• Satellite L450D-119 recovery is stuck in a loop of reboot running TUPIT

  It's the kind of a question answered itself to halfway!

  I had to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit "Product recovery" DVD from Toshiba. He went through a complex process involving many Windows CMD copy stuff on a HD recovery partition (I think). Then, he went through the installation of Windows 7 from scratch. Then it restarts Windows 7, but whenever it starts, it opens a full screen splash screen saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer. This continues for about 5 minutes or more (sometimes much more), then it restarts and does all this many times.

  I let her do this about 10 times and got bored. It may be interruped with CTRL-ALT-DELETE, but if I try to start the task from the Task Manager window manager is immediately covered by the start screen. I can also break the command prompt that starts everything, but then the PC restarts after a short while. I had to stop once and he seemed to be in a State of some drivers, but the progress bar was not progressing.

  When it starts every time, the splash screen graphic Windows, it displays "Preparing for first use Windows" or something similar and it goes through the same process.

  Is this normal?

  An update, I pass by another loop 10 min + while I was typing this and it ends up wearing a screen asking me in user name, password and the input locale. My heart is squeezed then I saw "Preparing Windows for first use" and then "preparing your desktop... '. ", but fortunately he got at the installation of McAfee.

  It has now completely installed, but it would have been nice for the booklet to tell what he do and give us some advance warning that this will take hours...

  Yes this is normal. Laptop restarts again and again and the installation of any recovery may take about two hours.
  I put t understand how you can say he's bored. It is the installation process which should not interrupt. If you do this, you can start from the beginning. Please contact don t nothing until the installation of recovery is not over.

  You are right. This statement about a few minutes is a good joke. On my laptop, it takes more than two hours for a complete installation.

  In the end, I must say that this recovery facility is very uncomfortable.
  What do you think?

• Stuck in a loop of reboot computer after vista SP2 installed

  I installed the vista SP2 update earlier today, I was invited to reboot for updates could continue. When the computer starts up after windows loading screen (before the login screen appears), it says updated 1 filled with 3 but then there was an error in the installation and say he was restoring the previous settings and wait. less than a second to load the login screen steady after the previous settings have been restored, stop starting the computer. When loading to the top, it says 'error in the installation of update, restore the previous settings', then as soon as he finished and goes to the login screen it a new past in stopping and restarting. This continues constantly. If someone had a similar problem or have any ideas? When I tried to load the previous settings of windows recovery, he says there is no image to use.

  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.

  See you soon.

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  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.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Office XP stuck in a loop of reboot in safe AND regular mode

  Randomly, one day, after that no new downloads or activities, when I started my computer it has crossed the first steps then says something don't like "Windows has encountered an error.  "Restart in the last mode which worked: normally, or in the safe, safe with order," or something to that effect, counted from 30 and began in the mode selected, then obtained for XP just loading screen after her fate of BACK, then restarted the process.  I tried to boot with all the options of the four mode and got the same result, then put on the CD I got with the computer to reload everything.  That had me reformat and I made after using the backup option that he and reboot from the CD instead of the hard drive.  But now, even if the CD is no longer in it, whenever it boots up it goes to the screen from the CD asks me to reformat.  I try very hard to not lose my data, so, even if this requires the backup of my external hard drive, I'll be fine with it as long as I don't lose all.

  eelyak321,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  So have you been able to back up your hard drive?  If Yes, then the restore function of the CD that came with your computer system should restore your system to back as if you were just there.  If your CD is System Restore did not complete the installation, then you will need to check with the manufacturer of PC.  It may be that a disk is bad, or you may need to try a different restore option.

• I get a message when you try to install firefox 3.6.10 that says: "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox." I rebooted several times, but still get this message. How can I make this?

  I tried to do the update on Firefox 3.6.9 and he said that it could not update because Firefox was still running even if she is not in the list of processes in the Task Manager. I decided to reinstall Firefox and above message is now shown every time I restart my computer and try to install Firefox 3.6.10.

  Did you also remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean reinstall?

  It seems that some files are still in use and cannot be replaced by the updater.

  You may need to remove the updates folder to delete files that have been downloaded.

• Satellite A660 - 11 M stuck in a loop when installing recovery

  Hi all.

  I am now under a procedure of recovery for A660 - 11M. I used a bought at Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Everything was going well until the recovery is stuck in the loop of ' * now System Performance Rating *'.

  I found a similar case, where a person has solved problem of forced reboot. I did, too, but when he turned, the loop began.

  I wonder if there is anyway to stop this notation. It does not seem very important ultimately.

  Thank you.

• Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

  I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
  I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

  I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
  No problem at all with the restoration.

  Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
  The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
  Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
  It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

  I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

  How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

  No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
  I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

  Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  It identified the rootkit and removed.
  Seems to be OK now!

  Hope this post could help others.
  Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

  Thanks for sharing!

• Computer goes to a loop of reboot after Windows update

  After a complete restoration of the PC, tried to install the update to windows, my computer goes to a restart and stuck loop installation of updates stage 3 of 3 so went ahead and made a factory again restore but the windows updates causing the problem, it is stuck in a reboot loop suggestions. Is it because of damaged hard drive files?

  Perform a restart from a hard stop. Press the f8 key until you get to the screen asking questions on safe mode. Select repair. Then, you should find a system restore option. Select it. Spend until it gives you a choice of dates, then select a date before the update. This worked like a charm and does not lose any data. Turn off your automatic installation of updates option.

  \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)
  

  \Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.

  There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

  del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

  del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

  The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

  Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

  Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

  Hello

  the upgrade is not always a good way to correct errors

  you often take them with the upgrade or errors interfere with the upgrade

  and Yes, it must be in normal mode to upgrade

  Updates configuration is normally a process of updating microsoft windows

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

• Out of the box Alpha stuck in the loop of repair

  Just got my new Alienware Alpha, plugged into the TV (Panasonic TC-P42ST60), and set up as usual, but after turning on it starts up to the Alienware logo then restarts, after reboot it gets captured it repair your PC loop, finally giving me the blue screen of troubleshooting.

  I tried to use system restore to factory Dell but it is always the case. When I try to start in safe mode, that it says windows need to finish to install everything first and then restarts.

  I am stuck in a loop.

  I managed to pinpoint the problem.

  I plugged the Alpha on an Asus computer screen, then he worked as usual, it seems that Alpha can't handle the EDID HDMI to Panasonic TV. I noticed at the start that he said 1080p@50Hz instead of 60 Hz and this was to launch Windows.

  I'm going to continue with the installation via screen Asus and I hope that force 60 Hz in display settings, so it does not work with the TV.
