Computer will not start after the installation of Windows Vista SP2

After downloding and installing Windows Vista SP2 on ACER laptop for my daughter, I can no longer start the computer.  Initially registered startup C:\\Windows\System32\drivers\ecache.sys as corrupt file repair.  Change BIOS to boot first from the optical drive and the departure of computer with Vista DVD in the drive, I accepted the option repair.  No chance that the machine always fails to start and always displays the window "Statup repair."  Auto repair is always unsuccessful.  Repair suggestions will be appreciated.  Thank you.  Bob G.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Computer will not start after the installation of Kaspersky, will not even go into safe mode

    I tried to install Kaspersky on my laptop this morning to roll some viruses on my computer. After you restart during the installation, I got the blue screen of death with a STOP 0x000000F4 error code. I can't use my phone at all now, and it will not work in SafeMode either. I tried to restore the computer to before that Kaspersky was installed but it cannot do so. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration, but that did not work. I have no idea what to do now. My laptop is basically useless now and I am very angry.

    If I have the Kaspersky disk in I kind of access Kaspersky, and it keeps telling me it is obsolete and must be updated, but it will not be updated. Also, it tries to mount the drives or something and gets stuck trying to create the swap file. I don't know if it's important, but I'll post it anyway.
    I'm at a loss to know what to do...

    If you have tried to install an AV program after your PC has been infected you left it too late.

    Your safest option is to use your recovery discs to get destructive if you plant (make sure that the external devices are disconnected during this process)

    I hope that you, the data has been saved you will lose everything on the PC

    Once recovered allow windows update to do its thing for Important updates ONLY. It may take several reboots.

    If any update fails cure this problem before doing anything else.

    Once the update finished visit of manufacturers of laptop for important driver updates to update necessary.

    Only after this has been done, you should start installing software or external devices.

    If an installation fails, solve this problem before

  • Gateway 7330gz does not start after the installation of Windows XP SP2

    Gateway 7330gz had a hard drive failure, so installed new hard drive (160 GB drive), file a copy of XP Pro, starts without a problem, pulled down to XP SP2, saved on hard drive, run SP2, and it installs without warning and restarts.

    Then goes into loop.  Download the gateway splash screen, The Win XP logo comes up and the progress bar is on 2-3 loops - gateway splash screen, repeat... If I F8 for boot menu selections, I can do a safeboot with networking.

    I reformatted and reinstalled XP added once again, all the appropriate drivers I can find to remove yellow? in the Manager list of device without change.

    There are only XP Pro on the machine when I start - absolutely no other software package has been installed, no external devices are connected.

    My plan was to drop XP Pro, SP2, and SP3, (updated IE along the way) and add MS Security Essentials. Then pick up all the other patches since SP3 before you add any other software.

    Thoughts on why the boot failure after installation of SP2?

    Solution found

    In BIOS advanced together to the top was an option called INTEL speed step

    Disabled the option and restarted in SP2 with no problems.

    Adding SP3, MS Security Essentials with no other problems...

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Z600: computer does not start after the installation of the 5 TB SATA drive

    My computer does not start on my hard drive after installation of my new printer MFP M127FW unless I have first of all disconnect the USB cable between the printer and then turn on the computer.  My BIOS is set to boot from my drive hard, not from a USB key, so that makes installing the drivers M127FW MFP and software do on my computer?  I guess it has something to do with the Smart Install feature.

    "On the printer, press Setup, maintenance, Smart Install and stop."

    It worked.  Thank you.

  • I have two Toshiba laptops, and both died after the installation of Windows Vista SP2

    I have two Toshiba laptops, and both died after the installation of the Windows Vista SP2 (home edition).
    Now, it does not... even not start BIOS... Try to boot from the CD, no luck. When WVista SP2 installed and restarted, after a while, he came to the flashing message: 0xC0190036 1183/62494...

    I can't help that if it does not start even. I don't have a CD WVista. Both laptop came pre-installed. In addition, no rescue CD.

    Any help will be appreciated. I really need help.
    Thank you.

    Well, try this:

    1. If the power is off.
    2. Start the laptop and keep press F8
    3. then select restore.

  • computer does not start after the installation of updates

    Just click on the button "installs the update and the computer shuts down."  When the computer turns off automatically, I pushed the power button and now it is frozen the computer in start mode.  What should I do now?  Can I power off and try again (or which will mess up the configuration of the update that he just installed.

    Note: There are 21 updates installed last night without problem; then 1 update again (that set up correctly when I restarted this morning).  After a successful this morning launch, I noticed there was an another update to install, which is what made me at this point.

    Single computer at home (I use my work computer to submit this application).

    Wait awhile and see if, during the initialization of the problem to be solved or not. It is NOT a good idea to unplug the laptop.

    If this does not work, then try to press F8 and choose last known good configration, but you may need to reinstall the update again.

