Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for the above enquiry. This issue can be cause by installing windows update software licencing
or windows media player 11. Here's how to check click start, all programmes then windows media player.
A screen might be pop up (Below). Good luck with it all

Cont,

Here's a diagnostics in verifying if you're windows is genuine or not. most likely you"ll get
this windows is valid. however the disk that was used to windows on your laptop has been used
several time on another computer hence why you were getting the message.

Click start then run type in oobe/msoobe /a
press enter

Good luck

is d above meant 4 me too or some1 else?

I use a compaq presario c300, with windows xp sp2. I took it along on a bumpy road recently and ever since it stopped startin up, it boots on, flashes a blue screen error then gives a number of options. Any attempt of the options only restarts and returns to the previous options.

I tried repairin but its sayin no hard disk was found, i made sure u hard disk is in place and also performed a hard disk test which was successful. What can be the prob?

@ preshizeee  Its very simple the charger is not good try another change and see what am saying see all the these ( OTIGBA is not genuine enough ) but what will poor nigerians do

Dear Deribigbe,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding system and power performance when
charger is connected.Like my colleague has advised to try and swap test the charger can
rule out the possibility of faulty charger or notebook power jack failure. Seems you're using a
universal or a generic charger. Here's your diagnostics in ruling out hardware or software failures.

Click http://www.pcreview.co.uk/articles/Windows/Vista_Power_Options/ and follow screen instructions
all the way down. Look cpu performance when charger is connected and try increasing or decreaing then test


Like a doctor always advice read the label same as always read the on screen instructions if you're in doubts dont do it.

Good luck

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by henryskywalker2003(m): 10:43pm On Oct 04, 2010
@ceasyc , nero is not a free product but u can get the trial edition from their website www(dot)nero(dot)com. its a heavy software so i hope ur system is up to the task. if its only burning u need it for then i suggest u go for the free softies like ashampoo burning software free edition or imgburn. they will do the job wella.

@ebiye55, try to remove any external devices and remove cd plates from the rom while u use it. it helps too.

first things first
did it stop starting up or stop booting up
you might need to reconfigure your hard disk settings
under configuration check wether your hard disk is SATA or IDE if it is SATA then you will need a windows xp cd with sata drivers inside cos by default windows xp sp2 does not suppport hard drives
insert the windows xp cd with sata drivers and enable your system to boot from cd
punch the R key untill the recovery menu comes up and follow on screen insructions


but

i'll suggest you take it to a nearby technician as it might also be a hardware problem,
and you might not have all the neccssary tools to get your system working again,
thanks,

I Please stan, i hail u. how can i have access to my system. I forgot my admin password and i can't afford to format the system for anything. Is there a way i can break into the system without losing any file.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Centjay: 5:30pm On Oct 07, 2010
hello guru. my battery shuts my system down when i put it. The first battery was burnt or damaged by a power surge from my generator. I managed to put the system to normal state because it damaged everything. Now my system is ok but my battery cannot power the system. I bought a new battery but the battery does not charge when i put it. What can i do about it? I took it to my engineer and he could'nt fix it. I am using it only with nepa light while i have a new battery. Please tell me what to do about it. What can i change in the system to make it start charging my battery
thanks
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by henryskywalker2003(m): 1:23am On Oct 08, 2010
@centjay. It is very possible to retrieve ur files, and even remove ur password. Get a linux live cd eg ubuntu. Put it into ur cd drive and boot from it. When u get to the desktop, go to the top panel and click on places. It will display among other things, your hard disk. Click on it to mount and open it. Copy out your files to flash drive and reboot. If you get into any problem give me a call and I'll walk u thru. As for the battery problem, am not so good with fixing hardware but my best guess would be that the components that convey power to the system from the battery is damaged. See a good technician for that.

(1) Pls my pc refuse to booth(come up) despite powerlight being on. When i press the power button to put it on, the powerlight would show, u can also feel the processor working But the system wont booth(come up). Meanwhile when its pluged to light it charges normal but still wont come up. (2) My harddisk memory is 250gig so the system splitted it into two; Disk c: (acer) having 110gig. And dick D: (Data) having 110gig. Now the disk csadacer) memory is filled. How do i switch to disk D: (Data) which is still empty because whenever i want to save something the system would say no space or memory not enough. Meanwhile i still have 110gig in disk D: (data).

@benqozenero, I guess u re the one that called me in the morning. have u tried plugging in a monitor to your laptop to be sure it is not ur screen that is having an issue. try that and let me know the outcome.

@kindability, before u install a game, check if ur hardware meets up with the recommended specs, else in worse case scenarios, it wont install. let me know ur system configuration and also show a screenshot of the error message. I checked out ur laptop and saw that its a netbook. netbooks usually come with intel atom processor and its not meant for any heavy work like games and mulitimedia editing. its probably why u get the error messages, but then i could be wrong. let me know ur system specs.

It could be a malware fault, just run gpedit.msc, go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Ctrl Alt Del Options
Set Remove Task Manager to disabled and u're done cool
