomly, but only for 30 seconds to a minute, and then come right back to working. Then this started happening more frequently, and then it got to the point to where it wasn't just skype that would freeze, it was my computer. It must have only been explorer.exe that was freezing or something because my mouse still moved, and if I was in a skype call the skype call would work but I couldnt type or click on skype without it saying that it wasn't responding. Then yesterday that problem upgraded again to nothing working very well. My computer (again I can only assume it was explorer or something) would start up normally, and then once I got to my desktop the load light would come on my tower and freeze / slow down anything and everything. Example was I had VLC media player open watching a show and the video would freeze for 2 to 5 minutes, play for 10 seconds, then freeze again. Beforehand it was only slight lock ups, but then it became full blown lockups. Once that load light came on it stayed on and never wavered and I would be forced to restart my computer to even give it a chance to run properly for a few minutes before this same problem would occur. Yesterday however the problem upgraded once again, and my computer wouldn't even let me get to my desktop normally. I was able to load into safemode with networking to try some solutions but nothing worked. Then the hangup issue started occuring in safe mode as well, forcing me to restart again. This is where it just keeps getting worse sadly. My computer would get to the "Starting Windows" screen, sit there for a couple minutes, then maybe 1 out of 10 attempts it would get to the "Welcome" screen as if it was trying to load my desktop but never would load it, and on the other 9 attempts I didn't make it to the "Welcome" screen it just sat a black screen with the load light going and it would never do anything. My mouse has never been frozen at any point so it's not a full on freeze situation, but something isn't right. I did a sytem recovery last night, put it back once again to factory settings and it still locked up a little but nothing compared to how it had been. I turned my pc off and went to sleep, and then this morning it did the usual not getting past the "starting windows" screen. Sometimes it wouldn't even recognize my hard drive, giving me the old "insert media and boot from disc" or "No media found", I also got two errors, PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable, and the other message was PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM. Then after receiving those messages my computer would restart and give me the choice to hit a button to load from disk. Throught the course of this problem I tried startup repairs, smart tests, anti viruses, nothing did anything to help. So I decided once again it was going to be time for a system recovery, but now when I hit f11 to go into the system recovery options, all of it is blacked out. I can't even click on system recovery anymore. So at this point Windows 7 won't load at all, not even in safe mode, and I'm lucky to even be given the OPTION to start it in safe mode. Half of the time it seems my computer doesnt even recognize my harddrive, and I can't even do a system recovery or repair tools, but the repair tools didn't really do anything anyway. So I have no way to use that computer, and Im thinking it might be HDD failure but I'm not hearing any noises coming from it and my computer has always been a little slow so it's not like things have slowed down by a lot so I'm not so sure its my HDD but I have no idea what to do or where to start since I've exhausted all my of resources on trying to fix this issue myself. I know this problem is probably way too vague to try to get an accurate idea of what is wrong, but I will check back now and then and answer any questions to the best of my ability (I'm not tech savy so if you need really fancy PC information you wil most likely need to tell me how to acquire said information). I mean I guess if I have to I will get a new HDD, but that means I will most likely need to get a new OS, and I love windows 7 with all my heart and I don't want to upgrade at windows 8. I feel like it's my OS but it could very well be anything at this point.

Hi @rhhox ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Started loading mavericks on my laptop, won't load the system and cancels out at 49%. Can you help

All I can suggest is to reinstall Windows, see link below on how to order recovery media for your model. You will have to reinstall Ubuntu after using the recovery media so back up your files to an external drive. You can order HP recovery media below, or call HP on the phone to order 1-800-474-6836

My ipod touch broke then replaced it with a new one. I already dloaded iOS5 on the old one. When I connected my new unit it says it won't load the previous back because the new one is not up to date... Do I really have to download iOS5 again?

Yes, you have to update the iPod in order to retore from backup. The iOS on the "new" has to be aequal to r greater than on the iPod from which the backup was made. The iOS downloads are unique to an iDevice and model (the one for a 3G iPod will not work for a 4G iPod).

