• Vista will not go past the login screen.

  Recently, I added 2 user accounts for my children.  When I restarted windows would load the login screen, it would go no further.  I click on any of the newspaper in the icons or the icon close / restart and they apear highlighted, but nothing happens.  CTRl ALT DEL does not work either.  I've tired of loading in safe mode and may still not exceed this screen.  I tried restoring the sytem using F11 and select System Restore, and once again, I get to the login screen and will not move any further.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Vista will not go past the loading screen

  Hey - last night my computer was working fine, I had nothing to open and was watching television, then we had a power cut, I thought everything was fine. But when I went to turn my computer on this morning he gets just stuck at the loading screen (the one with the green bars). I have tried reboot, unplug the unit and system repair, the windows vista startup disk, just. When I put in the disc, it does something together press button as I do, then it loads the files then goes back right screen loading with green bars, he done the same for any route I'm trying. I could use the help because the computer has very important files that I can't afford to lose.

  Thank you

  Try and back up your data:

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  Good luck with it.

  Cheer.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop PC - will not get past the first screen of the BIOS

  Hello

  Since yesterday my PC, a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop computer, does not start. It freezes at the start screen "HP".

  It only allows me to enter the BIOS and it meets no other entry.

  I thought it might be the motherboard.

  Is anyone know about this problem? Is it already happened?

  It comes to my PC

  My PC was already supposed to be an upgrade, but I would like to know if this can be corrected before I create a new.

  I knew no more probably is not on warranty.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Which is usually caused by a corrupt BIOS. You can clear the CMOS. Sometimes, but not always, which solves the problem.

  It is of the card mother reference web page.

  Look for the clear instructions of the CMOS. The instructions do not specify this, but it is best to remove the RTC battery before performing the clear procedure of CMOS.

  While the RTC battery is out and the PC unplugged, press and hold the power switch of the PC for about 15 seconds. When you replace the RTC dough the + must be facing upwards.

  Best regards

• Satellite A300 will not get before the start screen

  Hi all

  had a problem with a laptop A300 about 2 to 2.5 years old. I just installed windows 7 prof and it worked fine for about 3 days and then all of a sudden it blocked start.

  He gets to the toshiba start screen and then reboots. He doesn't even try to start windows. You can go into the bios and make changes, etc., you can not press f8 to load in safe mode, only it does not even come to that.
  You can press f12 and raise the start menu and try to boot from the CD but this new fact not work and it just restarts again

  I don't know how else to troubleshoot it. I don't think it's a motherboard problem can you enter the bios.
  It could be a HARD drive problem, but then I thought it would have gave you a warning message of any (no available boot device) and you can see the HARD drive in the bios and would have thought that it would have started at least on a CD.

  The only things I can think about are drive problem HARD for the problem RAM or motherboard problem.
  I think install win 7 to 3 days there is just a huge coincidence?

  Any help would be great. Thank you

  Hi hitenkacha,

  Hmm... Which is really strange, if the laptop restarts after the Toshiba start screen but it doesn t happen if you go into the BIOS or boot menu...
  So, if you go into the BIOS and wait a few minutes, he doesn t restart?

  Yet one thing would be interesting to know: what happens if you try to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba? Generally, it should still possible to boot from this drive if it s ok.

  Check this box!

• E260 will not go past the opening screen

  I got my 260 E for about a year and later that yesterday I went to turn it on, but it remains on the logon screen. Enter mode 'sleep', but I can't listen to music or find out anything because it will not go beyond the opening screen. The second of 10-15 soft reset I tried a hundred times, but it does not work.

  If remove/insert the battery did not work, the next step would be to format the drive.  You can also try to update the firmware.  I hope that you have a model v1.  What does say on the back of the drive?  Do you see a blue Sansa logo on the splash screen?  If so, you have a model v2 with no recovery mode.

  Assuming you have a v1 with the recovery mode:

  1. Turn off the player.
  2. Slide the key lock (to headphone jack).
  3. Press and hold the RECORD when connecting to the PC.
  4. Output RECORD when the "Welcome to recovery mode" message on the LCD s drive.
  5. Open my computer/Windows explore and see if you can find a new "16 MB - FORMAT" labeled removable flash drive
  6. Right-click on 16 MB-FORMAT and select new folder.
  7. Name the new folder "sansa.fmt" (without the quotes).
  8. Use the remove safely icon in the system tray.
  9. HOLD reset in the unlocked position.
  10. Disconnect the player from the PC.

  The player must, by seeing the folder sansa.fmt in the root directory of the drive, proceed to format itself.  Pay attention to any error/success message see you.  If all goes well, it will tell the full format and then to restart.

  DO NOT TRY TO FORMAT THE VOLUME 16 MB-FORMAT!

  If the format does not work, the next step is to try to update the firmware.  Go to the correct sticky message and download the firmware for your region .24A (assuming that he is a player of v1).  Drag and drop the embedded .mi4 and ROM files of archive of the firmware in the root directory of the 16 MB-FORMAT drive.  Make sure that the files end up in the root directory and not in a subdirectory.  Unplug and restart the player as before.

