• Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

  Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

  What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

  start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

  When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

  An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

  So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

• "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

  Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hi JohnHorky,

  Step 1:

  First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

  Step 2:

  Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

  f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

  Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

  Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

  h. close all applications and restart the computer.

  Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  Step 3:

  Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

  I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

  Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Vista will not start. Verifying the integrity of system files and repair has no ErrorCode = 0 x 2 HELP PLEASE!

  ASUS PC, Windows Vist Home premium, all updates.

  Out of the blue, it will not start.  Access the start scrolling (the one just before logon) screen and it just stops.

  Twice I ran Vista check utility.  The first time, I chose to do the system restore to previous state.  Restarted.  Always off.  The second time, it took much longer and from what I can see.  All TESTS PASS, except one:

  Repair action: repair and checking of the filesystem Integrety

  Result: failed. Error code = 0 x 2

  Time required: 6206818ms

  I get no blue screen, I can't even any screen!

  I'm triying to repar because I have several costly software titles that link the authorization key code to a key hardware and software installation.  I don't know that I could reinstall if I get a code (randomly?) different generated software.

  I don't know about i-tunes and other content downloaded my wife has such as MP3 files and audio books.

  Thanks for any help!

  The test fails (SFC) checks for corruption in the files on your system.  If she can't even complete, she suggests the Vista all system needs to be re-installed - but you have already done this and you still have the problem.

  In fact, look like a hardware problem.  Here are some troubleshooting guidelines hardware that can help (but probably not for this question as what you really need, it is a replacement for test):http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.  Frankly, I think it's time to take the system to a repair facility of good reputation for the service computer (or to return to the manufacturer for repair - costs, schedule, guarantees and make a decision).  I don't know what hardware component.

  If you can, try to back up your data before you import it it because they will probably wipe the drive clean during the process. You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (perhaps done on another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, try slaving the drive to another system and access the data in this way.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Vista will not start on my laptop, tried many different things and nothing seems to work

  Hello.  Before we begin, I want to say that I spent the previous two days, researching my problem and have not yet find something that describes my specific problem...

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario C700, I received my mother-in-law a few years ago.  It is installed with Vista (SP2 I believe, I can't confirm as you'll see below) and I got Vista point random other problems experienced, but I've usually been able to find an adequate solution - up to and including restoring to a previous restore point.

  Two days ago my laptop decided not to start Windows.  When I turn on the laptop, I get the usual Compaq splash showing the different options that are accessible through the F keys.  The screen then goes, after displaying the message "ready for the OS to boot".  It then goes to a white screen that displays a flashing cursor (like a prompt command, just without the drive/directory indicator).  The hard drive light flashes every 30 seconds, or so, but it is y no movement in the HARD drive that I can not hear it or feel run as I usually can.

  At this point, my first step was to use the option of recovering your system of the Compaq splash screen, but leading to the same blinking cursor and a white screen.  Then I went into the BIOS and confirmed the boot order was OK and ran the Self Test on the HARD drive and memory, which gave rise to no problems found.

  It was my first choice because, as you have probably guessed, the laptop came preloaded with Vista and my mother-in-law had no startup disk.  As a result, I found a boot/recovery iso disk for Vista SP2/SP3 and burned it on a CD.  When I boot from it, I get the initial page, offering to install Vista with a link to the System Recovery Options.

  The first option, I ran has the Startup Repair.  It only detected no problems with the commissioning.

  Then, I used the system restore option, trying to restore to each of the 7 restore points, of which none has solved the problem.

  Finally, I opened the command prompt and tried a chkdsk c: command found no problems with the HARD drive.  I didn't run the command chkdsk c:/f/r as read-only mode has not found no problem to be fixed.  I was reading a few forums different tech and found a post suggesting to try the sfc/scannow command...  I tried, you enter at the prompt like:

  X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW (X:\ is my DVD drive) (Oh and I am the administrator, I believe.)  The title bar of the command prompt window displays "Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe")

  He returned "start system analysis. This process will take time. "Then, about 5-10 seconds and I get"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation ".  So I tried to change my directory to C:\ and run the same command and got the same results.  Then I tried to go to D:\ which is a small partition of my HARD drive and it ran there, with the same results.  So, I tried the following commands:

  Damaged X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW = c: \ /offwindir = c:\windows

  Damaged X:\Sources>SFC/SCANNOW = d:-/offwindir = d:\windows

  These are not returned the "start scanning system. This process will take some time. "message, but they returned the same message from Windows Resource Protection.

  Finally, I removed the battery, disconnect the AC adapter, pressed the power button in the hope to evacuate any overage charges into the motherboard, waited 5 minutes, plugged the adapter back, turned on and still have the same problem.  Other forums started suggesting withdrawal and re - insert RAM chips, disconnect and reconnect the drive of HDD or DVD and other hardware items that I really hope I don't have to deal with - I'm kind of klutsy when it comes to playing with the material and I really don't want to take the risk of breaking something.

