  • Qosmio G30 white screen when you start Windows XP

    Hi everyone - first time poster here!

    Today I turned on my Qosmio Toshiba G30 as I normally do, except that this time, the screen remained blank. Normally, the start of Qosmio screen appears with the music of Qosmio, but only Qosmio music out... no image on the screen! The computer continues to boot properly, but nothing has been posted.

    I panicked and I thought I'd need to buy a new computer...

    While I was on the phone with a friend to a support, I pressed the "TV Out" button (found in the upper right corner). That's it - the screen turned on, but all my icons have been reorganized.

    I tried to reinstall the display driver, but this is still the case every time that I reboot. The problem occurs not when putting the computer to sleep and look upwards again.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Check if the video output has not been set for external monitor or TV.
    You can change this by using the FN + F5 key combination.

    I also recommend to connect an external monitor to the laptop.
    Maybe you have defined somehow (accidentally) the external display as the primary display?  :|

    However, you are using Win XP as I m wrong not the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista. (is it true?)
    Maybe you should take a recovery disk Toshiba and must be reinstalled the self-image of Toshiba.

    Technically, since it's the same effect with the same settings, it works on both sizes. However, you need to test both is to decide if it will appear visually correct on both screens or not. On screens more wider/taller objects can appear earlier on the screen, it is advised to test again on both screens.

  • I have a black screen when I install Windows 8 on Multiboot with Windows 7?

    Hello

    I tried, again and again, to install Windows 8 on a custom installation, so that I could Multiboot Windows 7 and 8 together.
    I already have a genuine Windows 7 Ultimate installed, and I purchased Windows 8 PRO download site Australian Microsoft windows, the operating system on my computer (using software that I installed from the windows Web site once I bought it), and burned the Windows 8 PRO ISO on a DVD.
    I did a forum on how to use disk management to create a partition for Windows 8, it's not the problem.
    Once I run the Windows 8 installation DVD in the Boot menu, I entered my product key and the installation continues its way and the computer restarts like twice, but the third restart it comes up with a black screen! I waited 15 minutes, but still nothing around. I also tried different ways to install Windows 8 on a multi boot (as I don't want to lose Windows 7 and all my files - I NEED multiboot), but she always ends up with a black screen with no end!
    Someone please help me, as now Im left without windows!
    Thank you
    -RJ

    Hey

    I found a solution for the problem of black screen!

    Thank you to all the guys who have tried to help me solve this problem. I really appreciate it!

    There seemed to be a problem with my monitor, or my graphics card drivers and windows installation 8.

    The solution has been found on the HP forums, at this link:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-display-and-video-e-g-Windows-8/Installing-Windows-8-upgrade-black-screen-after-Windows-8/TD-p/1974699

    And thanks to cSalman on this forum, he wrote:

    WINDOWS INSTALLATION PROCESS 8 EVEN AFTER THE VACUUM OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN:

    1. In MSCONFIG, uncheck "Load Startup items". Disable everything in the 'Services' tab and then restart the computer.
    2. Install windows 8. After 1 restart, the screen will become empty.
    • Connect another monitor/TV with your laptop / desktop.
    • Your windows process 8 installation display on 2nd monitor/TV, but will remain empty in the 1st monitor.
    • Complete all the installation process of windows 8.
    • Once done, change the settings of the monitor to windows. OR simply close the lid of the laptop and open back

    MY EXPERIENCE:

    • In my case, what happened, I was installing Windows 8 to my Toshiba laptop.
    • I did 2nd TV monitor and installation process begin to show in it, while the laptop screen remains black all the time.
    • After complete installation, my laptop screen stays black and would not be ' t difficulty even with the help of response from Microsoft Support.
    • So they rise to more expert and I suppose me to receive the call from them the next day.
    • Same day that I started to watch a movie with my TV monitor, then I thought allows me to close the lid of the laptop.
    • As I closed the lid of the laptop, TV erased, so I opened the lid laptop back again.
    • As I opened the rear lid, windows 8 has detected the laptop screen and started working

    ------------------------

    And Voila! After disabling all services and startup items in windows 7, then using my TV as my monitor, I was able to complete the installation of Windows 8 and now I'm happy!

