Cannot be displayed on Windows XP splash screen when starting computer

When I boot my laptop with Windows XP... I don't see the startup screen that allows me to press F8 or other keys to enter in the BIOS before Windows loads up.

Any suggestions on how to correct... This was happening before.

I updated Windows XP... no other update available

Noelle,
Some BIOS settings may change if this screen or for how long you can see.  I suggest you contact the PC manufacturer to find out how to access the BIOS.  Then just start pressing the button as soon as the power lights.

  • Windows 7 splash screen will not change after the vista update

    After updating vista 32 bit to windows 7 32 bits, the splash screen will not change and he showed the vista boot. I read a lot of forum and the web page, but this solution:

    «.. . the dummies and bad start screen for Windows 7 is due to the locale entry in the startup folder, which could not be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When the locale is not found, Windows boot loader doesn't know what local startup folder to look for the animated bootscreen. Thus, in order to fix the boot screen so that the splash screen can be re-established, restored or reset to original animated Windows 7 boot screen, just run one of the following commands at the prompt with administrator rights:

    bcdedit/set {current} settings regional en-US

    or

    BCDboot % WinDir % / l en

    Change the US to the language version of Windows 7 installed, as ja - JP, en - us, es - ARE, pt - BR, zh - CN, zh - TW, fr - FR, fi - FI and etc.

    Restart the computer after running the command to see the new boot UI (user interface) be used again. To check if the locale has been entered properly, just run the bceedit command in the command prompt that is running as an administrator... »

  • Sims 2 questions on Windows 7 (64 bit) - black screen when starting the game

    Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

    When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

    I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

    I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

    Andy1502_a,
    If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Window remains white screen after starting windows screen. the system hangs after Mup.sys on safe mode

    The title pretty much everything said.

    The problem occurred on a fault that Dell Vostro 2510 with the additional option should only do the downgrade of Win Xp (from Vista).  As noted, on normal startup, the system will remain in a blank screen after the Windows Xp "loading" screen.  And on safe mode, it will join Mup.sys and then hang there.

    The closest thing that I got from a web search was a thread in forum saying that the official info from Microsoft was that it was a question of Win Xp/motherboard (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31874/?o=40 halfway to a post by Bobb Fwed).  The poster provided no link, so I don't know how official his info was really.

    Thank you

    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.

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.

    Hello

    You should look at your code in:

    MainController controller = loader.getController ((MainController));

    Controller.init (Window);

    Maybe add some loggin with time stamp information. A better approach is to build and display the window (it normally takes less than 1 second then) during and after the projection of your window, you must call the method init-controller.

    I'm having a problem with Windows Calendar. In the past, when I had an appointment for a date, the calendar would turn on automatically to remind me, as soon as I turned on my computer. Recently, this has changed. Now, I can always make an appointment, but if I'm not manually in calendar, it will not attract me, the way that it used to. Obviously the parameters have changed. I don't have any idea on how to solve this problem. Can you guys please help?
