  • Keyboard causes Vista hang on startup/gel when it is plugged

    So I seem to have a rather unusual problem.

    When I boot vista and my Wired USB keyboard Logitech is plugged, Vista hangs at a black screen after that bar loading screen and my optical USB Wired mouse green turns off (in safe mode it seems to hang crcdisk.sys).  If I don't have my wired keyboard but I have not my wired mouse Vista starts fine but when I try to plug in the keyboard Vista crashes and I can't move the cursor.  It doesn't seem to be a work autour: if I leave the mouse and the keyboard unplugged and plug them in to at about the same time after that Vista starts, both work very well.  In fact, I can unplug the keyboard and reconnect it back with no problem.

    I recently bought a new hard drive and had to install Vista on it.  This problem appeared to occur at the time, I installed SP1 and persisted in my current state to SP2.

    I tried to update the drivers while the keyboard works by both windows as well as search download driver of Logitech Web site.  I do not have another keyboard I could try, but it worked well before re-installing my Vista and works fine on my laptop (which is running XP).

    Any ideas?

    Of course, looks like it's maybe the keyboard if the drivers are up-to-date.

  • Windows Vista hangs at startup

    I had a problem with Windows Vista in the past months where it hangs on a blue screen or crashes at startup. Usually, I need to restart the computer several times before I'm finally able to get on the desktop and then it works fine after that. I went as far as when you run a restore complete system twice, but the problem persists. Thinking that maybe that's a hardware problem, I ran a diagnostic equipment on the memory, video card, hard drive, motherboard and all other hardware components but the diagnostic equipment can find nothing wrong.

    Here is my system configuration:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
    Hewlet Packard AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHx
    Hard drive 500 GB
    3 GB RAM
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE card

    Any help is appreciated.

    In administrative tools, choose the reliability and performance monitor and
    Click on MonitoringTools then the reliability monitor (type of reliability in research
    at startup). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, Windows
    updates and crashes by date. See if your plant started to occur after
    you installed or uninstalled something.
     
    In the control panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (problem of type in)
    The START searchbox), go to the history of the problem, your mistake right click and choose
    Check the Solution.
     
    Also get details of your crash blue screen of problem reports and
    Solutions and post it here.
     
    The two causes of blue screens are defective drivers or hardware failure.
     
    Try these steps to remove defects of hardware that Windows can detect (I
    not sure what you did before).
     
    Type of memory in the start search box, and select Memory Diagnostic and then restart.

  • Live Family Safety Service Windows causes my Vista computer to hang at startup

    My computer hangs at startup / commissioning for about 5 min.  This happens only to start initial and not when the disconnection / log - on different users, only the initial start-up of the machine.  Event Viewer identifies the above error.  How can I fix it?

    I solved this on Vista by changing the startup type of the Service Windows Live Family Safety from automatic to manual. You do this by using the computer management tool accessed through the control panel and the Administrative Tools folder. The service starts always but by another action.

  • Problem at startup with Vista - hang at crcdisk.sys - green bar still there

    Hello

    I have a big problem and I'm not able to find a problem.

    My laptop (Lifebook, Fujitsu A6200) always hang at startup when the green bar with the windows logo is moving (I restarted after 3 hours).

    When I starts in Mode safe, it hangs on CRCDISK. SYS. I left it run for 2 hours and it restarted somewhere in this period.

    I tried the Drivers and applications of restore disc that came with my laptop and it never found problems. I ran the startup of more than 8 hours repair and the balance sheet was not finished.

    I plugged my hard drive on another PC so I can access my data correctly, it is not a hard drive problem.

    I have not installed any application or any new hardware in the weeks before the problem appeared with the exception of the automatic updates of Windows. I don't think that the problem is a hardware problem.

    If possible, I don't want to reinstall windows.

    Thanks for your help!

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: Use system recovery tools to fix the problem, to access system recovery tools. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

    See also the link below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-system-repairs-from-the-Windows-recovery-environment-from-Windows-Vista-inside-out

    (a) System Restore: put the computer to an earlier point in time when the computer was working fine.

    (b) order to access Windows Recovery: run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

    At the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

    Now, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    (c) run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool

  • My Dell computer hangs at startup

    Original title: Vista problem or hardware - I could blame either...

    My Dell Dimension E520 hangs at startup. The system messages and normally gets to the start-up or Startup Repair option.  Choose, either takes me to a black screen. If I restarted and press F8 for boot options - Safe Mode, Safe Mode prompt command and last good all take me to a black screen.  When I put in the system restore disk (dvd) and boot on the DVD.  The loading bar files Windows fills then remains on the screen.  Then I put in the DVD of the Dell Diagnostics and boot from the DVD.  DRMK Version 8.00 loading appears and remains on the screen.  I have a proposal to solve the problem, but I would like a confirmation of my assumption.

    Hello

    Remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    Remove all external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard, and then start the computer to check if you are able to boot.

    Method 1: I suggest that you try the system recovery option system restore and check if it solves the problem:

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    When I restart the system restarts and the desktop. Then there is a strange broken screen full of colors and the system hangs. When the computer reboots, it asks to start safe mode. It is a loop if you start in normal mode and sometimes if you start in safe mode. Finally after fussing over several reboots, it will work.

    He sees the Linux bootloader and tries to fix it. You need to install your OS' are in conjunction with each other. Perhaps you could try booting from a floppy disk to repair GRUB and see if you can not solve the bootloader to enable either Windows or Linux at startup but that is the only way I know Windows and Linux running side by side... have GRUB (the Linux boot loader) on the main hard drive and it comes up with an option to start. If you want to run the OS' are independent, disconnect the drive that has only the other OS on it.

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

     

    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.

    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 it.

    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.

    How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

    Hello Bob Zientak,.

    If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

    Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.
