thank you.I get start windows normally screen all time i boot my xp,help me to solve this.?
First, disconnect the computer from all cabling, open it up and ensure your TV card is properly seated into its slot. If it looks OK, remove it and re-insert it, there might be bad contact on one or more of the pins. If oyu have another open slot you could also try putting it there.



Boot up to see if it works.You should also try booting up without the card installed to see if it boots up without a problem.



If this does not solve your problem then uninstall the software that came with it and re-install it. Ensure you use an XP version, not a version for previous OS.



If this still does not fix your problem send the card to the manufacturer for warranty repairs. Before the warranty runs out.I get start windows normally screen all time i boot my xp,help me to solve this.?
The device itself or the drivers for your device are crashing Windows. Focus on that device--get updated drivers or get it replaced/removed.
you have the answer already.. try to update the drivers for intex tv tuner if any.



Also do you follow the proper shut down procedure?
first thing is to obviously uninstall the tv tuner thing to see if that helps, also are you shutting your computer down correctly if you just turn it off then you will get that message

Computer locks up at POST screen, can you help?

Well... I just learned a very valuable lesson... Never trust a ';buddy'; when it comes to your computer... A ';buddy'; of mine came over while I was posting a message in another forum, trying to get some help with a problem I'm having upgrading my RAM... In the forum, I was getting assistance with my RAM timings and voltage, because those are things I've never dealt with before... Anyway, my friend read the entire thread and decided that he knew how to handle the situation, and he actually thought it was funny that I did not. Moron... He went in to setup, went into the DIMM control settings and changed ';CLOCK'; from ';BY SPD'; to either 166MHz or 200MHz (he can not remember which) and changed ';TIMING'; from ';MANUAL'; to ';TURBO';. Then he rebooted. When the screen came up that tells you to press DEL to enter setup or ESC to cancel POST, it froze up. I have tried rebooting about 20 times since then and it always freezes at that screen. I have tried changing the RAM, booting with the Startup Disk I made... I even tried removing the CMOS battery and waiting 2 minutes to replace it. I can not get into setup or anything else.



Any ideas?Computer locks up at POST screen, can you help?
remove the cmos batter for longer around an hour also remove the power from the mains supply, then give it a tryComputer locks up at POST screen, can you help?
Did a smoke or something like that happened? Removing CMOS battery would have cleaned it but you said didn't so I suspect permanent damage. Did you do the battery-removal thing when the power is completely unplugged? If not do it that way.



And there is a CMOS CLR pin on the board usually, and usually it is a 3-pin array thing.
power own your pc without the cmos battery it will load with the default configuration

How do I fix a Inaccessible Boot Device error?

I am getting this error when I try to start up my dell Latitude C400 running Windows NT 2000 and I get the blue screen of death that says ***STOP: 0x00000008b (0xFCDAD030 etc, etc) INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.



I've copied Dell's websites explanation, but they offer no way to fix it. How do I fix it!?



From Dell.com:



Your computer is infected with a boot sector virus.

A device driver required by your boot controller is not configured to start at boot time or is corrupt. If during a WINNT /B installation no mass storage device was detected.

A resource conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller in the system, or between SCSI devices.

Drive translation is not being performed, or was changed.

The boot volume is corrupt and cannot be mounted by Windows NT.

boot it in safe mode, and run the anti virus. If you can't do that then format the hard disk, Sorry
If it really is a virus, you need to boot from a antivirus boot disk and then have it check the hard drive.



Also make sure the cables are connected correctly and not loose, but I don't think you'd get the BSOD.



Try booting from a floppy or CD and check the partitions of the drive. Also go into your BIOS settings and make sure the drive is properly recognized.



Almost sounds like a driver problem. Is the disc encrypted? Did you recently change anything dealing with the system or HD?

Fedora 7 linux questions and annoyances?

I have Windows XP Pro on one partition. I installed fedora 7 in the other partition (now I'm using fedora as I'm typing this) and when booting up the select operating system menu doesn't appear, so I can't boot up windows if needed. What should I do? Also, I can't see the other partition from fedora (I mean the partition where windows is installed). How can I change the screen resolution on fedora other than 800x600. There are only two options 640x480 and 800x600? Is there any way to change it to 104x768?Fedora 7 linux questions and annoyances?
First, hopefully you installed Grub boot manager when you installed Fedora. If so you can add the XP partition to the

Grub menu by editing /boot/grub/grub.conf from your root userid. It will look something like this.

rootnoverify (hd0,0) %26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; careful to use the right partition

Check out the links below.



