• Failed to start windows recovery

  Compaq cq56-115dx. This is my sencond attempt to try to do a system restore with the HP recovery discs, I just got. Recovery starts with a message "loading files". Then, I get a message "starting windows." And, that's all. Two hours later the windows icon is always on the screen and nothing else happens. I tried several times and each time it hangs on the windows splash screen. For information on the first original attempt to perform the recovery, I was actually quite successful and made it through all three discs. I got a message to restart the computer to complete the installation. When I did the reboot I got an error message that windows cannot restart and I needed to redo the installation. I don't remember the exact wording. I guess I could have gotten a bad file or something and frustrated to lose several hours, I started the second recovery attempt. Now, as mentioned, I'm just hung up on the 'starting windows' screen Before the takeover, the computer was running. Now it won't start, message "windows couldn't start.

  I removed the battery and unplugged the computer for about 5 minutes. Tried recovery, and it does not work as it should now. Not sure why it works now, but he did.  I tried at least six times before that, and he continued to cling on the gray screen.

• Failed to start Windows Media Player - Version problem

  Hi all

  When I try to start Windows Media Player, I get the following error:

  the wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.18526 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected

  I used WMP on this machine before with no problems, probably most recently about a month ago. I have automatic updates on so I don't know exactly when this problem started. I tried to uninstall/reinstall WMP, but this has not led to no success.

  Here, any help would be great.

  Thank you

• The initialization of the swap file to virtual disk periodically (40% of the time +/-) fails to start Windows

  Greetings-

  For the past year or so I put my Windows 7 32-bit, 8 GB RAM system to initialize the page automatically on a virtual disk file (in order to reduce the physical disk reads/writes and to speed up the access to the page files).

  Here's how I set up: I installed Dataram Ramdisk and configured to use memory beyond 4 GB (which, as everyone here knows, 32-bit Windows can not otherwise use) as the ramdisk.  In setting up manually formatted the 4 GB unallocated space virtual drive as an NTFS volume and it gave the letter a: (what else!). Then I got the software save an image file of the ramdisk formatted my hard drive F:. Additional configuration of the software wants to initialize the virtual disk to start and immediately copy the image file to the virtual disk, thus creating a 4 GB NTFS formatted volume a:. (Incidentally, I also use the virtual disk to the cache of the browser and the print spooler). The theory here is flawless. But to make it work in practice, the virtual disk must be initialized and the image file copied into ramdisk (making it a formatted disk R :) front Windows initializes the pagefile.

  It runs about 60% of the time, but for the remaining 40 percent Windows gives an error message indicating that Windows has created the page file in a temporary location (it's always the C: drive, the pagefile in general where default.). The only reasonable explanation I see why it fails is that, for nearly 40% of my computer boots window wants to initialize the page file before the ramdisk is ready to receive. What I don't understand is why that happens.

  This happen to my main question: is it possible to control the Windows boot sequence so that the ramdisk is initialized and the filename of the image copied to him on a basis consistent before Windows wants to initialize the page file? Operationally, I guess it boils down to whether it is possible, during each startup sequence, to delay initialization of the page files or to move the virtual boot record earlier in the sequence. If so, how to do that? If not, can someone explain why the order of the respective boots usually works, but does not reach a good amount as well?

  Ideas on this would be appreciated.

  Create a small paging file to 20 MB on the boot volume (the partition where the Windows files are installed) this way the session manager will be able to start the Windows session and create additional paging files without complaining.  You can have more than one paging on several disks, Windows will favour the less busy the disk paging file.

• Failed to start Windows XP on Sat A30

  Have a problem starting with my A30 failure. None of the options that is safe mode, the last working format try again, etc. work and PC just goes in a loop to set up the screen. I try to reinstall Windows XP using the recovery disk, but that means losing all the data on the disc.
  Any suggestions on how to restart/reinstall without wiping data?

  Hello

  If possible, try to connect the HARD drive to the other PC as another external and copy any important data. It is perhaps not the best solution, but if the HARD disk has two partitions and data are saved on the second one you can pick up the device and install the operating system on the first. The other will remain as before.

• Failed to start Windows 7 - color blocks fill screen. Frozen system.

  At the start of my system Windows 7 displays a screen full of colored blocks superimposed with random characters.  That's all that is displayed.  There is no message.  The system does not meet another entry.  I would be grateful for any feedback.  Thank you.

  Dell desktop

  Seems to be a hardware failure, more specifically your graphics card.

  (1) turn off the computer, open the case and check that the graphics card is in place (not bad).

  (2) if the graphics card has a power cable to the back of the card, it must be well inserted.

  (3) you can try to remove and reinsert the card the motherboard if steps 1 or 2 provide no solution.

  After return your results.

• Tecra A9 fails to start because of system file is missing

  Hello
  I bought tecra 1 month and now I can't open my laptop

  It has windows xp pre installed and fails to start windows
  because the file system is missing.
  What can I do?
  I don't have a floppy drive to insert the startup disk
  Help, please!

  Hello

  Why you need a floppy disk?
  As far as I know this laptop has an internal CD/DVD drive.
  I think you simply boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and must be reinstalled the operating system!

  If all goes well it s not a serious fault because sometimes this seems due to HARD drive failure.
  But like I said above usually the new installation of operating system restore CD for this problem

  Good luck
