Hello

Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

Method 1:

You probably have changed the theme Classic view that would make your operating system such as Windows XP. I suggest you to change thee and check if the problem persists.

Method 2:

Updated version has a problem in the history of the update.
 
a. open Windows Update by clicking on the button start. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
(b) in the left pane, click view update history.
c. to display more information about an update, double-click it.

Do System Restore to the point that your computer worked very well and install updates manually ensuring that do not install the problem causing the update unless it says 'important update '.

    I upgraded from Capitan in Sierra and got the problem that after I pressed the power button, the screen is full white. This problem has occurred on the Sierra, never happened in Capitan.

    I went to the Apple store today, they made a few diagnostic and found no problem. Everything is good. System is fine too. In the Apple store, they showed me to press SHIFT after I press the power button and it will start up the Mac in safe mode. They told me this can sometimes help fixing the boot issue. My Mac actually works very well in the Apple store. I tried the power and turned off twice in the store, and there is no problem. I am happy and come home.

    After I go home, I turn on my Mac, it always has the same problem before you go to the Apple store, after I pressed the power button, the screen is completely blank. So I tried to boot mode safe by pressing Shift and taking until I saw the Apple logo on the screen.

    After I log in, I checked my Mac mode, this is actually Normal mode!

    If I intended to power to the top of my Mac in safe mode but it turns out to be normal.

    If I do not press SHIFT and hold it pressed down after I turn on the power, I'll have just a white screen!

    It works very well in Apple store, but not in my own House.

    Anyone know what is happening?

    What is different between your system and the store? Have you taken your own keyboard & they were they that? If you use a bluetooth keyboard try using a wired USB one instead. Is this an original Apple keyboard?

    Do you have other devices connected? If you delete them.

    Please see the article below from Apple, it has information about starting in safe mode without keyboard (by setting a NVRAM variable). If you enter a work boot, you can put the mini in safe mode from there, via the command appears on this page...

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    I need to reinstall Windows Vista, but it's come with a disk when I bought my computer.  How can I get a copy of it?

    1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
    The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.

    2. While the site of the computer manufacturer, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your computer, Partition Recovery and utilization of the partition to restore your computer to factory State.

    You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

  • Windows Vista SP1 laptop computer upgraded to Windows 8.1 / 10 Windows

    Hello!

    A long time ago (7 years probably) supplied with Windows Vista Home Basic x 86, we bought a laptop Toshiba Portege M800. I plan to upgrade to Windows 8/8.1/10, but I don't know if it will work. Here are my specs.

    Hello

    We cannot tell you that you can definitely improve 8.1 or 10.

    We provide only the information on the system requirements. Then, it is yours for a search.

    And they're both done with a clean installation (no upgrade path) and they are not free.

    Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

    There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

    Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

    computer crashed, have windows vista, indented leave, all the documents lost, can I get all the files, how to do it, in simple terms,

    Thank you.

    If by "computer of new beginning" you mean that you have started your recovery or disk restore factory set and reinstalled Windows, then the ability to recover your files is practically zero.  You can try a utility like Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) but since you have rewritten the entire hard drive, it is highly unlikely that anything will be recoverable.

  • Upgrade to Windows Vista, but the graphics card does not support Aero.

    Original title: I am considering upgrading to vista but my graphics card doesn't support aero at the moment

    could I still switching from xp pro to vista, the Counselor said my computer could run vista but aero did not support my card I want to run aero or is it just an optional thing I'm trying to understand this because I know service ends for xp and advice would be helpful thanks

    Hi clay I Denny,

    Thanks for coming back.

    If you want to get the Windows Aero feature, and then upgrade you to a graphics card that supports this feature.

  • my computer is a vista but it says xp home edition, how do I reinstall vista

    my computer has programs in vista on it, but the screen says xp home edition when I connect

    Hello

    What Vista programs?

    Third party programs are not related to a particular operating system.

    And if you have XP installed, you must have installed XP.

    To reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
