• My computer has a black screen and a cursor and there is no menu start more

  Original title: replay Vista operating system

  What I would like to know, is my computer only has a black screen and a cursor, there is no menu start, so I can stop and start a new installation of windows vista? If anyone can help please. I thank you very much for your time and have a fantastic day. Shawn

  Hello

  What changes have been made on your machine for there to be a black screen with a cursor?

  Rather than doing a clean install of your operating system, I suggest you do the following.

  Step 1:

  Remove all external devices (printer, USB flash drive), as appropriate, and start your computer again and check.

  Step 2:

  If this is little help, start your machine in safe mode and check if it starts on the desktop.

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Computer has a black screen and does not show the normal startup logo and more

  The computer that I use usually works well, until the next day, the day that I used it, ruined everything. My computer shows not the Windows 7 logo normal at startup, but instead, a bar with green lines in movement like the ones you see in older versions (Windows Vista), but now only the bar and did no logo in it and after starting does not display. It shows a completely black screen, but it makes a noise like the sound when she welcomes you to Windows 7. I tried safe mode and disabled the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics card and the screen works, but he is stuck at 800 x 600. In addition, the start screen is always the bar. How can I fix it? (Tried updating the gpu but still displayed black screen)

  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.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  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 startup repair disk.

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

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

  It seems that something was tangled up in your Windows installation and the computer can no longer start t.

  In this case, you have only one option and that s reinstalling Windows. Therefore, you can take the (better) Toshiba Recovery disk or a Microsoft Windows XP disk. It will restore factory settings and your computer is read to use again.

• Start the computer to black screen and the computer runs hot

  original title: sick Vista laptop

  My daughter portable computer began acting strangely very yesterday.

  Once connected, I get a black screen and a cursor.  The system seems to work at full speed, because I can hear the fan, and it runs very hot.  No matter how long it sits, the desktop does not appear.

  I can use Ctrl-alt-del to display the Task Manager.  The list of processes is limited to the process of the current user, and none of them use important CPU. If I click on 'See the process for all users', taskmanager freezes and I have to disconnect to get rid of him.

  Using the Task Manager, I can kill the process Explorer and then start it again, date at which I get my desktop.  However, it is still running hot and noisy.  With the help of SysInternals ProcessExplorer, there is no process using any important CPU.  Most of the time CPU is reported as inactive.

  I don't know what to think.  A boot loader took over the system?  A hardware problem?  OS corrupted files?
