I can not get windows to start.

I can't log on my computer except in safe mode. I don't know what the problem is. I am running XP service pak 3. It acts like it will start normally. "" and then just after the windows xp screen comes in a gray box flashes on saying info no input signal go to energy saving and then takes me "you want to start windows normally" or SafeMode etc.. Ive tried going to last known good configuration and nothing works but the mode without danger. Help, please!

Hi margaretbrown,

This problem may be caused by one of the options below.

1. monitor not connected correctly.
2. bad hardware

Monitor not connected correctly

Verify that the monitor is connected to the back of the screen, as well as the back of the computer.

If the monitor seems to be connected correctly, check that a cable is not loose by disconnecting any cables that may be disconnected at the back of the screen (usually the data cable cannot be disconnected). Then unplug the data cable connected to the back of the computer, and then reconnect the cable. By connecting the cable to the back of the computer, ensure that the cable connection is strained. Most computers will also have the ends of screws that can be screwed to keep the connector in place.

Faulty hardware

If the connections look OK, unfortunately it is likely that the monitor or the computer graphics card is bad. To test this component is bad, either connect a different monitor to your computer or connect your monitor to another computer.

* If another monitor works on your computer, it's probably a bad screen.
* If your monitor works on another computer, it's probably a bad video card.

  • Where can I get Windows 7 Starter?

    Hello

    Where can I buy or download a copy with a license key of Windows 7 Starter?  I have an 'upgrade' of Win7 Starter key to Win7 Home Premium...

    FYI: I asked recently on the upgrade from my old computer under Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium, with the support of 'Cat' of Microsoft; because I couldn't find an upgrade of Vista Win7 anywhere.  Therefore, I felt that I could buy a Win7 Starter 'upgrade' to Win7 Home Premium.  The support agent does not otherwise as a State nor made the Microsoft Web page, she posted a link for me.

    Therefore, it does not work so now I'm stuck with a button 'upgrade' Win7 Home Premium Win7 Starter.  I immediately contacted 'Chat' support still once, and finally, this agent, after a few minutes, said that couldn't be done.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    It seems that what you bought was an upgrade Express intended to only upgrade a computer running Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

    Unfortunately, Windows 7 Starter is preloaded on new computers.

    Your best option is to return the Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium Upgrade for a refund and buy the good upgrade.

    After going to the windows update page and clicking on the express install button I get an error number: 0 x 80240036. Any ideas on FIXING THIS?

    Restore point:

    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 restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    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.
