My lap top will not start now upward

I installed the updates using the custom option, including hardware. My lap top now not start. I use Windows XP

Although your experience seems more severe that much, it is never a good idea to get the hardware from Windows Update updates.

The best rule on driver updates is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This means that, unless you have a problems with a device that you know will be set with a new or replacement driver or (b) need several new features provided by an updated driver, there is no reason to update your driver.

Now that I told you what you shouldn't do, let's see if we can get you back to where you were.

What happens when you try to start the computer?  If you get an error message, what is it (please do not paraphrase)?

You can start the computer Safe Mode (F8 repeatedly just to tap after turning the power on tests)?

Do you remember what hardware updates that you have installed?

If you can start safe mode, log on using an account with computer administrator privileges.  You can use the built-in "Administrator" account (which should show on the homescreen mode without failure).  The default password (if you did not indicate a) is empty (that is, no password).

If you can connect to an administrator account on the computer in Safe Mode AND you can remember what peripheral hardware (s) that you have installed new drivers for, then use the "Restore drivers" function for devices that you updated.  See
http://www.TechRepublic.com/article/roll-back-your-drivers-with-Windows-XP/1046827
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306546

If you can connect to an administrator in Mode safe account, but you can't remember what hardware updates that you have installed, things are a little more difficult.   Ago that something called 'Safe Mode with network', but Windows Update is not working properly in Mode safe unless you start messing around in the registry, you cannot use this method to return to Windows Update to see your update story and determine what material you updated.

However, assuming that you have not disabled the system restore, which should have created a Restore Point in the framework of the installation of updates and/or new pilots.  See http://lifehacker.com/193546/geek-to-live--roll-back-windows-with-system-restore
IF you have made no changes to your system since you installed the updates (especially if you have not installed or uninstalled applications), then log in as a user with privileges "computer administrator" and launch the system restore.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/ Pick Restore Point the most recent that is before installing the hardware updates (drivers).  If you use a Restore Point before installing all the updates of this session, return to Windows Update and update any material 'critical '.

Note that although you can use Safe Mode system restore, if you do, you can't "undo" restore operation - which is something you can do if you use the restore system in normal mode - so keep that in mind before doing a system restore.

    From the F8 Advanced Boot Options menu, were you unable to choose:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Your system sounds like it restarts to determine what he complains and then someone can help you to repair.

    This is why there is a disable automatic restart on system failure option...

    There is another option in the menu F8 Advance Startup Options:

    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)

    I do not think that this will help you, but you can at least say you tried it if someone suggests.

  • Downloaded ServicePack3 and my laptop will not start now.

    When I start my laptop: first of all, it takes several minutes to go... then it takes me to another window with this message: "cannot start Windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    Then it gives me two options: 1) launch system recovery center and 2) start windows normally
    If I choose #2 it will go a little crazy with all kinds of numbers/letters flashing on the screen, then it will get stuck; "!! 0xc01a001d! 28480/89829 (Registry\machine\machine\COMPONENTS\Deriveddata...), then it will be there for days... literally. At this point, I must close. If I choose the option #1 it will give me these choices: REPAIR of the BOOT SYSTEM RESTORE a) b) c) WINDOWS COMPLETE PC RESTORE(need backup disk wich I don't have) TOOL of DIAGNOSIS MEMORY WINDOWS) d (e) COMMAND PROMPT

    When I choose to START REPAIR, it will attempt to repair and then take me to the RESTORATION of the SYSTEM where it will get stuck and do nothing and once again I must close all otherwise I eighther have disc for or no idea haven't had to use it (i.e. COMMAND PROMPT)

    so if there wasn't a soul who can help with this little dilemma of my friends I would be very happy. Tank you in advance.

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  • Just updated to 4.1.2 and Win7 VM will not start now

    Just updated to 4.1.2 on Lion 10.7.3.  Stop my VM Win7 and then click on the Install button and recovery.  Now my VM does not start with the following errors:

    First of all, it appears:

    With vmmon module version mismatch: expected 267.0, obtained 264,0.

    You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.
    Try reinstalling VMware Fusion.
    Then:
    Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus.

    And finally:

    Cannot find a valid peer to connect to

    Any suggestions other than reinstall and do not patch again?

    Hi jcampbell84and welcome to the VMware communities!

    Try restarting your computer host computer.

    We are always chasing a problem that causes upgrades to misbehave on some Lion systems until the host is restarted - there is a problem with our extensions (kexts) not being kernel not discharged and recharged properly, and that includes the component "vmmon" referenced in the error message.  The result is that your machine ends using the driver of vmmon version merged with the rest of the new version of the Fusion, and that leads to the vmmon version mismatch error you see.

    I hope this helps!

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

  • Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

    Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

    Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

    can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Winston,

    According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

    If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

    My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

    Let us know what they have to say.

    Best regards

    I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

    If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.
