• keyboard does not work when you start. Unable to get to the bios screen.

  When I reboot to get to the bios screen my keyboard does become functional until windows load. I don't remember what is a problem in the past, but since I disconnected everything recently I was wondering if it happens to be a USB port which remains hot during startup.  I have a Gigabyte motherboard.

  Thanks for all the help.  I found a port that remained hot during startup.  Not an easy feat because there are 6 USB ports on my MB.  Then after may restart to finally find, I remembered that I have also 2 USB ports on my Dell monitor that remain hot even when the computer is off.  A lesson I will never forget.

• Can't reinstall Vista. Because Vista will not get to the Setup screen.

  Hi people. Got a prob a little. Vista stopped booting the other night. So, I tried safe mode, and it hung on crcdisk.sys. So, I decided to get in shape. Problem is, it will boot from the DVD, but will not load / access the Setup screen (I waited for 7-8 minutes and nothing's happened, shows just the thing with the green bar).

  Not too sure if it's because the hard drive is 1 TB (but Vista was on the same front hdd with Windows 7). I tried to remove the 2 GB of ram (I use 4). No go. Tried another DVD rom, not go. Removed USB devices that have been connected. No go. I know that the DVD itself is fine. I tried on the other PC here, the installation screen came within 2-3 minutes. But his is not a 1 to (its 250 GB) the only DVD that will work / I install is the Windows 7 DVD.  So, how can I reinstall Vista?

  I deleted all partitions / recreated with the Win7 installation as well. Still couldn't get Vista to get to the Setup screen

  Any info appreciated

  Thank you

  Finally fixed it. I read that USB legacy can also cause this. So, I disabled it. Everything is good. Managed to get to the Setup screen, then reinstall Vista

• Cannot get into the bios of the start screen.

  Well I had run into trouble with my video card, and it had to be replaced. Before I do that but I was invited to try a system recovery to get rid of any possible program that was at the origin of defective symptoms of a video card.

  Well, I replaced the video card and everything has been fixed. But... because of the recovery of the system, some of my settings changed in Bios is returned back to default. I remember specifically in the Bios to disable the action keys (Fn + everything related F who did something).

  Problem is now I can't return to the Bios to change the settings once more.

  In order to dispel some of the suggestions more simple I tried already:

  Using another keyboard (allows me to enter the Setup program, reinstall system, diagnostics, etc. very well but not Bios)

  Unplug everything in the back, but the monitor and keyboard

  Erased from the memory CMOS, which led me to a screen saying that my Bios is set by default and to go to the configuration, press F10. But by pressing F10 led me to the single configuration screen and couldn't get into the BIOS.

  I carefully searched the internet to find answers for this problem, but I really hit a dead-end.

  I want to say I know that I've changed before setting on this computer it's just that I don't remember how. I mean I tried F1, F2, Del, Ctrl + Alt, and everything inbetween for shortcut keys enter the BIOS nothing helped.

  Thanks in advance for your reply eagerly to receive a response.

  Oh and I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5260f, if that helps anything.

  Well fiddle with stuff I have solved my problem. Thing, it's actually, I couldn't have what I wanted through the BIOS screen. I remember he made on my friends computer to get rid of it, where their BIOS had more options.

  As for anyone with my problem (hit accidentally the Fn and the sleep button) I recommend that to go in Control Panel Power Options - then select doing nothing to hit the Sleep button.

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello
  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Check this box!

• Pavilion P6-2378: Cannot get into the BIOS

  I've recently updated my BIOS to v8.19 on my motherboard of Jasmine using service pack SP67068 after seeing a security warning on my original BIOS on the HP driver update site.  After the update, I am unable to enter the BIOS and more!  I see more startup or other screen.  Here's what I've done so far:

  (1) I entered "bcdedit/set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" (and standard).  No splash screen.

  (2) I momentarily pressed and also pressed the ESC key during several start ups.  No splash screen.  When I press ESC after turning, the drive just stops.  To continue, I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to continue, and it starts Windows normally without a splash screen.

  (3) I went to change the settings of pc and navigated at startup in the UEFI Bios, but after the restart, but the computer crashes just until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then it boots normally into windows 8.0, but without the boot (legacy or HP splash) screen.

  (4) I opened the discount to zero the BIOS jumper and removed the battery for 5 minutes, several times.  No splash screen and press ESC or F10 after that reboot causes hang until you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

  I wouldn't have updated the BIOS if it is not for the security warning, as it worked very well. Now, I can't get into bios no more.  Help, please.

  Hello!  Yes, your right, it's the graphics driver!  But I had already updated just before I had this problem, so I rolled back the driver and still had the problem.  But then I realized that my TV is connected to the computer when I upgraded and downgraded the graphics driver.  I've updated the driver with the TV disconnected and VOILA, I see the spash screens and am able to get into the BIOS.  The graphic resolution of boot has been masking splash screens.  THANK YOU for your help.  I am very grateful.

• Tecra8000 - keys to get into the BIOS?

  Hi all, I am German, sorry for my English!

