  Hello

  Here is the complete troubleshooting tool. Make sure to run the system restart, then SFC/scannow tool
  and chkdsk /f /r (CheckDisk) from the command to a startup disk.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.

• I get a black screen when I play videos in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

  Until recently, all worked well for a long time. Now when you try to watch live TV or a DVD, I get a black screen with sound in Windows Media Center and trying to watch a DVD in Windows Media Player I also get a black screen with sound. The controls are there and functioning normally. DVDs are normally visible in the K-Lite Media Player Classic.

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, a tuner TV of SiliconDust HD Homerun networked and a videocard ATI Radeon 4550. I have all the latest updates.

  I found and tried many recommendations of the Internet for problems like this, and none helped.

  The video card driver is the latest provided by ATI to Microsoft for Windows Update and is dated from 19/04/2011. I tried to install the latest Catalyst software and driver from the ATI site, which does nothing to help, and then uninstalled. These drivers provide no option to adjust the hardware acceleration.

  I had an older version of K-Lite codec package installed. The problem does not change if I have the old version, the last 32 + 64 bit version or no version installed.

  In Control Panel, I tried to disable Windows 7 media, reset their reactivation components and reboot again. There is nothing.

  I had an older version of installed package from Cyberlink. The problem remains the same if I have the old version, the version the most recent or any installed.

  I tried to uninstall all Apple software: QuickTime, iTunes, etc. There is nothing to help.

  I tried to create a new user account; same problem there.

  I have VMware and a virtual machine that is running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. In this machine, I can view DVD normally with Windows Media Player, using the same physical DVD drive. I don't have Media Center set up in this machine.

  Title photo: original No. in Media Center and Media Player

  The problem is now resolved. I removed the software installed probably because the problem started, and Cisco Webex, which I did not need, was probably the culprit, although I'm not 100% sure.

  Thanks to those who have tried to help.

  You get a Splash Screen (Dell, HP, etc. Logo) when you turn it on?

  Or is it totally Virgin market?

  If completely empty, it may a hardware failure.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer.

  If this is not the case, contact a local and trusted computer repairman.

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

  If you get a splash screen, Windows tries to load, but do not succeed, try the following steps:

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  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.

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

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  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.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  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.

  I restarted my computer and now Windows will not load. It happens on the screen says 'Windows' in the bottom with green bars. Then it goes to a blank screen with a cursor to work. I left alone for a bit to see if she would just take a while to load and the screen saver came, that works, but I cannot get it on my desk.

  A blackscreen can be very hard to fix. It's my generic convenience store which some you already have
  has tried.

  One to try:

  "C:\Windows\System32\winevt" in this folder is an another NEWSPAPER named one

  Rename the folder of NEWSPAPER LOGSold and restart the computer.

  'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs'-> 'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logsold '.

  REN C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logsold

  the actual winevt file.

• Satellite A500 - black screen when I start

  Hi all

  I was using my computer yesterday and it started to freeze all of a sudden, I held the power button and turn off. Today, I don't then restart.

  I have two options:
  1 repair Windows
  2 start Windows normally

  If I choose option 1, it loads the Windows files and then gets to a black screen with nothing on it where I can move the mouse. If I choose option 2, it is "loading Windows" screen and stays there.

  The black screen occurs if I try to boot into Safe Mode, repair windows, or start from another version of Windows 7 that I have on CD.

  Please help me on what to do. I have important data that I've not saved so I have reset to factory as a last resort only.

  How can I access my data? Should I remove the hard drive and put it in another computer?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  > Should I remove the hard drive and put it in another computer?
  If you have important data on your computer, you should do this to make a backup of these files. I would recommend so buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can put in the HARD drive to backup all the files on another computer.
  But I think that I will never understand why some people don't have a backup. I think it s the most important thing and always make from time to time.

  In any case, it seems your Windows installation is confusing upward and, therefore, it of needed to restore the Toshiba Recovery disk factory settings, but the it will delete everything on the HARD drive.

• I get a black screen when connecting to my TV

  PC to TV resolution problem?

  I bought a pc specifically if I could play the star wars: the old Republic game on my TV. I have connected the pc to the tv using a vga to hdmi. As a first step, that it worked fine. Then tried to play the game and the screen went black. I tried to change the resolution on the pc and now the pc when run in normal mode will only show a black screen after startup. It will run in safe mode with screen works fine. I tried different resolution setting and none seem not to work. I tried to look online for answers and saw someone suggested an app called powerstrip, so I managed to download that but can't run it in safe mode to see if it will be useful. How can I fix this so I can use the pc and play the game without a black screen?

  I forgot the exact dimensions of my tv, but it's about 45 ".
  Resolution of 1080 RCA
  I can't change the resolution of the TV.
  The PC is a refurbished HP Pavilion Slimline
  4 GB memory
  1 TB harddrive
  Processor Intel Pentium G630 at 2.7 GHz
  Intel HD integrated graphics
  Windows 7

  I looked at the model number for the TV. Here is the link to the specification for it on the RCA Web site.  http://rca4tv.com/product/spec.asp?modelnum=46LA45RQ

  I don't see anywhere to change the rate of resolution or refresh in the menu tv. When I go the part 'photo' of the menu it shows that

  You wouldn't change it on the TV.  ;-)  You must set your output video is that the TV can display.

  I suggest first - go VGA VGA if possible.  Go by what you presented (with some hypothesis, I am about to say), you have a few VGA HDMI adapter... So you get out of your VGA computer and go to your HDMI TV?  Given that the TV has VGA - VGA to go.  If your computer has HDMI - you might as well go HDMI to HDMI, but best results will probably come out VGA to VGA input.

  

  Inexpensive and probably work best for what you need.

  Looking around, this computer can do the following computer resolutions:

  • 1280 x 1024 (SXGA)
  • 640 x 480 (VGA)
  • 800 x 600 (SVGA)

  Another thing - it probably will result in what you see.
