I accepted an update from Microsoft for Vista SP1 on my Acer 5920 laptop. After re-boot to complete the update, the Acer is no longer wakes up. What happened and how I can fix itplease?

Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

 

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

 

If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

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:

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.

See you soon.

  • I have windows7 64 bit on a computer acer laptop, but I want to change my OS to 32-bit. Is it possible with the same product key?

    Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

    I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?

    If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

    If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

    To reinstall Vista.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery discs, IF it is still available.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  • Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not

    My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
    Malwarebytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Microsoft safety scanner

    And it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.

    BitDefender Rescue CD
    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    Turn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.

    Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.

    When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.

    I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 on an Acer Extensa 4420.  I had problems with my laptop screen.  Whenever we try to change user or shut down the computer, the laptop screen does not illuminate.  I tried something I read on the internet, where you remove the battery and unplug the unit and then put the back and reboot and it worked for awhile but is less consistent.

    I am currently using the computer with an external monitor connected.  I downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card and that didn't make a difference.

  • Satellite x 200 SLi: I lost sound after Vista SP1 installation

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite x 200 SLi

    After I installed the SP1 of Vista, I just lost sound and even update the audio drivers... I still have several problems such as: sometimes the sound stops, errors, try to display movies... etc...

    Vista tells me that I have Norman for update my drivers but I already have the last avaiable driver on TOSHIBA page.

    Anyone with the same problem?
    No idea how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    The problem is that Microsoft's Vista SP1 makes trouble. The problem is that not all drivers are compatible and fully supported by SP1.

    I think you have a Realtek audio chip. Perhaps have you check the site Web of Realtek s the latest HD audio driver

    If this doesn't help, then you will have to wait until the new update is available (or you will remove him SP1)

    Hi DonJazz,

    The most common cause is a computer virus that has disabled the automatic update of Windows, or another service on your computer that is required by Windows Update. If your computer is infected with a virus, you will need to analyze and clean first and then restart these services. While your computer may not be infected with a virus, it is recommended that you follow the steps to search for viruses and then turn on the services.

    To restart in Mode safe and search for possible viruses

    If a virus infects a computer, it often blocks the ability of the computer to run antivirus programs or causes these ineffective programs. Follow these steps to control and eradicate any viruses:

    1. reboot your computer in safe mode. For more information, see start your computer in safe mode .

    2. scan your computer for viruses.

    3. Please see How to get rid of malware for more information on removing the virus programs and malware from your computer

    4. Once you've scanned and removed any viruses, restart your computer.

    For more information about restarting the services required by windows update, please see the link below.

  • Toshiba laptop problem after Gaming/Windows Update.__No solution on the web.

    Hello! I use a Toshiba laptop.

    I was playing a game and windows update popped up!

    He has not yet finished, and my computer turns off. It was late in the night, so I decided to start the computer the next day.

    He will appear with the options
    'Safe Mode '.
    "Safe mode with network.
    "Safe mode with command prompt.
    "Last good known Configuration".
    "Start Windows normally".

    Whichever one I choose Windows XP logo appears, then crashes immediately, restart.

    So I tried to use "do not restart in case of shutdown"

    And the blue screen appears

    "stop: 0x0000007e (0x905c49b8, 0xf792b2b4, 0 x 80000003, 0xf792afb0).

    What is this error? I can't enter safe mode by the way!

    Thanks for your help.

    It's http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182

    Advanced Troubleshooting use the following methods in the order in which they are presented. Method 1: Make sure that you have enough hard drive firstly space, make sure you have enough hard disk space. The Stop error message can be caused by insufficient disk space.

    If you use safe mode or the Recovery Console to start the computer, delete any unnecessary temporary files, Internet cache files, backup files of stored-program files that contain fragments of disk analysis files (.chk files). Alternatively, you can install Windows XP on another hard drive that has more free space.

    If you cannot start the computer, go to the next method to update the BIOS of the computer.

    For more information on safe mode or the Recovery Console click on the numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    315222 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222/) a description of the options to start Windows XP in Safe Mode
    314058 (http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058/fr/) Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console

    Method 2: Update the computer BIOS if freeing space on your hard drive has not solved the problem, the BIOS might have to be updated. Use hardware and software vendor contact information items that are listed in the "Références" section to contact the computer manufacturer to obtain the most recent update of the BIOS.

    Note When you update the BIOS, you may have to disable the memory the BIOS options, such as caching or shadowing him, temporarily. Method 3: Disable or update device drivers if you have successfully updated the BIOS and the problem persists, on the computer video card drivers may have to be updated or disabled. Follow these steps to troubleshoot video card drivers:

    1. If a driver is listed by name in the Stop error message, disable or remove that driver.

      • If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is using the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver.
      • If the driver is used as part of the procedure of starting the system in safe mode, you must use the Recovery Console to start the computer.
    2. If the Stop error message does not indicate a specific driver, update the video card for the latest drivers.
    3. Disable or remove drivers or services that you recently added.
    4. Check the list of Microsoft hardware compatibility (HCL) to determine if the computer's PCI devices are compatible with Windows XP. For more information about the HCL, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
      http://www.Microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx)

    Method 4: Remove unsigned drivers if you have updated the video card drivers and the problem persists, or if you cannot start Windows in safe mode, the problem may be caused by a different driver, not signed. Remove all drivers that are not digitally signed by Microsoft. For more information on how to do this, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    316434 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434/) how to perform advanced clean boot troubleshooting in Windows XP

    Method 5: Remove all third-party drivers, you may be unable to determine which third-party driver causes the error. If removing unsigned drivers does not resolve the problem, try to move all third-party driver to the %Windir%\System32\Drivers folder files to another location. Follow these steps to move the third-party driver files:

    1. Use the Recovery Console to start the computer, or start the computer from a different installation of Windows if you have performed a parallel Windows installation.
    2. Create a temporary folder for the driver files. For example, you can create a c:\DriverTemp .
    3. Move all files that do not have a creation date for Windows XP of the 13/08/2001 to the %Windir%\System32\Drivers folder to the temporary folder you created in step 2.

      Warning If the computer relies on pilots third-party IDE or SCSI controller for correct operation, you must identify those driver files and leave them in the %Windir%\System32\Drivers folder.

    4. Restart the computer.
    5. Continue Windows Setup. You can add the files of the driver to the computer, one at a time to identify the faulty driver.

    Method 6: Remove third-party remote control services if you still have the problem after you use the previous methods and the Stop error message contains the name of the file Win32k.sys instead of a file name of the driver, the problem may be caused by a control program to third distance. To remove the service, use the Recovery Console to start the computer, and then delete the file of control service third-party remote.