• Error 17-Windows will not load past the splash screen, and system repair has no effect...

  Hi all, my problem is the following. Off my laptop the night before, an upgrade has been installed as usual. However, when I tried to start my computer the next day, I was meeting with a choice of operating systems, one was vista and one was something called "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET).» Of course I wanted to choose vista, but when selected has been sent to a screen that read (sorry for the amount of the entry).

  Start "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET)".

  (hd, 1)

  Specifien type is ntfs, partition type 0 x 7

  /openSUSe/ kernel linux devfs = mount, dall ramdisk_size = 65536 = ftp install: //ftp4.g wdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ server = ftp4.gwdg.de lang = en splash silent vga = 0x31A

  Error 17: File not found

  I don't know much about this sort of thing, so he thought better to include everything I could. At first, I tried to reload Vista, but it just opened the same screen, so found the vista disc that came with the laptop and it is stuck in. I ran sytem repair and system restore and both have had no effect.

  I'd appreciate any help is sorting this point, but if I have to reinstall vista (what I hear the hard disk wipes), is it possible to backup all my files to be reintergrated later.

  Thanks for any help!

  nothing will make me past the blue screen

  Model number G62-244

  Please help me!

  Hello cannary77:

  Sorry your computer broke down. Thanks to updates from Microsoft. Well I see you tried safe mode and couldn't open. I hope you have your recovery disk. It's the time to use them. Just insert the disk and turn on coomputer. If your memory or your hard drive was not damaged it must start the process of full recovery. Follow on screen commands. If you do not have your recovery disk, then you can order them through section of HP computer parts. I hope that this step is all you need. Because if this last resort fails then your computer should be taken for repairs. Maybe just replacing memory chips or the hard drive maybe both.

  Once you fall upwards and re-run. Modify the updater settings to automatically update, but let me pick witch to install. Now manually check you for updater and see if the updates are downloaded. Check only one couple at a time. For some reason when a buch of them settle in once, what is happening. I got lucky when it happpened to me. I could get my computer in safe mode and do a restore from the back. Since I changed my settings it didn't happen.

  Oh if you need send repairs request an estimate may be cheeper to buy new, then tries to fix it. Also check your warranty may still be covered. All HP computers come with one year warranty. Good luck

• Problem installing windows 7. It will not go beyond the Welcome screen.

  Hello people,

  Good so I recently bought an SDS and trying to do a clean install of windows 7 but it doesn't let me get past the Welcome screen. Before even the colored balls appear and it just hangs there. I am really frustrated and tried a few things but nothing I try seems to work.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

  Hello a tad noob.

  It shows the SSD at all? I would check to see that it is indeed to be picked up by the BIOS, and if not, check the cables.
  Sometimes, the Windows installation can chuck a fit when it detects a disk with a sector of boot/MBR not valid and won't install it. To resolve this problem, you can try the following
  1. start Windows 7 disc.
  2. when the Welcome screen is displayed on the Windows installation, press SHIFT + F10, which will display a command prompt.
  3 type 'diskpart' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
  4 Type "list disk" and press ENTER.
  5. If all goes well, you can see your SSD in the list. You should see a number identifier. Now type "select disk X" (where X is the number of your SSD) and press ENTER.
  6. type 'clean' and press ENTER. He will write an empty MBR, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE SSD if you had anything on it.
  I hope that one of these tips helps you:

• Vista will not work after the power to

  I have a HP Pavilion laptop with Vista SP 1 64-bit installed.  Tuesday, April 14 I turned it on only to freeze with in ten minutes after having informed me it had installed updates.  At first, I thought it was a problem with my browser and uninstalled FireFox.  This does not alleviate the problem.  I run my adware and spyware detectors to see if something to eat to the top of the RAM.  All scans were free of malware and it is free of all viruses as well.  It took me three tries to get even the scans indeed the computer would lock up after 10-15 minutes whenever I turn it on.  I thought maybe it was overheating and checked, but the CPU temperature is normal and the fan runs.  I tried a system restore to get rid the updates in case this was the cause of the problem since it had fixed the errors before.  No luck. On the first two tests, he wouldn't even finish the restoration of the system.  I ran the memory controller and it froze and then shut down the computer.
  It crashed last night, while I was running a System File Checker and everytime I try to start it in safe mode, it gets stuck on:
  Support: \Windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys
  After sitting there for sometimes more than ten minutes, it starts as usual only to freeze up again.  I tried to boot into safe mode with network and just Safemode and he refuses to do.  I am very worried that I have a big problem, but I can't stay up long enough to do any in-depth audit.
  All the world had similar problems or might know what the issue could be or am I just screwed?

  Hello brohne,

  Please use the Microsoft Answers form. Because you can run the sfc command or get no results to start in safe mode, I recommend that you perform a repair installation.  This option allows you to repair you computer and all in keeping your documents.  PLEASE SAVE YOUR SYSTEM VISTA FIRST.  The link below explains how to perform a repair installation.