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When you click on the Playclaw's Encoder tab, what do you see in the next dialog for Video Compression when the Container field in that dialog is set to .avi?
Since you are seeing some video at all in Premiere Elements (glitchy as it is), I am assuming the video compression is not AVCHD. If that were the case, I would expect you not to be able to import the file at all. By any chance is the video compression Xvid or DivX?
It appears that Video compression could also be "H.264 Intel QuickSync" with a mkv file extension. That seems ruled out since you say your file extension is .avi and not mkv.
So, with the .avi file extension
what is listed as Video Compression and what have you done, if anything, under the Encoder Setup button?
Do you have the same issues with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Also, if you took footage that worked before in Premiere Elements back into today's Premiere Elements, problems or no problems?
At this time, can you import a bunch of jpg photos into a project and work without this type of issue?
Thanks.

My JSP engine won't load the new source from my page

My JSP engine won't load the new source from my page, even know I saved it, and I restarted apache, and resaved the files again, no dice! It must be running off of cash, it's not in my browser cash I cleared it out too, what else can I do?

Tomcat checks to see if the JSP has changed since it was last compiled with you request that page... So, if the file is updated, it should recompile it. Are you sure that when you update the page, you're updating the same copy of the page? (the location defined in the server.xml file)

Windows Update for windows 7 won't update the Intel Corporation - Display - Intel (R) HD Graphics

Hi there, a couple of times the windows update on my windows 7 won't update the Intel Corporation - Display - Intel (R) HD Graphics.
What could be the problem?
How can this be solved?

Hello palette35,
Welcome to the community.
You’re having problems with windows not updating the graphics.
It could be security setting blocking the update
You can go to HP.com and download the driver directly.
Here is a link to the site. You’ll need your product number.
Let me know if this helps.

ITunes won't load the songs from purchased music CDs

When loading purchased music CDs, the CD loads but iTunes won't load the songs. Error message: "The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for the file." I'm using an iMac PPC G4 with 768 MB RAM and OS 10.4.11 with iTunes 4.7.1. If I copy the songs into a folder I can push them into the iTunes library but these are huge AIFF files with no info and the machine can't (won't) transfer them into AAC files.

To what format are you trying to convert? What settings are you using? Has this just started or is this the first time trying this? I really don't know what the limitations are for iTunes 4.7. I thought I was being a luddite in sticking with 7.5....
Try an alternative ripper such as XLD or Max.

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

SCC-2345 won't recognize the (2) SCC-SG24s I installed

SCC-2345 won't recognize the (2) SCC-SG24s I installed.
They don't show up as a MAX selection. They are installed
in J3 and J4. I've tried moving them to different slots with
but they still don't show up.
We have a 6052E card connected to the SCC-2345. We are
using Labview 7.0 Developer Suit. Operating system is Windows
2000.
The (2) SCC-SG04s we have installed do show up as a
selection and work well.
Can anyone point me toward a resolution to this problem?

Alan,
Thanks for your reponse, it was dead on.
After updating, the scc-sg24s now appear as a drop down selection but now
I have another problem. My PCI-6052 DAQ board now does not appear as
a selection to "add". Immediately after updating NI-DAQ I fired up MAX and
even though the scc-sg24 appeared as a selection, this selection, the
scc-2435, our pci-6052, and all other modules fitted to the pci-6052/scc-2435
appear with a red "X" next to them.
I renamed the existing <Data> directory and allowed MAX to recreate it but the
PCI-6052 appears ONLY as a legacy selection and can not be added/selected to
DAQmx.
I can add the scc-2345 DIRECTLY to DAQmx and also select all the modules
that we have loaded into it, but after I select <OK> I get an error message that I
haven't selected a digital interface
I'm assuming this is because I can't add the 2345(I have to add it directly to
DAQmx) to the 6052 because the 6052 doesn't show as an available option to be
added to DAQmx.
Do you know if there is other software or drivers I need to update?
Again, thanks for your help.
