• Black screen with only the mouse pointer

  I just bought a Toshiba with Windows 7 laptop. Black screen with the mouse cursor after a few minutes of no use.  It seems to be the activity of the laptop but nothing happens even with a Control Alt Delete. I noticed after like 20 minutes, the windows screen comes back on.  Any ideas to solve this problem.

  Hello

  Since there seems to be a fairly new computer, you should check with the seller and the support from Toshiba
  for possible replacement and/or warranty repairs. Remember that do you more that they can
  It's something that you don't.

  Check with Toshiba support, their books online and the drivers and their known forums

  Why my screen is black when I start Windows 7?

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  No registration necessary data and re - install Windows 7 might be the best option, but here are a
  few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer or an external hard drive enclosure, then
  saving them. Do this using several methods to redundantly. Of course, a real computer
  Shop or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  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.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.
  You can try a google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these
  cover a wide field of efforts.

  Here's a video of one of them.

• How can I keep the start screen saver in the same place every time?

  When you use the screensaver on Windows Vista,

  It always starts at the same point, with the same images - no other place.

  If the screen saver works long enough, you later see photos at the end.

  but it's several hours!

  It is set to randomly mix - but I think that is random within each file, and I have several files in 'photos '...

  Because it begins with the same file of photos, I never see the images in files at the end.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello Terrahterrah,

  I was looking for this thread and saw that you wanted the screensaver start on another folder or pick up where he left.

  Unfortunately, we cannot control this in Windows without constant human intervention.

  I would recommend looking for software third benefit from this feature.

  Best regards

• Receive the same message several times, and does not receive any other emails.

  Using Outlook Express, I got the same email, while I can't receive any other emails of revenue due to downtime. I increased the time to 5 minutes.

  The file that retains a number of messages downloaded probably has been corrupted.  Remove the pop3uidl.dbx file (hidden) and see if that fixes the problem.

  Method 2:

  If you have the Windows Vista disc, the computer by using the startup disk and perform the Startup Repair. See the following links:

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

  Make repairs to the system from the Windows recovery environment.

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

   

  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.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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

• HP DesignJet 1000 series, a bad cable rear transport stop in the same place every time?

  Hello. On a series of 1000 HP DesignJet 1050c more think that FW A.52.02, a bad cable rear transport stop in the same place every time?  It stops just to the right of each start, attached photo Center.  Do not know if it is directed to the left or right at the time; I asked the customer, but it has not yet responded.  It is hundreds of miles away with customer.  I was not there; I try to get a very good idea of what everything I need and that you need to do before I travel such a distance.

  It gets the error "check printhead path type (2).  Customer said that began as he tried to pass to 24 "paper roll of I think 36" roll of paper.  Maybe this is related to the different movements to transport would be to manage different width, but there will be an underlying problem.  (Well, I guess it does now any width.)  I read that if transport stops in the same place every time when you start, it's probably one of the following:

  1 necessary transport height adjustment.

  2 tubes of rub excessively in the channel of tubes.

  3. bad transport (Mouasher Sa'ad says that the bad capacitors once a trolley stop at the same place;) Guess it could be a bad encoder sensor but think the transport would simply jump a quarter inch or so if the case.)

  Well, guess it might be something to the top with the belt too, so:

  4. bad belt (once I had 1 too short and kept cause type 2 error - stop inches couple out right every time)

  I cleaned and lubricated all - channel rods and tubes of cursor. It worked fine for 5 months.

  Here, I simply want to exclude ideally that a bad end cable would cause traffic to stop at the same place every time.

  Thanks for any input.

  Paul

  Usually, a bad end cable will not cause you have. It could be one of the items you listed, but could also be the encoder being dirty in this place. Most of the time it's the belt as a defect in a bad belt could stop at the same place. If the sheath is a problem most of the time it stops at the opening of the left side. Also, if the tubes most of the time you can fix a bunch of heavy clear packing on the rim tape, tubes rub against and which solves the problem.

• Adobe Media Encoder to Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

  Currently, I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these problems before export. My calendar is less than 3 minutes long, but it deals with several large files. He made perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually a few seconds in!) then exit breaks down, while I force. I tried to export as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried to create a new project from scratch and whisk a few titles and export that to see if it's just export anything. The new project exported very well, however, which I suppose is good news. But yes, my work on this project is very important for me and I reallllly want to export it. Help, please!

• Windows Vista - blank screen with only the mouse pointer at the start - tried everything

  My laptop (Dell Latitude E6500) stopped recently begin correctly recently - one morning, he froze connection so I powered it off and then on again. When he started to I only got a backlit black screen with a mouse pointer - nothing works, clicking or Ctrl Alt Delete.

  So far I have tried the following:
  • Dell Diagnostics tool - no problems found
  • Safe mode - the same thing happens in all modes of security
  • Restore the system using CD of Vista - no restore point
  • Repair the system using the Vista CD - no error
  • Essentially, nothing to do with the Vista CD solved the problem, so I tried the forums

  • I copied explorer.exe working copies, taskmgr.exe and winlogon.exe from a broken computer work computer, it did not resolve anything.
  Are there solutions more I can try? There must be something I can replace/remove/change in order to get Starter beyond this point where is seems to 'block '.

  It's the Dell forum, so why you post questions on a computer HP here?

  The Dell diagnostics probably will work correctly with the HP hardware so that the results are meaningless.
