  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. (No DVD player). From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

  I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

  original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

  Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

  If you don't have a Windows 7 DVD to borrow, try to upload a picture:

  You change the content of the. ISO file and delete the ei.cfg file. After having edited burn it to a blank DVD disc or put it on a USB key. Startup, it will reveal all editions of Windows 7, select the Starter edition. More information in the following article on how to change the file ei.cfg

  Hello

  Please switch on and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
  In BIOS check if the HARD drive is recognized. The HARD drive should appear on the first page of the BIOS.
  If it is not recognized, it means that your HARD drive is dead.
  In this case, you will need to replace the HARD drive and install the system once more.

  You said you don t have the right recovery disk, here you can order one:

  No Visual on the screen.  The computer does not (noise) to turn on.

  All I can do is repeat my previous tips for you:

  If nothing appears at all, it seems to be a hardware problem.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  If it is not under warranty, contact a local and trusted computer repair shop.

  Good luck with it.

• Black screen appears whenever I start the laptop.

  Last week whenever I start up my Dell laptop computer, a black screen appears. I asked someone who knew with PC and he thought that it a defective power adapter. I tried to use it on just battery, no luck. At out the battery and the adapter just tried, without success. Adapter again sold, but I will assume that the adapter is not the issue.

  Sometimes it lights for a few seconds, but the black screen appears quickly before you can do something like get online.

  I held a flashlight the monitor and the screen is almost pure... If you look closely enough. Windows has loaded and you can see the wallpaper.

  Does anyone has any idea what caused this and how to fix it. The laptop has been barely used... perhaps 6 months at the most.

  Not sure if related but all updates are underway, antirvirus installed and running whenever the PC starts. Malware program executes and returns its own.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if it's something I can fix myself.

  Thank you

  Could be that the backlight of the lcd screen has failed. LCDs are sandwiches, with layer lcd sitting in front of a layer of back light. As you can see the Windows desktop without distinction when you look closely, the lcd layer seems to work like the graphics of the pc. Is the pc still under warranty - if so, take it back to the supplier.

  After 15 months my Toshiba A200 seems to have given up the ghost.

  I tried to put it on today and although the blue LED on hold came and the orange clear hard disk there was no other sign of life.
  I tried and tried, but it just wouldn't start and the screen did nothing but remains black.
  I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
  I have no memory material inserted or additional cards as a webcam. Everything worked fine until now.

  I'm not very technical so you know how to help, then please explain as simply as possible.

  I really appreciate any help you may be able to offer!

  > I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
  Why try to press F4?
  However, remove the battery, disconnect the AC adapter, wait up to an hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.

  If the laptop doesn t boot I think that the motherboard must be replaced. Ask your local ASP for help. They can order and swap the motherboard.

  Hi Julia,

   

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

   

  You are unable to print and get the error message.

   

  I imagine the frustration you feel when you are unable to print.

  This can happen due to connection problems, malicious content or third-party programs.

   

  1 have you tried all the Troubleshooting steps?

  2 is the computer, or a printer attached to a domain network?

  3. are you able to print from Notepad?

  4. what documents do you speak?

  5 is the full error message?

   

  To check if it's because of connection problems malware content follow the steps mentioned below:

   

  Method 1: Run the troubleshooter

   

  See the site:

  Open the printer Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

   

  Method 2: Scan the computer to remove all possible malicious content

  See the site:

  Microsoft safety scanner

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx .

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3: 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 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 3 in the article to restore 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).

   

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

• Cannot change the boot sequence in the bios

  Hello world!

  I use vmware fusion 3.1.1 (282344) (in fact has happened since I started from 3.0). A home edition of Windows XP is installed in the bootcamp partition and is used as the guest operating system. When I start Windows XP, it always first try to boot from the network, which takes about 1 min (this can be ignored by hitting the ESC key however). Even if I enter the bios settings, the starting sequences is not editable, where "everything on this menu is not editable in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system"is written. However, no password supervisor and of course, I'm not using the 'user '. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

  PS: a full Linux guest OS (installed in fusion and is wrapped up as a file) has no problem to change the boot sequence.

