Re: Vista doesn't show log on screen - Satellite P200-1K9G

I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 1K9G.

When I start my laptop, watch the boot screen, then the Vista loading screen displays and then not much after that, sometimes, I get my mouse cursor appears, but that's all.
I can't open a session, because the log on screen simply does not appear.

I fear that this may be a hardware problem... rather than a problem with Vista, although I have not made major changes that should affect the way it starts. I did however, download the latest ATI drivers, but after a reboot, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

In addition, my laptop recently started producing a static sound if no sound was produced through a program, i.e. iTunes.

I tried to start in Safe Mode, but my knowledge of computers is limited, can someone help me?

Kind regards
Trib

Hello

You can try using the Advanced Boot Menu.
If you press F8 immediately after that the laptop was turned on then an advanced boot menu should appear offering boot options more.

One of the options should be the last known good Configuration (Advanced)
Check if you can use this option.
More details can be found here on this page of MS:
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/f9c50a72-04EC-4088-9fd4-a4f979eef5a71033.mspx

But in the worst cases, the laptop must be recovered again.

  • A gray screen with Windows Vista once loading reached log on screen-no visible mouse

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit and a NVidia GeForce 7300 GT video card.  Since yesterday, when I try to start the PC, the display is OK until just before the log on screen (when the Green loading bar disappears and the user account selection page will appear).

    Once he reached this point display is just grayed out (non-uniform color, some variations in tone on the page).  No icons or the mouse pointer is visible.

    In safe mode I tried to restore the system to a date where he worked well, but it did not help.  I disabled the display adapter and can then load Windows ok, but the display is naturally very ugly.  I downloaded the drivers for the video card, then activated the display adapter, but this takes back me to the original problem.

    Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Thanks for the reply.  It was all down to the graphics card.  After connecting through Mode safe, I turned off the "display adapter" or a graphics card.

    I then loaded windows normally and everything was ok, but the display is obviously affected.  I will revive the graphics card but after the reboot, the same problem appeared.

    I then loaded Windows again through safe, disabled the display 'adapter' once again, reloaded windows in normal and DELETED mode the display adapter.  Then, I downloaded the latest driver for the graphics card.  I received an error message saying that the material was not present.  However, the restart, the graphics card was detected, installed and now everything is OK A.

    Phew, a moment I thought I had a virus.  Ive been advised that there is probably a conflict between the graphics card and software?

  • Increases brightness screen Satellite P200-1EE

    Hello, I received by Satellite P200-1EE with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Some time ago I found that the screen itself become very bright. Usually after one or two hours, sometimes faster after coming back from the screen saver. Yet it's brighter, then I can set up using windows options or functional keys, I see not too much on the screen then. What can cause this problem?

    I hope that there is no hardware problem. Help, please.

    Hello

    This means that the brightness of the display will change automatically?

    Well, it's really hard to say why this is happening. Normally, you set a certain point for the brightness of the screen in each power profile, for example, symmetrical or optimized battery.
    Check it!

    Also, make sure that all Windows updates are installed.
    In addition, I would recommend updating BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    Good bye

I've tried different USB ports on my new PC, but I could not be able to get it recognized by Vista yet. I searched on the internet and most said about changing the drive letters and fitness solutions in form, but my problem is that disk external drive does not appear in the "Disk management" section at all in any form.

  • Satellite P200 screen is eventually died - now very dark

    Hello

    My laptop screen (Satellite P200) is eventually died.
    He had been much flicker when opening the laptop but settle.

    The screen is very dark and you can see just the windows etc. I can't connect a second monitor and run from that.

    -Is the screen, backlight went?
    -I'm out of warranty, how long does it take for an extended warranty through? The site has offered me one for relief.

    Any information would be great.
    Thank you
    Simon.

    Hello

    First you will not get an extended warranty, if you haven't bought it.
    If you warranty is no longer valid, then you will have to pay for the repair.

    Now a few words about your question;
    I think that your FL inverter is dead. The problem described in job ads seems to be a fault of inverter FL. This small part controls the backlight of the screen and causes this problem.

    I recommend contacting the technician of laptop (certified partner) and I will ask the Fl inverter assessment and if necessary I would work out a replacement.

  • How to block all the videos and ads on all the site as how it is when it shows the gray screen when the flash player needs to be updated

    Hi there please help me. I didn't have this problem until two days ago when the browser updated itself. I have the youtube video downloader add on and always use it. I'm on a data plan and it used to block videos and add ads which I like, but now is not because of the update, I came back to the old version, but it did not help and I downloaded the flash but block it does not work. It makes the slow loading of pages and uses a large amount of data that I tried many things like all the plugins of switching to add it on the menu to activate ever and it doesn't quite work. Before it used to show the gray screen, where it says "the flash player is out of date" on videos and commercials, but he does not do this because of the update so please help me to do it again.

    I solved. On the firefox support page they will give you information about the HTML5 player and they say there that firefox uses it only 38 version before so I'm 36 version and it worked in blocking it as before.

    So its all sort and if everyone wants to do the same thing go to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ and all previous versions will be there.

    Hi Admin,
    When I was playing the game and my 3D PC show the black screen and the sound of noise. And then I can't move anything and I can restart only. What is this problem? I don't know why? Please help me what should I do.
    My PC specs are as follows

    Aspire M5800 (Q84MR375) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium, 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q8400 (2.66 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, bus front at 1333 MHz), 3 GB Ram, 750 GB S - ATA HDD, DVD SuperMulti Double Layer drive, Nvidia GeForce GT220 graphics (1 GB dedicated RAM) card, Wireless LAN, keyboard and wireless mouse with LCD 23 '' monitor.

    phoechan,
    More than likely if this started after you upgrade to Windows7 then you might have to update your hardware drivers.  Go to the websites of the manufacturers of hardware for your PC and get all the latest drivers for Windows 7 (video, sound, chipset, etc...).  If they don't have Windows 7 drivers you may have questions until they create them.  You can also try to boot your PC and also right click on the game .exe file and change the compatibility mode to Vista or XP.

  • Photo Gallery of window 'import' options shows a white screen

    De : Rogier

    Message: I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and have a problem with the photo gallery. I can no longer change the import options. File-> Options-> Import, shows a white screen. This happens only to one of my user accounts, either one works great! I guess that's a result of PCTools Desktop Maestro of the recent registry cleaning. Someone knows how to solve this problem.

    From: oscar

    If you used a registry cleaner, and if you have problems with some files of the operating system, then the fastest solution to this problem would be to open a new standard user account, transfer your files and records of personnel to this new account data, and then close the standard user account that has the corrupted OS files.
