Problem of Windows 7 logon with the message "invalid pointer".

Separated from this thread.

Hello Mann,

I have the same problem with my laptop, it's a 450 HP. It happened to me when I was updating the software of HP. If you had any other ideas so please can you let me know.

Concerning

Midgi.

Hi Midgi,

According to your post this question took place, when you try to update the HP software.

What is the software you are trying to update?

I think that this problem can be caused by this software, in this case, we can try to open the system restore, hoping that you can get on the desktop. And restore your computer to an earlier date when everything was working well.

To start the system restore see link below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

System Restore warning: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

Hope this information helps, for assistance please answer.

  • Many problems with Windows, Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)

    Many problems with Windows, Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server), Internet Explorer browser does not.

    Hi Rachel,

    I understand that when you try to connect to the Internet, you get error "Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)", what other issues you are faced with Windows?

    • Using a cable or a wireless Internet connection?

    DNS (Domain Name System) translates the URL in IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (and vice versa). For example, if you type http://www.microsoft.com into the address bar in your web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the URL to an IP address so that your computer can find the Microsoft web server.
