After trying to downgrade to XP, press a key, the system gets stuck on black screen

Hi, I am currently using windows 7 when I try to setup windows xp he see press any key. After that Windows inspects your hardware configuration. After this black screen will come. How to solve this problem?

There are two obstacles with your question.

first of all, what you try to do, is "downgrade" your system - inadverdently.   This ability is not in the setup / installation protocols.  You can upgrade or replace the OS.

Second, if your current computer is running win7, then it is highly unlikely that xp will not have engineering and pilots to operate your advanced machine.  Remember xp is designed to run on "now" older machines.

to take, for example, that you want to uninstall win7 and replace it with xp.  Then, you will have to place of origin of the machine and download drivers xp for machine.  If none is available, xp is unable to operate the machine.

However, there is a scenario for xp under win7.  This will require you to virtualize xp by installing the virtual pc to microsoft program.  then installing xp in virtual pc.  and for the most part, you can install and run most xp programs in the environment to virtualize xp.

but remember that a pc virtualization has its limits.   one example relates to the graphics.

a virtualize xp has not the power graphic to run fantasy games and most accomplished will scanner virtualize xp for graphics capabilities and interrupt the installation.

also, you cannot install xp drivers for hardware in a virtualized xp in an attempt to circumvent or replace hardware drivers your machine win7.

HTH.

    Original title: Hello World!

    Hello

    Try the following steps:

    When the system file bootmgr is compressed, it can not be used. Windows is not able to boot without loading the non compressed version of this file. If you receive an error message that the BOOTMGR is compressed press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart, reset the boot sector of Windows since the installation of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

    To do this, follow these steps.

    a. load the operating system Microsoft Windows XP CD/DVD into the optical disk drive. Follow the on-screen instructions by pressing any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
    b. go to the XP Recovery Console and select command prompt.
    c. Type fixboot and press the o button to select.
    d. Type exit to exit the command prompt and restart the computer.

    After the system restarts, the error message should not appear, and the problem should be solved.

  • Satellite A100 system goes to a black screen after the recovery procedure

    I tried running the recovery CD, I received on my cell phone. the process perfectly, (I have only one CD, I don't know if I need a second). At the end of the process, I have the option to insert the second CD, or jump.
    Because I don't have that one CD I have support on ignore.

    I tells me that the installation is complete and I can restart my system.
    Then I removed the disk and I tried to reboot the system. The system goes to a black screen (on which he indicates that Microsoft load) and then crashes. That was the problem I was facing before recovery.

    Basically, the recovery process has not worked. I don't think I did something very wrong, unless I need a second CD. What could be the problem?

    Help me please!

    Hello

    The A100 is one of the new series of laptops and AFAIK the image of Toshiba was placed only on a CD (DVD) recovery.
    I think that the message and the possibility to insert the second CDconfuses a little.

    In my opinion the black screen and freeze has nothing to do with the recovery procedure and the new installation if Windows OS.
    Due to the fact that this problem has occurred until you have installed the OS from the recovery CD, I assume that there must be something wrong with the hardware.

    But it s very interesting to know if the same problem appears after the new installation of Windows from the original CD of Microsoft.

    It's worth a try.

  • 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!

    Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

    It's windows xp.

    If we knew more, you would probably now.

    What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

    The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  • iertutil.dll was not found after trying to download internet explorer 8. I can't get into my computer. Not even the start screen.

    I can't get into my computer.  All I can get is the Task Manager.  It shows all my still intact material, I'm not him.  Not even to my home screen.  All that appears is my screensaver and a message saying to re - install iertutil. DLL... but how to do when I can't.

    Maybe someday, we will see again the proposal to:

    Once you open the Task Manager try the commands below.

    1. in the Task Manager, click file, and then click new task

    2. now type rstrui.exe and click OK

    This would launch the system restore on the computer refer the below Microsoft article more about the restoration of the system.

    If you really try , you would find that it does not work because rstrui.exe is unlikely that never will be in the PATH statement.

    If you want to launch the restoration of the system from the Task Manager, you will need to perform a new task like this:

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    If c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll is missing, you will see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component

    The application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

    Because explorer.exe is not running, you will see only your background image /, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete will always bring up the Task Manager where you can maneuver around and replace the file.

    If the only problem with your system, it's that iertutil.dll is missing, you can replace the backup copy in the dllcache folder.  You can continue to obtain reviews iertutil.dll is absent, but just click OK for messages of recall as they pop up so you can continue working.

