Vista 32.
All of a sudden when logging on the laptop will hit a black screen and just hang there. You can move the mouse pointer, but the hdd will just sit churning.
Things like control panel uninstall programs, device manager can churn forever with no actual progress or won't even open.
Laptop also won't shut down past the "logging off" screen.
what I can do (before I go for a reinstall).
I'm using a Dell Latitude E6400 and I'm running the Wave Systems Embassy Security Software for my fingerprint reader.
The problem is that I would like to change the logon (welcome) picture in vista. I have now the Dell Wave default picture, which really sucks! Is there an option to change it, maybe through the registry?
I'm having a problem with software from Dell - Wave Embassy
My laptop is D630
Like a year a ago I set a password and a fingerprints on BIOS - during startup
Now I want to set also a fingerprint during windows login .....
I have an Inspririon 15R that is going to the black screen after I logon to Windows 8.

Everything looks good but at this point there's no way to use my fingerprints to logon with Win7 pro.
In control panel / programs I can see installed: Dell Data Protection | Security Tools and Dell Data Protection | Security Tools Authentication but I can't find out any program to manage my fingerprinters.
I tried almost everything, installing/uninstalling drivers, softwares and all this didn't work. I suppose that I should find a program or something that allows me to associate the enrolled fingerprints to my account.
I even tried to use Dell My Downloads (with Internet Explorer) but I cannot because during the installation I had the message Service Tag Number not supported.
Windows logon shows me, next to my account and security card, another "account" fingerprints, I even tried to login with this but I received the message "Fingerprint not verified" (obviously because they are not associated to any account)....
I get the following message everytime I turn my laptop on (Inspiron 1530) and there's only an OK button to press which just keeps bringing up the same message!
"Logon Process Initialization Failure
Interactive logon process initialization has failed.
Please consult the event log for more details"
As i can't even start up my computer, I can't view the event log ....
safari does not let me logon to "t-mobile" for my account but it lets me logon to AT&T, bank of america, NYCB,TD banking, and all other sites "WHY" does anyone else have this problem with T-mobile site ?

I have vista x64 on my vaio sz6 laptop and was thinking about the great Windows XP classic logon screen(press ctrl+alt+delete to logon and how it had empty boxes to enter user name and password). I was able to get this working properly on 1/2 computers w/ vista but i have small issues on the laptop. heres what i did:
(this particular method only works for vista business/ultimate users..there are other ways though w/ regedit)
> Type secpol.msc in Vista's Start Menu Search Bar and hit Enter. This will open the Local Security Policy editor. Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options. Now on Right hand side, look for Interactive Logon: Do not display last username. Right click on it and open its Properties. Set it to Enabled > Apply. dont close everything out yet though.
> right underneath that setting is Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. Right click on it and open its Properties. Set it to Disabled > Apply
The 2 problems only on the laptop are:
1) ctrl +alt + delete will only work 1 time before the welcome screen
2) on the vista welcome screen...it shows me the box that says Please swipe your finger to login(upek) AND it gives the name "Other user", which isnt an user account that ive made. (phantom account) If i click on "Other User"..it then gives me the empty boxes to enter user name and password. where is this "Other User" coming from?? ive even tried logging in with "Other User" w/o a password and of course it says failed to logon.
I think the upek fingerprint software(v5.8, etc) or tpm v3.0.2.2 software is causing this issue because they are the only difference between my laptop and my desktop. my desktop works perfect just w/ doing whats above. (Ex. says ctrl + alt + delete to log on every time and also 2 blank fields w/ user name and password.)
I just received a new HP EliteBook 840 G1 and i'm trying to use the biometric finger print device. I'm on win8 x64, Ive installed the drivers:
Validity FingerPrint Sensor Driver 4.5.133.0
Installed HP simplepass 6.0.100.276
But the i can't enable the windows logon, it keeps telling me my password is wrong (which is not true)...And the biometric reader is not recognized in the control panel...
Attaching some screenshots .....
Have a HP Laptop with windows 7 and I cannot logon. When I try to logon using my password, I continuously get message, "The user profile service failed the logon. The user cannot be loaded."
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a new W510 but I cannot get the fingerprint reader working for Windows logon. I have the Lenovo fingerprint software installed. It can enroll my fingerprint with ease, which also shows that the reader works. I have turned on the option "use fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into windows". When I restart Windows, I see a fingerprint logon option, but it still defaults to CTRL+ALT+DELETE. When I pick the fingerprint option and scan my fingerprint, the lght blinks twice and nothing happens. I know from my old W510 that I should be seeing a Lenovo Fingerprint icon on the logon screen, but I just cannot get that to display. What have I missed?
The virtual agent was no support - it gives me a setting that doesn't exist, tells me to reboot, tells me that the first time I log in I will need both fingerprint and password, but afterwards it only needs fingerprint.
My client has an elitebook 8440p and has been using the fingerprint logon for so long he has forgotten his bios password. There is no setup of security questions or usb spare key available.
We can get into the bios via fingerprint but cannot remove the bios password or regain this password. From what I understand, even though he can log in with his finger and access the bios with his finger, he cannot remove or change his typed password.
From other posts I saw that HP emailed a file to remove the bios security to the user in similar cases. I am looking for who he should contact, via email, phone, etc, to get his bios security removed. Again, he can access using his fingerprint only at this point and wants to remove all security at this point.
I've owned my M1330 for a few months now, and have been very happy with it. But today, all of the sudden, things changed. I understand that a fan speeds up when a laptop gets hot, but this is not the case here.
All of the sudden today, this started happening: The fan is always on (around 3000rpm). However, the temperatures are usually low (CPU:38-50 , GPU:47-49). The laptop doesn't even get hot.
I've already cleaned the dust out of the the fans/vents, just in case.
My bios is the one that came with the laptop: A09
I've had the E6400 for about a week. It's been perfect until today. Three times now, the computer has just shut down as I was using it, not falling asleep, obviously. It won't start right back up; I have to wait about 30 seconds and then it boots back up to normal. The fan is working and I set the power settings myself.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a dell inspiron 1545. In the last month a trojan virus was discovered (unknown if this has anything to do with anything). I thought the fan was making a lot of sounds so over the weekend I sprayed it with canned air, which stopped the noise. Yesterday it started just shutting down. It does not re-start without you physically pushing the button. This can happen at any time.
I used Dell's PC Doc Came up with the following errors:

