Vista has started with a normal window then changes to one with zoom 150 and no navigation
After my computer did an automatic update, the screen changed. It starts with a normal screen but then goes to a 150% or more with no navigation or any level of zoom in the status bar. So cannot use Control Panel controls to adjust the screen resolution, want to do? Do not have original install disks that the computer came preloaded.

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

Windows Vista starts with empty office and the mouse cursor, then restarts
I have trouble getting Vista to start on an Acer laptop. The laptop is an Acer Aspire 6920 G with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on it.
The PC will start in an empty office with stop mouse cursor on this screen for about a 1 min and then it restarts and you go through the same process again. I tried the safe mode and last good configuration to know but get the same results. I have also tried to run the Startup Repair tool and get the same screen. I can launch Startup Repair to boot from a DVD of Vista Home Premium 32-bit and I can run but it makes no different. When you restart, you get the same problem.
Does anyone have an idea?
No it isn't the trunk upwards with the black screen and the mouse.
Hi KevinBricknall,
1. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?
Since you are unable to run start up repair boot from the Vista disc, you can try to perform a system restore start from the disc and see if it helps.

Vista Home starts with black screen with blinking cursor
Hi, I have a toshiba satellite with Vista home, he stopped last Sunday, when I turn it on, start it start sbooting normally but then I get a black screen with cursor and is not go further. I tried last good known, tired, safe mode, I have same TOSHIBA recovery disk and does not either, when I boot from the CD, it seems that it is loading files, then the yellow bar on the work screen appears, but then I get the black screen with cursor, nothing after that.
I took out HD and a Sata drive via the usb port to connect to my HP laptop. I was able to open the F and G, but C drive (where the OS is installed which has changed the letter e) could not open, he told me I need to format it.
I have the original recovery disk for Toshiba, which works when the hard drive is not in the Toshiba, but when I put the hard drive back, I never the option where it asks me to repair or reinstall all.
is it possible that I can use my laptop HP after the toshiba drive connected via USB, to repair the toshiba C partition (which is called E)?
There are more than 2 weeks worth of work that are not backed up, and I wouldn't lose. Help, please.
Hi MB1969,

Boots Vista black screen with white cursor and nothing else (Black Screen of Death)
After a download from Microsoft update last week, my system has rebooted. He first had a screen blue error, rebooted, reported a disk error and automatically run CHKDSK. Since then, the system has started a black with white slider screen and nothing else. This happens at startup options (Normal, safe, safe with the last command good known configuration). Not even sticky keys would come to the top. CTRL-Alt-Delete, Ctrl-Alt-Esc and all other keys has nothing did. Even with a right click.
I searched all over the web for solutions. I found (and tried) several over the past week, but nothing has worked.
Here's what I tried...
F8 held key on boot to the top and entered the startup recovery. Ran of recovery. Initially so found of disk errors. Those fixed. Then he said he could not repair the system and reported two pilot errors.
Tried system restore. He said that I had no restore points (even if I know that I had before).
With the help of recovery options, I went to the command prompt. Asked to RegEdit and load the Software hive. Checked the connection entry Windows NT; made sure, it has been set to explorer.exe
The system, checked RpcSs Key hive. Already the NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService value
Renamed event connects winevt and not create the Logs folder
Removed the hard drive. Attached to another system (as slaves), and the registered file permissions. They have screwed everything up. The fixed file permissions and drive put back in original system.
Œuvres self-retaining keys now. Do not, however, as my sticky keys doesn't have a link to configuration.
Went back into recovery startup via the F8 key at startup. Now, when I run start recovery, it says that everything is going well and there is no problem.
I have download the hotfix from article 977675 Microsoft, but I don't know how I can apply it without being able to get into windows. I would like to contact MS e-mail or chat support, but I can't get the product ID without being able to connect (frustrating talk).
I would like to reinstall OS, but HP does not provide an installation disc with their systems (only a full restore partition). My system is backed up (with the exception of the Windows folder), but I really don't want to have to make a full recovery, as I have a lot of specialized programs and settings that would probably take me a week to re - install and re - set.
Anyone have any new ideas?
Hello
Here's my usual BlackScreen convenience store, because it may be that you haven't tried
or if you have access you might be able to come back and start some of them.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
by tapping F8 as you start several times.First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
field efforts.Here's a video of one of them.

SatelliteU300 will not start with power connected and fully charged battery
I just bought a U300-13U. It works fine when charging the battery and AC is connected. However, if left to recharge completely it does not start with connected AC. Unpluging the power or remove the battery and running on AC make it work very well. Is a 'feature' to stop an overload or overheating of the battery, or just a problem with this machine. I want to run with AC and battery than both connected all the time like I did with all my other laptops.
Any help appreciated.
Hello Andy
Of my friends has this small U300 and everything works well. I got it a few weeks ago to test the family Windows XP Setup and it works perfectly.
Please test again very carefully and if the same thing happen again once I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. They check your laptop. I have to be honest and say that describes the problem of strange sounds to me and please, don't wait too long. Contact the service as soon as possible.

HP 6735 s starts with no backlight, and there is no way to adjust it
Hello
I have a notebook 6735 s with processor Sempron SI40. One day, I turned on and realized that theres no backlight or something. The following occurs:
1. the screen is powered, but it's so dark that I can barelly see "HP"-logo at startup (at first, I thought that the screen is not in power, but on consideration, I see something on this topic) ".
2. it is used to "quick buttons" to set the backlight (at startup and loading windows)
3. There is no use for the reset of the Bios. (no change)
A bit more on this issue. I can see what is on the screen, if I take a flashlight and point it on screen, but still if barelly I can't yet read Bios options sometimes. Windows starts OK, and the issue has no effect on it.
I tried to disconnect a battery and unplug the laptop for half an hour, but nothing has changed.
Could you please help?

If you do not feel confident in evolution, you can take your laptop to most of the mechanics who should be able to do while you wait "assuming you have the part" a search under your laptop model the INVERTER supplement on eby should produce some alternatives to high prices.
Please note if your laptop is under any kind of warranty that it is, you should not attempt to repair yourself to allow other users to-other than HP.

In this case, first of all, I would check my first piece of the project. You can check the first play in the drive properties in the properties panel.

If you want your menu to play first you insert the disc in the drive, then this menu must be set as the first piece of theatre.
I hope this works.

start with white screen and a page named do not work
Firefox always start with most recent screen.
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.
Do not change the line browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once and change its value to false, but either delete this line or remove the user.js file (recommended if you have not created this file).
The normal use of this pref is to reload the tabs when you need to restart Firefox (update or install an extension). -
