Upgrade XP to windows 7. I find myself with a black screen.

I just upgraded my media library to windows 7, XP, boots up to "starting windows" and then black screen. Does not start in safe mode, says ' cannot complete Setup in safe mode.  Cannot initialize upgrade DVD. I tried to fix it says no problem. I don't have a monitor connect via vga. Help!

I just tried the repair disc with my Dell Inspiron 620 connected to my screen via HDMI and it works fine.  There is also a button you can click to install the drivers.  So if you download your video driver and put it on a CD or a flash drive, you could install it that way too.

Good luck.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • After the updates of windows, the computer stops responding with a black screen at startup of the system

    Original title: Windows XP does not start after the update, no error message

    Has made no changes to the system, but the last thing that happened was an update of Windows security on stop.

    Now when I boot, the BIOS p.o.s.t. shows good HDs, good DVD-Rom, RAM, but Windows never starts, goes just a black screen, HDs are not accessed.

    -F8 does nothing, can't use the last known good Config or Mode safe

    -Change boot order in the BIOS to boot from the Windows XP DVD, hoping to get the recovery console, but the same thing: black screen, no attempt to spin-up DVD or HDs.

    -Removal of mobo battery to reset the CMOS, no joy.

    -Checked and re checked all connections inside.

    -Stripped devices and added one at a time, no joy.

    -Traded-in an old video card in case it was difficult to generate the higher res gfx, no joy.

    I was construction/upgrade / repair my own PC for 3 decades and can usually solve the problem and fix it myself, but this one me completely baffled.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Cougarific,

    We recommend that you repair your Windows installation in according to method 2 of this article and check the result.
    See computer stops responding with a black screen when you start Windows XP

    Note: When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows XP to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows XP disc.

  • I installed the latest update of Windows. All updates. However, I find myself with the yellow warning icon in the bar of tasks and install when closing down.

    Description of the problem: a few days ago I installed the latest update of Windows. All updates, or so I think by the Windows Update Web page telling me so. However I find myself with the yellow warning icon telling me the KB2729450 update is ready on my computer and needs installation. However, the web page says that it successfully installed. I see the update in Add/REMOVE programs. I've deleted and reinstalled but still have the icon telling me to install it. Even when you turn off the computer the message is for me to install, but I think that it has already installed successfully. How can I get rid of these warnings?
    Operating system: Windows XP

    Hi depreciated,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!

    If I understand correctly, you receive a warning to install the update, even if it has already been installed. I'll try to help you the question.

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    The update that you are warned with seems to be question of the .net framework. I have you provided the link that will repair your .net framework.

    Microsoft .NET Framework repair tool

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=30135

    Note: after using the .net Framework cleanup tool, please install all .net Framework components.

    Let us know the status of the issue. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.

  • How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?

    How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?

    For security reasons, I only use iCloud for Contacts and "find my iPhone".

    Several months ago Apple forced me to change my password to iCloud.  So I did this.   In the last months, I used successfully the new password to 10 or 12 times when asked without problem.

    However, I received a notification of a software update for my Apple Watch. I did the update without problem. However, after completing the update my iPhone asked me to connect to my iCloud account. When I did this, she rejected my password. I made 4 attempts typing very slowly and with care for you sure I did it right.

    Then, operating under a hunch, I decided to enter my old password to iCloud. It worked?  I'm confused about this, any ideas would be appreciated.

    I had a similar problem last year. I had to call Apple. Contact is a bottom of this page.
