• Computer laptop Windows XP does not start? Help

  Hi I have a windows xp laptop I think that their system eis or something like that... Whenever I start the laptop, he's going on the error you get when your dosent laptop shut down correctly. If I click on start normally the bar will spend about a quarter of the way and then just stayed forever and only safe mode also gets a freeze from then. Y at - it something wrong with the laptop or what. How can I get my laptop to work again... someone help me please.

  It is up to tell you to us what brand of system and the model is... not "system ist or something like that."

  When you choose to start safe mode and you can see all the stuff being loaded and the system crashes, which is the last line on the screen to say?

  If you attached an external equipment, especially USB devices, disconnect everything and then you can see if things seem better.

  If you get an error message windows system config, exactly what he says?

  No error paraphrased messages please!

  It was something like this:

  Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

  Which usually indicate some sort of corruption of system files may be a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).  None of this seems familiar?

  If you can boot from a CD, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk with correction of errors on the afflicted to start System.

  Here's how:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Computer laptop Windows 7 does not detect my Xbox 360

  Recently, I bought my used console. My laptop's overview of Windows 8 consumers. Although I didn't have the Media Center option, my Xbox could detect and stream my music, videos and photos from my PC. I've recently returned to Windows 7because the license of Windows 8 has been set to expire January 15. Now, for some reason unknown, my Xbox does not detect my PC or my PC detects my Xbox as an Extender in Media center. I tried everything I could think of and the instructions I found on the Xbox site, nothing done. Before I posted this, I also tried things left to people with similar problems in the answers in this forum. I tried manually assign the IP addresses of my two Xbox and PC, disabling my Windows and the firewall of the router, restart Windows Media Player sharing service, allowing the streaming on my Xbox which appeared in my streaming options, disconnect and reconnect my Xbox and PC on my network of countless times and shout and scream about the whole situation.

  I tried not to open the ports because that I have disabled any firewall that I don't see. I have McAfee installed, but my subscription has expired so I uninstalled. I am at a loss for what to do because I tried everything I read and thought. We have 4 PC in our House and everyone but mine my console can detect and disseminate. Three of the four run Windows 7 Home Premium x 64, the 4th with Vista 32 bit. All the computers are on the same network and all. I tried ping my Xbox to my PC and it timed out every time, but my PC does not detect it in a way because it shows in my options on my PC for streaming media. There must be something with my PC and Windows 7 only because like I said before, everything has worked at the time where it ran Windows 8. Anyone can end this madness?

  Never mind. I thought about it. I restarted the SSDP Discovery service that restarted the services necessary to make this work.

• my laptop Windows 8 does not illuminate

  Hi, I have problems turning on my PC Toshiba laptop wibdows 8. I loaded for about an hour and tried to turn it on, but that has not worked. The battery does indeed pay when I plug in the adapter, but the laptop itself still does not even turn on when I press the power button. Can someone help me with this you problem?

  Hello Valelow,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  As described in the question, I understand you have a problem with turn your PC laptop Toshiba in Windows 8.

  I understand that it must be very frustrating when all of a sudden your computer power not on. However, we will work to get this problem solved with our combined efforts. If there is something related to Windows, we will certainly address this problem.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. You see any signal or any beep code when you press the power button?
  2. Have you checked out the battery and start the computer while the computer connected directly to the power?
  3. Off the computer is correctly the last time?

  Especially this kind of problems appears due to the failure of the part, but sometimes it can also be caused due to static electric lock. We can try to change the time to flee or be able to release the static power and check if that helps.

  It's actually a very simple step that usually solves problems such as issues of power no. and blank screens.

  1. Remove the battery and then disconnect the connected AC adapter.
  2. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, then release.
  3. Reinsert the battery and then reconnect the AC adapter.
  4. Turn on the computer.

  If the problem persists, I suggest you obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the computer from the computer manufacturer or store local tech.

  Hope this information is useful. Please let us know the results. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

• Computer HP laptop window vista does not load please help

  someone asked this question and I have the same problem!

  I have a laptop HP who have dirtied pre-installed Vista and for some reason after installing automatically 3 updates the other day, he is not now charge up. The laptop is plugged in so it can configure 3 updates without failure (due to something like battery dying).

  When the laptop turns on, it gives me two options:
  • Start the reboot system (recommended)
  • Start Windows normally

  If I click on 'Launch Startup Repair', he comes back to do the same screen with them two options and when I click on "Start Windows normally", the laptop everything restarts and then return to this screen.

  Thus, F8-ing it does not help either - it gives me options like computer repair, Mode safe mode, last known good, etc... but none of these helped either.

  I looked around online for a solution, but most say on the use of the Vista installation CD, but the operating system is installed on a partition on the laptop (also there are files on what I would come down)... However I do not know if I can get it to boot on the installation partition either

  I tried F8, F11, F12 and nothing works

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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.

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

  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.

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

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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.

  See you soon.