  Anyone, anywhere, has all the possible suggestions?  I don't have an Installation of Vista disc, nor do I have the original product key code, so I can't reinstall Vista.  I have not the slightest semblance of Vista to load, even the F8 key to appear the option of safe mode because the laptop is never to the loading screen, so I can't try to download/install updates to windows.  What I do then, short by using the "Restore the whole PC" option in the system recovery?  If I use this option, it will scan all my files and folders or it works as the restoration system, where he erases only the updates and software installed since Vista was initially loaded on the PC?

  Hello

  I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

  Method 1:

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs:

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

  Method 2:

  Try to perform the verification and startup repair if it helps:

• Satellite A300 Vista - will not start cd/DVD with backup

  Hello world

  I have a big problem with Toshiba a300. Windows Vista is not starts.

  Watch only the menu with 2 options: first "fix the system" - when I choose this option 10 seconds later I see messeage: click OK to turn off the computer.
  When I choose the second option in my laptop restart every time.

  I tried after turning on the computer, press F8, but all the option in this menu do NOT fix the problem.
  I have no CV/DVD to my computer.
  After the first time I don't burn DVD with backup.

  I have really now how can I install system with recovery patriction. What softwere I need and how do I do it?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
  In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

  But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

• Vista will not start after update 04/09/09

  I have a HP tablet PC laptop vista a little home less than 2 years. I downloaded the updates, I unfortunately don't know what they where. My laptop was asked to restart I did. It turn off fine, but when he started toward the top of screen never came. It was late and I went to bed, thinking it was just a long update or something. The next morning, my screen is always black. I tried to start, but nothing happened. In the end I had to pull the battery to make it stop. I started again and the fan kicks on, and the monitor of the black stop at the lit on black as he was about to start, but nothing came on the monitor no splash screen not vista with the loading bar, nothing comes to any delay, not a pixel, not even a beep. I thought that the monitor was bad, so I tested the monitor by plugging it to my PC monitor of office still nothing on this screen, so I'm sure that computers portable monitor is good as all LEDs are lit and all. Food is good, I tested the battery on my friends computer of the same brand, it is fully charged. I can even things power out of usb. The only thing besides it not starting not not the least, is that the cd drive does not open. I brought out a cd holder thing and put my boot in her drive in the hope that something would come on the screen, but still absolutely nothing in black only. I tried to hit all the buttons f not one has nothing. I don't see anything else to do. I don't know how to test anything without any kind from screen. I backed everything up, so if I could get it just to run the boot disk I would take if I had to. Can anyone think of anything to do for her?

  If you have no boot at startup screen (Logo of Acer, DEll, etc.), what happens before the operating system starts.

  Your graphic/video control what comes on the screen.

  I would contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

• Vista will not start after start or restart.

  Since last week, when I first start the computer, change user or log out or reboot, Vista does not start after the log in password stage (after accepting the password). I usually have to restart the computer twice so he could finally enter the Office of habit and I can work as usual.

  I tried to let the computer some time at this point to work through and start normally, but it does not work and I have to restart.

  I recently updated my anti-virus (BitDefender) for the 2010 edition.

  I don't know if is the recent update to Vista which is originally or not.

  Uninstall Bit Defender and see if that fixes things. Antivirus programs use low-level drivers which can sometimes cause problems. If the uninstallation of Bit Defender work, use a different antivirus. I recommend ESET NOD32 (commercial) or Avast free. If Bit Defender Uninstalling does not help, then you may experience hardware problems. Failing power supply or hard drive that often produces symptoms such as you describe.

• Vista will not start. Loop continues to the Recovery Manager.

  I can't cross the Recovery Manager.  I tried a restore.  I tried to boot into Safe made.  All roads lead to Recovery Manager.  I get a blue screen that begins with the System Recovery Options

  For any info re .fbw format files backed up, contact HP directly.

  You have several choices for the way to resettlement; read the info below...

  And is also included in this response data recording methods.

  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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

  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.

  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.

• Re: Vista will not start after the installation of update

  About 2 days ago I updated 2 Optional updates through windows update. It was - Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
  and somethind to do with sound hdmi (don't know why I got this update ' cos I do not have a hdmi and I accidentally installed it as well).
  After that installs Vista won't start so I did a restore of the system in safe mode, and she came back to life, however, isn't in better shape, will probably not not to install Vista all over again.
  So be careful when you install these updates.

  It's weird that they came with windows update. As much I know usually windows update does not update if not needed harddrivers...

  You need to update your hardware drivers from the Drivers Toshiba download site and not from Windows update because no one knows if they interfere with the drivers of Toshiba.
