Hello
No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
are a few others.
You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.
Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.
Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer
--------------------------------------------------------------
You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.
A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.
First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.
Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
field efforts.
Here's a video of one of them.

You have a Vista disk? You can try restoring the system to it. If you don't have the disks your
system manufacturer will sell them at low prices. Or try in safe mode if you can get there.

If necessary and you can access all ordinary Windows.
You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation

Ren LogsOLD Logs (there are spaces between ren and newspapers and Logsold)
RESTART Windows

Sometimes it works:
There are backups in the folder C:\Windows\System32\Config\Regback.

be rebuilt.

I turn on my laptop and it tells me to press control, alt, delete to secure my computer
original title: logging on to Windows
So for some reason that I turn on my laptop and it says to push control, alt, delete to protect my computer. He has never done this before. So I do and then he asks a user name and password. I never created either on my laptop. It won't let me on anything whatsoever and I was wondering if there is a way that you can change to actually get on everything? I bought this computer used and thought that I could substitute it some how and then get on and everything change. Help!

Two points:
1. to answer your question, go to start | Run and type 'control '.
userpasswords2"select the account that you want to connect automatically.
Then uncheck "users must enter a user name and password
This computer '.Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
2. If I have acquired a used computer, regardless of who was previously owner
the first thing I would do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.

I can't boot into windows xp. The windows logo comes on but then a black screen blank (you can see and move the cursor with the mouse however) is displayed.
anesvet,
I'm going to sound like I'm repeating myself tonight... (see previous 4 posts...) but try this:When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options. Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps. If this does not work, try to F * then try to go to Safe Mode. If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow". QQ learn manage!

If you are unable to determine the hardware problem yourself, contact the manufacturer if under warranty.
If it is not under warranty, find a good repair shop premises to take.

I recently turned on my laptop and my profile/account has not been recognized.
I recently turned on my laptop and my profile/account was not recognized during the startup of the computer toward the top, so a temporary account/profile is used instead. I did some work saved information on the computer using this temp-account profile. My regular account/profile has been recognized at every time since, but I was not able to find the location of the temp profile/account or the information stored when using this profile/account temporarily. The profile was not a guest account or an administrator account. That's only 2 accounts visible to me. There is only 1 account on the laptop so I actually disabled guest accounts.
the laptop is running windows vista
Hi Eric J Kim
After you log on to a Windows Vista system with a temporary profile, any changes you make on the current desk are lost once you disconnect the system

Icons and black screen that appears when published the missing LMS
Hello
I tried to search online, but need some advice on how to solve a problem of publication I encounter.
Captivate 7
SCROM 1.2
When I run a SWF file via my IE browser, I have no missing icons or black screen that appears. During the generation of the content to publish SWF with HTML5, it passes through successfully.
When it is published through LMS, couple of slides in the length of the content, I am facing some missing icons and black screen. I read an article saying check on imsmanifest.xml that could help solve the problem. But watch and read the code, I am pretty well confused to determine what lack us here.
Comments or the recommendation how I can solve this problem?

Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.
So my questions are:
1. He's probably right?

If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...
