    Hi shrimply. I wonder if a software application is doing this. Things like this can often times be difficult to figure out. I'm on Windows 7 at the moment but it should be similar to Vista. Can you check Event Viewer for some clues? Control Panel>Adminstrative Tools>Event Viewer>Windows Logs>Applications One of the other logs or even Task Schedular might also give you a clue. The last log entries after a resume from hibernation might give a clue if this is the case.

    Hi Ballroom. If you don't mind I'm going to move this thread to the XP section.

    I'm clueless when it comes to Linux but I have heard of the method you are trying. There are others here that are experienced with this method. As data recovery is a high priority for you please wait for them to answer. There is also the option of taking out your drive and hooking it up to another computer which will also work. I understand your desire to be cautious. I would probably feel the same way.

    I just read this cnet article earlier today. It seems that one of the updates is indeed the problem. At the bottom of the article is the fix.

    The exact error message would be a big help. It might point to hard drive or graphics problems for example. Have you looked in Device Manager for any problems? Since this is an hp I might add that you might have hp diagnostics built in such as HP Solutions Center or HP Support Assistant. Options vary by model. Anyway I'm going to supply a few links in case anyone needs them. HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7770.uk Desktop PC Manual. Drivers and Software Downloads. Solve a problem. Monitor/Video/Graphics problems. Product Specifications.

    I think that might be just the computer case and not the computer itself. It might be a built computer rather than an off the shelf one. If so you will need the XP disk. It has to be the full installation media and not a recovery disk. I would wait for others to comment on the best course of action for you to take. However read this in the mean time. A repair will not cause loss of data. How To Run a Repair Install

    Hi shawnh. If you can't even get into safemode you may need to perform a repair installation. What is the make, model and number of the PC? Do you have any disks that came with it?

    That's great. I'm glad it worked. Thanks for the donation and for letting us know you got it fixed.

    Click on Drivers and Downloads on the left. Enter Esprimo E5905 in the search box. Select your operating system. Tic the circle. It doesn't look like you can but scroll down with the scroll bar on the web page not your browsers scroll bar. Click LAN. Click on the driver you need which I think is BCM5751 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (Onboard on D2164-A1x) Click Download.

    Thanks rebecca. I'm terrible at remembering dates.

    Did you try the Device Driver - BCM5751 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (Onboard on D2164-A1x) - ESPRIMO E5905? It can be found at Fujitsu Downloads.

    Thanks Bob. Always good to hear from you.

    Vista really should have 2gb but I still think your hard drive is failing. At 1gb and freshly installed it shouldn't be "really slow". You can try more ram if you want to though.

    You could try booting into safemode. Tiny went out of business and I think your model has Windows 98 installed not XP. If that's the case I wouldn't waste any time on it if I were you. It's not supported and very little you can do with it these days. Did you happen to find the installation disk and boot floppy?
  15. RandyL
    I'm confused as to what brand of computer you have. What disks are you using, hp or PB?
  16. RandyL
    There are good people everywhere. I had found the advice given to your posts there while researching. Since they had already given the most likely solution I didn't think it needed to be said twice.

    What does it say when you right click one of the files? What is the file extension? What does it say it opens with?

    Hi bill. I would say you know quite a bit if you can build.

    Hi Gadgie. Good luck here.

    DciAdmin probably has your answer at Help default Email will now NOT open!! - PC Help Forum

    Sorry nick but I think this one breaks rule number 4 of The Rules as it circumvents copyright protection. I know that's not your intent but we have to protect ourselves. Sorry bud.

    As Ken said try letting Windows reinstall the drivers. You can also look to see if there are newer drivers at hp Support & Drivers.

    Thankyou Nev. Thankyou KenB. I'm glad you took notice. Ken I know it's only a picture but it sure does look tasty. I wish I could actually eat that cake.
