Screensaver Vista Error Messages

I pushed the ctrl + alt + down arrow arrow and my screen is black then I pressed ctrl + alt + arrow pointing upwards and my screen got really big with a large font size, so I changed the resolution of the screen back to normal.  I left my dell inspiron 1525 for a few minutes and then when I came back to it, instead of my usual screen saver, he said "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or Direct3D-compatible video card.  Also, when I try to change the resolution of the screen now it won't let me or an error message appears.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

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.

If the above does not work:

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

Then:

Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

See you soon.

    As stated above I get this error message and can not do in SafeMode to rstore system dates back to an earlier era.

    I did the system of tapping F8 and tried all offered options of safe mode, but it does not open in any safe mode, just this error message

    I read a lot of forums and other people with a similar problem (but more than 2 years ago!) could be accessed in secure mode or had a Vista system drive which gave a repair option.

    I have neither.  Even the "External recovery Media" disc only allows me to do save and restart.  During the reboot it just goes straight to the error message.

    At the start, I have the option (via F2) for open System Utilities but couldn't see whatever it is in there that I thought might help.

    Hi howeclan,

    To resolve this problem, you need to have the drive of the installed operating system. You can see the following article in the knowledge base: the update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358

    You can contact the manufacturer of the computer to the disk, or you can also contact a store of assistive technology.

  • Halo: Combat Evolved for PC works only on Windows Vista - Error Message "" unload the debugger, and then try again."

    I'm having a problem running Halo: Combat Evolved on Windows Vista. I can insert the disc and install the game without problem. The problem is that when I try to launch the game, I get error message saying "" unload the debugger, and then try again." I tried to install some of Halo patches to see if that would fix the error (for example, 1.6 and 1.7), but when I try and open the patch .exe file I get an error message telling me to go to a microsoft Web site or try to update the game manually. In addition, I tried to contact Gearbox Software to see if they could help me, all they said was to contact Microsoft.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the game does not work for me and how can I make it work?

    Let me know, thanks. :)

  • After re-installing Vista: error message "Windows doesn't detect any hardware networking".

    On another thread Microsoft Answers, I was advised to do an "inplace upgrade" to Vista to solve a problem I had with the opening of Word documents.

    I followed the instructions but was unable to do the upgrade in place of Vista.

    (The 'Upgrade' option has been blocked during the installation process.  And there is no other choice available "Troubleshooting", even if the directions had mentioned that this could be an option.  There is no workaround solution mentioned about how to proceed where it upgrade when the 'upgrade' option has been blackened.)

    So, I did a clean install of Vista - after saving all my files on an external drive, of course.

    This fixed the initial problem that I ask.

    Now, however, I can't access the internet after you complete this process.  I tried via wireless and services to broadband.

    Reads the error message: "Windows doesn't detect any hardware networking."

    How do I fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • Halo 2 Vista Error Message "invalid product key".

    I bought Halo 2 for Vista last week. I installed, updated with the latest patch and connected with my Live account. When the program tries to download my Live profile it gave me the error "invalid product key". I contacted the seller on Amazon and told him my problem. He contacted Microsoft and verify that the product key was valid and he told me to reinstall and make sure that all software is up-to-date. I grabbed a spare hard drive and install a new copy of Vista and done all updates to Windows. Then I installed the latest drivers for video card, I installed Halo 2. I downloaded and installed the latest patch for Halo 2 and the last program of Windows Live. After all this (about 3 hours), I still get the same message. Anyone at Microsoft have a solution to this? I get the message after logging in to my live account inside Halo 2. I googled the question and it seems to be quite common, however, I have yet to see a fix. Help, please.

    tan7655,
    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.

  • !! 0xc0190036! 2665/49693 (Solitaire.exe) following Win Vista error message updated SP1 to SP2.

    Currently, I use Win Vista SP1. Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) yesterday by following the instructions of WINDOWS UPDATE. I then clicked on restart the computer and my world collapsed...
    This is what happened:
    The PC has begun to restart. A black screen came up with a line of top, showing the different numbers of fast scrolling. Then the line has frozen with the message:! 0xc0190036! 2665/49693 (Solitaire.exe).

    As a user of the computer without any technical knowledge, I tried various things like a hard reset and also using external manufacturer to start Recovery CD. After 7 hours of grief and panick, I managed to get the computer going again to return to the previous version of the software before installation of Vista SP2.

    I hesitate now to install SP2 until microsoft can explain what is happening with this pack sotware and how to avoid this problem doesn't happen again on my pc.

    Hello

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode. If the problem persists not in safe mode and check if the problem persists in the boot.

    Method 1:

    Follow these steps:

    1. start-> type MSCONFIG and press enter-> start.

    2. find the DLCGCATS file and uncheck (disable).

    3 re-boot.

    4 problem disappears at startup.

    Please note this file belongs to Dell and I believe that they have granted a new driver that will also solve the problem. Be sure to update all of your drivers if you are using a Dell PC.

    Method 2: Clean boot

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the following site:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 article to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

    Hi Michael,

    You're talking about recovery disk from the manufacturer created from the computer recovery partitiion or are you talking about a generic recovery for repairs disk (making it impossible to reinstall the operating system)?

    If the recovery disk from the manufacturer, please contact technical support from the manufacturer for assistance that the process of creating a disk of the partition recovery is their process and not Microsoft and varies by manufacturer and sometimes even my computer within this manufacturer model.  We do not know how to deal with each type or how to handle a problem such as you experience with this process - even if we knew that the manufacturer make and model specific to computer which you did not (but with which we might be able to provide specific links to the manufacturer).
