• I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen

  I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.

  Hi Haolin,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

  • What is the brand and model of the computer?
  • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  • When was the last time it worked?

  Video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

  Try the following troubleshooting procedures in the order. If the steps described in the first procedure does not resolve the problem, continue to the next procedure.

  Step 1: Reinstall your video driver

You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.

  Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

  Step 2: Search for registry problems

  1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

  2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

  3. Click fileand then click new task (run)

     In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  4. Click on the Start button , type regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click on regedit.exe.

  5. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  6. Click to select the WinLogon key and then in the right pane, click on Shell. The value of shell in the data column must be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell is not explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the value data text box, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  7. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.

If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

     • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.

  4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

• Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

  I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

  External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

  Content: H: | is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

  Name of the object: H: |

  To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

  Do you want to continue?

  Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

  Owner

  You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

  To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

  Name of the object: H: |

  Current owner: unable to display current owner.

  Change in ownership to:

  the two choices are my name or administrators

  I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

  Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

  I am the only user of this computer brand new.

  When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

  How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

  Please list the steps.

  Thank you

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

• Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC > XP Mode > XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP becomes inaccessible?

  Lost all files in XP mode is "My Docs" XPMUser because I can't connect? Same situation. Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC > XP Mode > XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP instance become inaccessible? Like many here, I have activated integration and where then asked for a password on the next reboot of the XP Mode. The password that I usually use has not been accepted. I tried all the possible solutions (have "integration" disabled, start with virtual XP safe mode), but not able to change my password XPmode so don't chance NO connection.  I have brand new instance of XP Mode works, but obviously does not have access to the CASE of XP Mode instance. My question is simple: where are the files that I created and saved in the default location of the first modes XP XPMUser "My Documents" in Windows 7? I tried Win7 for XP 'My documents' files by names or names of game but no luck.  Help, please.

  It is located in the file XP Mode VHD (Virtual Hard Drive), you can look as pretty as a ZIP file that contains a structure of entire disk rather than just a few files.  This VHD file is usually stored in your user folder in a folder of Virtual Machines, for example mine was in the C:\Users\SKeene\Virtual Machines.

  And it's my cheesy guilty pleasure wishes to inform you that you can browse this file as if it were a hard drive, without having to start the XP mode.  However, security applies: If your 'My documents' has been limited, it might be difficult to access (even if you pouvez be able to take possession of the file and gain access).
  Here's how:
  1. Open the Start Menu, right-click on computer and select manage. In the maintenance window of the computer that opens, choose "disk management".
  2. On the right side, click "More action" and then click "Attach VHD" and select your XP Mode VHD file.  You might consider making a backup of the file copy of the hard drive virtual before do you it, just in case!
  3. Once you have connected the virtual hard drive, an Autorun dialog box may appear.  If this is not the case, simply click on Start/computer to see your new 'Local disk '.

  At least, I can confirm that it worked perfectly for me, and I had access to my account "User XPMode" alongwith without problem.

• Windows 7 Professional: "another program is installed. Please wait until the installation is completed, and then try to reinstall this software. »

  I get this error message (see title) when I try to remove existing applications or to install new applications.  I upgraded this Compaq CQ50z-100 of Vista Home Basic in a 2 step process:

  Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade

  Windows 7 Professional upgrade

  Once I had upgraded to Home Premium, I started to get this message.  Thinking that I can fix by the Win 7 Pro update, I proceeded with the upgrade (success, no problem).  However, the problem persists.  I tried to perform a "clean boot" and then "Normal Startup - load all the drivers of devices and services" and I still get this error.

  Thank you Andre,

  Since posting this thread, I found a solution.  The solution was to reset Windows Installer (1 to off, and then back to the manual) using the console of the computer/manage.  I edited the setting Windows Installer via "Services and Applications view (tab 'Standard' of Services).  First round of "Disabled" to "Manual", restarted and all then it 'Manual' and rebooted one last time.

  In a note, my issue was with Norton Ghost 15.  I had installed on the original view of Vista Home Basic, but found I could not it starts successfully after the 2-step 7 upgrade Premium.  Remove failed.  I've finally finished the removal after completing a full installation of Ghost 15 new (seemed to have lost some registry key values/entries).

• Windows 7 Professional SP 1 retail copy that was purchased from the Microsoft Store will be not turn on after several re - installed.

  I get very frustrated with the activation tool. My Windows 7 Professional SP 1 is a copy retail that I bought on the shop online Microsoft a year ago. At one point I had to reinstall my operating system several times on the same machine and now when I try to activate the copy it will just accept his authentic product key 100% (from Microsoft online store right?), so now, every time when I re - install, I have to contact Microsoft to activate it. I paid $300, I got a receipt from Microsoft as evidence and since my time is money, I don't want to call them every time when I want to re - install and activate MY COPY to the Windows DETAIL. When I call the Microsoft Support next time, anyway they will have to give me a new copy of Windows 7 Professional SP1 with a working product key, or everything just refund my money.

  I would recommend that you try activation of phone since you reinstalled several times:
