• Windows Vista startup problems

  Hi all

  I use an old laptop Dell Studio with Vista and I have problems trying to start. My suspicion is a questionable download has screwed the hard drive or I'm missing some drivers.

  What is happening, it is start the computer to the windows startup page and that's all. This shows only the loading bar going around constantly. When I try to start safe mode, it arrives at crcdisk.sys file and stops. The diagnostic test gives a pass for everything except the hard disk, to whom he gives the error code 2000-0146.

  Anyone has any suggestions on what to try next? If I can find the CD I'll try a system reset but was hoping to save the files that I have on my hard drive. Or reinstall the drivers would be worth?

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  A download will not destroy the hard drive, while the age will be.

  That the error code 2000-0146. When you use the Dell diagnostics indicates a hard failure/failed.

• Vista startup problems - corrupt registry?

  Hoping someone can help here. My wife has a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Vista Home Premium installed. The other day, the laptop has a beep and shut down. Now it won't start - it gets the Toshiba screen then goes to a white cursor blinking at the top left. Pressing F8 does not open to the top of the Recovery Console, I downloaded a program of Recovery Console and burned on a disc. I can choose to boot from the DVD drive and the recovery console opens upward.
  I tried the Start Up repair, but still encounter an error that reads "the breakpoint of the exception: a breakpoint has been reached (0 x 80000003)" occurred in the application at location 0x739c746a: click ok to finish. ""
  It will then open a box indicating that Windows cannot fix the problem. In detail, he lists the following:

  Problem Signature 01 external media
  Signature of the problem 02 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000
  Signature 03 6 problem
  Signature of the 04 262148 problem
  Problem Signature 05 corrupt registry
  Problem Signature 06 corrupt registry
  Signature of the 07 32 problem
  Signature 08 3 problem
  Problem Signature 09 registry Rollback
  Signature of the 10 32 problem

  I also ran chkdsk from the command prompt, but which found no errors.
  There is no other backup disk and I don't have a copy of Vista with the laptop.

  Any advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

  Hello StuartBrodie,

  If we receive beep codes on commissioning and startup repair is to reach breakpoints, then we would like to hire Toshiba on this issue to run their hardware diagnostics.

  Let us know.

  Best regards

• Vista startup problems

  I can't start my computer. It gets to a point where it gives options repair or normal startup recovery. She stops shortly after each response. I learned there were others with the same problem on vista.

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

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  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.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

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

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  See you soon.

• Code error message 193 when I try to run the Vista startup program.

  I've been running this program for months, but now it will not work.  It calls for an error code 193. and CreateProcess failed.  I deleted the program and reloaded from 3 different sources but without success.  It doesn't work if I boot in safe mode.

• connection after the vista update problems

  After that windows vista updates, restarts and configures, I can't seem to login screen. I type the correct password, but the screen only flashes for a second and watch the blue progress ring, but then comes back to the right of the login screen. I have to restart and run system restore just to connect, this happened last week with the same update and is quite a nuisance. Updates include:
  (important)
  Update for Windows Vista (KB971029)

  Windows malicious software removal tool - March 2011 (KB890830)

  (optional)
  Updated the Realtek for Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller driver

  -Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

  Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419)

  Hi Raziel,

  First of all, we will do two important things:

  1. DON'T download or install updates from Windows Update for Realtek and Synaptics (or any other device drivers).  Instesd of get them through Windows Update, go to the computer or Web sites of the device manufucaturer to get the latest update and install instead.  Hide these two Windows updates so they don't mind again.  Unless expressly stated by the manufuacturer for updates from the Windows Update driver, always bring manufacturers instead.  They are the cause of many problems of update.

  2. in prior to starting the updates (and for each 3 other updates and driver updates), create a System Restore Point.  Of allows to install the other three updates one at a time and manually instead of through Windows Update.  Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx and look for the KB number and download the update appropriate for your version of Vista and install it, and restart and make sure that all is well before you more on the following.  If we have the same problem, use the restore system back out of it and post back here with the specific update that won't install manually as well as any error information, you can find the problem.  If we can reduce it to one, we will have a better chance of coming up with a solution.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Try to remove the Vista startup program

  I'm trying to remove a start Arcsoft program.

  When I call the windws supporter program, the "delete" button is gray and cannot be used, by preventing the removal.

  This Arcsoft program has an annoying pop-up that appears permanently on the screen and I'm trying to get rid of

  Go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then look at the services and startup items tabs and you should be able to disable it.  Many other things do not need to run at startup, and you can easily improve the performance of the computer by blocking them.

• How can I work around Vista startup folder?

  I have a big program in my startup folder, and Vista has problems to start properly and the launch of the great program.  How can I bypass programs in the Vista startup folder?  In now shift?

  Hello

  Many programs have their choice as to if you want to start at startup or not.

  You would normally open the program > tools > Options > General etc. > uncheck the box "Run at Windows startup" or words like that.

  And you can take them out of boot using one of the following two methods:

  "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

• MS Vista startup repair couldn't fix the problem automatically

  Hello

  A little history - MS Vista was trying to install updates when the delivered system running. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked very well.

  When I re-started again after using it, even once, he tried to install updates. He failed. So I rebooted and it worked fine again. I went through the whole process several times in recent weeks.

  Then the other day, I got this screen start that says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. Since then, I can't get the computer started.

  The details of the problem are shown as:
  Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

  In addition, all tests have been completed successfully, with the same error code = 0x0

  First cause is to the states that "Startup Repair tried several times but still not determine the cause of the problem."

  If I have to re - install the operating system again... I was not given a CDROM as a HP laptop... How can I actually re - install, when I do not have the CDROM?

  Also, I have some very important folders on the hard drive and I want to recover the files first before reinstalling the operating system...

  Any advice on how I can get before I have to destroy it by reinstalling the operating system would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks to you all.

• Problems galore after installing the Vista SP2

  Once I installed SP2 on my Acer 6920 g, my sound card no longer works. I followed the "Fix It" solution and update its drivers, which solved the problem and his return. When I stopped the machine, he started rebotting, begin a strange "xp" mode, before launching Acer Arcade Deluxe, a media programme. This problem for about two hours, stop, reboot in this program can close again in a loop on and on. Through to hold the power button on the laptop, I managed finally to get the machine to stay 'off '.

• How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

  I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

  I am trying to repair a laptop from a friend, but I'm new to this kind of thing and it's a problem starting. I don't think I have a hardware problem because I have the video but I can't load the operating system and I ranstartup repair, but he could not fix the problem. I received this message:

  Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

  Signature of the problem:
  Problem event name: StartupRepairV2
  Signature of the problem 01: Auto failover
  "' 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000

  The problem started when my friend has installed updates, unfortunately I do not know what they are, and she said that she did not bring any modification other than recently. If you need more info I can try to help, but I'm kinda at a loss of what to do something without possible srewing up.

  What is the startup problem?  Are there any error messages, and if so what is the EXACT text (including all codes)?  Which version of Vista is?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!
