After installing the Windows SP3 does not open.

I have a laptop Sony Vio running Windows XP Home Edition. Last week I tried to update from SP2 to SP3. After about 2 hours, it was at the point of file cleanup. After a time to shout a message came uo 'Please Wait'. I waited all night, and the message was always there in the morning. I restarted the computer and now Windows wilol is not open. He turns the splash screen and then the screen turns blank ever opening in the icon screen. When I try to start safe mode it runs a number of lines if information and where he had reached the end of one line info nothing happens. I tried to boot in a security 3 with the same resunts mode. Tried running in the final Condition to work with the same results - Windows startup screen runs then screen turns white and screen icon never opens. I have makes the system, Application and Driver Recovery CD. That SP3 could have done to create this condition? No idea how to fix ths situation without losing me any files - images Woed docs etc.? Any help would be greatly appreicated.

At this point, your main goal should be to backup all your files from user data that you can from your [no bootable] machine.  I find that a good way to do it is to this is to use another machine to create free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu (if you use Ubuntu, do not install but use instead "Try Me").  You do this by downloading an .iso file and then use the "burn image" of your program of CD burning to create the bootable CD/DVD.  You can now start your laptop from this CD and Linux will allow that access you your hard disk without disturbing anything on this subject.  You can then copy off and back up your data on a USB stick or a network drive files.

Once your files are safely backed up, you can then reinstall Windows using the recovery disks you have.

Ubuntu: <> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download >

Recovery CD Windows are also a possibility but more effort involved to create the CD.  Such a disc is "BartPE".

  • charge battery after installing the new battery does not exist

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate Spk1 32 bit on my laptop (big mistake)
    I recently installed a new battery & put it through the cycles of preparation 3 times following the instructions.
    The next time he went down to the alarm of low level newly together and I added the power adapter, nothing happened, the battery wouldn't charge.
    After many attempts to do nothing improved load, especially my temper.
    They advised me to install another battery which I just did, and this SECOND new battery just sits there & will not charge either.
    When he arrived he had 10% fresh rate showing so I removed the AC adapter and let him draw 8%, but when I replaced the adapter he had served on 8% & does not load.
    What is going on? How a simple thing like recharging simply disappears. ?
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    See you soon

    The charging circuit inside the laptop and recharges the battery while the laptop is plugged into the mains. If the load circuit does not have the laptop is running on a charged battery or the power cable, but won't charge the battery.  The fact that the machine failed to load two new and old battery suggests the charging circuit has failed.

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.

  • Windows store does not open (windows 8)

    So I've recently refreshed my laptop running Windows 8.1 and after refresh, he returned to windows 8. But now all gone metro apps and windows store does not open. When I click it, nothing happens.

    I tried various fixes, nothing worked! Help, please! My main concern is to upgrade to windows 10!  Right now I'm stuck with windows 8

    IM using the HP envy m6 laptop.

    Hi Alain,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    When you do a Refresh: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    Because you want to upgrade to Windows 10, first, you need to update to Windows 8.1 of Windows 8 and then you can switch to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

    Please refer to: Update Windows 8.1 of Windows 8

    Once you have updated Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows, please see the following article in order to upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

    Upgrade to Windows 10 for free

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Windows Explorer does not open

    Windows Explorer does not open when I go into My Documents it tell me that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  When I go to the report and do not understand but the basics are "error 0xc0000005" and "hpswp_bho.dll" also I can't open the control panel either.  I just installed a new HP Photosmart printer all-in-one wireless.
    Help, please
    Concerning
    Joan Buchanan

    Hi Joan57,

    Hpswp_bho.dll is a ColaBrowser.dll belonging to HP Smart Web Printing to Hewlett-Packard.

    You will need to uninstall it check if it works and if it works contact HP for more information.

    I hope this helps!

  • Windows Mail does not open. It gives me a message saying, ' Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE. " DLL could not be loaded. »

    My Windows Mail does not open.  It gives me a message saying, ' Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE. " DLL could not be loaded. "How can I fix in order to regain access to my e-mail address?

    The only other thing I can suggest is to back up and then delete the following registry keys:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail

    I start with the first and then see if it works.  If this isn't the case, then delete them both.
