Error: "unable to start Windows XP" after recent updates

Original title: Windows XP blocked

Hello, I have 2 computers with Windows XP with SP2 and automatic updates. After the updates (17 June), two computers refuse to start. I get the message "Unable to start Windows XP" with different options to choose from, Mode without failure, last Configuration and boot Windows, but none of them works, he keeps just show this message even after trying in vain to restart. What can I do? Desperate enough now. Thank you.

Hi GatoJ,

    An in Windows 7 Startup Repair can solve the problem - give it a try.

    Try to use BCDEdit: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2676-bcdedit-how-use.html. You can modify the startup files to create a situation of dual boot (make sure that you use the existing boot files - be they on the Vista partition or partition Windows7).

    You can also use bootrec.exe to perform essentially the same thing: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/163304-dual-boot-using-free-partitioning-software.html.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot start windows more after Microsoft Update

    I have XP.  Once Microsoft installed a auto update July 16, I could no longer open Windows normally.  What did do? That's happened?  How can I return to my computer if can't open?  It seems that the computer doesn't send any signal to the video monitor so I can't enter all orders. Finally, I learned that I can open in Mode safe mode but not in normal mode... But I need a normal mode to access everything.

    Of "automatic update" are what kind you referring?  As you have acknowledged, XP should not be getting updates.  I also asked if you have an installation disc, and you did not.

  • Got the error saying that unable to start Windows. Now, it freezes after loading Windows.

    Original title: Windows Recovery Error Question

    Earlier I was looking at my computer, running a virus because my computer scan playing strange earlier. Every time I start Windows, I would be spammed with windows titles 'open with... '. ». I managed to open the Task Manager and get rid of all of them, but my computer shifted significantly again. Whenever I close it and restart the same thing would happen. I opened my virus scanner and started running it. Of course, he had a virus.

    As I was waiting for the analysis at the end, my computer suddenly closed and restarted without any warning at all. It froze on the splash screen. To stop and restart my computer again, I received a message that says:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If Windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem. If the power was interrupted during startup, choose Start Windows normally. »

    I was given two options: Launch Startup Repair (recommended) and start Windows normally. When I select the Startup Repair tool, I am taken to a screen with a loading bar that says "Windows is loading files... ». After loading, the screen would freeze. If I try the other option, I am taken to the splash screen and it would freeze.

    Is it possible to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • The following error during the installation of Windows: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    Help, please! Installing Windows Interrupted!

    Hi recently my computer was giving me a bit of concern for example (running slow, do not easily light etc...). A couple of days, my computer has decided not to put on after a glance on the net (on my other computer), I found I had a problem call KSoD or black screen of death, therefore I went on youtube and made all the different things said youtubers can fix this how ever none of these things worked, so finally I decided that I would have factory reset my computer/windows to using the system restore. However, at half way through the installation of windows after the factory reset (my computer came with no disk Windows), my computer has decided to remove what I believe to be called a blue screen of death, that this happened before and I thought it was part of the installation but when I turned my computer on he showed at the bios screen , but then it said 'unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click Next. "3 click on repair your computer ' all this is very well apart from the fact that I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm stuck at this screeni however have a disc of windows 7 and that he was going to install windows7 after I got my vista Setup! but the only I see is the bio screen so I was wondering if there was some way I could install windows 7 from the bios or simply delete the entire half installed this error files windows vista from the bios screen? Please, any help is greatly appreciated. Or get a new internal HDD would fix the problem aswell?

    Access your product download page and reinstall the software for bluetooth under networks:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?OS=2093 & LC = on & DLC = in & CC = US & Product = 3716846 & lang = in

    then, under network connections in the network and sharing window - see if you have a bluetooth adapter that is listed.  If you do not use bluetooth, you can turn it off or you should be able to set it up properly.

    If fails it then in Control Panel, under administrative tools, Services - locate service BTtray and disable it.
