    Thank you! I tried what you mentioned, nothing has worked... I plugged a usb keyboard and it works, so I'm starting to believe it could be a motherboard problem. I finally got windows xp pro installed, no conflicts in Device Manager, all the drivers are installed and now running smooth. I removed the keyboard, and re-set, all connections look good, but still not good. the synaptics keyboard works fine and both rt & lft click the buttons. I pulled the ram to inspect it, it's the right speed, ddr2700, and after running for an hour, it was cold to the touch! I'll try to get a new keyboard and replace it, their pretty good work, if still not good it becomes pieces on ebay... lol tx again... Marty

  • Vista Home Prem (64-bit) - black screen with cursor in the top left

    Hello

    When I turn on the laptop, all I get is a black screen after screen of the bios at startup. Never done anywhere. He won't let me go in safe mode, it will not go to any login screen. I tried Startup Repair with Vista disc, and he says that it's been fixed, but still does not start. I've done it many times. I tried to let the part installation that moves the windows to the windows.old and creates a new copy of windows, and this did not fix it. I tried hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL in the black screen and this causing the laptop to reboot.

    If anyone has any ideas, maybe something, I may have missed. I tried almost everything people have posted here. I wouldn't completely re - install if I have to.

  • How can I add a screensaver for Vista Home Prem 64 bit

    I tried to add screensavers on my Vista Home Prem 64 bit OEM OS home built office & they will not install on the menu screen saver. They are installed in the system, but they will not show for use in the screen saver settings. I also have another problem... when I download some programs they not add a shortcut on the desktop or the program from the button start all programs list. I have to go to my C drive & find them in programs / programs x 86 and then create a shortcut. Someone at - it a fix for these problems?

    See if the screen saver is installed in the folder System32, and not the SYSWOW64 folder?

    "Third party screensavers in Vista 64 tend to settle in the wrong directory. The .scr file needs to go to SYSWOW64 instead of System32... where you will find this as they are probably. Simply transfer them in 64-bit file and they should be displayed."

    http://www.Vistax64.com/general-discussion/100968-screensaver.html

    When you install everything that comes with a Setup.exe, right-click on the .exe and select the "Run as Administrator" option.  See if that gets your sorted shortcuts.  Same thing with screensavers if they come as a Setup.exe.

  • I removed a secondary hard drive but now Vista will not boot. I tried startup repair, but failed. What alternatives are there?

    It is a desktop computer that I built myself, so I have no tech support. Until I removed the hard drive, I formatted to remove all data. Since then, Vista does not start. I used my installation disc to repair Vista, but that has failed. I tried the system restore, which was a success, but Vista still does not start. What else can I do to solve this problem.

    Hello itisallgeektome,

    Open Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management, and then in the next window, click on disk management. When the disk management window opens look down the list of partitions and see if you have a "system reserved" partition This is where the system files are stored.

    If you have installed the drive 'after' that you installed vista, then I accept the boot files would not be on the second drive, but it seems strange that the windows repair option will not correct the bootloader. However, by doing an inplace upgrade this will re - install windows vista (but it will not, or should not affect your files/programs (However it might be useful to back up all the important files that you cannot just in case beed)). As a complete reinstallation is completed, it will create a new bootloader in the process.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
