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.

    Oh, OK, well this isn't probably the problem, but for good measure, you should get the latest version of the software for your printer from the "support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

    In the meantime, we will reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.

  • Window of email Outlook Express is lost on the side of the monitor and can not be read or moved. How to open the middle of my screen? Lorraine

    Windows XP.    I use Outlook Express to get my e-mail address.    When I open the e-mail message, he disappears on the side of the monitor with just a tad showing so I know it's there.   I can't move it with my mouse.  I have to click on the advice of the taskbar, click on maximize and then it fills the screen.  How can I get the e-mail to open in the middle of the screen, and hiding on the edge?

    Thank you.

    I'm not familiar with Outlook Express, but here are a couple of common solutions for windows that are out of the screen as you describe...

    (1) with the active window (as when you open just it), press Alt-space, and then press the button "M".  Then try using the arrow keys on the keyboard to bring the window on the screen.  Press "Enter" to move the window.  If it works, try to close the window at this time (I hope that it will save the current position of the window), and then reopen it.

    (2) try a right click on an empty space in the taskbar and select "Cascade Windows".

  • Problems connecting to the Internet, and can not use the command prompts

    Hi I started having problems with my internet via wi - fi access, but all my other devices and other portable computers have no problem accessing it.

    I used videos online and other forums to try to solve this problem. I tried to use the "netsh winsock reset" command as an administrator but it comes up with access denied and I tried to change my permissions, but they have been created and are unable to change.

    I also tried to change my ipv4 and ipv6 in the command as well as manually typing in the system google dns.
