• "Please select the operating system to start" when I don't have one

  I run Windows 7 64 bit.  I have no other operating system installed, and I have never, other than the XP "virtual PC" option of Windows 7.  I suddenly started getting the "Choose the operating system to start" screen when I turn on my PC.  Windows 7 is the only option given.  How can I do that, go away?

  You can use msconfig.exe, and then delete the unwanted entries BONES under the Startup tab be sure to create a system restore point! In Control Panel / System / Advanced / System Protection.

• Problem with Vista, a limited operation of the operating system to start

  Ill try too keep it as simple as possible without forgetting all the necessary details. Several weeks ago, I started having issues, crashed the computer (maybe thought that I still had a virus...) and I was on my way to return things together.  All functions were beginning to run because they were all back to normal, and it happened.

  Just beginning to return to normal, as I said.  One morning before work, I was doing the usual (check email, casual, no navigation, no new installs equipment or programs, etc.) and when I got back home I woke up the computer and all the usual icons on the bottom right toolbar disappeared except, load icon, network connects mcafee security and volume icon.  There's a new lil guy there USB symbol with a green check mark (deletion of material safely)

  I tried to open Internet Explorer and Itunes and I was invited with a window that read "what you want to KIKILA the file with" (itunes.exe, IE.exe and so on when I tried other programs), with oddly enough IE as the recommended option.  I was curious to see what happened and tried to open 'the file', IE was opened and then I was invited with a window as if I have been download an attachment and almost nothing would happen after that.  I turned off the computer and restarted and I had none of the usual routine... Reception centre, the weather bug... you get the idea.

  On what I can do... I can open AOL in the start menu only, I can open the control panel and use most of these requests and I can access help and Support (and IE will open this application... how I got here) and a few other select from the start menu, but everything is a program is pretty much off limits from the start menu or desktop.  As I said before that I did not install anything, no new downloads, hardware, etc.  I thought that my computer could have done an automatic restart after windows downloaded an update.

  What I tried.  Because I thought that an update might be the only thing that could have been performed, I started there.  I tried to go back to the conditions before a one update or approximately twice a week at a time and restart and try again.  No luck there, I went to help and support and tried a few things here.  I tried a full system restore and last known reboot and no luck there.

  Now that I've almost exhausted my limits with my literacy of the inner workings of a computer, I come here.  I could probably walk through a solution if possible, as long as I don't have serious technical help.  Or I can turn this into a big frisbee and repeat if nessescary ignite, but id rather not spend money if I have to.

  Thanks in advance.

• Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

  I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

  I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

  I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

  Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

  I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

  I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

  If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

  Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

  You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  solve your problem of malware or clean reinstall vista 1st - then upgrade

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  ____________________________________________________

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  However after restart "the same message reappears and I'm going round and round in circles. Any ideas please.

  Hi DreamMeng,

  You can try to use third party software to back up data and check.

  You can use your favorite search engine to navigate on the third-party data backup software and that the software allows to save data.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.".

  original title: 'Open with' problem...

  My office was attacked by malware. I have run virus scan and all updates that were available. When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.". There are recommended programs and other programs, but I'm fairly certain that none of them are correct. Can anyone help direct me in the right direction to solving this problem? Every program I try to open, translates into an opening by asking the same question, but the file name changes to whatever program I am trying to the window. Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  You may need to do a file at a time.