  Best regards

  PrestonXu

  All items of this menu cannot be changed in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system

  Weird, I never heard of this message before. You get this when you start merging, not in native mode? I would have asked if someone had made changes to the BIOS settings until you got to the virtual machine, except that you said it's Boot Camp, so I think it's less likely.

  You can try to change the boot order in the Virtual Machine > settings > advanced > boot device.

• OptiPlex 755 denies access to the boot sequence menu.

  Found a weird problem on an Optiplex 755 Desktop Tower System.

  I can change other values available on the system, but cannot get into the boot sequence menu.  The BIOS that was on the system was A17.

  Updated the A20. No change.

  Oh. It wasn't later. Upgrade to A21.  No change.

  Downgraded to A12.  No change. Faced A21. No change.

  Demoted in A10. No change. Faced A21. No change.

  Decommissioned at A01. No change. A21 encountered no change.

  If there is a password on the system when I tried to access the boot sequence menu it reminded me that I needed to type first. After correctly entering this value, the guest went away, but I still couldn't get into the boot sequence.

  I removed the battery cmos for 20 minutes while the system has been disabled, it put, started. No change.

  I replaced the battery cmos with that of another system.  No change.

  Tried another keyboard. No change.

  The jumper to reset the cmos.  No change.  A run the utilities on board.  No error could be found.

  If I hold the Enter key while on the boot sequence menu I can see the screen initial start-up and glimmers of it will not advance to the next screen.

  Unplugged the system and pressed the button for 30 to 60 seconds. No change.

  I think it's ripe for a replacement under warranty.

  I know that this response comes a little late, but for someone else has this problem...

  IT CAN BE FIXED!

  This problem seems to arise after a BIOS updated completely flashing properly. That leaves the user unable to change the boot device priority in BIOS, causing therefore the machine complaining that there, there is "No Boot Device available"

  Making level and the average standard BIOS downgrade do not seem to work; However with some switches it can be done.

  First of all, you need the BIOS first release, A01 (O755-A01. (EXE), currently available from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R164252

  Second, you will need also the latest version of the BIOS, A22 (O755-A22. (EXE), currently available from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2DWTY

  Lastly, you need a USB stick or hard drive which is able to boot the machine in DOS. It is recommended to use the free 'Rufus' tool to create a bootable FreeDOS. Rufus is currently available at https://rufus.akeo.ie/

  In addition, you may need to install jumper on the motherboard service mode; This repair was completed successfully with him helped, although it * might * work without it installed, although this has not been tested.

  First create a FreeDOS using Rufus bootable USB device. When complete, copy the two BIOS A01 (O755-A01. (EXE) and BIOS A22 (O755-A22. (EXE) to the root of the memory stick.

  Insert the memory stick into the computer, and then press F12 for BIOS. Boot from the USB key. Once at the DOS prompt, type:

  O755-A01 - wipeall - wipeclean

  Press on enter and follow the prompts on the screen. After the BIOS has been flashed, the computer must restart. Go into the BIOS and check the options under system boot sequence. The boot sequence should now not only display the name of your hard drive, but will be variable, allowing your computer to start normally. Set up your BIOS Setup to your liking (including date and time setting) and save it then & leave. After the reboot, press F12 again and start once more the USB device.

  Flash the BIOS A22 the standard way by typing O755-A22 pressing on enter. Follow the prompts on the screen. Once the BIOS has been flashed, check the settings of the BIOS again to make sure that the Boot Device menu is always available.

  Once finished, be sure to remove the rider of mode of service (if installed).

  FAQ

  Why it works?

  
  From what I can tell, the previous BIOS flashing tool includes switches that later versions are not. -wipeclean - and wipeall are an integral part of this fix works as they completely erasing all the BIOS settings that are not usually deleted when the BIOS is updated. For some reason, Dell has removed these BIOS update tools options later.

  In addition, the previous BIOS flashing tool actually flashes the BIOS itself DOS rather than rely on the BIOS RAM loading and then Flash with routines in the BIOS of the current system. I have no idea if that makes a difference in the process, but I imagine that it allows more options to pass to the routine of flashing.

  Sorry for the long post, but I hope this helps someone! Having recently put his hands on a couple of these machines and having the same problem, it's incredibly frustrating.