    Thanks again,

    RJ

  • Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E black screen when you wake up from stand-by

    Hello

    I have a laptop computer (PSA65E) A60 and I am really slow recently so I decided to reinstall windows XP.

    I didn't have the CD that came with the laptop, so I don't know if it was an installation CD or recovery CD.

    But I installed WinXP home with SP3 slipstreamed in him with a folder for all the drivers. I installed without any problem and installed the drivers for the wifi, display etc.
    And yes it has been activated via windows until someone asks.

    In any case when I closed the lid and exploited later I couldn't have the laptop to wake up.

    Well it is but with a white screen, the fans start up and I get all the flashing lights on the front, but no display. I had the mouse pointer once but nothing else.

    I read a lot of forum posts here on all sorts of ways to fix, but I can't get an any of them to work. Tried to get new drivers, got all of the updates from windows update and the bios is the most recent.

    Any ideas on what is happening here, because it is really annoying me.

    Thank you Will

    Hello

    To be clear. The notebooks are actually not SP3 supported and if you want to have good work use OS support Windows XP SP2 home edition.

    I know what you're probably thinking now but all offered tools and utilities are obviously not designed and tested with SP3.
    It is a pity that you n t have Toshiba recovery CD. With the original recovery image, it should work correctly.
    Usually these problems are solved with the updates to the BIOS, but if you have a last I really t know what you can try to fix it.

    As you can see it is very often problematic to use latest updates on older models of laptop.

  • Error loading C:windows\mstapox.dll, when you start Windows XP

    Does anyone have a solution?

    There is no file with this name in XP.

    In addition, there very few dll that must be load in the c:\windows folder and is not one of them.

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If that's really what you see, then your system is now or was hit by malware.

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
    . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can just turn it off, restart and if the problem is resolved and things are functioning normally and everything works fine, then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    Here is the complete troubleshooting tool. Make sure to run the system restart, then SFC/scannow tool
    and chkdsk /f /r (CheckDisk) from the command to a startup disk.

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
    -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
    then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
    then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
    accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
    base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
    adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.
    You can try a google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these
    cover a wide field of efforts.

  • Black screen when you try to play a video rental

    HI all, I rented a movie from iTunes and I got everything updated iTunes and OsX but whenever I'm trying to play the screen is all black and the movie will not play. I can see screen grab when I go to the chapters, but could not get anything to play. I tried for authorizing and reauthorizing my computer - I have a MacBook Air 11 '' end 2013.

    abyone else has this problem and have you found a solution for this?

    Same question.  I recently bought a new MacBook Pro & today is the first time I tried to watch a movie in iTunes.  Purchased or rented movies will play.  I, too, only have a black screen with only the controls (rewind, pause, reading, etc) visible.  No chapters listed, just the cover of the movie at the top + names of administrators.  Was on the phone with Apple Care for 2 hours and they could not understand.

    When the Senior Adviser, I was speaking with iTunes contacted for credit, told him they were aware of the problem and working on it.  He said that there is a problem with some Macs, but not other Apple devices.

    Strange that iTunes would have not contacted Apple Care technical support to let them know about the issue.  Also, before I spoke with the Chief Adviser, I was talking with someone else to Apple Care, who had also made contact with iTunes to try to resolve the problem by return the video rental for me and it has not been said on the issue.

    It was about 3 hours ago.

    Advise senior said that she would send me a mail with my # case and contact information so I could follow, but she didn't.  She took my phone #, so if all goes well, she will call to let me know when the problem is solved (not holding my breath however).

