delay after typing my password with the message: "preparing your desktop" displayed on the login screen

I use Windows Vista for about 3 years now, it has been hurt on the first day.  However, it is the biggest problem I've ever known.

My PC is currently the entire installation, which means that all the software, drivers and personal settings are applied to the way I would like it. But lately, I have had opportunities indicate that loggin, there was a long delay, after typing my password with the message: "preparing your desktop" displayed on the login screen (the PC was night shotdown, not having changed anything to the system), then I am connected to a desktop where I lost all my custom settings : wallpapers, plans, location of the updated table on the page icon, were all gone as if I start Windows for the first time, and every program I tried to run from there thought while they started upward for the first time.

My office, I know, has completely disappeared.   How can I get it back?  Where at - it go?

I am a school teacher and my student missions, etc. are in the files on the desktop.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Please keep in mind that I'm not a techno person and very little familiar with several computer attributes.

Thank you

  • I can't enter my password in the login screen.

    I can't enter my password in the login screen. The screen freezes when I start typing and I have to restart in safe mode. Then I restart the computer and then I can type my password to connect. This problem started probably by itself after a windows update. In the case of an account without password, the computer hangs after some time. I am using windows 7 Home premium.

    Since you can get in Mode safe, do a system restore when things worked. Then, if you feel really done a Windows Update, set Windows Update installs do not automatically, but you when updates are available. Then look at each update and install them one at a time, testing after each installation.

    Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • L540: password accepted anywhere but the login screen

    Hello!

    I was happily using the sensor of fingerprint on my L540 for awhile, until what a few months ago, I reinstalled Windows 7 (Professional, x 64). After setting up everything, and by installing drivers Lenovo, I noticed this problem:

    When I start the laptop and you type the password, it will accept it.* but if I open the dialog to change, Windows will claim that the password that I type is wrong. I tried several times, also copy - paste where she had changed the layout of the keyboard, but just, he does not accept the password that works on the logon screen.
    The same thing happens when I close the laptop and it goes into sleep mode, and then I try to connect again. In this case the only thing that helps is to extinguish completely the laptop and restart.

    For a while it would not also accept the password on the login screen * front * password indication was shown. Of course maybe I just typed it, but it happened very regularly for 1-2 weeks or more. At one point that specific question came not, without changing me anything.

    In short, I can't set up the fingerprint sensor because I have to type the password, and I can't change it to something easier. This particular password wasn't supposed to be typed much. I trusted that the fingerprint sensor would work.

    I thought that it might be caused by one of the drivers, given that the problem started happening immediately, but only a few days after that I want to install Windows. (My memory is a bit blurry, sorry).
    Then I threw most of the drivers I downloaded manually (especially the keyboard driver and fingerprints) and installed a package that installs drivers automatically, but that has not changed anything.

    I have no idea if this would be a problem of Lenovo or a Windows problem. Can you give me an idea where to go with this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Easiest thing would be just to use the new account. But what about the why, that's happened, I don't really know why. =/

  • Media files went after login (preparing your desktop)

    On our desktop, we have important documents and family photos that were just lost today when we need to connect top and we got the message preparing your desktop. Now every time that connect us to that account, it gives this message. Wallpaper has disappeared, and the documents and a multitude of images/pretty much everything we did. The programs are always there. Is it possible to recover these lost files?

    "Preparing your desktop" indicates that the connection is considered to be a completely new user with his own user profile. Normally, this happens because the user profile is corrupted and cannot be loaded, it is rarely individual files, but is instead the hive of the registry of the user.

    When this happens, Windows creates a temporary user profile which is deleted when you close the session, but if nothing is done to solve the problem creates another temporary profile the next time.

    Try to run a restore point prior to the question that arises to see if he can recover a hive of work. Alternatively, you can try to create another user with administrator privileges and check the C:\Users folder to the directory of the profile user "lost". All missing files should still be there.

