| » UMAX ASTRA 1200L SCANNER SOFTWARE |
| Posted by agisoec - 03-14-10 18:51 - 0 comments |
|
I bought a UMAX ASTRA 1220L scanner at an auction, but no installation disk. I guess it's an 1220 "L"; on the label the "L" looks like an "|". Actually, with a closer look, it might be a "U". It won't install to Windows XP Pro SP2 and the wizard can't find the installation software on a net search.
Anybody have an idea where I couldget/purchase and installation disk??
Thanks, AGISOEC

| » CPU fan not spinning |
| Posted by GIGA_Hurtz - 03-14-10 18:31 - 0 comments |
|
Hello,
I am helping troubleshoot a friends PC and am kinda stuck. I've looked around a lot online and couldn't seem to find anything exactly like my problem, found a lot close but no cigars.
Now the problem is, the CPU fan is not spinning and there are no visuals (no bios or boot up or anything). Everything else on the computer runs though (from what i can hear and visually see). The fans on the case and power supply are spinning. The Hard drive and CD/DVD drive are working. The Graphics card powers up and its fan spins. I have checked all the power supply connectors with my digital multimeter and they are all fine and within the correct ranges. He did not add anything new or replaced anything recently.
So the conclusion i came to is either the CPU or Motherboard. I wanna say its the motherboard because the fan for the CPU would continue to run even if it was broken, right?
This is why i have come here, Please provide your input
thanks

| » Can't open folder. |
| Posted by BogdanSin - 03-14-10 15:51 - 0 comments |

Never experienced this before, and I haven't come up with anything useful searching google.
I have 4 folders on my external harddrive, 3 of the 4 open, but one does not. I've searched for files that I knew were in that folder and I could open them that way, so I'm relieved to know that my files are still intact. Any help would be appreciated.

| » System recovery without disc? |
| Posted by oraclepc - 03-14-10 14:38 - 1 comments |
|
Hello all, it's good to be back here again.  Anywhoo, I'm having an issue with my mothers computer. The origin of the issue is my fault. I installed Windows XP on a HP Pavilion a1730n, a PC that I later found out is only truly capable of running Vista. I found this out when I tried to install the sound driver. I was reading the system requirements, and saw that the driver was only compatible with Windows Vista. SO HERE IS THE MAIN SOLUTION/PROBLEM: I want to do the recovery, and restore it back to Vista, so everything will work as it should. Thankfully, when I installed XP on the computer, I left the recovery partition alone on the hard drive. However when I press F11 on the start up screen, it just skips right to the XP loading screen. To answer a question you're probably thinking about asking: No I do not have the recovery disc, and I would rather not pay $15 to HP for a new one, and wait for it to arrive (well my mother doesn't want to wait). 1) Does the recovery partition still contain data for the original settings? 2) If yes, then how do I access it and recover the computer back to the original Vista settings? I appreciate the help in advance.

| » Rythmic Lag spikes in games attributed to CPU usage? |
| Posted by Ash the Phantom - 03-14-10 10:31 - 0 comments |
|
While playing an online game, Cabal Online, I'm noticing rythmic spikes of slowdowns and lag which I think are attributed to certain processes taking up CPU and making CPU usage spike up and down. I know my computer's specs are capable of playing the game, I never had any lag issues 2 months prior to these issues, but now they started randomly and aren't letting up. My Graphics card is a GeForce 8400 GS, for PCI computers, I have 2 Gigs of Ram and a Intel Celeron processor with 2.4 Ghz. The strangest thing is, it seems to ease up when I have Mozilla Firefox running in the background. These are my open processes as I have them while playing the game normally, as taken from Process Explorer. CODE Process PID CPU Description Company Name

okay so when I boot up my computer with in 3 - 5 minutes my computer freezes...I am not talking about Freeze for a second then keep going. I am talking about everything freezes mouse wont move task manager wont come up or anything. I left it like that one time it happend to see if it would ever start working again and no. I have to manually unplug it to get it to work all the usb stops responding and everything. I thought it might be over heating so I took every thing apart and blew it out with air. didn't help I put a box fan on low and let it blow in it to keep it cool to see if that would help no. I am currently in Safe mode and it seems to be not freezing I ran a virus scan three times and nothing has shown up. I am completely at a loss here. Does anyone know what is going on?

| » Problem Booting Up |
| Posted by Skydog - 03-13-10 15:40 - 2 comments |
|
I’m new to the site. I apologize if this message is not placed in the right forum.
I have a laptop with Windows 2000 that is not booting up fully. I can get the Login screen but after I click through that, it doesn’t do anything more. It just stays on the main screen but with no buttons to click or desktop icons, menu bar, etc. I don’t even get the Start button in the bottom left corner
I’ve tried a number of times to boot up and on a couple of occasions (but not always) I got the following message:
Cpfrl.exc.Application Error
The exception illegal instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction (0xc000001d) occurred in the application at location 0x00408444
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on Cancel to debug the program
I tried both Ok and Cancel and still didn’t get any further
I also tried to boot up once using Last Known Good Configuration and the same thing happened.
I then tried Safe Mode and got the following message:
***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF5C2384C, 0xC0000034, 0x0000000, 0x00000000) INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Then it gave me instructions to restart and check for viruses and remove any newly installed hard drives, none of which I can do because I can’t fully boot up the computer.
I don't have a newly installed hard drive.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I was wondering if there's a way that I can play videos I have saved on my computer to stream through my webcam feed to someone I'm chatting with. I have a built in Dell webcam in my laptop.
Thanks for the help!

A few months back I got a new USB 2.0 Multi Reader / Writer reader for my camera's memory card as I could no longer do it through the normal memory card slot on my laptop as it was broken!
This worked fine for 3 or so months until a few weeks ago when I slotted it in and recieved the message that the drive had to be formatted, I click agree to this as there was no important pictures on the camera, it came up saying this could not be done as it may be protected etc...
Formatted the Card IN the camera also but still, no joy. Basically meaning I can no longer upload my pictures to my laptop.
The memory card is a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo, 2GB.
Pretty confused as to why it has suddenly stopped working when I had no problems for the first few months, if anyone has experienced / fixed or knows anything I can do to correct this then please let me know.
Let me know if any further information is required.
Thanks.