  • Black screen when you try to start PowerPC G3 beige

    I have a vintage tour 1997 beige PowerPC with OS 9 (don't know which version, I think that the last of them he would go - 9.2.2?).  It has been sitting in the corner, turned off but plugged in for years (on a UPS protected against overvoltages with newer computer).  It was probably 2-3 years since the last power successful upward to retrieve something from him.  I am wanting to get data out of an old program on it, but can't get any view of it, just a black screen.

    Here's what I know about the material:

    Label says PowerPC G3 233 MHz, 512 K Cache, 32 MB / 4 G HD/24 x CD / 56K Modem, 17/02/98

    The memory may have been renovated years ago, there are 3 SIMMS inside.

    I use the video port built, with an adapter for the Apple Display Connector to VGA adapter which worked very well all the years I've used the computer.

    When I turn on, it is what is happening:

    I get the normal "chime".

    The monitor it is connected to the wake mode 'sleep'

    The display goes completely black - (no happy Mac, sad Mac or any Mac or gray screen)

    The monitor will never return "standby mode" until I have shut down the Mac (at least for 10-15 minutes I leave at the same time).  This makes me think that the port video is send something to the screen.

    • Here's what I've tried so far:
    • Tried 2 different monitors and cables, which has occurred on other computers (relatively modern flat screen LCD)
    • Replace the onboard battery
    • Zap the P - RAM
    • Reset the NVRAM by starting command-option-O-f and strike blindly
      • Reset-nvram (press enter/return)
      • Reset-all (News-enter/return) - at what point he restarted then assume that it took orders
    • Started with the space bar to see if the extensions manager would come to the top
    • Sitting SIMM memory (I remember when a memory SIMM went wrong after years, I'm a his 'breaking glass' at the start so I think the memory is OK?)

    The only things I can think to try are changing the ADC to VGA and put in a PCI video card.  Wikipedia lists a couple that were popular with this vintage Mac: ATI Radeon 7000 and 9200.  These will work without having to install drivers? It seems that http://www.amazon.com/ATI-Technologies-Radeon-7000-Graphics/dp/B0000630TB can be had pretty cheap, I don't know about the drivers.

    I have not tried booting from a cΘdΘrom, especially because I was not able to locate them.  I could watch more difficult if it is reasonable to expect a different result, but that seems to be a more fundamental question.  If there are any people with ideas vintage Mac, it would be greatly appreciated!

    The Amazon link you posted is for the PC of ATI Radeon 7000 version.  You need the Mac or PC version which took his chip EEPROM reprogramming with the Mac code.  Fifteen years ago, I bought eight of the sale to the retail-boxing, PC version Radeon 7000 s and flashed the ROM, for use in my beige G3s.  It took OS 9.2.2 support the latest drivers that allowed a 2D acceleration.  The Radeon 9200 Mac Edition is the final PCI graphics card that they marketed for Macs and would cost more and be more graphics card that you need, just to retrieve files from the G3.  You may be able to find a cheap, compatible Mac Radeon 7000 on ebay.  In fact, the older (Mac compatible) ATI Rage 128 PCI graphics of a B & W G3 (shown here) would be well suited to your needs.  When you zapped the PRAM, how many times have you let it go through the reboot cycle, while now pressed the keys "command + Option + P + R?  I usually gave it three.  You could try to remove the sound card 'personality' clean oxidation on the pins plated gold with a soft, white gum and reinstall.  This would be the case for modules of memory DIMMS and ROM card, which can also become oxidized over time.  If the Mac to VGA DB-15 you have a set of microswitches adjustable, the parameters of the (resolution) may be different for newer LCDs you've tried, especially if they have an image format widescreen.  "You can also consult the"failures of start-up list' on this page speed up your Mac G3 box. " "There was a problem with the first batch of voltage regulators used in the beige G3s, but I think they were passed to the VRM Raytheon in February 1998.  If "Raytheon" is printed on your VRM, you can probably exclude the problem.
