  How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

  Hello Bob Zientak,.

  If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

  Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.

• Cause updates Windows vista freeze on configuration after reboot

  Hi, I have problems with the Windows Vista updates that are causing my computer to freeze the configuration step once the computer has been restarted. He gets updates 3-0% 1 configuration but does not progress. I have then turn off and start in safe mode to restore the system. The updates are: KB2559049, KB2536276, KB2556532, KB2563894, KB2567680, KB905866, KB2563227, KB2570791, KB915597.

  I tried install one at a time and only managed to install updates, but those above seem to prevent the computer from freezing as described.

  I had an infection maleware a couple of months (the one who pretended to be the windows Security Center and tries to make you buy software). I removed it with Malewarebites. I did at least a success many updates as a result - and then, these problems started when I treid to do this series of updates. I read in other issues of the forum that the maleware could be the cause of my problems to update and that maybe I need to format and reinstall windows. Is this correct?

  Thank you in anticipation

  Thank you very much for your help. I tried to use the patch program in suggestion (1). This did not help. In the end, I have solved the problem by starting the computer in safe mode. This allowed then updates the installation (the case as on normal start up the computer froze as he tried to set up the updates). Then I have to restart the computer normally without any problems. I have no idea why it worked! Thanks again.

• Windows Vista freezing no matter what I do, even when starting.

  For the last few weeks, my computer was freezing.  Everything stops. I have to unplug my computer to restart. I've updated the Windows HP programs, all drivers, nothing works. I tried method 2 (below) but the System File Checker come clean. I'm hesitant to try Method 1 not only because it's so complicated, but there is a warning that it could make the computer unusable. I never know when it will freeze. Some days it doesn't, other days like today it freezes on & all day. If I use method 1 to determine which service or startup item is causing the problem, should I use my computer in this mode until it either hangs or does not work? I don't know what I'm supposed to find out what Service or startup item is originally from the gel (if that is what is really causing the problem yet!)  I'm so frustrated! Any advice?

  I tried to use some of the tips from other questions such as:

  Method 1
  Step 1: Start in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
  Note: Select Safe mode with networking from the advanced boot options.

  Step 2: Put the computer to boot and check what third-party application is causing the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: Reset the computer to start as usual according to step 7 of the above mentioned link.

  Method 2:

  Thanks for the return of the response.  Are you a blue screen of death after you get the error above?  I have included a link below similar to the error you posted above.  Please see the newsletter and let us know the status.

  If you want to restore your computer manufacturers settings, you will not have a disc.  I guess you bought your HP computer and it was already installed with Windows.  However, you must back up all data you have, or it will be lost.

• Windows Vista freezing after installing Service Pack 2

  Yesterday, I downloaded the Windows Vista Service Pack 2.  Now, 10 minutes after turning on my computer, my internet browser and all other open windows will be freezes and I have to manually turn off the computer.   I was forced to repeat this cycle about 10 times already.  I tried the system restore, but it was a mistake not identified, so that the system could not be restored successfully.  I also tried to uninstall the Service Pack, but that no longer works.  Help, please.

• Windows Vista freezing, problems starting mode safe mode, Windows Update does not work, etc.

  Hi all. I am operating Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit on an HP Pavilion dv6000.

  My problems started about two months ago, when I installed several updates through Windows Update. I started having problems with my USB ports (even if these pilots were not being updated) and the computer was never able to close successfully. I tried to uninstall these updates, but that did not fix the questions I had. I have also installed software (AutoCAD 2007) at the same time and uninstalled, nothing helps.

  Then my computer started to freeze after running for a few minutes. Time seems to vary from 5 minutes of good use for 1 hour, but I found that it works only because this so long, I only open a program or file and use it all the time (for example, reading a book in Adobe Acrobat format). If I try to open the program or additional files, go to control panel, etc. (read: if I do everything related to Windows Explorer) the computer crashes. I can still move my cursor but none of the windows meet, and I can't ctrl + alt + delete to enter the Task Manager (I get a black screen).

  I was manually shut down my computer every time that happens and boot in SafeMode several times. Sometimes when I try to start safe mode it is hampering the crcdisk file and turns off. It happens not every time, however. Sometimes, when it starts it running the disk check, and there has been some index files that it has been deleted and orphaned files that it has been moved.

