'Your CASTLexc has stopped working.' is one comment that pops up occasionally on my laptop. What could this mean?[/quote]What's the laptop make and model number ? e.g., Compaq cq60. It is common on Compaq laptops.

Type Programs and features in start search and press enter .


That will open the programs and features window.


find HP support assistant from the list and uninstall it .


Then re install HP support assistant from their website
Or put Hp support assistant on google and install it.


Also use the start seach to look for hp update and install it

If only you're using Hp or compaq only

Activityj: Please what i am seeing in my gmail account is terrible! I don't know if my account have been hack? See what my gmail account is saying "this account is currently being used in 1 other location at this ip (37.228.1o6.107) or (141.0.9.195)" please nairalanders help me protect my account! Warmest regards.
Citation: Google Support

If your account has been compromised/hacked/stolen you will need to check and fix at least all of the following settings.

Excellent point and easy to test -- shut off all devices that use that router then turn one back on and see what gmail says.

But the first thing you need to do is check the bottom of the Inbox and make sure your account is not open at any other locations. If it shows additional locations, open the Details window and "Sign out all other sessions".

Account Security:
Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Google Account Settings -> Change Password [pick a new secure password]
Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Google Account Settings -> Change Password Recovery Options [verify secret question, SMS and recovery e-mail address]

Potential Spam:
Settings -> General -> Signature [make sure nothing as been added]
Settings -> General -> Vacation Responder [make sure it's disabled and empty]

E-mail Theft
Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Send Mail As [make sure it is using your correct e-mail address]
Settings -> Filters [no filters that forward or delete e-mail]
Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> Forwarding [disabled or correct address]
Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> POP Download [disabled]
Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> IMAP Access [disabled]

Askedi: Hello, please I need your help my hp laptop's is blind but if its switched on it boots normally as if everything is working properly but the screen just remains blank. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Pls answer these in order


HP model number pls? e.g., HP DV6000

flashing white cursor on the black screen ?

Any peripherals attached ?

Is it Nvidia video graphics

can it boot to safe mode by pressing f8,
does this behavior happen when going to safe mode


we could run system restore in safe mode by turning the
clock to a time when it works ok


Has this been happening for a long time now ?

Enter the bios by f10 and run diagnostics Hard drive test,
if you have enough battery or if it is AC powered run the
memory test as well.so we know that they all ok.

Has it ever had a graphic re-flow before ?

the beep stop.which one is it ? there are 2 type of beeps

1. the basic input and outout system/power on selftest

2. keyboard stuck

Make sure you check each kb keys and make sure no is stuck/press down


What's the laptop model number e.g., toshiba p300-20h

not every bios are the same but we use similar approach

the classic one is a memory ram failure or keyboard key stuck

can you pls enter the bios pressing f2. does it enter the bios setup utility

if it does enter the bios thats good. press f9 or something like that to load setup dfault
and see if it'd work

can the cd dvd drive eject pls check it ? fan running ? keyboard keys not pressed down or stuck

if you can press f8 on start and see if you can get repair ur comp... windows is loading files recov...

Okwizzy: Pls I ve got a Toshiba Laptop dat has bn locked wit a bios password only known to my dad, nd now he's late, how do I unlock d password nd use d system again,,,, pls help
wolebaba: If you are techie enough; open it up, locate the CMOS battery and remove it for 5mins and return it back. That should clear the BIOS password.

If you not techie enough, take it to your nearest computer Eng.
wolebab advice should fix the problem.
I doubts if you haveremoved the cmos battery
because you didnt mention it in your post.
if you have no problem. 2nd option is to use
a software to unlock it by using google

best bet to take it to a laptop repairer

Some toshiba laptop dont unlock unless you
call toshiba customer support

This happens because windows
Installed some updates.This
Update is used to detect any
Fake software.buy a copy of
your O/S Vista or Win 7 and
installed it. make sure is
compatible with your laptop
by checking the Manufacturer
website.Aviod buying from road side
seller they are bad one's. if you want
something just invest in one and forgot it.

here at nairaland [b]there's a rule [/b]not to provide
windwows keys. I follow that code of conduct at all time
because in my country we follow rules and regulation in everything we do.