    Use this class as a small reminder that you need to do regular backups, in this case, the files should be retrievable. It may not always be the case.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB torch: call the cuts after every 1 hour with the error message: forbidden outgoing calls (8 CC)... .plz help

    The flame of my BB, cutting its call after every 1 hour with the error message: forbidden outgoing calls (8 CC). except the active calls, isn't she the netwrk...?

    Hey pemba.

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    I would first check to see if you are using the latest version of the software of your network service provider.  Go to www.blackberry.com/update or open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  If the software is up to date, I would check with your provider network for more investigations.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    See you soon.

  • El Capitan 10.11.2 disconnects from the network of Canon printer macbook pro after each use but with the same OS version iMac remains connected

    How to prevent my Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.2 going to disconnect my network printer Canon?   My iMac running the same OS version don't unplug and behaves like any normal wireless connection.  I deleted the printer and added back, reset printing, etc. nothing works.  Given that the Mac is 6 "each other and 5 feet of printer during the last test, it must be something specific to the Macbook.  The Macbook identifies the printer after each reboot the printer as printer Canon right, but once the task is completed does not have the printer.  Everything is on the same wireless network. Computer Windows also recognizes the printer and it keeps alive after printing.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • After that windows update computer now hangs at the login screen, no error message, just restarts.

    I have tried safe mode, does the same thing; tried to use the Windows Vista disc to do a repair, no luck; also I tried restoring the system (from disk), no restore points however.
    The problem appeared after restarting the computer during the night.  The problem began to be able to connect, but the screen would go blank with just a pointer (KSOD).  Has tried some of the suggestions on this problem, including by eliminating sys newspapers, which did not work as well as reinstalling the video driver, with no luck.  Finally tried a system restore, returned 1 week (before the windows updates).  Now, the computer becomes just the login screen sits there for about 5-10 seconds then restarts immediately.

    I just had this happen to my laptop that has no external references. This is a new (September 09) ASUS K50ij with Vista 64-bit installed. I bought the Win 7 OS to replace, but have been waiting for the time to play with it... Last Monday, the update itself and invited to restart so I have done what I was busy with and enabled him to restart which is the only thing to do now... restart, the blue screen for a nano-second, then restart... etc. Same problem with safe mode and safe mode with networking, or with the box... anyway, someone very smart recommended that I use another computer (Fortunately, I have several) to download free Imgburn (which works easily), then get Ubuntu (Linux Operating System free download) burn image from the Ubuntu disc, put the disc in the drive of the computer crashed (there is a little hole next to the button you) can insert in a safety pin to release the door when the power is off) change the setting in the BIOS of the computer has crashed by restarting and pressing F2 until you get the menu BIOS... go to the start menu and choose Start from the CD, and then press ENTER. When the computer starts, it will see the drive and go to a menu to select the language, then next choice is "try Ubuntu without making any changes to the computer. It will boot the disk and allow you to view and copy ALL your files off the power on an external drive, which is what I did... including my Outlook .pst files that include all my saved emails my calendar and contacts, etc! WOOHOO! has got all my photos, documents, etc. The only thing that I didn't know how to get is my favorite... How to enter in the browser from another computer.

    If after this, an hour or more than make sure I got all the important data... I decided to see if anyone had a solution to this problem just fixing... I probably won't update again because Microsoft sends them and offers no solutions to the problems they have caused and nobody pays me for all the time I've lost get to get my stuff back and also to solve the problem they have caused. A update on my other laptop Win 7 zapped my outlook program and even reinstall it didn't solve this problem, even more work to do there, but looking in the files using Ubuntu's File Explorer, I found a hidden file that is used to repair the files .pst outlook called scanpst, or something that nearby.

    In any case, if someone has a solution to uninstall the recent update or to determine how it corrupted my user profile (which is the general consensus) please let me know.
    Thank you and good luck to you!

It happened after doing some tinkering with the registry of Windows Media Player files (but I made sure to return to the default options once I'm done and I have also provided a backup copy) since it generates random album art files and I am looking for a way to stop him. I also deleted the files Windows Media Library (wmdb). I don't know if this has nothing to do with the BSOD.