I tried doing a diagnostic with an F12 at startup, and it does the same shut down deal during that as well. So it does not complete.
I've been playing some games fine, e.g. pro evo 2009, in fact I played a whole season with no problems.
Today when I turned on my comp and tried to play it got stuck, and then when i restart it's all really really slow (unplayable)
My other games have got all slow as well
Is there anyway to see if the graphics card is working properly?
all of a sudden my touch pad stopped working?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy alienware computer could handle any game no problem a week ago or so but now every game i play is extremely choppy and the frame rate is around 10 on most games. Is there any reason for this or anything i can do to fix it? I've tryed restoring my computer to its factory state and i have updated everything in windows update. I have also got rid of unwanted start programs in msconfig and I have also used task manager to clear any processes that i do not need running. It also seems that my computer usage is around 80% or more when playing a game now and maybe it gets to 100% and then lags?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been playing Battlefield 3 for some time on Auto settings (most of them are Ultra) and my FPS were always in the range 65-85. Yesterday morning everything was fine, however at night when I opened the game again I had 10-15 FPS. I haven't changed anything in my laptop settings so I don't know why this is happening.
P.S: I only have 1 GPU (not the SLI version) so I know it's not a loss of power. But my battery settings are set to "Optimized battery health". Does it affect performance ?
I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 3520 the wifi was working fine, and then it all of a sudden stopped. I already went and bought a new router, and tried using my Ethernet cable. The new router hasn't changed it but i can connect to my LAN network with the Ethernet cable. I am not satisfied with the LAN network because I bought a laptop so i could use it all of the house. I will not purchase anything else because i already bought an 85 dollar Belkin router.

I bought an Ideapad Z570 a while ago and everything ran as it should. But the last couple of months (probably the last 5 months) my laptop has been running extremely hot. When I say hot, I mean it often reaches temperatures of 95 degrees, sometimes exceeding that to 98 degrees. What could possibly be the cause of this?
I've cleaned out the processor heatsink and applied brand new thermal paste to the processor and heatsink, yet it still runs extremely hot. I've also cleaned out the blower fan and ports to ensure no dust is stuck in there.
I am doing intensive work in Visual Studio, but the project I'm working on is not really that big. I've been working on another project (which is desktop and not web-based) and my computer *seems* to be ok, but still reaching 85 degrees easily on a build. It's frustrating as I don't know how long this system will run before crashing completely because its being pushed to the limits. Z570, Core i7 ...
My Lenovo 3000 V100, was working perfectly till about 3 hrs ago when I switched off the system, the battery is also fine and charges properly.
Now it just doesn't power up, both AC and DC.
I have a HP HDX 16 1160-US and a while back, my screen went all of a sudden dark but if I put my face very close to the screen, I could see the desktop icons and start button. I looked around on the internet for possible reasons that this happened. One of the solutions was to change the lcd inverter, therefore I changed it. Once i turned the laptop on with the new lcd inverter, the laptop displayed everything alright, but after I turned it off and on, the screen went dark again. I searched some more on the internet and found another solutuon and that was to change the backlight. To me it made sense to change it because thats where the whole lighting comes from, so I changed that too, but unfortunately that didn't work either. I didn't know what else I should do after this point so I called HP to see if I can give it to them to repair it but they don't have parts anymore for my laptop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had this laptop 3 weeks, and this morning the keyboard suddenly stopped working properly. All was fine last night, but this morning, when I tried to log in, I found that I couldn't type my password. Most keys have stopped working, while others just come up with random symbols or punctuation marks (e.g. the Fn key now displays a /). I can press any key to get from the intro screen with the clock and date. The touchpad is working as it should. Attaching an external keyboard also works.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEven as I write this, my Macbook is chugging (or slowing down) for some reason, and this has been happening lately where it almost never happened like a month ago.
To be more specific, when I enter text it's like there's a kink in a hose; no letters will appear and then a stream of all the letters I've been typing will pour out onto the screen. Prior to this happening I'll get the swirling whirling rainbow ball that I guess means the system is "thinking" or whatever. This is happening with all programs and when I switch tabs in Firefox.
Anyone also dealing with this?
I haven't really added much to my Mac recently that might cause something like this to happen. It's like it's getting brain freeze or something.
I'm also gonna throw this out there too - maybe Facebook chat has something to do with this? 'Cuz I'm on it right now and it's in full chug mode.
Anyway, any help/insight into this annoying new development would be much appreciated.
'Cuz the ol' Macbook was running perfectly not too long ago, and I miss those days.
I have a Pavilion dm4-2165dx with Windows 7 64 bit. I have not made any changes to the laptop or the network. All of a sudden today I could not connect to my home wireless connection eventhough all of the other machines in my house can still connect without a problem.
My wireless connection light is on and it is blue. I can still connect to the internet through wired ethernet into my router.
I tried a windows roll back and that didn't work either. The wireless drivers that are listed in device manager are:
