Black screen instead of my desktop

• Black screen instead of desktop Windows XP on Satellite A100-455

  I now have a permanent problem with my laptop Satellite A100-455, since it does not stop properly (in fact that he stopped when the battery was out...).
  Now systematically when I try to start the laptop, after the Toshiba and Windows XP family logo the rest black (only the work of the mouse arrow), the Windows desktop display ever!

  Even with a mode F8, I tried a few options without success...
  What can I do?
  Do you think that the only solution is the recovery of the system with the original recovery CD supplied with the laptop?
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hmm, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
  Wait a bit (1 hour should be enough) and together the two parties again.
  Then try to restart the device

  Otherwise, the new installation of the OS by using the recovery disk is a good choice and shouldn't take too long the procedure as a whole doesn't take longer than 10 minutes!

  See you soon and good luck!

• Black screen on startup instead of the splash screen

  Sometimes it shows a black screen instead of the start screen and I have to restart my laptop using ctrl + alt + delete.

  This happens at every start, but sometimes it takes a little more time to the log on screen (which shows the name and photo of the user) and a black screen appears with no option, same shortcut as windows, windows + D, windows + I, windows + C etc works on this screen. What conclusion I came up with, it is "there is no other choice, rather than using ctrl + alt + del-> restart" and then it works normally.

  am using alt + ctrl + del options to lock, ease of access, etc. Task Manager & the option to as well as I use to start my laptop and it starts normally.

  Then, the most likely scenario is that explorer.exe crushed and for some reason any decided not to try to recover.   Use the Task Manager to test this idea.   For example to enter his Details tab and see if explorer.exe is there, if not, you can use the TM file, run command... to try to run again.   You can also start some diagnostic programs such as trying to get a glimpse on why explorer.exe does not display you its screen start Event Viewer.   As I mentioned a likely explanation for this would be on the bad monitor but then I expect not allow you to see the Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu, no more.  The usability of this scenario is quite wrong and the user should understand the opportunity that can use the keyboard cannot be seen without doing something to change it.

  Hi OfeliaJohnson

   

  1 during how long have you had this problem?
  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  
  Method 1 :
  You can check if you are able to start properly in safe mode. In safe mode; you have access to only the drivers and base files. Check out the link to start the computer in safe mode and then check-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  
  Method 2:

  You can check if you can use the last known good configuration. It's a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly. Whenever you turn your computer off and Windows shuts properly, important system settings are saved in the registry. Then it starts Windows with the last configuration of registry and the pilot who has worked successfully.

  Please refer to the below links to get help on the issue.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  
  Method 3:

  If the problem persists you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

  Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

  Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.

• Problem: No icons on desktop, no taskbar, just a black screen with my pointer. I got a response to restart, press F8 to restart the menu, select Safe mode with network, but at this stage of my computer, it is in safe mode, help!

  Ideas:

  • Programs that you have problems with Windows XP
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Hello tfortexas

  Do you get the login screen before the black screen?    You never even get to the desktop?

  Try this fix.  You will need an XP installation CD.  If you don't have that it is OK to borrow one.  Try to get the same version of XP as your example Home/Pro/Media

  Configure your PC to boot from the CD if it is not already configured in this way. You may need to enter the BIOS to configure the PC to boot from the CD.

  Set the boot order of

  Floppy (if present)

  CDROM

  Hard drive

  RECORDING and EXIT

  Start your PC with the XP installation CD in the drive. When you see the prompt «Press any key to boot from CD...» ", do and start the process to boot on CD.

  When the Recovery Console option is available ("press R to start the Recovery Console"), do it. You may be asked to what Windows installation to enter, what kind of cases the number of the Windows installation you want to work (usually ' 1').

  When you are prompted, enter the password for the Windows installation. If you have not set up a password just press ENTER

  At the command prompt, type

  FIXMBR

  Come in

  Then type

  Fixboot

  Come in

  Type

  I accidentally put 100 files on my desktop and it went to black screen and will not work

  Hello

  Following methods and check if that helps.
  
  Method 1:

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts very well.
  
  Step 2:

  If the system starts in safe mode, then there would be a third-party software, causing the issue to occur. I wish that you start your machine in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.

  Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

  Method 2:

  If this does not help, you can perform System Restore in safe mode.

• Desktop do not Come Up - just a black screen.

  I had an error in the windows Explorer and windows shows just a black screen.  I am able to open the Task Manager, open the switch user option, etc. After doing ctrl + alt + delete.  Windows does not continue on the desktop. I can't open internet explore via the Task Manager run special command (or go to websites like microsoft support).  The start bar too is not available and no desktop icons appear.  It looks like a problem with a MSWin update.  Help, please.

  I use Windows 6 6002 SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 5.  Thank you

  Hello islem.

  1. what was the error message from Windows explore, that you have received?

  2 did you recently install Windows updates on the computer?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Check if you can access the desktop by typing explorer.exe using the Task Manager.

  If you are able to access the desktop, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  If you are unable to access the desktop then boot in safe mode then run clean boot.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode.

  Try the steps below to perform the clean boot on the computer.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• WIN8 - no desktop, black screen with the mouse pointer. Manager tasks and the login screen work.

  As usual I left my computer and after a few minutes, he fell asleep. Next morning, I had moved to the mouse, computer wakes, but I got a black screen with the mouse pointer. I hit CTRL + Alt + Delete and screen with Task Manager option appeared. I stop computer and rebooted. Welcome screen and logon is displayed. After you enter the password and click on submit that the screen becomes black with only the pointer visible mouse. I don't have not installed anything recently. Can you help me find my office?

  OK, I had the same problem. I thought that if you have a pointer and can launch Manager tasks and all programs through its file > new task, then the hull works correctly. No office and no taskbar mean that something is wrong with explorer.exe. Now, he has corrupted not necessarily, may not properly launched.

  Here's what I did:

  1. I opened the Task Manager, the Details tab

  2. I killed all explorer.exe on the list

  3. just to be safe, I also tried to kill dwm.exe but it will be may not be necessary (it never goes away)

  4. I started the new instance of explorer.exe via file > run

  And voila, I had the desktop and the taskbar.

  It will be useful.

• Black screen when launching the virtual desktop

  I have a user who gets a black screen when you connect to their virtual desktop (linked clone).  I tried to delete the profile and the regeneration it with no luck.  It seems that I'm in the office and I can send Ctrl + Alt + Delete to start the Task Manager, but it's just a black screen.  I tried to change the RDP protocols, but the results are the same.  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for your answer "vcpguy".  The solution was to delete the profile and recompose the link clones (specialized basin).  I'm just assuming recomposing would have solved the problem since that removes the profile completely unlike a refresh settings of I tried first.

  You can try to start your 220 s in VGA mode (video low resolution).

  To start your computer in low video mode resolution, follow these steps:
  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.
  2. hold the F8 key as your computer restarts.
  3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Activate video low resolution (640 × 480)and press enter.

  If the problem is not reappear low resolution mode, then the question is probably associated driver. You may be able to resolve this problem by updating the video driver with the latest version of Dell or Intel.

• Satellite L305-S5919 - Desktop is a black screen

  My computer is Satellite L305-S5919.

  Whenever I boot, the screen is coming Black. Istill see the homepage and the loading bar, but the office is coming as a black screen. I have control of the mouse and that's all.

  There are solutions to this problem?

  In my opinion, you must use the radical method to solve this problem. If something is damaged, you have so chances are to make it work properly again. I can see the system applications cannot be started, Toshiba power saver is done and who knows what else is corrupted.

  So if possible to reinstall OS and all will be OK again.
