Common troubleshooting methods for Windows XP operating systems

In addition to the appearance and security performance on the interface, Windows XP is considerate and convenient for users in many small places. For example, it stores the current status to the hard disk, and then does not need to be initialized by the hardware, Directly Reading data from the storage status, generally can start up in about 15 seconds, the startup speed is greatly improved. However, due to the compatibility of hardware and software, some exceptions may occur when you use this function of XP. The following analyzes and provides a reference solution:

I. The onboard sound card is incorrectly pronounced.

Currently, many boards are equipped with the AC97 sound card. If the board-mounted sound card on your machine is a soft sound card, it may be suspended to the hard disk for the second time during fast boot, abnormal Sound found. I have seen a soft sound card attached to an elite SIS735 motherboard-not only does it sound abnormal after Windows XP is quickly started, but after Windows 98 exits to the pure DOS Status, when the EXIT command is used to return to the windows graphical interface, the sound card is not pronounced at all.

Reference solution: as this is a hardware problem, there is little chance of manual adjustment. You can try to change the latest driver. If not, you have to buy an external sound card or restart the computer honestly. It is worth noting that in XP, the sound card still has a sound that is very hoarse. It sounds like the speaker is not a sound card problem, actually, this sound card must be reinitialized by hardware before it can be used again. This is the real reason why I wrote this exception, so that everyone may not waste time on the speaker, or even "adjust" the speaker.

2. Abnormal display (landscape or black screen)

Some machines may experience blurred or black screens after they are quickly started or awakened from SLEEP. There are three possible reasons:

1. Imperfect driver of the display card: This is the lightest fault. Find a stable driver version for installation;

2. Impact of power supply on the display card: some poor-quality power supply may lead to insufficient power supply for the AGP display card, and XP will no longer initialize hardware when it is restarted quickly, depending on the ACPI function of the motherboard, the power supply may be affected.

Reference solution: first, adjust the BIOS and windows power options, and try not to use fancy features; second, you can create a text file shortcut and put it on the desktop, add a custom shortcut key. When you press the shortcut key to start the text on a black or floral screen, the text content may be displayed in some areas of the screen, and you can click and switch the screen several times, because the display card refreshes the content in the display memory, it may return to normal display. This is a bit of an out-of-the-box approach, but it is very practical.

3. The mouse cannot be moved after the Quick Start

This kind of failure is not a dead machine, and the keyboard still responds. In fact, after waking up in Windows 9x, it also appeared. There may be two situations:

1. Your mouse is incompatible with the motherboard or power supply.

2. Your mouse is fake, so when Windows XP uses the corresponding built-in driver, there is a problem with identification, resulting in some bugs.

Reference solution: first try to unplug the mouse, then plug in, use the plug-and-play windows again to detect the mouse, but this may damage the motherboard interface for a long time; replace the mouse of other brands, it is best to use a genuine mouse, or switch the mouse connection from the PS/2 interface to the serial port. Some PS/2 interfaces are not suitable for XP's new features. By the way, don't underestimate the mouse fake card, think it can be used-when installing Windows XP and Windows, it is often caused by fake mouse installation failure.

Iv. Activation Problems

Windows XP adds activation settings to prevent piracy. Some people install the version to be activated in the last 30 days. If the battery on your motherboard loses power, the boot date is abnormal. After the "welcome" command on the Quick boot, windows XP may prompt that you must activate it before using it. Because some people are greedy for convenience, they may use the function of suspending to the hard disk without saving or transferring some important documents. When prompted for activation, because the activation function locks the system, you can no longer enter the graphic interface to process unfinished documents and lose the work results. Although this is not a real fault of quick start, it is not very common. We should remind you that if you do not want to activate the product, so pay attention to your date-because fast boot is also a restart after all, Windows XP will detect it.
