• HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen

  I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.

  When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.

  I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?

  Thank you, Glenn...

  It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

  You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.
  
  You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.
  
  The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
  
  When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.
  
  To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
  
  Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.
  
  To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/
  
  Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
  -------------------------------------
  
  Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html
  
  You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.
  
  Once completed, your PC should start OK.

  If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

  Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

To boot to the desktop in Dungeon known, pressing F8 during restart last good Configuration. Once you see the startup option in the last good known Configuration and press ENTER. Check if you can access the desktop.

  You can also try to disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse and monitor and check if you can boot to the desktop.

  Step 2

  If the steps above do not help, you can boot to the recovery console and try to disable the service or the device to the computer and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

• need help to move a rear window on the screen

  rather than reduce a window I was drag to the side of my desktop and accidentally moved completely out of sight. now when I click on the button in the task bar the only options I have are to close the window or move it. When I click on 'move' I get the four-headed arrows near the place, I moved the window off the screen. Can someone tell me please how do I move the window on the screen? Thank you very much.

  Right-click on the tab of the window in the task bar and select move. Now, use the arrow keys to get to the screen. Close all other windows except this one and use the cursor to drag the message to the desired size. File | Output and Windows will remember the size and location when you open it again.

• DisplayPort that NO SIGNAL appears in the window on the screen is good

  DisplayPort that NO SIGNAL appears in the window on the screen is good. I run all programs without any problems. But this small window in the upper right corner will not go away. Any help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To make the small window is closed on your screen, please try to perform an end task. If does not end the task, there is an option that attempts to put an end to the tree of the whole process instead of just the individual job. Select the Details tab in the Task Manager, right-click the process you want to end, and then click end process tree. This will attempt to leave the program and all associated process.

  If the same small window is always on the screen, I suggest that you try to unplug your monitor from outlet for a minute and plug it back again. This should refresh the settings of your monitor and the small window should disappear.

  Let us know how it goes.

• Why all my open windows minimize when I move another window on the screen?

  Hello

  What happens is that when I move a window on the screen all my other windows minimize, as this half the window sometimes disappears or appears another window on top.

  I am currently running Windows 7, it is aware of the updates. I ran virus checks. Also, I found a way to stop it from happening by unchecking the "use Visual styles on windows and buttons" in the performance options, however my PC should run with this setting is enabled, and it has been for more than a year.

  If it helps, here are the basis for my PC specifications:

  i5 - 2500 k

  8 GB RAM

  1 TB SSHD (this is where the BONE is)

  HARD DRIVE 500 GB

  160 GB HDDGTX 770

  OCZ ZS 650W 80 + Bronze

  All the drivers are up to date.

  Any help is appreciated

  Thanks in advance,

  Alex

  I don't know why I didn't try this earlier but I changed the theme to one of those aero preset instead of one custom I made, has so far prevented the problems I had with the windows tearing and glitching. Im not sure what caused my custom aero theme to cause a lot of problems.

  Thanks for all your help!

• Captivate 7 - Variables window off the screen

  When you open the variable window, the window off the screen and I can't bring it back to one of my two monitors (double).  ESC comes to Captivate, but I can't seem to locate and drag the window to the return variables.  Any suggestions?

  I can't reconnect to a third-party monitor (which I used to have).

  I assume that you have already tried resetting the workspace, CP restarted and the system?

  Try to update preferences, using the Cleanpreferences file that corresponds to your operating system, and that you will find in the Utils to the CP installation folder subfolder. ATTENTION: you will lose any customization.

• 10.11.4 position of the window off the screen after awakening from sleep + external display

  Does anyone else have problems with windows being placed off screen when waking up their MacBook Pro from sleep mode or when using an external monitor?

  I have a 15 "rMBP and regularly connect with lid closed to a Dell screen 4K P2715Q. Whenever I wake up from sleep, many of my windows are off-center and move the windows from the edge of the rightmost to the Center.

  I can't say with certainty if it is specific to the application or for all windows, but Mail.app and Messages certainly do.

  I will do some tests later and post updates. Thank you!

