• Windows XP Setup hangs at «Setup starts Windows...» "after all the required drivers on the CD loading.

  My Pentium III 1.0 GHz computer (394 MB of RAM, disk hard 500 GB) crapped out on me after that I loaded soft PicturePerfect of Nikon.  For some reason, the Nikon software ruined my registry.  Now, whenever I turn on my PC, I get the BSOD with error "Unpaginated IPF in space".   I can't start my computer in safe mode or "start Windows normally" as I get the same error msg almost immediately without seeing the Windows logo and progress bar.  I can start my PC using the "last good known Configuration" and he will be starting the Microsoft Windows logo with the progress small downstairs bar, so I know that the hard drive is fine.  Then the screen goes black while WinXP is loading from the hard drive, and then the BSOD with error page comes up.  I suspect that there is incorrect data in a critical area of the drive where Windows requires data start correctly.   In the meantime, I can't boot into Windows at all because all Windows options lead to BSOD with the msg of error page.

  I resigned myself to reloading Windows XP from scratch, but I can't seem to get my original installation CD to not work.  I've reconfigured my BIOS to Boot CD, and then start the original Windows XP CD.  He reads and load it all very well, and then it hangs at «Setup starts Windows...» "I thought he had to test the equipment, but it remained in this State for 3 hours!  The "Welcome to Windows Setup" screen never came.

  I thought to use FDISK to the new drive of 500 GB and formatting on the errors on the hard drive, but I can't do since I can't complete the installation process.  I feel stuck in a bad situation where I can't enter BACK to FDISK and FORMAT my C: drive.

  Pls help!

  Thank you!

  Here's what I did and learned:

  1. I replaced my DVD burner with my CD - R original delivered with the machine and disconnected the 2nd CD - R.

  2. I disconnected my 2nd hard drive, in part to minimize the current of the power supply, but also to keep clean and simple start between a (hard) C: and D: (CD - R) drives.

  3. I re-tested my SDRAM using test mode full and deep.  To my surprise, I found not 1 but 2 SDRAM bad!  I replaced the original SDRAM 128 MB and re-directed tests of memory with the Diagnostocs memory of Windows and Memtest86 +.  All the 512 MB of RAM is perfect now.

  4. I started to new WinXP and have the msg «Setup starts Windows...» ».  This time, I waited for about 15 minutes and to my surprise the configuration screen came!  There is a long period of time between the msg «Setup starts Windows...» "at the start, and when the configuration menu actually comes to the screen.  I was able to partition and format my hard drive.

  Lessons learned:
  -Maintain the number of devices to a minimum so that it keeps unknown hardware failures to confuse the troubleshooting questions.
  -Test the RAM in deep test mode is important and test several times.
  -It could be more than 1 Bank of RAM can be bad so carefully test RAM.
  -Wait for the next Windows installation menu.  It is not instantaneous, but it will come sooner or later.

  Thank you!!!

It just shows the message "Setup starts Windows. I waited for 4-5 hours, but it does not further. Someone please tell me what could be the reason for this.

  Please run the F12 diagnostics tests may be a module of RAM or your HARD drive is defective:

• Blue screen Windows Setup hanging from the message "Setup starts Windows.

  I have a M2n SLI chipset and my computer came stock with vista 64-bit, after losing all the functions of the operating system because of a problem of .net I have tried to restore without result.  I got down to the wire with whiping the drive and now I am trying install Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1 (old drive, still trying to see if an operating system takes in general).  The BIOS Setup to boot from the disk, I get the blue screen of installation of Windows to pop - up and start installing its drivers.  However once he reaches the message 'Setup starts Windows', the screen freezes it for as long as I'm ready to watch it (left for a long period of time and no difference).

  Other cases that I also noticed when I restart my computer it will not even reach the configuration screen rather right at the point where you could normally see "Press any key to boot from CD" I received a message 'FreeDOS' and it hangs there.

  I'm not experienced with computers at all I'm just regurgitating given to me by my roommate who happens to know more information. I hope this isn't a hardware problem as I firmly doubt replacements will be economically feasible for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  1. Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).

  After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

  C:\WINDOWS

  For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

  Chkdsk /r

  For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

• the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Message window during the closing down, labeled cmd.exe.

  I have a problem that only occurs during the closing down. When I select Shut Down I soon get a pop up that says... the application could not start correctly (0xc0000142) click on OK to close the application. window label is cmd.exe. Whether I click on the window, closing down product and eventually after say 30 seconds the alarm disappears. clicking on the alert simply displays another alert. This only occurs during the closing down. Also, I have no problem to launch cmd.exe during the normal operation, or any other program running in the command window. I read a few posts but don't see anything exactly like this, what happens during closing down.

• Computer to stall at the start of windows during the upgrade from XP to Windows 7

  During my update from XP to 7 files appear to load correctly from the disk installation, but when my computer only the first reboot, it crashes to the Windows splash screen.  I tried to boot with the floppy to upgrade without success.  If I bypass the boot CD to the Boot Manager screen helping with the selection of the installation of Windows, it still hold on the Windows start screen.  Can you help me with all the patches to this question?  Thank you!