  I tried to do a system restore to a point before the updates I've installed in October, but my computer has no points system, restore even if he says it was their creation before you install these updates.

  The last problem is that when I go to Windows Update, it says that I have never checked for or downloaded the updates in the 15 months that I've had the computer - is not true, I, he lost at the time of all the record of it. So although I would like to provide you with wonderful with a record of what I've updated and people uninstalled, I can't because all this information is gone. In addition, I can't connect to the internet to try to check the news updates, because our internet service runs a USB modem, which is not communicating properly with my computer.

  I hope someone has an idea of what's going on. I just can't understand the common point that all these questions arise, my technology skills are somewhat limited, so I hope for a relatively easy solution.

  Sarah

  BTW, all my files were backed up on external drives.

  I don't know Jack about computers, but I don't know that I went through almost exactly the same thing.  My pc was ok, then in a month or two, it took a nose dive.  something I did was too that much could not think of everything.  A friend told me to reset my bios to default settings and see what happens.  After having spent only 7 hours trying to teach myself on bios, I got stabbed in this area and it worked.  Everything is great runnng.  Now I can even right click on icons without crashing.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then

• Vista freezes at startup, with the logo of "Microsoft Corporation".

  Hi all

  For some reason any when I turn on my computer Vista is stuck at the 'Microsoft Corporation' logo screen, with the little green loading bar and it will not move beyond this point. I must then hold down the off button to turn it off and then use the repair system (or is it restart?... one that will automatically appear anyway...) I have to use the system restore too) etc. to make it work. The problem is that this happens about half the time I turn the computer, so is a slow process that I had to endure.
  Someone at - it ideas? I hope this means does ' t that I format the hard drive and reinstall Vista, that is not something I know how to do...
  Other points to note are that it seems to be related to Antivirus programs... I had Norton, and sometimes when the above problem happened, once connected, Norton would say that my computer has remained and a whole bunch of things were turned off... I could not turn them back on. I gave Norton a while ago, and it seemed to fix it for a while. However occasionally I have AVG and a similar problem occurs now (although very rarely... normally, the computer hangs just at startup as shown above). I also noticed that Startups will take much longer now, and sometimes if the computer is past the screen of Microsoft Corporation, it will be just a black screen for about 20 seconds and sometimes comes up with a message referring to the registry keys (I don't remember the exact message). He eventually starts however.
  I also found the similar question: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/af488955-1080-4329-a5a0-774916c7341e

• Windows Vista hangs at startup

  I had a problem with Windows Vista in the past months where it hangs on a blue screen or crashes at startup. Usually, I need to restart the computer several times before I'm finally able to get on the desktop and then it works fine after that. I went as far as when you run a restore complete system twice, but the problem persists. Thinking that maybe that's a hardware problem, I ran a diagnostic equipment on the memory, video card, hard drive, motherboard and all other hardware components but the diagnostic equipment can find nothing wrong.

  Here is my system configuration:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  Hewlet Packard AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHx
  Hard drive 500 GB
  3 GB RAM
  Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE card

  Any help is appreciated.

  In administrative tools, choose the reliability and performance monitor and
  Click on MonitoringTools then the reliability monitor (type of reliability in research
  at startup). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, Windows
  updates and crashes by date. See if your plant started to occur after
  you installed or uninstalled something.
   
  In the control panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (problem of type in)
  The START searchbox), go to the history of the problem, your mistake right click and choose
  Check the Solution.
   
  Also get details of your crash blue screen of problem reports and
  Solutions and post it here.
   
  The two causes of blue screens are defective drivers or hardware failure.
   
  Try these steps to remove defects of hardware that Windows can detect (I
  not sure what you did before).
   
  Type of memory in the start search box, and select Memory Diagnostic and then restart.
  Normal and advanced race. This will take a few minutes.
   
  In computer discs right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab.
  then click on check now. Check that the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will
  take from one day to the next.
   
  After running chkdsk (what does the foregoing) checks file
  corruption by clicking on Start - Programs - Accessories - right click
  Command prompt and choose Run as administrator. Type
   
  sfc/scannow
