I have a PC Toshiba laptop with vista.  Everything worked well until one day he started upward and I get a blank screen with a cursor that I can move.

I tried all modes of security with no luck.
I noticed that when it starts in safe mode it will stop on windows/system32/drivers/crcdsk.sys every time.
I did some research and found people have had the same problem and solved with a running repair disk, I did not.  Is there a fix I can do without the disc?
Thanks for the help in advance

My problem is that some how I lost my video drivers, so I used hirens boot cd to get and discovered was my drivers were in the files and restored to an earlier date.

    I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

    Hello FrankHeinsohn,

    Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

    Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

  • When I try to burn a music disc player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source

    I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

    When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

    Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

    In WMP, please click the button burn up and make sure that the Audio CD is selected. Then try burning the CD again, they now play on a standalone CD player too.

  • I get a blank screen just before the connection with a single visible cursor

    Currently, my computer will load where the login screen should appear, but instead merely display a white screen with the mouse cursor in the middle that I can move around.

    I tried restoring the system manually at a point in time that he began to arrive. That did not work. I tried a restore of the system manually to a time past, does not work well before it began. I tried to have my computer to do in the repair option to "restore to the last known good configuration" and that did not work. I ran various programs that look for malware, spyware and viruses many times and found a few things, but nothing of this has solved the problem. I tried to check all my drivers and they say all work and all drivers say they do not need an update. I tried the system repair tool and he found nothing wrong, even with the memory to check tool that finds nothing wrong. If I press SHIFT 5 times to the white screen with the cursor, I'll hear the keys to self-retaining beep, but no prompt.

    One thing that happened was that I was once in the blank screen and I pushed to escape and I noticed that the cursor has turned to an hourglass. Then I tried Ctrl alt delete and which opens a command prompt and from this command prompt it allowed me to go to the usual login screen. Then, my computer work as it did just before this problem (a warning would pop-up Windows saying that it stopped a program that you try to start itself without permission and who would be come like every minute or so). But since then I havnt been able to reproduce this same result to load or by opening the command prompt.

    And safe mode works very well.

    I was reading around online and there was something that said they had the same problem and download internet explorerer 7 helped. as well as a similar problem which was fixed when IE8 was downloaded an update of windows. the guy deleted and it was fine since.

    I tried to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, but it cannot be loaded without rebooting, and I can't enter the normal screen that opens after the cut to finalize it. I always still try to remove it as well as the update of windows.

    Another difference I noticed is in the loading bar than before windows starts as the login screen. It used to be thick green blocks that crossed with the windows logo. Now, it's a block really thin yellowish green (which reminds me of the life blocks Mega Man in his health bar if that helps lol) and no windows logo because it does it (if it says copywrite along the bottom windows corporation).

    If anyone has more aid in addition to the info windows give a repair tool, please help. Thank you.

    ===============================================================

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    Hi papreps,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As the posts above mention, the problem comes from your drivers.  Crashes BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) are usually caused by bad drivers (manufacturer code) and incorrectly blamed on the operating system. Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers installed with the latest version of the BIOS.

    I suggest you to download and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's Web site.

    Try the procedure described in the following Microsoft Help article.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/resolving-stop-blue-screen-errors-in-Windows-7

    , Note 1: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive, while the bad sectors can be refunded but there may be loss of data.

    Note 2: Data or files that are infected by malware could be beyond cleaning and must be completely deleted to preserve the integrity of your system, which means that there could be a risk of data loss.

    Keep us posted on the State of the question, we will be happy to help you.
