My office is a blank screen, only black.  I have Avast and Spyware Doc protection against viruses and having the most recent analysis of virus, that's what I get.  Help, please.

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

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 the above does not it, make a repair disc to start on another computer and use it on the failed computer:

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.

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.

See you soon.

    Hello mcbethtings:

    Welcome to Hp forum. Your question is not in the list. http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=56801&tmp_task=solveCategory&CC=UK&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=4100044 So, in this case I sujest a restore back to remove what are the mistakes caused by a bad AVG update. GoTo all programs search and type in Recovery Manager click that above and open it. Click Yes (white box) so it apears. Select Microsoft System Restore Click next to three windows now you will see a list of dates, select a date prior to the installation of the update, then click. Let the computer do its restoration. Once done see if your problem is solved, if so try the update again, make you that the update is for 64-bit Windows 7 computers before you download it again. If that happens again once you know what AVG is not compatible for your computer.

    Probably you have only received part of the witch update caused this problem due to the disruption of atmospheres. Sometimes this happens. Put day of my HP only made once. I just did a restore back and downloaded the update again and the second time through work. Please click on Bravo if this solves your problem. Thank you frrw.

  • Satellite L10-192: Video Out (TV screen is black and white)

    Hello

    I recently bought a new notebook Satellite L10-192, and I have trouble with the video out of service.

    The image on the TV screen is black and white. I have read and followed the instructions of the manual (indicate the video mode PAL B, etc.), but it is always black and white.

    I have Win XP Pro without Service Pack.

    Anyone has any advice on this problem? Can I change the resolution or color depth or install Service Packs? Or a Toshiba from the factory CD utility?

    Thanks in advance,

    Zoltan

    Hello

    In my opinion, your settings on the laptop are right but please check your TV also. I put t know if your TV is a S-video port or you use a S-video adapter. Please check menu TV. Maybe it's for S-video option in the port.

    If the TV doesn't have a S-video port, you can connect your unit as follows:
    (1) SVID-adapter that brings back the color! It works with any device with an s-video signal through a plug 4-pin or 7-pin. http://www.s-vid.de/images/SVID.gif
    (2) SCART - / adapter S-video http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/366/1142//8aa0b1bbaf6020c785221873b2a985bd

  • Size very large, even though it is only black and white

    Hello!

    I have a small question. I m of the Germany, I hope that you understand what I mean.

    Is it normal that the size of the image is very large, even if it's only a black and white image?

    I created an image with the 1920 x 1080 for my Web site. I created two variants.

    Alternative B is the one that I want to use. I created the A Variation to test, if the size is smaller.

    Here you can see that:

    http://content.screencast.com/users/Heizpad/folders/default/media/16151f15-C38F-47a4-a3ac-73e8793d2773/big%20Size.jpg

    Isn´t it's very strange, as the picture on the side left (alternative A) is lower, although it is one that has a lot more detail?

    Alternative B is only black and white with the black/white-filter?

    Can you give me an answer please, why the size is so important?

    Thank you! Best regards!

    -Max

    Yes, it's what I wanted.

    If you want to make the file smaller, try file > save for Web as a jpg file and explore the options.

    Be aware of the change in quality that you reduce the size of the file

  • Photosmart 8450 prints only black and white with the new Mac with OS 10.6

    I just bought a new Mac with OS 10.6.  (former was OS 10.5)  Now my Photosmart 8450 will print only in black and white.  I installed the single upgrade on the site of HP, no change.

    Is there an other update I need?

    You want to disable automatic session opening, which may be why it behaves in this way.

    Go to System Preferences

    Go to security

    Under "for all accounts on this computer", place a check mark next to 'turn off automatic connection.

    In addition, I do not know if you set a password for the test account, but put something simple as 123 - just something / anything.

    Once that is done, choose log in the Apple menu, or reboot. This should bring you to the login screen where you can specify the account to enter.

  • printing color when you ask only black and white

    On my Deskjet 6500 all in one, I select black and white only when I print web pages, but it still prints in color.  The screen it displays in black and white, but on paper, it has color.  I use Google Chrome and maybe that's the problem, but I have no idea.

    jvias,

    You try to print in black and white all the time?

    If so, when you mention the screen to print in Google Chrome, down inside your should see 'print by using the system dialog box... '. (Ctrl + Shift + P) ». What to choose.

    When the next screen appears, make sure that your printer is selected and press the button "Preferences".

    On the next screen, it should open in the tab "layout". Then, press the 'Advanced' button and you will see an option there "print in grayscale". She should be currently disabled, but if you turn it on, it should print in black only.

    On the other hand, it sounds like it could be a problem with Google Chrome. Have you tried it in another browser and got the same result?

  • E HP Print prints only black and white

    I print from an iPad on a printer Hp 5520, using print e. Hp previously was no problem until recently, it has now stopped printing in color and will be only only printing in black and white.
    If I print using the print on the iPad icon, I am still able to print in color, but I want to use the additional settings available in e print.
    I suspect that it may be to do with my an update of e print or IOS download

    I would appreciate any advice please.

    Hello R0dder5,

    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you do not want to be able to print using all options available in the HP ePrint app for your iPad.

    I'm sure that you already have, but my first suggestion is to check the settings in the HP ePrint app to ensure that it did not retain the setting.   If you choose the color setting is always print in black and white?  If so, please try to uninstall and reinstall the application.  You will have to start the activation process.  I've included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document.  There the steps to uninstall the app, if you need it.

    Please let me know what happens.

  • 46HL900A - only black and white photo using Media Reader

    Hi all

    I recently bought a built-in digital LCD TVs from Toshiba model 46HL900A.

    I join a Western Digital (WD) TV Live Media Reader with the correct component input terminals. I know because I can see and play pictures, movies, etc. that can be found on the external hard drive that is attached to the WD.

    My problem is that it will only play/show in black and white.

    I tested the WD on another TV, and it works perfectly in color. I was told is not the working document, but that the TV might need to be set to recognize the resolution or something.

    I have been through the manual, but I don't really know what to change.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I found your Toshiba page Australian TV:
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/televisions/led-backlit-TV/hl900a/46hl900a/specifications

    The TV supports color modes different system: PAL 50 / 60 Hz, SECAM and NTSC
    I guess that your TV is set to SECAM. Then try changing the NTSC settings

    Manual of use, you should find the description how to do this.

    It s not a laptop malfunction but the TV setting wrong. Some TV units have the option to turn on the S-VHS. If your TV doesn't support that you can use an a Cinch cable to connect the laptop to the TV.

    The workflow default scanning set up to scan documents in black and white. Be sure to change the settings for scanning to scan color documents:

    If your version of OS X 10.7, be sure to install the critical update below. Skip this step for any other version of OS X.
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/MP-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg

    Now change the settings of the device as follows:
    1 open the HP utility and select your device.
    2. based on Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. click on the tab scan tasks.
    4. Select the affected shortcut and click on change... (or double-click on the shortcut).
    5. in the section of scanning from an HP device, click the blue triangle to expand the menu.
    6. in the expanded menu now, open the drop-down next to the Mode
    7. now select the color option, and then click OK to save the changes. The next scanned using this workflow is displayed in color.