    One might think that you use the Task Manager, you can browse c:\windows\system32\dllcache and (after choosing to view all files) copy the iertutil.dll from there and then paste the iertutil.dll file in c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  That actually works, but it seems that it does not work as you will get an hour glass stuck on the paste operation and perhaps wonder whether or not it has actually worked.

    To feel better replace the missing file, so you can actually see the file being copied and replaced... Task Manager, click file, new task and enter in the box (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and first make a copy of the original file (if it exists) by entering the following command:

    copy c:\windows\system32\iertutil.old c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll

    That copies the file in progress if there is an and it will just complain if it is not a copy.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, copy the backup copy of the missing file and replace the missing or suspicious file by using this command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Who will replace the missing or suspicious file and if that's all that's wrong with the system, Shut Down box Task Manager, you can choose to reboot your system and see how things are going.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Trying to copy and paste a screenshot of a video game and stick it on the paint. All I get is a black screen Uni I put any graphic setting. How to paste it on Paint? I am able to do it on Vista, but not on Window7.

    Screenshots to work in painting with Windows7, unable to work, all I get is a solid black screen capture.

    I thought that is no longer a problem in the current version of Windows. In previous versions all that depended on what you were trying to catch and how it was made.

    First, make sure the game doesn't have its own ways to make screenshots. There are a lot of games that allow you to do and screenshots that are just after that saved to a folder. You must search settings keyboard... maybe you will find a similar option. What is the name of your game... maybe I can try to find this option.

    Other things... maybe it will be possible to intercept a tool cutting, then try this: when you're in the game, press the Windows key (it will open menu start without closing a game) > all programs > Accessories > capture tools > press an arrow next to new , and select full-screen Snip

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    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.

  • Windows 8 stuck in black screen after "making auto repairs.

    I had my HP laptop for five months. A few days ago that I opened the lid of my portable computer and it loaded and said "Configure automatic updates" at this stage, it was frozen. I held the power button down to do a hard restart. I turn it back on and it wouldn't start. I did a system refresh, defragment HDD, ran CCleaner and started in safe mode. At this point, the hard turned 100% use no matter what I did. I couldn't find a solution I did a system reset. He reset the whole PC and reinstalled Windows 8.  It got stuck in the facility to a black screen with just my mouse. I turned it off. Now when I turn on my laptop the screen goes black for about 15 seconds, then HP appears with "Automatic repair of preparation" below logo. It does this for about 20 seconds then the screen goes black. I left my computer for about 7 hours and the screen was always return. I do not have windows 8 CD or USB key. What can I do? Nobody here was willing to help with this problem, although there are a lot of Windows 8 users who have this. At this point, I am considering buying a Mac that I can't do it in the face of Windows 8. If someone could help me it would be apprciated. Thank you.

    I tried several repairs. I did a disk check by pressing F2 during the launch, and he said that the hard drive has failed. I contacted HP support and they are sending me a box to put my laptop in which I will return. So they will be replacing as there is somehow guaranteed on this subject. If someone experiences this problem, it is probably a hard disk crash. Good luck

  • restart of the computer from standby when I press start on the system unit, but not when a scheduled task is started

    Windows XP Professional SP3, updates, motherboard Asus P4P800 series (2006). The original system dates back to 2002, but there have been many additions and replacement upgrade. More recently, 2011, two old hard drives have been replaced (XP had destroyed itself requiring a reinstallation), with a much larger and HD, and the cpu has been replaced by a 3 GHz one.

    I've configured the BIOS to enable the use of standby mode (standby). I wanted to be able to run scheduled backup jobs early in the morning, a little before I wake up normally. The goal was to conserve energy. Whenever I leave the computer for more than an hour or two, I put it in sleep mode. In recent years, that it worked well.

    Scheduled tasks are still, in fact, more surely than ever. But now, when I press the Start button on the system unit, the operating system is restarted rather than restore the State of the system at the time of Eve. This happened almost constantly for maybe a week. I was always a guard never enter sleep mode when I'm aware of any application running who has not completed a requested operation (save a file, defragment a disk, etc.).

    I searched on the basis of knowledge, but not found any problems like that. There has been no hardware changes, no new devices; only change of important software (but it is difficult to see how it might be relevant) was the resettlement of Java Runtime Environment 6.x to support the help of OpenOffice. Although I have not checked, I am reasonably sure that all drivers are up-to-date.

    No idea why this should suddenly become a problem or how to fix?

    Hello
