Monitor problems after installing SP1

After installing SP1, on reboot, the screen works nto correctly.... I see the cursor and screensaver.  .. everything else is black

WTH?

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

 

 

Restore point:

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.

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

 

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.

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

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

If the above does not solve the problem, repost in the appropriate Forum:

It's updated operating system Vista, upgraded installation and activate Forum.

You will get the best help for any problem of Update/Service Pack in the Windows Update Forum; the link below:

  • Boot problems after installing Vista SP2 (KB948465)

    I installed SP2 via update.  During the update process there was a power failure.  After that (I don't remember if it's immediately after, or if a few days elapsed) I had problems with the startup.  Initially, seemed the Startup Repair to fix the problem, but not permanently, and the Startup Repair had to be used repeatedly just to start.

    After a few times of what is happening, Startup Repair did not turn, and the PC wouldn't start.  After about 5 attempts using the decision-making power, sometimes choose the Startup Repair, sometimes choose to load windows normally, he did start.
    I immediately did a system restore to return my PC before SP2 was installed.

    After the restoration of versions prior to SP2, Windows Update showed that the SP2 update failed.  It was on 9 November.  As I need my computer, I didn't reinstall SP2 until I had finished this work.

    As I thought that the problem is probably caused by the power outage, on 10 September, I reinstalled SP2.  Windows Update show no SP2 as an available update, then I downloaded and installed the standalone update.

    Between the 10th and today, 14, Windows Update has installed more than updated.

    Today, I was unable to start for the first time since the reinstall SP2 and Startup Repair has allowed me to open a session.
    I tried to uninstall SP2 via update.  The first part of it seemed to work, but when it came to reboot, the PC stopped at the end power to the bottom of the procedure.  I used the power switch to turn the PC back on.  After startup, the PC told me that deletion failed.

    Then I tried the system restore.  Unfortunately, the first available restore point was post - SP2 installation.  I restored it for the point that is as close as I could.  I tried to uninstall SP2 again through Windows Update.  This time, I receive a generic error message immediately (less than a second) - it does not attempt to go through the configuration - restart the procedure.

    I haven't restarted my PC since then.  Most updates have been downloaded automatically, and the PC tells me that a restart is required.  I'm a little worried that I will end up with a completely insensitive PC.

    I use an Acer Aspire X 3200 with Vista home premium pre-installed.  I don't have a Vista disc.

    My pc runs Windows XP Home Media edition.  I installed Windows Service Pack 3 successfully, or so I thought.

If I press Cancel repeatedly, the window disappears to return with the same information, but ask me to install Windows XP Professional CD3.  How can I stop this happening?

  • Problems after installing KB978338 on Windows Vista SP2

    I met a problem after installing KB978338. The update installs without error or problem, but the system is extremely inadmissible after the reboot. The "\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is not accessible" error, and the system is practically unusable. Normally opens the Task Manager and system seems inactive, but you try to start a new application from the Task Manager gave an error "hose is not valid.

    System is Vista Home Premium SP2 installed without any obvious problems before the update. Start the system restore and go back to immediately before the update of the results in the system back to normal functionality and responsiveness.

    I've never seen or either of these mistakes before and my research has not yet been able to find something similar, so I am at a loss to start this kind of problem with an update of troubleshooting.

    Please tell us how can I still troubleshoot or solve this problem.

  • No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek

    Hello.

    I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.

    The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.

    My troubleshooting so far include:

    -Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works

    -I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers

    -Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front

    -Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device

    -Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html

    -Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

    -Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers

    -Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game

    -Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program

    -In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.

    So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!

  • Problem after installing SP2

    Recently wiped my pc and I am now going through the process of trying to update everything back, I bought Vista just after that that he was released.  After spending a few hours today to install SP1 and 2, my system is rather strange. It will work very well for a few moments, then everything begins "not responding" I use Firefox, play a game, or just clicking on in windows Explorer, it happens.  I didn't have this problem until I wiped my computer, so I don't understand why its happening now. There are fewer programs installed now than before, and it of the same system, have not upgraded or anything... With Task Manager open while I'm working, I do not notice any huge spikes in CPU usage, or use of the physical memory, so Im quite baffled.

    System specs are > 4 GB of ram, AMD Athlon II X 2 processor (2.8 ghz) and running 32-bit of windows vista business.

    Below the system restore to before service pack installation, I can't think anything I can do to fix this problem, any suggestions much appreciated!

    Microsoft support always offers FREE with Vista SP2 issues technical support at:https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1.  Take advantage of this offer while it is still available.  I'm sure they will be able to help you.

    After installing Windows (prior to Windows Vista) 10, scan documents with my HP Officejet 7612 became a hell of a job.

    Printing is no problem.

    With Webscan, I can only scan and save 1 page at a time, I can not scan several pages of the document 1 more.

    I downloaded "Extended Scan" but when I try to use this app, it says "year error occurred while scanning" without more information.

    With "HP Scan and capture" I can't scan the size of A3 paper full of documents and there seems to be no possibility to change the size of a3 paper. Maximum size is 'legal letter '.

    Same problem with "Windows Fax and scan."

    Are there other ways to recover the possibilities of full scan from my HP Officejet 7612?

  • Computer fails to boot after installing SP1

    I use Vista without SP1 for quite awhile. I've just updated to SP1 since the message kept popping on my screen. Now the computer will not book. I used the original vista bootable CD and clicked on repair. He began the process of repair, but got stuck at the same registry error