Change your screen resolution from

system-%26gt;Administration-%26gt;Display



I am assuming you are using KDE and that is how you can do it there. You will need to enter your root password.

If you are not given the correct resolution is it because you have the wrong video card or monitor defined to X windows. So go to the Hardware tab and make sure you have the correct video card and/or monitor defined.Fedora 7 linux questions and annoyances?
There is an xorg.conf file somewhere (can't remember off hand, try googling) I had this issue of resolution too. You need to edit the file and type in the resolution you want.



What type of boot manager does FC use? Something like Grub or LILO?

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info

When i boot from windows cd it gives a black screen?

today i wanted to repair my windows so i inserted my windows cd (that i used a lot of times before) but i was surprised that after the statement '; setup is inspecting your hardware ................... '; it gives a black screen with nothing instead of the ordinary blue one .



i searched the web and found solutions concerning the master boot record and how to repair it .

i tried that but no use



my windows boots normal and other OS cds run well , only when i boot the windows cd -which i tried to change with another cd but it didn't work too- it gives me the black screen.When i boot from windows cd it gives a black screen?
When you turn on your computer, go to the BIOS, and make sure the Boot is on CD FIRST, if it's not it won't work.

Also make sure the CD's not scratched, if you need help getting to the BIOS just email me.

Why does my Kubuntu install not recognise my screen resolution changes.?

I'm using Kubuntu 9.04. I have a Sempron 2800 processor, 1gb ram and a Radeon 9600 pro graphics card. When I started it up the resolution was at 1600 x something or other. I went into system settings %26gt; administration %26gt; display and changed it to 1200 x something. But whenever I boot up it still opens at 1600 x something until I access system settings %26gt; administration %26gt; display, when I access that it suddenly remembers my settings and changes the resolution back.



How come my saved resolution is not being implemented at bootup?Why does my Kubuntu install not recognise my screen resolution changes.?
There is NO manufacturer's software for the card under Linux. Try setting it as the root user. It may be that your account is reading the superuser settings.Why does my Kubuntu install not recognise my screen resolution changes.?
You might try making the resolution change through the Radeon software that came with the card. I had that issue once before. I forget the name of the software, but that is probably the reason that is happening.
because KDE is unstable! stick with ubuntu.

Formating with windows xp How do i get the CD to open?

I'm trying to format my hard drive. But when i put the cd in my hard drive and restart it, the computer comes on as it normally would. What do i press at the start up screen to make the disk boot? I read that you have to enter the setup when the computer first comes on and change the boot order to the cd rom drive. I did that..... but nothing. Unless i did it wrong. Can someone also tell me how to do that Please!!Formating with windows xp How do i get the CD to open?
If you burnt the CD and it is not in proper format then the CD is no good. The key that you have to push varies by computer make. Type what it says when you first start your computer, eg. F2. It's usually located on the bottom when you first start your computer and this time choose the option for going to boot sequence; it should say boot something. Then use your keyboard to scroll to the CD drive and hit enter. Other than that you can try opening the CD after you start up windows if its a cd not formatted properly, it works too most of the time.

Laptop LCD issue?

My laptops screen is pitch WHITE, i have a reasonable clue as to what might be causing the problem, could be inverter but thats a guess, to put further insight into the issue, I had turned it on last week and from the cold boot it was pure white, it didnt change colors during the entire boot process, when it came to the logon window the screen resized as most windows based OS do to the default size, nothing changed, the screen stayed white.



http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5319/



To rule out any VGA or graphics going bad i plugged it into an LCD monitor, as barely seen behind it. When used on an external monitor it showed everything, the bootup and log in and so forth, worked out great.



But as you can SEE things arnt so great wih the laptops monitor, whats your opinion of how to fix the problem at hand?Laptop LCD issue?

How do I boot to single user?

The newest ubuntu distro. I keep entering my root password and it will not work I even tried caps lock but nothing. I need to change the root I press E on grub and edit the kernel by pressing E again exit by pressing enter (to save changes if I go back they are still there) finally esc to go back to the boot menu and booting ubuntu but it loads the GUI and gives me the login screen without giving me the prompt to change the root pw. What am I doing wrong?How do I boot to single user?