  I take this in system preferences > displays the mirror effect is on?

  What resolutions are two screens to?

  How to wake up the laptop from sleep?

  If it is by lifting the lid is on the Mac you see it?

  If it's the position carries no report available to the larger screen?  (i.e. If the laptop could match the larger screen resolution would be the 'shift' appear in the same place, as the laptop was a cut from the larger screen).

• 6.6 keynote opens the window off the screen

  Since v6.6 Keynote opens a file off the screen on the first launch, I see the window at all.

  I have two monitors, a my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and the other is a 15 inch USB monitor AOC. BTW and may be connected, the driver for this monitor causes the transformation to fail when it is attached.

  As I said, very good spear Keynote, but the file I want to work on is nowhere to be seen on my screen. When I hit CMD-CTRL-F (full screen), the presentation appears, and when I then hit ESC, I see the window right on the right edge of the laptop screen (see screenshot below), which allows me to put on the window and work on the file.

  Of course, it's heavy, if I have to do it every time I run the application Keynote. I searched here in this forum, but I have not found anything that could help me. Does anyone here know of a fix for this strange behavior?

  

  Since v6.6 Keynote opens a file off the screen on the first launch,

  Make sure you have the latest version of the speech which is 6.6.1

  the other is a 15 inch USB monitor AOC. BTW and may be connected, the driver for this monitor causes the transformation to fail when it is attached.

  These screens are very useful, but they are well known pose a problem with photographic, presentation and installation of applications on the Mac.

  If you can live with this poster failure very well, but if you want flawless performance, you need to use a display with HDMI, Thunderbolt, mini displayport or DVI of the Mac connection.

• Flys window off the screen to the right

  I know that something like this was posted, but the answer doesn't seem to work for me so I'll try again.  I have a window open for example internet.  When I click the icon at the bottom of the screen, all I see is a small box of shooting off the screen to the right and when I click it back again this subject comes flying to the icon.  Nothing I've done seems to back open on the screen.  I crushed my right mouse clicked and was caught and pulled, but nothing comes back on my main screen.  I stop the program and reopened it always does the same thing, I rebooted my computer.  I looked everywhere for answers and nobody seems to be able to help me.  Maybe one of you can give me some advice.  It's a very frustrating situation.

  Oh my God I kept looking for an answer and found something someone said in another post on the resolution of the screen and I understand what they were saying.  I went to my office right clicked (see that I am not a guru) and chose the resolution of the screen.  I had "to extend these screens" clicked so I clicked on "show the desktop only on 1" and it then, there was my missing icon. ""  Yaaaaay I stared with them other messages but Yadira help me.

• After the upgrade to Windows 7, the screen flickers / blinks constantly

  It's probably a graphics card problem. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6100... I have 128 MB of memory allocated for it, which is what I needed. I updated the driver as soon as Windows 7 Finally got installed. That's all just annoying... as my screen is having an epileptic seizure.

  It is certainly not a monitor issue... it worked fine with XP.

  Hello Briadru4,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Try to start in safe mode to determine if the problem is still present:

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  2. do one of the following:

  • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.
  • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. on the screen Options Options Advanced startup, use the arrow keys to select the safe mode option you want, and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

  4 log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

  When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of the screen. To leave safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  Hi Don,

  Thanks for the reply.

  To resolve the problem with the preview pane, you can try these methods.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you scan the computer to verify that there is no infection by the virus, using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Microsoft safety scanner will help us to get rid of software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

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

  Note:

  1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I would say allowing you to run the auditor of file system (CFS) analyze and check if it helps.

• On Windows 7, the screen flashes and goes black. It shows that the display driver has stopped working

  I have premium home edition of windows 7 I had a problem with my display driver. The screen flashes and goes black and then turns back on with a message in the bottom right of the screen that reads «display driver stopped responding, but recovered» It has also closed and restarted windows

  Hello

  First, download and install the drivers from the ATI site, if you have already done so, check the graphics card and cabin temperature by opening. This normally occurs when the temperature is too high. Or if a person has overclocked graphics card.