  I have a tecra8000 with win2000, but I lost my password, I'll install windows xp home edition now, how can I get into the bios. Wich keys must I push wen the computer is in boot mode?

  Thank you

  Leo

  Hi Thomas,

  The normal to access the BIOS path will be to press ESC then F1 during startup. This will give you the BIOS menu. Some laptops use ESC to show the progress of the POST and F2 to enter the BIOS menu.

  F8 will allow you to start in safe mode.

  F12 to select boot device (disk, CD, etc.).

• Yoga 2 Pro stuck on the BIOS screen

  Yesterday using my pro, I let the battery run completely. When I went to use the computer today, the computer is stuck on the white screen of lenovo.

  Computer will not configuration options or boot bios enter unless the hard drive is removed. I can run the computer without the pcei HDD when you use a disk external hard usb. Not really sure where to go fron here. I tried to remove the hard disk, booting from a flash drive, then reinstall the pcei reader, but it does appear quite Similarly when searching for it through the command prompt. Thinking I have a bad drive hard, but I am at a loss at the moment

  Yes, I'm guessing that the drive might be bad.

  Try the Secure Boot turn off/on or affecting in the UEFI/Legacy BIOS as well. It might allow you to start an external drive.

  Make sure that the boot order is set to an external start too.

  Hi gullo56,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.

  To help you better I would ask,

  a. If it functioned very well under Windows 7 before?

  ·         I suggest you to disable your firewall security software and check if you are able to play the game.

  From the link below, what I discovered is Microsoft Flight Simulator 3 is not completely compatible with Windows 7, but I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help troubleshoot your problem.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?type=software&s=combat%20flight%20simulator%203

  1. as Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 is supported by Microsoft Windows Vista to function normally, I suggest you run this program in Vista compatibility mode in Microsoft Windows 7.

  For information about how to run a program in an earlier version of Windows, visit the link below,

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  2. you can also try to reduce the hardware acceleration and check if it solves your problem,

  1. Click Start-> Control Panel-> appearance and personalization.

  2. under customization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

  3. in the display settings dialog box, click the Advanced Settings button.

  4. in the monitor Properties dialog box, click the Troubleshooting tab.

  5. click on the change settings button.

  6. in the Security dialog box, click on continue.

  7 move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

  8. click on OK.

  9. restart Windows.

  Hope this information helped you.

  Kind regards

  Help.

  I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

  I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

  I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

  Original title: given to nine Compaq 7700, BSoD, boot XP infinite loop, can't even get past the black screen, to enter Windows.

  I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

  Apparently, this driver is a printer driver? I don't have a printer, but do not know how to disable it without access to windows.

  I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

  My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

  I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

  Help! Before shipping the brand new...

  I thank you and have a wonderful new year.

  Howdy Daavee and Shekhar,

  I hope that your day is going well.

  It turns out that it was the hard drive, it was defective. The new unit arrived and it works beautifully. Thank you very much for all you help. I wish you a happy new year.

• Why does take so long to load from the time wherever I power up until it takes to get to the login screen? help taking too long

  Why does take so long to load from the time wherever I power up until it takes to get to the login screen? help taking too long

  You should take a look at your startup programs and decide what is really necessary and what is nothing more than useless clutter. There is nothing wrong with the startup programs, some may be really useful or even necessary for your personal needs. But keep in mind that many programs build to start when you start the computer and that most of them must not start when the computer starts, all they do is slow down your boot time and clutter of things when you're trying to solve problems, and some are downright harmful!

  I mean, have you really need things like real Planner and Gadwin Print Screen running all the time? These programs will run very well, even if they are not started automatically every time that you start the computer. Go to these programs and change/disable their boot option. Some may be difficult to kill for public assistance services can be useful when you try to control startup programs. Try CodeStuff Starter, it's safe and easy to use, I think you'll like it, download it here:

  http://CodeStuff.tripod.com/products_starter.html>

  Use AutoRuns to check axis start, Richard:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx>

  Use Cclenar-> tools-> start

  http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>

  I can't tell you what to keep, startup items it is a personal preference, but pretty well all the startup items indicated by CodeStuff Starter are safe to disable, and changes are easy to reverse if you change your mind. Searches for items it shows you and decide whether or not these things are really useful or necessary. Some programs will be started at startup without your knowledge and over time, that list can expand to include useless parasites, part of good computer maintenance includes regular control of these startup items and the removal of the unnecessary.

  Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

  I. - delete your temporary files

  Clean the system (compensation to all temp/tmp folders and included all the content offline, the tif browser, delete the cookies of compensation.)

  Do a disk cleanup. Click the Start button. in the search box, type disk cleanupand then in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup. Better and easier to use - ccleaner.

  Download the basic version (slim) via

  http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner/builds>

  The basic version (slim) does not contain the toolbar disgusted

  DO NOT USE ANY cleaning of the advanced options. DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY OR TOOLS. At least not for now.

  Reset

  II. - have your system scanned as a result of security/antivirus installed.

  III. - download, install, update and run both of these tools to a-squared free scans:
