  Original title: Windows Recovery Error Question

  Earlier I was looking at my computer, running a virus because my computer scan playing strange earlier. Every time I start Windows, I would be spammed with windows titles 'open with... '. ». I managed to open the Task Manager and get rid of all of them, but my computer shifted significantly again. Whenever I close it and restart the same thing would happen. I opened my virus scanner and started running it. Of course, he had a virus.

  As I was waiting for the analysis at the end, my computer suddenly closed and restarted without any warning at all. It froze on the splash screen. To stop and restart my computer again, I received a message that says:

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If Windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem. If the power was interrupted during startup, choose Start Windows normally. »

  I was given two options: Launch Startup Repair (recommended) and start Windows normally. When I select the Startup Repair tool, I am taken to a screen with a loading bar that says "Windows is loading files... ». After loading, the screen would freeze. If I try the other option, I am taken to the splash screen and it would freeze.

  Is it possible to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite P15-S420: unable to start Windows XP

  I hope that all makes sense... I'm unable to start after the start page of Windows XP. I think I have assumed that the computer turn off when there is no. The battery may have exhausted and when I plugged it back in and tried to start it would not.

  When the Windows start page is in place, it seems that HD works for awhile, but stops and goes no further. I am able to boot in safe mode and have tried to restore with no effect. When I click on Toshiba Manager of power supply in the control panel I get "Policy of NoteBook Load Fail" this could be a problem.

  What do you think???
  Oh, I have a Satellite P15-S420.

  Hello

  In my opinion, this power saver error message occurs because you started the laptop in safe mode. In this case, the OS doesn't use the Toshiba drivers that are required for the use of additional applications.
  You write about the restore procedure. Have you tried to install the laptop with the supplied restore CD? If this isn't the case, then try it.

• Portege M700-106: unable to start the task manager & programs after Vista sleep

  Hello

  In fact I am facing problem like below...
  Configuration: Portege M700-106 with upgrades (Hynix Kingston 4 GB, WD Scorpio 320 GB with jumper default config doesn't = no jumper)
  Reinstalled system from Toshiba DVD recovery, all updates possible on web too.

  However, when I wake Vista from the suspense Task Manager I think I can't start (continuous report) some programs (e.g. ThunderbirdPortable of SDHC), all other programs works well enough.

  Anyone can know the reason, solution for this?

  Thanks for help

  Staszek

  Hello

  As far as I understand, you are not able to use some 3rd party applications after the awakening of Eve Vista but other applications running ok only software Thunderbird Portable to the SDHC card.

  Well, I have come to the conclusion that the card reader can hangs after the awakening of the stand by mode or the ThunderbirdPortable should be repeated. Probably it s not a problem of Vista, but question ThunderbirdPortable.
  Have you tried to search if this is a known issue with this software?

  I would recommend this review!

• Start repair cannot find a problem, but are still unable to start Windows Vista successfully.

  So here's the skinny.  I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I came home today and I tried to start it up, it got to the point where the bar is be thrown backwards and then what seems to have been that a BSOD flew for a fraction of a second the power cut and the system restarted.  Restart Start Up Repair did not work (you cannot determine the problem).  Could not start safe mode, and when I went to all our restore points had mysteriously disappeared the system recovery.  I checked the material widely to find errors, and it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.  Since at this stage would not worth the hassle to track down a Vista Home Premium disc to make a repair (which I'm not sure would work based on reading other forums) a Windows 7 upgrade would solve the problem?  If that won't accomplish anything, I at least would be able to rifle through the old partition and get my stuff is back with a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new partition?  What can I do, or I am the GROUND.  There are a lot of things on this computer and I would be sad to lose.  Unfortunately, we are a company household risky here and nobody listened to me when I said that we really need get an external hard drive to make a backup, so we don't have not one.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Loveofsporks,

  You are able to start Windows now? If this isn't the case, follow the steps below.

  1 restart your computer and immediately press the F8 key until you reach the menu Advanced Boot Options.

  2. Select Disable automatic restart in the event of system failure

  3. restart the computer.

  4. After you receive the exact error message.

  For an upgrade to Windows 7, you must be able to boot into Vista. A clean install would solve your problem if it's related software. Regarding your data, try to connect the hard drive to another computer as a slave drive to see if you can recover your data. You can check in the recovery software from 3^rd party in option.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1:  SFC scanner.

  System File Checker (SFC) scan will replace the missing or corrupted system files on your computer.

  Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

   

  Method 2: I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.

  Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:

  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.

• BSOD on all options after starting windows updates running.

  I ran the windows updates last night I shut down my computer.  I remember it being about 12 updates to run.

  Windows Vista, 32-bit

  This morning, I rebooted my computer and during the loading sequence, updates continue (the non-graphical part) and then I got a BSOD.  I tried to run all the security modes and got the same message.

  I ran repair my system disk and got the message that he could not repair the version of windows.  I tried a system restore, but it said I had no save points.

