error message

17 years ago

I am constantly getting the message "seek attribute change from 100 to 200 and 200 to 100." It is breaking into whatever I am doing and driving me crazy! What does it mean and how do I get rid of it? I have a Gateway Pentium 4, with a 200g hard drive. I will appreciate all help. Thanks!

Is this at any time using any program or does it just happen when you are working with a specific program? What sort of thing are you doing when the error message appears? How do you currently get past it? Does it create a BSOD?

How old is the hard drive ?

Thats a Smart drive monitor thingie that may indicate you need to upgrade the motherboard driver files, or upgrade bios, or replace bios battery, or you could be fixing to have hard drive failure.

Or its just fragged so bad its having difficulties. Defrag lately ?

Or a simple drive error check and repair may fix it, or that may also destroy it instantly. I had that happen once many moon ago. Once I ran error checking it continued blocking sectors until I ran out of space.

Sorry - Sounds like your hard drive is having difficulties for some reason.

Hey Roc, I'm still using Miele Tabs--figured "if it aint broke, why fix it...?" I cut mine in half using Wusthoff kitchen shears--they slice through the tabs (and their wrappers) like the proverbial butter. LOL I cut a handful or so at once, and store the cut halves in a small deli container. If I'm running a particularly full/dirty load, I'll sometimes use two halves, or use one "large" half and add some of the powder that has collected at the bottom of the container to the dispenser. The last time I ordered the tabs, I got a great online deal on them, so got 2 or 3 pkgs. They last a long time since I cut the tabs in half and run the DW 4-5 days/wk on avg.

'Cell Power Error' Message - Aqua Logic AQL-P-4
Q
Comments (18)
Got the dreaded "No Power Cell 2" message (yes, it says "2" as well, vice NO Power Cell". Had Pinch a Penny check my under warranty T-CELL-15 - said it passed. Looked at several forums and found this one. Checked my fuses, appear ok - not broken/blown. Wish that was the case however. Notice Amazon sells a PCB board for 350 or so. Before ordering and doing this myself, I noticed a link for navyvet about the circular "fuse" for lack on a better term, specifically the Digi key pn# 570-1062-ND. Will need to take my board off to see if I can find burn marks, then try my hand at soldering (or call a friend). Anyone successful with the soldering, then have issues later on? Don't want to spend money on a new Circuit Board if I can prevent it, but don't really want to repeat the soldering work constantly. Any feedback is appreciated. I'm a newbie at the forum, so if the question has been asked, shoot me the link. Also, anyone else have issues going to www.nopowercell.com? sees down for me. Thank you for your time in advance fellow forum members and DIY repair techs.

Help with missing dll files error messages
Q

ClientCore.exe seems to be part of HP SimplePass (a fingerprint reader). Does that sound right? If so does it work? Do you use it? Did you remove Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable while in Programs? Those two DLL files seem to be provided by it so reinstalling Visual C++ would likely give you the DLLs back.

Thanks for the input. It happened 2 or 3 times this evening while the computer was standing idle. My computer is only 2 years old and I did defrag a couple days ago. The HD is 90% free space. I also am having a problem printing a database sheet. Get the message "out of memory" and it couldn't be that. I did try to update the driver on the printer, but didn't know which driver to choose. Maybe I chose the wrong one? My system is Win XP home edition.

You could easily be 'out of memory', especially if you have been doing any memory intensive work. I have 1 gig of memory but if I get carried away with photo editing I can run low.

How much memory do you have? You can find out by clicking Start/Control panel/System and look in the lower right corner of the new window.

Is your anti virus up to date? Which spyware programs do you have installed and have you updated and ran any of them recently?