I cannot dictate what people choose to do pls dont get me wrong.
I want to be part of people that eradicate software piracy from our system
it start from here. pls understand ths and beside you're vulnerable to trojans.

now days in nigeria people want money so they design the OS and sell to people
and the code extract some inform..from your computer and send it to them.
Thats the country for you. so pls buy one

The error message Not a valid Win32 application usually means
the download somehow became corrupted during the download.
This caused it to download as a file type that is unrecognizable
to your computer.Most smaller anti-virus programs will classify
this file as a Type_Win32 virus, because they don't recognize
the corrupted file. This is not the case.

Please try the following:

1. Delete the corrupted file> right click the prog...icon and select delete
go back to uninstall programme in control panel and uninstall it should be alright

2. Reset the browser you are using to download e.g. explorer, chrome,firefox look for settins

My OGA just want you to carry out the test to be sure what exactly the problem is. Your above comment confirms that there is no boot media on your computer.
@Farouk senior:

Pls make sure you go back to bios and load setup default

we made some changes and it's important to load default
before ading another hard drive

And [b]backup your data [/b]using a [b]usb hard drive enclosure [/b]and after that
reinstall windows. you need to connect the enclosure to another computer and would auto
detect your drive. read the instruction that came with the product or go to a copu tec shop
to get your data backup (if you have any)

if it cant no bother.
checkt to see
if the hard drive is detected
and check boot piority/order

if you can access the bios run the
diagnostic test, load setup default
In BIOS is smart turned on for the hard drive?
Turn it off.

probably a defective hard drive....
You need to save your data AND
replace the hard drive and reload the OS.....

wolebaba: Your HP: best bet is to restore the system state to an earlier time before the whole wahala started. I suspect one of the apps you installed is corrupt. Send me a mail at woleaheeb@gmail.com and I will give you the steps.

Your ACER: hope you have a backup as the hard disk is damaged. You will need to replace the HD.
for the acer go to the bios pressing f2 on start up
and make sure is not set to boot from the
nvidia graphics/network card make
sure your boot piority is set to hard drive
and that the hard drive is detected

In the BIOS navigate to "Integrated Peripherals
On-Chip LAN Boot Rom" and disable it.
F10 to save and exit then test

check the version of your bios and write
it down.check acer website for your laptop model to
see if there's any Bios update or a higher version

If no joy obtain a iso bootable cd and test the hard drive


[b]Last reesort
[/b]If no joy you can backup your data
consider replacing the HD as suggested
by my fellow colleague.

wolebaba: CAUSE: your village guy installed an unlicensed operating system on the laptop. You went online and your computer tries to download windows update, microsoft automatically do windows genuine test and your PC failed.

SOLUTION:
1. Buy new OS(original) just about 20k.(Best bet)
2. Continue using like dat. Issue is; U can't get the latest windows update.
3. There is this app that can help U out. Can't remember the name. Issues are you have to turn off automatic updates or don't use yo PC online. (Not recommended) I don't subscribe to software piracy.
Let's join hands together and offer
a profession advice to our people.
I'd like to see more of you.

"I don't subscribe to software piracy".

L@@k Your post was fantastic !


adewasco2k: 1.First of all, boot from Windows 7 installation DVD
2. When you boot on Windows 7 DVD, select Repair your computer
3.Select your OS, and click on LOAD DRIVES
4.A box should now appear. Click on Yes.
5.After that, navigate back to the local drive C: , and right click on it and click on Properties and the Advanced tab.
6.UNCHECK the Compress this Drive To Save Space option.

wait for it to uncompress your drive and voila you are done

No Qualms: Thank you Deji, I have switched all the updates I know off, when I checked the task manager, only Local Area Connection 3 was connected and the highest % was about 12%. I don't understand what it means though. But the data is still burning fast. I opened my yahoo mail and checked a mail, 2MB has gone when I checked.

I have a lot of installed programs, maybe I should even start uninstalling some of them. OMG, I just checked now, I can't type all of them.
