Component Video knowledge

SonicWall VPN connected to company LAN...

But I can ping to my company PC from my home PC.

Connect PC to Sony WEGA(SU-RG12L) HDTV

I use 6FT HD15 to RCA Component Video cable to connect PC to Sony WEGA HDTV, but this way does not work.

So I am thinking buy a HDMI card for the PC and buy a HDMI to HDMI cable to connect these two devices.

如何修复Windows XP的系统文件

http://www.arthack.org/xiufu-xp.html

windows 正在关机,死机

快要修好的Thinkpad z61t 不能自动关机.怎么办?!google一下了...

发现这篇文章:

电脑关机,到"WINDOWS正在关机"时就死机怎么办?


在“控制面版”→“电源选项”→在“电源使用方案”中选择“一直开着”。问题解决~!(常见解决方法)
以下是解说
首先谈谈Windows系统自动关机的条件。在Win98及更高版本的系统中都支持自动关机,即不通过电源的物理开关实现关机。自动关机是通过****作系统支持的ACPI(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface,高级系统配置和电源管理)技术来实现的(当然ACPI的功能不仅仅是自动关机)。ACPI是由英特尔、微软和东芝等多家公司共同开发的,可以在BIOS之上通过****作系统进行电源管理。该技术要求主板控制芯片和其他I/O芯片与****作系统建立标准联系通道,使****作系统可以通过瞬间软电源开关(MSPS:Momentary Soft Power Switch)进行电源管理。因此,只有在硬件(控制芯片)、电源(ATX电源)及****作系统(Win98以上版本)都支持ACPI技术的前提下,自动关机才能实现。因此,为了保证自动关机的实现,在BIOS设置中,必须把“ACPI fnuction”设置为“Enabled”;同时必须启用APM(高级电源管理)功能。

自动关机是一个比较复杂的过程,它是由系统进程Csrss和Winlogon配合并调用关机函数ShutdownSystem来完成的,这个函数进一步调用SetSystemPowerState关闭驱动程序和其他的当前执行程序子系统(如即插即用管理器、电源管理器、执行程序、IO管理器、配置管理器、内存管理器等)。此外,执行自动关机时,系统还要检查当前系统中各种外部设备的状态以及尚未关闭的应用程序的状态,处理各个数据缓冲器中的数据等。如果在上述工作中发生错误就不能正常关机。因此一般说来在关机之前应该使各种外设停止工作,关闭所有的应用程序后再行关机。

在Windows系统中的确常常出现自动关机失败的情况,下面谈谈具体的原因和处理办法。

1.系统文件中自动关机程序有缺陷。为了确认是否是这个原因所致,可以作下述实验。在“开始/运行”中输入命令:“rundll32 user.exe,exitwindows”,看看能否正常关机。如果在这个命令下可以正常关机,表示自动关机程序可能有某种缺陷,如果使用的是Win98系统,请在“开始/程序/附件/系统工具/系统信息/工具/系统文件检查器”检查系统文件的完整性和修补文件。如果采用其他系统(Me/2000/XP),也可在相应的项目中完成文件修补。如果修补文件仍然不能解决问题,只能重新安装系统。而运行“rundll32 user.exe,exitwindows”也不能正常关机,则可能是****作系统中某些系统程序有缺陷,但是处理办法仍然是修补系统或者重新安装系统。

2.病毒和某些有缺陷的应用程序或者系统任务有可能造成关机失败。首先查杀病毒,在关机之前关闭所有的应用程序。由于有些应用程序是系统启动时加载的,因此可在“启动”菜单(在“开始/运行”中输入命令:“msconfig”)中逐个减去加载的程序,以便看看有无影响关机的文件(当然要重新启动之后才能生效)。

3.外设和驱动程序兼容性不好,不能响应快速关机。可在“开始/运行”中输入命令:“msconfig”,在“常规”标签页中选择“高级”,在打开的窗口中选择“禁用快速关机”。如果怀疑外设有故障,也可以逐个卸载外设进行检查,以便找到有影响的外设。

4.如果设置了在关闭Windows时使用声音文件,当该文件被破坏时也可以造成关机失败。请在“控制面板/声音/事件”中选择“退出Windows”项,把声音名称设置为“无”。这样处理之后如果能够正常关机,则表示的确是该原因所致,可重新安装声音文件供使用。

5.在Win98自动关闭时将显示“现在可以安全地关闭计算机了”,这个内容是由Windows目录下的“logos.sys”文件完成的,如果这个文件损坏则不能出现上述提示,而以文本形式提示:“you can now safely turn off you computer”,这也可能造成自动关机失败,恢复该文件即可。

