@deji2009, I was able to recover some memory using the methods you said I should use. I didn't delete hibernation files because I hibernate 95% of the time. Thank you. God bless you.

kanny1: I have a challenge wit my hp 6735s laptop on windows 7. Last month i connected an mtn fastlink modem to update my avira antivirus. D update was supposed 2 b arund 40mb bt d download kept goin up to abt 50mb so i abruptly stopped it. Used it d nxt day n it suddenly hung. Tried 2 start bt hang at 'startin windows'. Launch safe mode bt 'll hang at classpnp.sys. Tried evrytin bt still d same. I used a restore cd only 2 discover it's a linux cd after installing it. Access 2 my bios set up requests 4 password wich i cant remember. I gav d system to an engr to fix n told him to remove d linux without affectin d files i saved on d hard disk bt he says he cant c any file. Dat d linux has wiped everytin off. okay i nw asked him to reformat n let me ve d system then he told me dat d system crashes anytime he wants 2 format it. Dat d board overheats because of fan prob thereby preventin him. This neva happened b4. I dont want to loose d files i saved on d hard disk. Pls advice me
this is another DUMB n DUMBER story..when you tried updating and you system hung at classpnp.sys..why dint you just contact an expert immediately before trying to use a restore cd.now let me educate u all(the DIYs)
possible cause: while your antivirus was integrating the update files into system,it encountered an error which may be "bad sector,network failure(from d modem)so it cldn't continue or tried to revert the changes made(roll back) or hardware failure(atimes,your modem may lose connection to the laptop via the usb port or not well positioned)thereby causing a "bluescreen" or force a "restart" or just simply a "virus attack"(im aware of that some malwares when they become resident in your system for so long,tend to make antivirus "unstable".
2..attempting safemode was a correct step but the moment you encountered an error,the next thing to do was to consult an expert
what i wld have done wld be: repair the OS or regenerate the hard disk(if caused by bad sector) .remove the hard drive to scan and backup my documents onto another computer before i start any recovery procedure.
3..every intelligent expert knows that most recovery cds(hiren,yamisoft,kaspersky rescue disc) are prepared in linux environment(because it wld override all windows settings and "mount" the drive so as to "inherit all windows rights"..yet,there was still no need for the rescue cd yet..you simply didnt understand the difference between RESTORE CD and RESCUE CD.
restore cd is a set of discs or commands prepared only for a particular system only to be used to return the system back to factory state..
rescue cd is a Linux system rescue disk available as a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions.
already,you have a restore button on ur laptop on restart F11..bad thing is,if u start this procedure only for a sec,it wld wipe all ur data back to factory state wen not properly followed.i guess that was responsible for ur engr saying he dint see any files or as a result of the rescue cd..
now ,to the DUMBER
wat kinda engineer cannot format a hard drive the cite reason as "Dat d board overheats because of fan prob thereby preventin him"?isnt that just too ridiculous?he just cant simply remove the harddrive and put into an external to diagnose from another system?
pls tell him to do that then apprise us of his finding then we can continue to be of assistance

toksade: Thank you very much for your response. It's very useful. I follow the process but I could not find anything like system progressive protection. But what happened was immediately I contacted the virus I seek for all possible solution. Then I asked online and I got a key code for that virus which I used and I was able to remove the virus that the system progressive protection claimed it saw on my system. I was asked to run a prog registryfix.reg, which I did. But other thing the site asked me to do was not successful, like I should download RKILL to scan my system with and other things like that which I was not able to do because they weren't downloading. Although, when I put the key code, the system was release and I can do what the virus as deprived me of from the time I contacted it. But the issue now is that after a while I began to see this messages: ''Science_1.2: lihirycosxam.exe'' - Bad Image. Then ''I/O Erro 1816'' will follow with many of it on the screen. And any time this come up, everything wil stop working on the system. Please if u know what I can do about this kindly tell me. Thanks.
pele..you just got hit by an ADWARE as a malware..(Adware, or advertising-supported software, is any software package which automatically renders advertisements in order to generate revenue for its author.

just pray it doesnt "hijack" ur system.
try enter safe mode then do a system restore back to the earlier days before u started experiencing any of these problem ..then try uninstall the software wit the "magical code" u downloaded
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sameolg616(m): 2:17pm On Nov 22, 2012
Hackomania: @toksade, I believe you should read the link previously posted, that will help. Use AA39754E-715219CE as the key if asked for it. Or I can recommend downloading a file called hijackthis.exe and scanning your system with it and posting the log to this forum so we could jointly analyse.

P.S. I would love to be more active on this thread, but time constraints are much.
pls ow can u advise a simple user to use "hijackthis"..can he decode the codes...NO!..it's totally unprofessional...he may just delete something really important..its either you schedule an appointment wit him,teamviewer him or simply refer him to a pro..
pls lets not contribute more to their problems as they dont give incisive analysis of their probs.

Is it Hp dv6-400ct or similar ?

We need these numbers.its very unique to each product.

While holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys, press the S key on the keyboard.
The Compaq Support Information window appears.
This window contains the model number of your HP computer.
For example 6330US.Also check the back of the battery

When you have this go search for it on hp website and download the drivers you need.


or


If your computer has the HP Support Assistant, you can find the model
number at the bottom of the main screen.
Tnks bro.

emove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.

Click the Start button , click the arrow next to the Shut Down button , and then click Restart.
Do one of the following:

If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts.
You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the
Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highligh
the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys
to highlight the safe mode option you want, and then press Enter.
For more information about options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode)

Open word pa or notepad then test the keys. what happened ? if it works in safe mode could be a software
conflict causing it in normal windows. if does not work could try system resote next when you contact us
hope you have not tempared with the bios just of recent Hardware visualization when do you start having this
problem. do you have more than one antivirus software installed

Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.

f you have a monitor it has a VGA or HDMI cable, there should be a socket on the
side or rear of the laptop to enable the
cable to be connected. Most laptops have them,
even 10 year old ones! What you may need to do
is switch between
the LCD on the laptop and the external one,
this is most likely the Fn button and one of the
F keys on the top, many are F5, some are
F2 some are F8 so look for a monitor picture on the keys

This would display on the monitor and tell us whether
the laptop screen is ok or not. Give us the result

Step 1
Turn on or reboot your Compaq computer.

Step 2
Press F10repeatedly while the computer boots up within the
short window of time allocated to enter BIOS. In Compaq computers built before 2006,
you will need to press F1 instead.

Step 3
Navigate the BIOS menu using your keyboard.
Your mouse will not function within BIOS.

L@@k for diagnostics hard drive test
run the test making sure your laptop
is pluuged to the mains electricity for the tes
to complete. running it on battery would interrupt it.

Should either pass or failed or with a code
