Can I enable disable the Windows Boot Manager?

My Vista Home Premium 64 has a great deal for a year.  Now, at the start, I get "Windows Boot Manager" (a scary BACK-looking screen) which delays the start-up for 30 seconds, and everything seems to work MUCH more slowly.  I think the problem started when I installed Norton Ghost 14.  Can I disable this thing WBM somehow and have always Windows Vista starts successfully?  How?

The change occurred because of an option in Ghost. Ghost may have given you an option to create a recovery partition and you took it. Consult the manual of Ghost or its options or contact Symantec technical support. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Error: "no physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I have a stable system that works with a processor E6300, card mother evga 680i, graphics card 8800gts and 8gbs of RAM running on ulitmate windows 7 (32 bits - I decided to re - install with 64-bit to use the extra 4 GB of RAM, after I deal with the question below).

    I recently tried to add an adapter of Intel RS2WC080 SAS/SATA controller in a PCI express slots on the card mother 680i. I know that the card works (such as "it works very well in another motherboard), but for some reason when I put it in the 680i mobo I get the following message appears when I try to start windows. (i.e. the raid controller has no windows on the disks. I always use original hard drive always connected on the same Sata port on the motherboard)

    "No physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I tried to turn off virtually everything I could in the bios of the motherboard as an experience (including the things I needed). I also disabled the Intel RS2WC080 card bios.

    I'm puzzled. So what I want to know is simply a hardware compatibility problem, or is there some kind of workaround I can run in windows 7. For example, is there maybe some sort of way for her to start using a different memory location than its currently using? (Or is it something error message related to the memory of the bios that can only be overcome with software?)

    Thanks for any help.

    I tried to disable everything in the bios... including the things I needed. No luck

    Thank you very much for the reply Chris but I don't have abandoned bascially. Right now I guess the card and the 680i have some kind of incompatibility and I will just get a different mobo.

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    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.

  • Installation of construction LabVIEW application disables the Windows Device Manager? Help on how to diagnose the problem?

    Please can anyone shed light on this, or suggest where to look?

    I built an application using the Application Builder of LV2014 (32 bit).

    On a Win7 X 64 PC at work, it installs and runs ok.

    On Win7 X 64 PC at the customer, it installs ok, but then after Windows restarts on demand 'device manager' no longer works and there are some unchangeable registry entries associated with nipalu. The client runs Symantec security software. A client COMPUTER technician is suggesting that LabVIEW is interacting with device drivers and this is the origin of the problem, but we do not know how to go further. It is not really acceptable to deploy computers where the Windows Device Manager no longer works. Surprisingly, the application itself works always - it's just Windows which messed up.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the suggestions. The company IT guy has not been able to talk to a person in NI UK support (no one was available), but he managed to keep it down to a problem with Dell Data Protection encryption Enterprise Edition. Delete first, then install the LabVIEW application, then reinsert DDPE gave a system where everything worked.

    We have built apps that used progressively more labview drivers (vision, labview base; digital i/o)

  • Remove Windows installing on the Windows Boot Manager

    Title: two Windows Vistas on my PC

    I installed windows vista on my pc, but it wasn't working properly, so I installed it again.  When my computer starts it now goes to windows Boot Manager where there are two window vista operating systems.  The first is OS (C) data D, and the second is OS (D) data C.  First of all, why my computer goes to the window instead of going directly boot manager in windows vista.  Second, how remove the windows version of vista that I do not want to and get the one I want to get into Windows vista without using the Boot Manager?

    Hi BertieBarfield,

    To remove an entry in the Windows Vista Boot Configuration, the simplest method is to use msconfig.

    To start msconfig:

    (a) click Start

    (b) in the search text box, type msconfig

    (c) launch msconfig by selecting it in the results of search above the search text box.

    After that the system configuration is launched:

    (d) go to the Startup tab

    (e) select the boot entry to remove.

    (f) click the button Delete and then click OK.

    Note: Be sure to be connected to the Windows Vista partition, you want to keep when you perform these steps if you do not remove the good installation by mistake, this will cause data loss.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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