6.安装WinXP后不能自动关机,如果排除了上述各种原因后,有可能是其控制面板中的电源选项设置不正确,请检查你的设置,保证ACPI和APM能够正常工作。也有的主板系统BIOS中的APM(高级电源管理)和Win XP之间不完全兼容(以AMI BIOS为多),因此不能自动关机。选择关机却变成重新启动系统,在这种情况下只能手动关机了(按下电源开关保持4秒钟后放开,如果少于4秒钟则无效)。解决问题的根本办法是升级主板的系统BIOS,采用新的版本。

Windows XP Setup Could Not Detect and Find Any SATA Hard Disk Drive on AHCI Mode

My friend has Lenovo ThinkPad z61t laptop and it is corrupted.
I try to install XP SP2, but I could not proceed.Installation does not recognize the SATA disk.

So I checked the article from mydigitallife.com

here is the link

My resolution: Changing BIOS setting to disable AHCI.

It works!

and I have to download Thinkpad z61t drivers......!@#$%^

http://www.wlkj.net/thread-45415-1-1.html

When installing Windows XP on SATA hard disk drive, you may encounter problem where you unable to install Windows XP on the SATA drive as the Windows XP setup installation interface does not detect and recognize any of the hard disks mounted on S-ATA (Serial ATA) ports, and thus XP installer cannot find usable physical disks on the computer system and unable to continue to install XP, forcing you to quit by pressing F3.

On newer computer and workstation system, such as Dell Precision model, if the SATA HDD is not running on RAID, there is no additional driver needed even for older operating system such as XP to recognize the drive. On SATA based disk that requires a driver, normally the system OEMs or motherboard manufacturers will provide a floppy disk with needed SATA driver, which you can then use F6 button during initial setup stage to add in third-party RAID or SCSI drivers. On newer computer such as those from Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, and etc, you probably find that only diagnostics or drivers CD is provided. The worse problem is that you simply cannot extract the SATA drivers from the CD as the driver that wanted to be installed during XP setup must be accompanied by a file named oemsetup.txt, beside the usual driver files and .INF file, else the SATA driver cannot be installed by XP setup to detect HDD.

Here’s a possible solution if you’re in this kind of SATA hard drives not found situation. The trick is related to ACHI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) hardware mechanism which are designed to allow software to communicate with Serial ATA (SATA) devices such as host bus adapters with features not offered by Parallel ATA (PATA) controllers such as higher speeds, hot-plugging and native command queuing (NCQ). Windows XP (and any OS older than Vista or linux kernel 2.6.19) does not have came pre-packaged with driver to support AHCI/SATA mode, thus creating a very common error that Wikipedia also described as “when attempting to install Microsoft Windows XP or a previous version on an AHCI-enabled system will cause the setup to fail with the error message ’set up could not detect hard disk drive…’”.

The ultimate solution is by using OEM Windows XP CD which comes with your system, which usually has built-in appropriate driver for S-ATA harddisks running in AHCI mode. However, if you lose or do not have the OEM XP CD, or is given Vista DVD but decide to downgrade to XP, there are 2 options to install XP from scratch.

Users can install Windows XP or Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2) on an AHCI enabled system by changing BIOS setting to disable AHCI (or RAID which includes AHCI in its functions) and use native SATA IDE emulation mode (SATA/PATA). In SATA IDE Emulation mode, XP setup could find the SATA drives and proceed to continue to install XP properly. How to change the BIOS settings on SATA mode is depending on which brand or model or even motherboard of your computer system. Check your system manual for more information. For example, in Dell Precision workstation, press F2 to go into BIOS, and then go to “SATA Management” to select AHCI or SATA mode. If you don’t find any option in BIOS to change AHCI support for SATA ports, most probably the drives already runs in IDE (ATA) emulation mode and therefore doesn’t require the AHCI driver. It’s because AHCI support is depending on the chipset (commonly by Intel) and the HDD. In this case, you have to figure out what’s other causes that may stop your SATA disks from functioning.

A slightly more difficult but recommended method is to create a slipstreamed XP install disc with the Intel Matrix Storage Manager which is also the AHCI SATA Controller driver included. A slipstreamed XP setup CD with AHCI SATA controller driver allows the XP OS to support hard disk on AHCI and use its advanced features such as NCQ for faster access, read and write speed. While slipstreaming, users can also have the advantage to include all updates for Windows XP for up-to-date patched OS, without the need to download and install hotfixes later.
