  Hi Frankie Barkere,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. don't see no message in the box square on the desktop?

  Method 1

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

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

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  Method 2

  If the problem does not persist in safe mode then he isa possibility that some third-party programs installed on the computer is the origin of the problem in normal mode. I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• The Cliq is stuck on the start screen.

  Hey guys, after a normal day of use with my Cliq from 07:00 I got around 17:00 and put it on the charger, as it was almost dead, I went to charge less than an hour with it and now it is stuck on the start screen of Motorola with the small black bar on the left. I charge my phone all night every night and do not use it much at all, but it lasts and I wasn't there to look at what had happened, so I don't know if there was any discrepancy prior software other than seeds from basic mentioned by others.

  Charles, you are still able to boot into Recovery Mode and learn the triangle with the exclamation point? If you can, press the keys ALT and L at the same time to access the Recovery Menu.

• Journ.e Touch suspended on the start screen

  My Journ.e Touch just doesn't start. She is new and fully charged (about a month, rarely used). When I turn on the Tablet, it does not start the operating system, it can stay on the start screen for hours, or until the battery is flat. I can't stop, and even make the reset does not solve the problem. It worked fine before, also, today I managed to once, but now - nothing...
  What can I do?
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello thomas.b,

  You should do a firmware update to version E1.1.00.

  After that, the problem should be solved.

• I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

  I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

  Replace your hard drive.

  You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

  The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

• Enter the Recovery manager from the start screen

  My HP dv7-4296nr laptop, I have an included recovery partition. But I can't access Recovery Manager in the start screen by pressing F11, when I pussed, it starts only to Windows normally, although in the lower left conner, it displays "F11."... System Recovery '. Only when I activate the recovery partition and restart, I can get into the Recovery Manager. Could someone told me what I have to do to fix this?

  Hello

  Before trying the suggestion below, make sure that you have backed up all your personal files, etc.

  If you created your set of recovery DVDs, you can use them to reinstall the operating system that this process will also recreate the recovery Partition and so I hope to see the f11 feature.

  Kind regards

• How to increase the number of lines of the App on the start screen

   I use the Lenovo Yoga powered by Windows 8 RT. When I turn on my computer and it goes to the start screen, 3 rows of Apps are displayed. However, every now and then, for some reason, it displays 4 rows of Apps. I usually adjust my Apps to suit line 4 because I prefer that display but, it always changes back to 3 ranks.   
  I am sure I have the correct screen resolution and my computer sleeps 4 rows of apps on the home screen, but I'm just not how to do it. I have 4 rows Apps displayed permanently and not only sometimes by chance. I would really appreciate if someone could give me a step by step on how to do. Thank you.

  This Friday, October 18, free to 8.1 Windows Update will be downloaded to your computer and your splash screen settings can be adjusted to display more lines.
