  EDIT: How can I show you guys the minidump files? I want to, but I don't know how. Where can I find em?

  After sixteen days, I found the solution to the problem.

  Run directly worked!
  Here's how I did it:

  #1
  I used image (game.gog) file that is copied into a simple directory GOG, I did without spaces (for example C:\dosgames/tr1)
  Then I renamed to. ISO and also copied the other files in the folder TOMBRAID (exe etc.) and mounted the entire folder on dosbox directly. (just drag and drop the folder for your shortcut dosbox and he will do it himself)

  #2 proceeded to mount the image file (I named it TR1. ISO) with the imgmount d 'x:\path\TR1.iso' t iso command
  #3 now that the image file is completely loaded on dosbox, everything you have to do is type the name of the .exe, for example, type "tomb.exe".
  #4 to play the game.

  Please mark this (my own answer) as an answer because I'm not myself! Thanks to all who helped me without worrying!

• Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

  Hello

  I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

  I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

  1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

  2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

  3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

  4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

  5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

  I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

  I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

  Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

  You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

• Black screen with white cursor at the end of the New Installation

  I try to perform a new installation of Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 1545. The hard drive was completely wiped out and I don't have the original disks (I use a Vista CD from another computer Dell). Installation is proceeding normally up to the phase of "Complete installation" where it crashes for almost an hour and then goes to a black screen with a white cursor.

  I have tried all the following suggestions (found here and on other sites online):

  Reset the BIOS has no effect.

  By pressing SHIFT 5 times has no effect.

  CTRL + Alt + Delete has no effect.

  Rename to the event log file has no effect.

  Remove one of the memory modules if the computer has only 2 GB installed has no effect.

  Running CHKDSK finds no error, and has no effect.

  The attempt to start safe mode causes hang crcdisk.sys.

  Try a normal boot hangs at the screen loading w / loading scroll bar "stuttering".

  Startup Repair runs for hours with no results (I said to cancel after you let it run overnight only to find it still 'work' in the morning)

  Does anyone have suggestions more?

  Thanks in advance! : D

• Windows Vista starts with only a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  Saturday, 02/27/10, I left my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405 E) because I used Studio to produce a couple of videos.  When I got up in the morning, he himself had closed.  I tried to put on normally, and he said: recovery error windows, then on lists: Launch Startup Repair tool and start windows normally.  I tried to do a repair, but it just comes back to the same screen.  When I try to boot normally, it shows the progress on the background as usual bar, but then he comes up to a black screen with a mouse pointer.  When I run one of the many diagnostic tests, it is said that the BIOS cannot find the operating system loader.  I'm pretty adept at computers, but nothing I've tried before reinstalling Vista works.  I have files that I need to keep it on the computer, and only a few of them are saved.  Please help me soon, as I need for my school musical production on Thursday.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

• Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

  I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

  Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!

• Unresponsive, black screen with mobile mouse, Odd blue lines during startup (Vista 32)

  First a little background seems to be in order.

  At first my problems seemed associated GPU. Play games would often result in freezes after explosive and muzzle flash effects. The entire computer freezes, pixel green and pink lined the edges of most objects. The only solution was to turn it off and restart it manually.

  The problem persisted in programs like the use of the internet for non flash based sites average.

  In Device Manager, I noticed a few red flags on my graphics card and problems with my drivers (I've updated my drivers recently, but after the initial problems) but I couldn't find a way to remedy the situation.
  

  Now start is messed up. The loading with green bars screen has shifted but evenly spaced blue lines on the entire screen. It takes a lot of time on this screen before the end. After that, it becomes a blank black screen with only my mouse visible and usable.

  All I can do is to move, clicking does nothing.

  Startup Repair seems to be corrupted on my computer from a previous problem, because it no longer works and a few start up via F8 options I tried show no effect.
  

  Safe mode shows no difference.
  

  I'm sure if the GPU is a part of the problem, but I have a nVidia 9800 GT.

  -Thanks in advance.

  By using the Vista recovery disc did fix my computer.

  After some trial and error, with execution of the various options for disk based, I finally got a restore point for work and now my computer is working again (I am actually posting about it right now!)

  I couldn't get startup repair to make no progress, nor could the repair options do much.

  But I was able to restore for some time in mid-August and I hope I can keep this race.

  I still have the blue lines when you start upward, but they appear not anywhere after that. I think that the root of my problem lies in my graphics card because my computer does not show that any evidence that I'm using a (cannot run games) and the device manager says that the device has been disabled due to a problem (code 43).

  But I'll leave a thread in the hardware forum where it belongs.

  Thank you all for your help, it is appreciated.

• Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

  Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

  (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

  (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

  (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

  Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you're up a new drunning.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