  Is there a way to manually tell it that updates have been an uninstall from the reapir vista disk command prompt?

  The specific the BSOD error code is
  0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8264CB56, 0x803998CC, 0x803995C8)

  Any help which is not one of these answers canned that has a bunch of stuff I can't do since I can't on something else that the ERD would be useful.
  Thank you!

  In the end I solved it me - so if someone runs into similar codes - here is the summary:

  I ran Windows Update.
  On reboot the part of the update that runs in non-graphical mode full - then crashed by the computer.
  I got BSOD screens whenever I tried to boot in any mode.
  The specific error code is 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8264CB56, 0x803998CC, 0x803995C8)
  I tried the repair disk installation process - which could not find anything.
  I couldn't do a system restore point, because they were all gone.
  I called Microsoft - they were very nice, but their only solution was to re - install which was not possible for me.
  I downloaded and created a boot cd on another computer that could run antivirus software.
  The disc has been call BootCD Secured2k - there is a forum on the Mcafee site about this.
  I used it and found a Patched - atapi.sys trojan that he removed from the case.
  (Reading between the lines - this thing has been disrupted by the Microsoft Update that caused the mess)
  Then I got a new problem starting with the error code: 0x0000007b 0x80399bb0
  Same problem of being unable to boot in any mode.
  Same problem of being useless installation disc repair.
  After leaving it for a few hours, it occurred to me that perhaps when atapi.sys, that Trojan has been deleted the file was so.
  I connected the command line available from the installation disc advanced repair options.
  ATAPI.sys had indeed disappeared.
  I used the X:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys and copied on my C:\Windows\system32\drivers.
  And presto! -my windows starts with happiness and everything seemed to work.
  (Why can't notice of repair of microsoft one missing disk or messed up file atapi.sys?)

  Unfortunately a few days later I noticed the Windows updates not working and I couldn't go even this part of the site.
  I tried everything I could think of and failed.
  So I called Mircorosoft again.
  We spent an hour on the phone and they found the problem this time!
  I used OpenDNS as my DNS provider for performance of problems caused by Time Warner.
  For some reason any OpenDNS blocking any attempt on my end to reach the Microsoft Update sites.
  I went from Microsoft recommended DNS and my computer was happy again.
  Everything has been happy since.

  And just to prove that I learned my lesson - I bought Norton Ghost and tries to configure full backups regular since the system restore point says that it don't work for me (I have a vista upgrade a XP Home machine on a FAT file system)

  So:
  Secured2K bootable anti-virus CD (and you can run other analyses of viruses such as PA recommended wear)
  If ATAPI. SYS is removed or bad - I copied it from the disc command prompt install.
  If you Microsoft updates stop working and you can't reach their windowsupdate.microsoft.com - check your DNS.

• Lsass.exe system error object name not found, unable to start Windows in any mode.

  I am working on a friends computer who has a problem, it does not boot in any mode.  This includes everything and all alternate Mode without failure, last known good Configuration and other options in between.

  The computer is an old one but running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and is updated from a few months ago.  He had a program to update AVG as well as several anti-spyware installed SpyBot, Adaware, and Malwarebytes programs.  Sometimes, the computer had a virus or spyware that was eventually deleted by the user with these programs in the past.

  I searched the internet for at least 8-10 hours looking for solutions without real success.  If not all of you with this problem, most eventually do a full reformat their hard drive.  This owner does not have a recovery disk (lost?) with their computer for that and they have important documents that they would be saved.  A solution (last resort) is to remove the hard drive and put it in my computer to copy documents on a cd/dvd.  It is very likely to buy a newer computer at this stage anyway, but needs these documents

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

  What happens is after the start screen of Windows, but before the Welcome screen, a box with the lsass.exe system error error: object name not found appears.  Clicking on it just restarts the computer to restart the process.

  I used a boot Norton cd to test the virus in case it might be this worm Sasser, sometimes associated with this error and it is clean. so I really doubt that this problem is associated with that.  Also used checks and drive to scan to check for errors.  Don't check, there is no way to go back to a previous restore point or configuration.

  Tried to use the recovery console out of my Windows XP installation disk: in this case I tried to develop a copy of the file lsass.exe on the hard drive, but it could not extend the file.  I tried several times with the same results.  Don't really know if that would have helped it worked.

  At this point, I'm really at a loss on how to continue.  Any suggestion would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

  Your friend's computer is not likely to be infected by the Sasser worm that this virus is many, many years now. Extract the data on the drive and do a clean install/factory restore of Windows. You can usually buy the mftr computer recovery media. (if an OEM brand like HP, Dell, etc.). low-cost. If you decide to reinstall Windows, test the material first to make sure it's healthy. Or skip reinstallation if your friend is going to buy a new computer and just take the data for him.

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html - Clean install - how-to
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Reinstalling_Windows - what you will need at hand

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

  * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com
