• Desktop do not Come Up - just a black screen.

  I had an error in the windows Explorer and windows shows just a black screen.  I am able to open the Task Manager, open the switch user option, etc. After doing ctrl + alt + delete.  Windows does not continue on the desktop. I can't open internet explore via the Task Manager run special command (or go to websites like microsoft support).  The start bar too is not available and no desktop icons appear.  It looks like a problem with a MSWin update.  Help, please.

  I use Windows 6 6002 SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 5.  Thank you

  Hello islem.

  1. what was the error message from Windows explore, that you have received?

  2 did you recently install Windows updates on the computer?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Check if you can access the desktop by typing explorer.exe using the Task Manager.

  If you are able to access the desktop, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  If you are unable to access the desktop then boot in safe mode then run clean boot.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode.

  Try the steps below to perform the clean boot on the computer.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  When I start my laptop, it goes through all the loading screens (Windows Vista etc.) then sticks to a black screen with the mouse icon... I somehow managed to try a restore of the system by a few points, but they all failed a moment I can't even find this option.

• I just got a black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Original title: OS not real question?

  Well, I bought a computer off Craig's list this week. Yes, I know this isn't the safest place to get a computer, but what's done is done. The current operating system of the computer is Win7. However I just got the black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine". I looked at the back of the computer and saw that he has a real sticker Win XP Pro. So is there anyway I can just download XP Pro on this computer and be good from there?

  Thank you
  KnightChain

  Check with the manufacture of the computer to see if you have a "recovery partition" and how to use it to restore XP or if they still have the support of Windows XP available with they can send you to usually a small fee.

• Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).

  Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.

  How can I get Windows 7 to do a normal boot without having to access the Boot Menu each time?

  Thank you.

  Need a bootable floppy which has then repairs itself.

• WIN8 - no desktop, black screen with the mouse pointer. Manager tasks and the login screen work.

  As usual I left my computer and after a few minutes, he fell asleep. Next morning, I had moved to the mouse, computer wakes, but I got a black screen with the mouse pointer. I hit CTRL + Alt + Delete and screen with Task Manager option appeared. I stop computer and rebooted. Welcome screen and logon is displayed. After you enter the password and click on submit that the screen becomes black with only the pointer visible mouse. I don't have not installed anything recently. Can you help me find my office?

  OK, I had the same problem. I thought that if you have a pointer and can launch Manager tasks and all programs through its file > new task, then the hull works correctly. No office and no taskbar mean that something is wrong with explorer.exe. Now, he has corrupted not necessarily, may not properly launched.

  Here's what I did:

  1. I opened the Task Manager, the Details tab

  2. I killed all explorer.exe on the list

  3. just to be safe, I also tried to kill dwm.exe but it will be may not be necessary (it never goes away)

  4. I started the new instance of explorer.exe via file > run

  And voila, I had the desktop and the taskbar.

  It will be useful.

• When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new faster way to loading Web pages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still tweaks to the Mozilla developers make this.

  There is a known issue that Mozilla works very hard to fix: If you have black pages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  To disable hardware acceleration

  • Click the menu button

    

    then select Options.

  • In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.

  Now, quit Firefox, wait a few seconds and start normally.

  Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also collecting more information on the question would require that you fill out this survey

• I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the camera to MacBookPro. Any ideas?

  I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?

  Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:

  - iOS: do not respond or does not light

  -Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

  How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

  -If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.

  -Try a different cable

  -Try on another computer

  S ' there is still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar is in order.
