GV800 RESTART LOOP (solved)

[nalexia 0]

Hi Guys

 

I have a problem with a GV800 installation where it shut down due to some error and now refuses to start all i get is a message saying it is trying to recover from a previous error (over and over again).

 

I have tried uninstalling the software and directories and even restored the software to a earlier time and then reinstalling the version 8.00 software but i am still getting the error.

 

Any ideas were i am going wrong

 

Cheers

fdisk, you can manually go through the windows directory and remote the stuff manually but it's usually not worth it.

If you already deleted the Geo folder, and its still causing an issue, only thing you can try right now is goto the Windows folder and delete Geo*.ini. Use command prompt and

 

CD C:\Windows

DEL geo*.ini

 

NOTE you loose your settings doing this.

There are other Geo related INI files such as PTZ settings etc, that arent labled as Geo*.ini, if you can make out which ones these are, delete them also, if not try this without. Be careful as WIN.ini and a few other Windows related INI files are also located there. All the Geo*.ini files though are safe to remove.

 

make sure Geo is uninstalled and the folder is deleted also.

Optionally use the RemoveGeo file in this thread, but you still have to delete those INIs manually:

After it is removed, and the INI files are gone, use a registry checker such as CCLeaner, using its Issues feature. Also use its Cleanup feature. Run the Issues check at least 3 times.

 

Run a Check Disk for Windows, and Defrag.

 

Remove the Geo Drivers, shut down and remove the card. Place it back in and make certain it is sitting in the PCI/PCIe slot correctly. Power back up, run the DriverInstall program, then reinstall Geo.

If you still have problems let us know.

Hi

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinserting the card as you suggested but i am still getting the problem with the loop the sytem say "Find an error on last initializing trying to recover system from this error initial system DB"".

 

Seeing i have deleted all the files and directories and the ini files i cant see where the error is being prompted from.

 

Any ideas Guys
