Logon Windows XP Home Edition stuck in the loop - welcome to desktop without icons flash then disconnects from return to the Welcome screen

@dallasdien: Judging by you in other threads (for example, http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/9ec0baff-5d84-4daf-8766-867bc77e34fd), your computer is still infected. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

PA Bear: It worked fine after analysis and cleaning, including the reboot until the download of updates on 11 September, which seems to be where a lot of other acquired problems. I don't think that it is still infected as each scan was clear.

  • Windows XP - Home Edition: what is the administrator password? Or how to find / change (OS is OEM - only have not disk) _

    Windows XP - Home Edition - SP3.
    Is there a way to know what administrator account password?

    Standard mode:

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

    Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

    Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
    I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
    Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

    Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

    When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
    If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
    Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
    Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
    I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
    As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

    Hello

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

    Hello

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

    2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

    3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

    4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

    5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

    I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

    I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

    Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

    You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

  • Windows 7 Home Premium, stuck in the update cycle

    My machine has been ask to update Win 10 for a while, but my computer office contributed to discourage users of the upgrade due to some problems (is my home PC, but I sometimes take care of office on this subject) software testing.

    A few days ago the process of upgrading to win 10 go really emphasizing and somehow automatically upgraded my machine (?).  I used the option to "return to my previous version" and I was apparently to Win 7 again.

    However, the machine insists I have pending updates and asking and sometimes restart, trying constantly to update, but nothing happens.  10 minutes after the restart he wants to do it again and again and again, like the groundhog day...

    I tried the Fixit and up-to-date diagnostic routines, but neither changed anything at all, even after several attempts.

    and did the sfc/scannow, who found nothing.

    I put the automatic update and wait for time to pass, nothing happened but she wants to always restart and restart and restart.

    My update log is displayed here:

  • Windows XP - Home Edition (issue on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen)

    Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

    Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

    The taskbar is resizable, like a window, and it can be set to zero

    lines of ups. Maybe that's your problem, and fixing must be the

    first thing you should try. You may have accidentally resized to

    zero lines of ups. Place the cursor on the bottom of the screen and pass

    it upward and down slightly until it turns into a two-headed arrow.

    Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

    If this does not work, it may be zero lines high on another facet of the

    the screen, try the above on all four sides.

    Finally, if none of those working, go to

But typing me in the password box is not launched, or sometimes it comes up, so I type in my passoword. screen 'Welcome' comes up and last forever (literally, I waited for two days).

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Johnny,.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Method 1:

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then start. If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download software updated driver for the device.

    Method 2:

    Try to start in last good known Configuration and see if you can start very well.

    Using the last good known Configuration

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to check if you can start the computer in Mode safe or not. If Yes, try to perform the system restore, safe mode and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Start in Safe Mode.
