my laptop won't go to the starting window to type my password so I am trying to install windows 7 and it will not be installed.
my computer windows vista laptop will not go to the start menu to type my password
You are doing a Windows 7 upgrade starting in a race and activation of Vista operating system.
Try to repair Vista:
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 it.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Case of failure of the foregoing:
Reinstall Vista > and then upgrade to Windows 7.

HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen
I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.
When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.
I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?
Thank you, Glenn...
It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.
You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.
You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that. Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.
The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.
To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.
To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/
Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick. Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
-------------------------------------
Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html
You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.
Once completed, your PC should start OK.If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.
Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
Good luck

Windows Help and Support will not start.
My brother is running windows Vista, and the application help and Support Windows will not start. The exact wording is:
"Help and Support could not start. For more information, contact your system administrator or visit http://windowshelp.microsoft.com"
Clicked on the link but no help at all. A system restore would work, and if yes, what are the other effects there - he will have to reinstall all windows updates, service packs, etc.. ?
I could restore just the request of assistance? If so, what files can I restore and where are they located?
I stick with XP. Vista makes no sense to me and I can't find anything!

I have a Gateway with Windows 8 computer is installed. I installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my Web site, and it will remain not connected to the server. Also, it will not play flash and said I need a flash plug-in. Help, please
#1, try the FTP mode passive switching power in the definition of your remote server site.
#2 with the exception of a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a web technology dead. It is not taken care of by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc... I don't recommend to use Flash for anything these days. Better to use HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS level 3.

Would be really happy for any help. The application tells me that they have been moved to the storage area, but they are not there.
Help.
Is your username mentioned in the tab security for storage files and all subfolders, and has 'full control '?
If these files are really empty then the transfer/import routine failed for some unknown (to me) reason.
Have you tried to copy all old messages from the Windows.old folder, put in a file in your user name for example Documents and then import from there? It is perhaps necessary to remove to another location in the current storage folder in Windows Live Mail rather than simply delete before rerunning the import program.
Have you tried to temporarily disable your anti program virus and other security programs to see if that blocks emails appear?
Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking. First try checking not be (read-only) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive. If this is the case, start by checking the two boxes, in no other rerun.

New HP ink instl had no error in the window, yellow and magenta will not print
HP Officejet 6500. New HP ink cartridges installed successfully, no error message is displayed. Still yellow and magenta flow any color at all. Tried cleaning the sensor, does not. Not all troubleshooting on HP site referred only to 'error' messages, which I don't get.
There is a document for the resolution of the problems of print quality in the HP 6500 Officjet. This document can be found here.
Hope this helps to get your yellow and magenta works again.