  Turn off the PC, remove the AC power cord, wait 5 minutes and remove the (2) 256 MB sticks and the sticks of 2GB (2), it should then leave you with only one pole and a total of 2 GB of memory installed.

  Remove all PCI slots (e.g. SoundBlaster) cards. Remove the network adapters and VPN.

  Plug the power cord back, start the computer, and try again.

• Tecra S5 - Black display after starting windows XP

  Hello
  I had problems with the display driver last month after the new update, the driver of the original view was gone.
  After some restorations of older versions the screen worked, but not with the original display driver. I was Born the driver on the laptop and the character to install this new, but something is wrong.
  When I start the PC, the bios password is ask, filled, windows XP is started and the screen is dark without courier. Look of the screen reader does not start automatically to start Windows XP.

  What can I do? Only option work you the PC recovery CD?

  You can start a computer laptop properly using SafeMode (F8 at startup) option?

  What can you do?
  In my opinion, you have only two options: to install the Toshiba display driver or install the new OS by using the original recovery disk (radical option but it is better).

  This problem occurred when we had a short break this morning.  How can I use a CD when the computer does not start?

  Thank you!

  Firstly try to get the menu Advanced Boot Options by pressing F8 repeatedly while booting.  See if you can boot into 'Safe Mode' or 'last good known Configuration"before trying the method described below.

  If you have a Windows XP installation CD, instead of a CD of "recovery" provided by a computer manufacturer, you configure the BIOS of the computer to boot from the CD, put the XP installation CD in the drive, start the XP Recovery Console and go from there.

  See below for detailed instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

  There are several caveats to this method.  Read the article.

• Cannot start Windows Vista, even dvd installation

  I started my Dell Inspiron 1420 under Windows Vista Home Premium in place and led to a warning screen indicating an error in startup.  As stated, I started from my Vista installation DVD.  I ran the Startup Repair tool, and it failed.  The event log has been as follows:

  Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

  Problem event Signature 01: external Media

  02: 6.0.6001.18000.6.0.6001.18000

  OS version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1

  Locale ID: 1033

  I then ran the System Restore tool and it failed.  I then ran the Memory Diagnostics tool, and it found no errors.  Given the lack of success, I decided to reformat and reinstall.  I used the Advanced Options in Windows Vista Setup DVD to remove the Partitions, format the drive and install Windows.

  Post installation Windows started successfully the first time but was running slowly.  I tried to download the drivers from the CD of Installation of Dell, but automatic execution failed, and when I tried to copy individual files, it also failed.  I decided to reboot the machine, but instead of Windows, I got a blank screen with white cursor blinking in the upper left corner.  I tried to reboot from the Installation DVD and once the progress opening white Windows files completed bar, I was presented with a black screen and a cursor again.

  Since then, I was not able to start any CD/DVD successfully.  What should I do now?  I am happy to reformat and try again, but I can not even on the screen to do.

  Help!  Please?

  Hello Nick_98,

  If we are hanging up when you use the installation disc, then the installation disc has problems or hardware on the computer problems that must be addressed before moving forward, there

  I advise to use diagnostics provided by your manufacturer to check for hardware problems.

  Please note that if the equipment passes the test, it simply means that no error has been detected it.  If we turn to the top of the sensitivity on the diagnosis, we can find errors.

• Computer froze during the upgrade/installation of windows xp

  I have windows xp home edition on a Dell desktop computer. I had problems with the computer freezing and then lost the connection to the internet 3 days ago. So I decided to reinstall windows xp from cd. However, I have chosen upgrade, rather than new install (because it was the suggested method). Now my computer will not complete the upgrade but is frozen during the installation. It remains to 32 minutes until the end. I can't seem to start, can't control/alt/delete or whatever it is. If I unplug my computer and launch it then again once, it resumes where it left off. How can I break out of this loop and start over with a fresh install? Thank you.

  OK, it would have been better to have all the information on this machine in one place. I guess your question in the other post you made about activation is for the same computer? If this is correct, then the information I gave you in your previous post is not applicable.

  With Dell computers, using Dell reinstallation media, you don't need to enter a product key during installation and the operating system is already activated.

  If you use a different XP installation disc that was not provided by Dell, this is why you are experiencing activation problems. If you do not have a Dell brand installation CD, you will need to use a manufacturer OEM generic system disk and use the product key on the label of CA certificate on your computer. If you use a copy of XP retail, you would use the product key on the CD to copy the retail case. In the case of the generic OEM drive, it must be the same version of XP that came with your computer (Home/Pro/MCE).

  All that being said, your sound of questions as a material. Did you leave all devices attached during the repair facility? If so, this can also cause the problem. Unplug everything except (obviously) your mouse and your keyboard when doing an operating system install. You should ensure that the material is solid before attempting to install again.

  Understand that all your data will be lost. If you save before, try to start with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy the files to an external hard drive. Then download a utility from drive to drive mftr site. or use a third-party (Acronis Disk Director, Knoppix gparted) start Disk Manager to delete partitions on your hard drive and format the drive.

  Now, do a clean install of Windows, preferably using a Dell XP installation CD. Install Dell drivers for all your hardware when you're done, restore data from backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
