sameolg616:
for those suggesting ram and hard disk space for hibernation probs, thats never tru, its simply a simultaneous reference to a particular location on hard disk and in memory, so its expected to slow down, eg, its like trying to rejoin a bus on high speed rather from the bus-stop

ZIM DRILL:
yes it helps but still we need to findout how much free space you have on your hard disc

I agree with you both and most importantly sameolg616 advice about a
simultaneous reference to a particular location on the hard drive.

worth to check the RAM size like ZIM DRILL has advised. for example a customer had 500GB
and 1GB RAM and paging size allocated from the RAM to the hard drive is 320MB then this problem
would occur. That's my explanations about the hibernate issue (hiberfil.sys)

@deji009, I'm using ms office 2007. Also when i tried 2 insert d flash, my system will not recognise it. It won't display any message. I don't have a printer of my own so i wanted to print it in a business center. Pls help me out cos i' have 2 submit d documents latest saturday evening. Thank u very much

Dear olacoa,

Please answer Yes or no to the followings as this helps us to narrow down the problem.

Microsoft 2007 opened the document ?

You can make changes to the document ?

Microsoft 2007 can close and open back again ?

Basically the usb inserted is not been recognised and as such
you're not able to save the document.

Method 1:

Attach the document to an email message and print it at the business centre
by checking your email inbox. if you don't have a 2nd email account set up another.

Swap test computer with another usb device or the other way round. any difference ?

Have you tried all usb ports on the computer

Is this a laptop or a desktop ie Windows XP or Vista

To double check the usb device click start, run and type in

devmgmt.msc press enter click + universal serial bus controller

Any yellow signs ? or !. Good luck

have you tried system restore especially if the problem was not there before choose a date before the problem kicked in

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for the above and would like to rule if this a software or a hardware issues. connect charger turn on
laptop and keep pressing F10 for Bios. A blue screen would appear. Does it shutdown on the Bis blue screen ?

Any help oo, my laptop still continue not to respond to any keys even after pressing f8 or f11. Always showing blinking dash after reading d 1st post for like 5secs. I even want to format every but couldnt respond at all. Or have i lost d hard drive? pls i need help. It is LG R400 window vista service pack 2

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for the above. Like my colleague sameolg616 has advised ring him up for the hard drive diags
before formatting. The blinks cursor means the laptop is looking for a device to boot from.
check to make sure nothing is plug to the usb port ie printer etc. could be a hard drive. Good luck

I need help here. I cant connect my phone directly with my laptop with the aid of bluetooth. Anytime i switch on my bluetooth device on laptop to search for a phone, it will connect and this helps me to trasfer file from laptop to a phone but my phone will never send files to the laptop. check the s.s. It says bluetooth peripheral device not installed.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above. what's the make and model of your computer ? Are you in use of a bluetooth usb dongle or
already built into the laptop. what make and model is your phone. is the machine XP or Vista. Good luck

My hp compaq CQ-61 laptop fell from a stool in my room & the screen display was affected. the display on the screen is now divided into 2 parts. the display on the left part is repeated on the right.
Please nairalander, help una guy oh!

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above enquiry and would like to clarify the followings.

Is laptop under or ran out of manufacturer warranty ?

Here's your prescriptions in narrowing down the cause.

As computer is the process of elimination is important we
know if a cable was loose or screen need replacing.

This best practice and would urge you to find a monitor and
connect your laptop to it. Was it the same display or any difference ?

Laptop differs and such you may need to press fn+ f ? something to
switch the display to a monitor. Please find picture to aid you.

If still the same, visit a laptop repairer further advice. Good luck

Dear Sir/Madam,

As a good practice and here at nairaland technical support we verify basics regardless
of user knowledge of computer. ie a doctor check to verify what the patient has said and
commence treatment same as a computer. Now down to the nitty gritty.

Here is the prescriptions

Test sound with headphone, does it work ? Yes/no

Click start, run and type in dxdiag and press enter

At the top click sound and to your right click Test Directsound

Any sound when you click Directsound. note all the result and feed back.

To make technicians job lots easier always better to follow instructions.

Once again click start run and type in devmgmt.msc click + next to sound
video controller. any yellow sings such as ! ?. Good luck

The problem is I cant even get to the bios no matter whether I press F2 or Delete keys. *ughh*

here's what I get after oning the system:

1st screen:

Toshiba Logo, then five logos under, this stays for 1 second then,

2nd black screen:

Intel (R) Boot Agent GE V1.2.31
copyright (c) 1997-2005, Intel corporation.

Initialising and establishing link, (this stays for about 15 seconds, then, )

3rd screen:

Intel (R) Boot Agent GE V1.2.31
copyright (c) 1997-2005, Intel corporation.

PXE E61: blah blah blah
PXE M0F: blah blah blah
( stays for abut 1 second)

4th screen:

safe mode black screen

I keep getting the above cycle even if I press f2 or delete key.

*ugsh, *

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for your recent enquiry and would urge you to follw ZIM DRILL prescriptions
in narrowing down the cause. The term PXE Exiting boot agent means the computer trying
to boot from a network card. boot means reading or looking for a device to load your
operating system ie xp, vista or windows 7. The diagnostics ZIMDRILL prescribe is the solution.

Seems you're doing something wrong. for simplicity. post exactly what's on the screen without adding to it.

Good luck

you should not be messing around with power packs except you know what you are doing,
take it to a certified tech. thanks
your operating system is probably corrupted by a virus or something of the sort
you will need to restore the entire operating system
just back up all important files and start windows from recovery partition thanks,

Thanks you for your recent enquiry and would adhere to my colleague Kingsleyinfo

@zim not system restore. i want to set my system to the factory setting (system Recovery), i have the system Recovery CD but when i try to run it, a message that says '' Error 100a if this issue continues, please contact HP support.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for your recent enquiry and would like to prescribe the followings in narrowing down the cause.
Here are simple things to check for. Re-run the recovery using the CD/DVD you had.

As computer is the process of elimination we always start from basic and walk up.

Was the cd/dvd self made using recovery creation wizard or was it purchased from HP.
In other words was the cd/dvd created by the software on your computer ?

Check to make sure no dirt/scratch on the CD/DVD. no device attached during the recovery ie usb stick
Here is the moment. What make and model
is your computer ? most HP have in built recovery tool hence no need for CD/DVD. to check this
restart laptop and keep pressing F11 until you see windows is loading files> recovery manager.
if no windows is loading files then no inbuilt recovery partition built in. HD recovery partition was
integrated into the system as a contingency like the problem you currently face with.

Furthermore, Restart laptop keep pressing F10 for bios setup utility until you
see a blue screen. use your arrow key to navigate to diagnostics and hard drive test
after that do a memory test. This test carry out a details analysis of your hard drive and memory

Good luck

click start once in safe mode, all programmes, accessories, system tools
and system restore select a date before the problem began and follow
on screen instructions. if no joy restart F11 welcome to recovery manager
once there click advance then backup using a usb stick or connect external
cd/dvd drive to insert a cd to start backing your data after restarting
laptop f11 then next then system recovery. if you're not able to backup your data
visit a computer technician.last resort is to reinstall windows to square one using f11

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above enquiry. Would all appreciate to state what the problem is rather than
assuming the problem. in other words[b] no sound[/b] instead of driver. This helps us to avoid
misdiagnosing and get reply from my fellow colleagues. Here's your diagnostics in narrowing

Any red cross on top of your speaker no device driver installed. Toshiba have built in drivers in
start, my computer C Drive, Toshiba folder, drivers and sound and follow on screen instructions.
what's your operating system type ? ie Windows XP. please find a link to toshiba drivers
