Cannot select another windows (no startup option)

• Cannot select several windows in the taskbar.

  In Windows XP, you may hold down the CTRL key and select multiple windows, then right-click on one of them and choose close, which would close all save time and clicks.

  However, in Windows 7, you cannot select multiple windows at the same time using CTRL.

  Is there a logical reason for it?

  Is there an alternative?

  With the redesign of the taskbar, les ingenieurs engineers included a method to close all windows of a particular program.  There is however no more multiple-selection.  You can always do this by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Escape and then using Ctrl-click to select and close the windows of this list of programs.

  However, there is no alternative to the taskbar.

  For additional reading on technical and creative process that went into the design of the new taskbar, see the Engineering Windows 7 blog by the developers themselves, to http://blogs.msdn.com/e7.

  Hello I have kinda the same problem as above:
  -> Win 7 Pro
  -> Boots of emissions 'Press ctrl + alt + del' screen
  -> When this is pressed, the prompt for the password is not displayed
  -> Impossible to recover from cd

  After working with this problem for some time, I found that when computer shuts properly, the next log does not display the password prompt.  If the computer is turned off via a second 5 press power button, the password prompt is displayed the next time the computer is turned on.

  I had an old image of the operating system on a hard drive (HD replaced with solid state) that I used to "restore".  The question that has happened again a few days late.  I can't keep backup/restore all the time because it is very tedious (there are a lot of changing data on this computer a duty to back up like that all the time isn't a realistic solution)

  It can be the cause of this problem? I want to solve this problem without having to recreate the image and restore new data. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

• Windows Vista startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically

  The issue takes place at the start.  The computer go directly into Startup Repair, which finally returns the message above.  It allows me to report the problem or not and then proceeds to close.  What can I do?

  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.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  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.

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

  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.

  Ask them if 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

  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.

• Cannot start on the screen and can not access early startup options

  Original title: no access "advanced boot options".

  I've had my new Sony Vaio laptop for a little less than two months now, it came preloaded with Windows 8. However this afternoon after startup, I got a blue screen, followed by the message: "repair disk errors. It may take more than an hour to finish '. After less than 10 minutes, it restarted itself, only to start on a black screen with a cursor. When I stop or put it to sleep, it will start ONLY at the back screen after a short while on its loading screen "VAIO". Windows does not make me a "Advanced Boot options" as it should, so I have no access to any system restore, update them or safe mode options.

  The only thing I've been able to think is to ask a Windows 8 install disc my manufacturer because I don't have access to an iso of windows 8 DVD/USB to boot from. Are there other options I can try as I wait to hear from Sony on an installation disk? I am so far not impressed with 8 in all, the system "Advanced Boot options" auto seems ridiculous to me.

  I looked at the options for creating the installation of Windows 8 media, and I have access to another computer running Windows Vista to create this, but I don't have access to a product key of Windows 8, because my Sony notebook came with the operating system pre-installed, and I couldn't find a key product or on the laptop itself , or anywhere in the documentation that accompanies it. For this reason, the Installation of Windows 8 media doesn't seem to be an option for me.

  However I saw a feature on my phone that allows me to start directly on the boot advanced options. an assist beside my power button which, when I hold while the laptop is turned off, starts directly at the menu said.

  Now that I have access to advanced startup options, I tried an auto-recovery, he said was not possible, and I also had the same thing when you attempt a system refresh, so was the only thing I was able to reset to the factory settings.

  I still have no idea what triggered the problem, or why it was not possible for automatic retrieval or update it, however it seems to work fine now that it is restored to factory settings, though not ideal or practical.

• Cannot select boot without keyboard - Touchsmart 300-1020 option

  Yesterday at 02:00 my touchsmart came in itself, so I turned it off in my sleep.  This morning I turned it on and it is stuck to the windows page asking you to choose me Recovery (recommended) or start Windows normally.  After a countdown from 30 seconds, * beep * starts all over.

  The news suggests that the computer was turned off during a windows update... entirely possible... I was asleep!

  The problem is this: I can't choose anything because it does not recognize the USB or bluetooth keyboard, so I can't select start Windows normally, much less run all tests.

  I replaced the batteries in the keyboard and plugged a usb keyboard... obviously that didn't work.  If I have a recovery disk I have no idea where it is, or if he would seek from DVD player without being able to select an option in the BIOS.

  Any ideas?

  You won't believe this, but here's what worked: a USB to Mac keyboard.

  Yes, that's true.  After trying my Dell keyboard in all USB ports, I decided to try one of my Mac keyboards.  Worked perfectly, now Windows ends, it's 'Do not turn Power Off' installation.

  A round of applause for Apple please.
