Blue Screen of Death for those that are having problems?

A Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSOD or bluescreen) is an error screen displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage. Bluescreens can be caused by poorly written device drivers, faulty memory, a corrupt Registry, or incompatible DLLs. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; OS/2 and MS-DOS suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.





The term "Blue Screen of Death" originated during OS/2 pre-release development activities at Lattice Inc, the makers of an early Windows and OS/2 C compiler. During porting of Lattice's other tools, developers encountered the stop screen when NULL pointers were dereferenced either in application code or when unexpectedly passed into system API calls. During reviews of progress and feedback to IBM Austin, the developers described the stop screen as the Blue Screen of Death to denote the screen and the finality of the experience.

Blue Screen of Death for those that are having problems?
What's the question?





If you are having a BSOD problem, here are a couple of fixes:





Blue Screen of Death


The Blue Screen of Death (sometimes called "bluescreen", "stop error" or just abbreviated as "BSOD") is the popular name for the screen displayed by Microsoft's Windows operating system when it cannot recover from, or is in danger of being unable to recover from, a system error (the Microsoft term is Stop error). There are two Windows error screens that are both referred to as the blue screen of death, with one (Windows NT 4/2000/XP/Vista) being significantly more serious than the other (Windows 9x). There are several causes of the blue screen popping up. It can be a poorly-written device driver, bad memory, damaged registry or usage of incompatible versions of DLLs (see more on the "Types of blue screens" section).





The blue screen of death in one form or another has been present in all Windows operating systems since Windows version 3.1. It is the successor of the less well-known black screen of death that occurs in OS/2 as well as MS-DOS[1]. In early builds of Windows Vista it was complemented with a red screen of death, used for boot loader errors.

Abbreviated BSOD, an error that can appear on computers running in a Windows environment. This includes even the earliest versions of Windows, such as Windows 3.0 and 3.1, and still occurs in later versions such as Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000. Jokingly called the blue screen of death because when the error occurs, the screen turns blue, and the computer almost always freezes and requires rebooting.

If i will design something like winsock control ?

We all know Winsock control in visual basic or in C ,It is the matter is I use it and i know well how to use it ,but i just cant seem to understand how they developed it ,Is winsock uses certain API functions to send and receive packets ?

If i will design something like winsock control ?
Take a look at Beej's guide to network programming. It explains all the functions for sockets. Basically the Winsock ActiveX control just wraps these things.
Reply:the winsock control is only a wrapper of winsock API


I have trouble with MSN spaces?

I tried to record the people's IP address when they hit my blog so that I'd know where they are from.But it didn't work well in recent days.I couldn't record their IP address any more...I have no idea what I should do so I'm able to record their IP address again.Could you help me?Maybe I need to link http://ip-adress.com in that HTML code?


Another question is 'when hitting "Install" botton,I couldn't install ActiveX "MSN Photo Upload Tool" in my firefox2 and IE7.'What's goin on with my web browsers?


The HTML code below is what I used to use in the MSN spaces:


%26lt;img alt="IP Address Lookup" src="http://api.hostip.info/flag.php" border=0%26gt;


%26lt;img src="http://ippryer.selfip.com/ip?from=t... %26amp;h=430%26amp;t=20%26amp;c=7%26amp;s=8%26amp;f=My IP address"%26gt;

I have trouble with MSN spaces?
all these will take some more time to become user friendly


How can a help my beta?

My beta was dying b/c my sister took him and didn't take care of him. So I put him in my own little rehab. He in a gallon vase with a beta bomboo. I put API salt in his bowl to heal him. Is there anything else I can do to help him. He turned really ugly and brown so I want to make him more colorful.

How can a help my beta?
You can buy a medicated flake food for tropical fish at wal mart. It's not very expensive but it helps replace vital nutrients and such. It also helps heal the digestive system and basically heal your fish from the inside out. After you get him better you can get some food formulated for bringing out their colors. Untill you know you have his health where it should be stay away from live foods. Sometimes they can cause more damage than you solve.
Reply:Get him a proper tank with a heater. Nobody likes to live in a vase.
Reply:There is color-enhancing flakes available for Bettas, and bloodworms do pretty well too. I'd worry more about him getting better than being a pretty color, though.
Reply:Get him a 5 gallon heated, cycled and filtered tank. Get him live/silk plants too and feed him live food once in a while. He'll love you for that. :D
Reply:Use the chlorine remover and just wait.





Dont mess around with it too much.





And Betas are always looking like that, put a mirror near him on the outside and see what happens, its awsome.
Reply:A heater can help ward off diseases and help mend fins.


As well as medicating with Melafix.





Being in a 1 gallon tank without a filter, the salt will just effect him and not actually help him.

I think there's 2 likely possibilites here:


1) A virus infection that has slipped past your protection, and


2) A corruption of a windows file


First, please check your Event Viewer (this assumes you're using XP). Go to Start...Run...and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter. In the left hand pane will be 3 categories (Application, Security, and System). Please click on each one in turn while viewing the messages in the right hand pane. You may need to right click on any Error message and select "Properties" to view the exact error message. Please let us know what error messages that you've found.


In order to check the file corruption issue you can do the following steps:


1) Run SFC.EXE /SCANNOW from the Run prompt. This will scan your system for any changed windows protected files and will prompt you for your CD to replace them. Please visit Windows Update immediately afterwards to ensure that one of your updates hasn't been changed.


2) If that doesn't correct it, then I'd try a repair install of XP. This will preserve your programs and settings, while replacing all of the files that windows needs to operate. Here's a link for the instructions: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepa... . Please visit Windows Update immediately afterwards to reapply the updates that were changed by the repair install.





Do rate me if it helped ya..
Reply:Scan your system with antivirus and spywares. If that doesn't work try Combofix.

Reply:First update and scan your computer with your security products such as antivirus and antispyware applications. If your computer comes up clean after running your resident security products, you may want to consider running a System File Checker (SFC). This can be run in Safe Mode should you prefer. To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:





- Start


- Run


- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")





What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the case, then you know that you definitely have major file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.





If you have the Vista operating system, the steps are a bit different due to the UAC. See the link below.


http://vistasupport.mvps.org/system_file...





Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.





One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.





NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756
Reply:if you can successfully reboot in safe-mode (hit f8 during startup and select the 'startup in safemode with cd-rom' option) and replace that file it mentioned (advapi32.dl) with the original version from the install disk, that could solve the problem.





otherwise you will probably have to resintall windows.

Svchost is quite important ,have a look at it?
that's amazing , you answered my question before I asked it. Are you a psychic.
Reply:Welcome to XP. :)
Reply:That's nice. Did you have a question?
Reply:I dont fully understand your question. If you are wondering what svchost is, its a Windows Service that handles Automatic updates, Sound card, Wireless Internet, and other esstenial Windows Services. Do not stop or end this process.





In other cases, svchost can be mimicked and be a virus (probably not in this case). Make sure you have a virus scan, as some people try to make their file svchost.exe so that it looks like a windows service.
