stopping the wizard thing

[Alison556]

After the phone was plugged in and did not load i think


i think i cancel it other wise the other button starts it again.
usually i just cancel before it starts


toshiba a100

The new hard drive has no info, so i am reading up what to do with it

Right, OK, I've been reading - again. I think that the drivers for the old phone haven't loaded and your computer is looking for a mobile device but can't find it because it's only partial install.

When the Hardware Wizard comes up, just follow it through for it to install the drivers for the phone. Once it's installed, you can uninstall it, but I think it's only got a partial install and that's why it's causing so many problems.

The reason I asked about how you ended it, is apparently (dunno if it works or not) but if you let it run, fail and then click finish at the end, it shouldn't come up again.

The two things on the startup menu I was talking about are looking to start up from your D drive, which will be your DVD drive - and since you probably don't have a disc in your D drive all the time, it just seemed like sense to take them off.

I'm now gonna sit here with everything crossed in the hope that doing a reinstall of the phone software works.

hi alison
got to go out soon but have a little time
I have had so many phones etc am not sure what one it was , i do not have all of them or the discs
so the plan was to remove all and reload lust the ones i have once its sorted

I did previously let the wizard run through, but quessed that without the right disc in it nothing would happen


the phone i thought most likely that it may have been
i have already tried again, this dont start the wizard, it does strange things with the network!

the funny starship type icon with no title, that is what the pop up thing saying pci device is attached too.

I did read i should try to download the toshiba drivers for the motherboard
See dis info post on page 2

I support your consideration, have you got you ext HD functioning?

 

[Alison556]

You might well have to use the restore disc - I don't know much about them as it's a desktop I have and I've got all the discs for everything - windows, drivers, etc. There's no restore disc with a desktop.

But from what I can make out, the spv m700 is probably the problem. It seems that it starts to use itself as a modem which I guess would bypass your router - that's why your network connections went all wonky.

It definitely sounds like you've got missing drivers or conflicts and that's why your sounds probably went off.

Apparently, there are no specific drivers for the spv m700 - it runs on Active Sync - which makes me wonder if you uninstall the Active Sync, if that would resolve the issue.

It's really hard without seeing it.

Go into the CCleaner and into Tools and Uninstall and do some screenshots of that and post them up - so we can get a look at what you've got there.

Try uninstalling Active Sync.

You may be right there just looked at the spv disc , it has on it active sync 4.2 +
microsoft outlook?? +
and connectivity software

The original activsink was put on from my old phone
I deleted that version last week

There is no Activesink on the computer now

Go into the CCleaner and into Tools and Uninstall and do some screenshots of that and post them up - so we can get a look at what you've got there.

Ok then

Alison is trying her best, bless her

Maybe the time has come though, if only for all our sanity.
I plug the hardrive in ,the back up wizard screen asks for a location,
This seems to be c: and cannot change it
In my computer screen C: is the local disc
Whereas E: is the removable disc
So I stopped there
If you can advise what next I would be gratefull


The main problem is I am no expert on this type of thing , but prepared to try if someone is prepared to help.
I know I can take the easy option with pc world , but that way I will never learn.
And i have learnt, thanks to all.

I too have helped many on the electrical forum, and realise how frustrating it must be to help someone like me,with limited subject knowledge, so I appreciate all your help and In this post there has been lots.

I wouldn't go through a back up wizard for your new hard drive - just copy or move the files/folders that you want over to the new hard drive (drive E) - that's all I did anyway. For example, if all your pictures, docs, etc are stored in My Documents, then go into my documents, highlight the folders/files you want to transfer and then go to Edit, then either Copy to or Move to Folder and then you select drive E from the pop up box.

To be honest, I don't have much faith in PC World - if you're gonna bite the bullet and put it in somewhere, try and find a small local computer place - they'll be cheaper I'm sure. We have a guy here that's really good - builds computers and fixes them as well as sells a lot of stuff for them - somebody like this would be good.

But we can have one last go if you post up screen shots from the Uninstall section of CCleaner. I hate being beaten by anything!!!!!

Did you mention electrical............................. hmmm I could be picking your brains soon!!

That started automatic I can do it other way with help

sky have said i do not need extra drivers , so the vista is calling.
i would rather try and sort this first though rather than transfer it to the vista, as it may be harder to locate it there

But we can have one last go if you post up screen shots from the Uninstall section of CCleaner. I hate being beaten by anything!!!!!

There is so much there it will take me all night though
I have changed to photobucket now, is there a quick way.
I am putting in paint then uploading one at a time , can i use more than one though

These three at the top look suspect to me

Did you mention electrical............................. hmmm I could be picking your brains soon!!

Sure you will get help there , i will look out for your posts
It has been a bit fierry there lately

[333rocky333]

some programs have been deleted since the previous programme list


I have missed out the following as there was too much
windows stuff
toshiba stuff
hotfix windows stuff
microsoft stuff
security update stuff

Did you note what i said about the icon in the start menu on page 6[/b]

 

[333rocky333]

I have watched this close and just realised the pop up actually moves

By hiding things on the taskbar i have pinpointed to the logo
it starts as one and appears to then change and go
I am trying to get it to show all the time but unsuccesful
It seems to start straight after the clock then the wireless stuff starts the icon goes to the left then disapears after the wizard is cancelled

It is the icon far left from the clock and the same icon is highlighted in the menu and not titled
It looks to me like the device manager symbol though
anyone know if i should get rid of it
please

It seems to have gone from the current items now since doing the c clean again , but is still showing on start as well as the wizard thing.

 

[333rocky333]

would the events log in the management console give any clues if i logged the restart time

 

[Doc Lenny]

I think the icon that is coming up is related to your hardware wizard. It appears when it detects the new hardware to be installed.

If you clear the event logs and then reboot, you will be able to see what is being flagged up.

Is the device manager showing any problems?

 

[333rocky333]

hi doc

in the beginning we found pci device
we uninstalled and tried to find the drivers ,best we knew how.
none of this worked
So we left it disabled and it still is

I did not clear the event log but
This item seems to stop and start a lot whatever that is
I will clear the log and post asap

This idea I got from your reply to another post, thanks

my options I feel
1 learn to do ext back up and use the recovery disc
[think best way]

2 learn to do ext back up and install vista upgrade disc
[feel that the problem may still occur on the vista, if it would sort it then ideal]

3 do option one and do vista at a later date
[think best to sort problem first, before creating more]

4 give up and get someone else to do it
[do not like to give in, but may have to ]
Thanks again
