| 748922 | 2009-02-18 06:52:00 | OK thats interesting, you may be onto something as when the desktop is loading it always seems to freeze and/or reboot (cylce) when loading the wireless utility, and the fact that safe mode only works with networking disabled. I may remove the wireless PCI card and see what happens. Will also fix the issues mentioned, thanks Speedy. | JMoore (9352) | ||
| 748923 | 2009-02-18 06:58:00 | Safe mode usually works, because it doesnt load anything but what you need to boot into it. And sometimes, its a good way of diagnosing probs. And sometimes its the only way to remove nasties in startup (that maybe screwing up a system) By the looks of it, showdeskfix is silently unregistering shell32 (thats what the /s means), which is used for a few programs in windows. And things probably crash / wont work, because shell32 isnt registered and its needed |

| 748924 | 2009-02-18 07:07:00 | Alright we've made some progress. Fixed the items you mentioned Speedy, but didn't seem to make a difference on startup. Then completely removed wireless PCI card and the system now boots into windows fine. Although now I have no internet... not sure if the card is stuffed or if there is some way to reinstall it and avoid the same issues. DVD Drive still not working however - could this have been caused by putting a large magnet (wireless aeriel) on top of the case above the DVD drive? Any ideas appreciated. |
JMoore (9352) | ||
| 748925 | 2009-02-18 07:14:00 | Nah dont think putting an aerial on a case would stuff the DVD. I've got the modem/router on top of mine. Its fine (I think) The wireless card drivers maybe corrupted. Try downloading a newer version then reinstall the drivers Does the DVD work at all?? Does it load cd's/dvds? |

| 748926 | 2009-02-18 07:54:00 | Just got mine going again - :nerd: Mind you it is my job :lol: As speedy suggested - it is a wireless network PCMCIA network card ( old laptop) ripped out the wireless drivers,rebooted- reinstalled from the CD that came with the original card - alls well . Regarding the DVD Writer - right click My Computer/properties/ Hardware tab/ Device manager/ look to see if the DVD drive actually shows - if it does, expand out the DVD/CD list - right click the DVD drive - uninstall ( agree to any prompts) reboot - the PC should automatically pick up the DVD drive again - its possible the drivers for the DVD got screwed and thats not reading correctly as well . |

| 748927 | 2009-02-21 04:51:00 | OK, time to revive this thread. Removed card, uninstalled wireless drivers, replaced card and reinstalled driver from manufacturers website. All good. Uninstalled DVD driver, rebooted, recognised drive and can read media. So far so good. When I try to connect to our wireless network, as soon as I enter the WEP password and hit connect, the system instantly reboots. I've tried it a couple of times. Doesn't do it with other networks and I have just noticed that my DVD drive isn't reading again - related to the reboot issue I assume. Any clues? |

| 748928 | 2009-02-21 05:03:00 | Does it crash / still come up with a BSOD?? Press the windows key + pause. Go to advanced / startup and recovery / settings Untick automatically restart Look in event viewer (start/run, type eventvwr). Look under application / system, about the time it rebooted (it may have a bugcheck entry here, or an X ). Double click on it. Highlight the text / press Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V in here. So we can see what it says |

| 748929 | 2009-02-21 05:24:00 | Yea still crashing or rebooting automatically. Changed setting so that it won't automatically restart but instead of going to BSOD as expected it seems to just freeze. Looked in event viewer and found the following events under System: There is an initial TCPIP information bubble: Source: TCPIP The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{34C064EF-49FC-458B-B39B-11075FC7259F} was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the networ adapter. Followed by a Warning: Source: DHCP Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address 000F3D0381D7. The IP address being used is 169.254.145.236. Then the following Errors: Source: W32Time Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the manually configured peer 'time.windows.com,0x1'. NtpClient will try the DNS lookup again in 15 minutes. The error was: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. (0x80072751) And: Source: W32Time The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 14 minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time. Just copied these onto a laptop with net as unable to access internet connection on PC. Sorry for any mistakes. |

| 748930 | 2009-02-21 05:30:00 | Those errors wont crash it, theyre fine . Sounds like the card maybe knackered . I would replace (chuck it out and buy another) it . Or if its new / under warranty, take it back and replace it with another Since it looks like its crashing, when you use it Since its still connected, press windows key + pause again then go to hardware / device manager . Anything showing a X or !?? Click on all the +'s |
