• Computer turns on but will not make it to the homepage

  I had a Toshiba A135 running windows Vista Basic. When I turn on my laptop, the toshiba screen comes up as usual, but then the Windows error recovery Page comes up with the oif options safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally, ect... I tried these guests and no matter what happens, it ends at stage 1. Help, please

  Restore point:

  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.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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 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.

• Computer turned on but does not

  I have a desktop running Windows XP Pro SP3 that is constantly lit. My screen saver is set to off after being idle for 20 minutes.  Opportunity (maybe once a week) when returning to the computer, it it will activate.  Moving the mouse, punching keys... all else fails to access the computer.  I loaded a CD to the hard drive and still nothing.  The only option is to shut down the computer using the power button which I realize isn't the best approach, but it is the only option to activate the computer.  I can't explain the cause.  The computer is protected by anti virus protection anti-spyware with firewall active and online.  To my knowledge there is nothing malicious on the computer which can be confusing service.  If anyone has experienced this problem or knows what is the cause of the problem?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hi RaeButts,

  ·         You have the latest graphics drivers installed?

  A lot of standby and hibernation problems can be attributed to graphics cards. A simple driver update might get hibernation works again.

  Method 1: Check if you have the latest display and video drivers. Log on to the computer manufacturer website and look for the same thing.

  Method 2: Make sure your device is authorised to the computer.

   

  a. open the keyboard Control Panel item, as described in method 1.

  b. click on the hardware tab, and then click Properties.

  c. click the Edit settings button

  Note This step requires administrator access

  d. click the power management tab and check that allow it this device to wake the computer is turned on.

  e. click OK, and then click OK again. Do the same for the mouse and other pointing devices.

  Method 3: An update of the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) could also resolve the issue. Check the website of your system provider to see if one is available.

  Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

• Satellite A500-148 turns on but does not start

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A500-148 from a friend who asked me to take a peek, it turns on, but does boot when I press the following power button occurs:
  -The power button and the charger are on and the hdd led only flashes once
  -The fan comes on for about 3 seconds
  -No image on the screen, I indicated a light against it, but there is really no image

  Tried to reset by pressing the button for 30 seconds without the changer is plugged.

  I disassembled it and noticed that this laptop has an external video card, so my question is, who's broken the video card or the motherboard.

  Thank you

  To be honest I don't understand this with an external video card. Can you describe how you mean exactly?
  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis. You can try the little test and remove this external adapter, RAM and HARD disk, and try to start again.

  Ask your friend if he had something that may be responsible for this.

  One last thing: laptop stays in r might have turned off after a certain time?

• Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn on power

  original title: windows Defender

  These days have a lot of problems with my laptop.  Problems with starting.  I need to access windows defender to modify startup programs.  It is said that Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn it on.  In addition, different problems with different users and accounts by the office put in place, it looks like all my users are running different versions of windows, so I don't know where to start with all the problems.  Security sounded like a good place 2 start, so I guess I'll start by Defender problems.  (I have recently downloaded the free security essentials, safety signs so all green lights).

• Hibernation problems - my computer turns off but it restarts immediately.

  I am running Windows Vista Home basic with Service Pack 2.

  Recently, I used a disc clean up program which seems to affect hibernation. My computer turns off but it restarts immediately. I went to the command prompt as administrator and checked what is available - S3 - and that you typed in "powercfg / hibernate on ' but it will not always 'down'." I cut and restarted, but still no improvement. Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, how to solve it?

• My computer guard direct me to the Windows Startup Repair loop. Is this a virus? If this is not the case, what should I do?

  OK, here's a little history:
  When was surfing the Internet (using Mozilla Firefox), he froze and said that he "did not." Then I left the computer alone for a good 15 minutes, but to realize that nothing happened. From there, I decided to disconnect the computer to see if I can re - open Firefox. But when I tried to connect it back, the computer take me on the desk. It was stuck at the screen that says 'Welcome' (the form that appears after clicking on your user name) in the end, I turned off the computer by holding the power button, because there was nothing I could do. When I turned on the computer a few minutes later, it was time that I met a huge problem.

  The problem:
  When I turned it back on, a black screen appears that gives you the ability to boot your system with a repair on your computer, or start normally. I chose "start normally. After that, it took me a blue screen with a window that says "Startup Repair". He began to scan the computer saying «attempted repairs...» "When I saw this, I turned immediately shut down the computer, thinking it was some sort of virus that pretends to fix the computer. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on for the second time. Of course, it's the same thing. But this time, I allow the scanning process to complete. When it was over, he said that the system could not be repaired and advised me to contact Microsoft, with my "contact information." I took this as a red flag, and click Cancel. I suspected it was an attempt to identity theft. (Though, I could be wrong, of course.)

  Honestly, I don't know if if there is indeed something wrong with the computer or if it's a virus.

  I tried to find out by going online and looking for solutions. From there, I tried a method where you press F8 several times until the Advanced Boot Options go up and selected "Last known Configuration" that did not work. I also heard on the "chkdsk" method, but I don't know how to do and there is no guarantee this will work.

  After that, I did more research and realized there were several ways to solve this problem. But when I went through the tutorials, the steps have been very confusing to me. I felt like most of these tutorials aimed computer technicians or people who knew in fixing computers. The steps were so confused until I found myself referring more questions than real answers!

  So now I'm reaching out to help, and I really need! It would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to format all my data.

  Please keep in mind that I am a lover of computers operating. The two programs I normally use are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Word. So please don't be assuming that I know my way in and out of a computer. I'm no where near, in every sense of the term, an 'Expert '. If you can, I would like a simple, easy to follow, simple tutorial, step by step, which is not turned to professional users. Still, I am not very competent in operating computers.

  Hi mgm842,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. you receive messages or error codes?

  You can try to run a scan online and check.

  Step 1:

  You can check out the following link and try to download the Microsoft Safety Scanner and perform a full scan on your computer and check.

  Note: When you perform the analysis, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup of important data before performing analysis.

  Check out the link:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Step 2:

  If you are still facing problems then try creating a new user account and check if the problem occurs:

  Create a user account