  • Re: Vista will not start after the installation of update

    About 2 days ago I updated 2 Optional updates through windows update. It was - Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
    and somethind to do with sound hdmi (don't know why I got this update ' cos I do not have a hdmi and I accidentally installed it as well).
    After that installs Vista won't start so I did a restore of the system in safe mode, and she came back to life, however, isn't in better shape, will probably not not to install Vista all over again.
    So be careful when you install these updates.

    It's weird that they came with windows update. As much I know usually windows update does not update if not needed harddrivers...

    You need to update your hardware drivers from the Drivers Toshiba download site and not from Windows update because no one knows if they interfere with the drivers of Toshiba.

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Computer does not start after the installation of Win XP SP3

    original title: ServicePack 3 does not work

    After loading service pack 3 my computer does not upwards, unless I use safe mode. It restores not to any restore point. I uninstall and go back to service pack two and get constant reminders to update three when it won't work. After saying it works fine if a little slow in two so is there any point of update.

    Recently, I reset my computer to factory settings to erase the disc from loads of unwanted waste and programs. Reloaded ServicePack two, he wouldn't go back with gel. After reading the old posts, I found a link to Jespers blog. It contained a small tool that intelPPM problems detected and then given the option to turn off the setting. http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx.

    This fixes the problem and service pack three charges and now works fine. The tool is loaded in seconds.

  • Latitude E5510 not start after the installation of Windows 7 64 bit

    Hey all,.

    Recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my brother's cell phone to try to update to Vista. The installation went well, but when he tries to restart for the first time, the screen remains empty without having to start. I tried to format the drive and try again and still nothing.

    No idea what it could be?

    Silas

    Hi Silas,

    My apologies for the late reply.

    You can check the SATA operations in the system BIOS. Move operations SATA AHCI to ATA or vice versa, as shown in the image below:

    Also be sure to remove all external devices connected to your computer and remove the SD card in it if connected.

    See if it makes a difference.

  • Bluetooth doesn't work does not correctly after the installation of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 (SP2) on Dell laptop

    I searched this forum and almost all resources on the net for days now nothing works.  Give the message to a thread more appropriate that I couldn't find one that is truly representative and am a newb at this.

    Summary of the problem: Bluetooth connectivity does not work properly after the window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 installation (SP 1 and 2).

    My system:

    Laptop Dell Inspiron E1705, 32-bit Winows Vista Home Premium SP2, Dell Wireless Bluetooth 355 Module + EDR 2.0

    * My system was purchased in 2006 with Windows XP, but was not entitled to a free Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade I did. I installed Windows Service Pack 1 and 2 about a week ago.

    Problem: After downloading and installing the Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 (SP 1 and 2), my system does not recognize my Bluetooth (a touch of Sprint also) device known as the HTC Vogue.  I stress that I have not had any problems with this device before downloads.  I can't revert to the pre - SP State 1 and 2 because my system restore does not have these points more.

    I have read several posts on various sites about people having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity after the Vista SP 1 and 2 facilities.  The problem is obviously the need for an updated driver.  I went to the site to download driver Dell and the Blueooth only updates available are the following. (Note: these drivers all date from 2006 and 2007).

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=pub&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_9400&os=WLH&osl=en&servicetag=&catid=-1&impid=-1&deviceid=12084&libid=5&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&releaseid=R159805&formatcnt=1&vercnt=1

    I had these installed before the SP 1 and 2 have been installed and they worked very well. After the upgrade, these drivers do not work.  They won't recognise BT devices.  I tried to upgrade the drivers by using update Broadcom suggested below it, but an error of following installation to contact Dell.

    http://www.Broadcom.com/support/Bluetooth/update.php

    I contacted Dell via e-mail and on the phone, but they want to charge me $60 for a one time service call just to talk about the problem because my warranty has expired. Provide updated drivers is not a problem of security in my opinion.  Even after explaining the situation, their continuous support to just send me the link to download Driver Dell above with out-of-date drivers.  I guess that's what they are charged to do, they do not have to admit a problem of compatibility.  This obviously the same link they would charge $60 to send.  I explained that I need just a Bluetooth Driver from Dell to at least version 6.3.   Needless to say, I will never buy another Dell product.

    On my end, I tried to uninstall my current drivers and then by installing a newer driver to support Gateway (Version 6.2.1.500 for and Acer).  This allows me to install some parts of this update and the update Broadcom. However, it is not a perfect installation and expires after about 90% saying "this update is not for this system" because it is the gateway not Dell to be provided.  Displays the version of the driver on my computer is Version 6.3.5.430 after doing this, but it is not a complete installation and some features are not available.

    Does anyone have experience with this issue? I would like to have a link with some bluetooth drivers generic Version 6.3 type which will allow me to use the Broadcom link to upgrade to the last version that works with Vista SP 1 and 2.

    Thank you for your help.
