  • my windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not show the Office when I log in. it shows only a green screen

    Original title: green screen

    my windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not show the Office when I log in. it shows only a green screen. I tried all the options in F8 mode with no result. How can I fix it without losing any information on the hard drive?

    Hello

    1 - do you mean that you get the green screen even in safe mode?

    2 did you recent hardware or software changes to your computer before this problem?

    If you are unable to start desktop even in safe mode, then you try to perform the verification and startup repair.

  • Acer Aspire laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition does not, System Restore does not, sfc, find corrupt files but do not repair. Need help!

    Hi, I have an Acer laptop Aspire with Vista Home Basic Edition that came pre-installed, so no records only the disk hard drive partition.

    I turned on my laptop today and it starts but the loading bar of stalls at the black screen with "(c) Microsoft Corporation" and dragging green. The slide bar will continue to drag, but nothing else happens which means that I understand even as much as the login screen. I rebooted and tried Windows recovery, but the only remedy to what he suggests is a restoration of the system, which does not have any point, I try to restore it.

    To remedy this, I have connected in safe mode and ran the SFC command prompt. It scans my system and told to find corrupted files, but he can't heal some. This is where my knowledge limit runs out. I don't know how to fix the files that the SFC cannot. (Also I created a journal using the findstr command prompt and checked but it say anywhere that it was unable to fix it so I'm not even sure how to identify corrupted files)

    As it's an Acer laptop, Aspire I'll try their eRecovery tool to return my computer to factory settings, but it won't work in safe mode, and as I said I can not connect normally. I tried alt and F10 at the initial boot screen when I turn on, it loads the windows files and shows the Acer "Please wait a moment" screen and then nothing happens again.

    I can't afford to get it fixed, and there is no chance I can get a new laptop. Any ideas/help? Thank you.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not detect networks wireless scope.

    running Windows Vista Home Basic on my counter top and it will not locate wireless... period. I know at least 3 in the box and he is always telling me that there are no wireless networks detected.

I went through the installation wizard for my router wireless twice now and still that it prove when I go to "connect to a network.

    As much as I know there is no 'Wireless' or switch to be turned on anyway... There may be a command prompt to enable the wireless function?

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start until after the update of the BIOS of 1.30 to 1.50

    Dear all,

    I have a Toshiba Satelklite Pro L300 and had no problem for the last 4 years. Last Monday, I replaced my hard drive with a new one and after installing a new copy of Windows XP Pro, I have downloaded all the drivers on the official site. After my last update, I have updated the BIOS to version 1.30 to 1.50. After a few seconds my laptop has rebooted and was not able to load Windows and / or recognize my new hard drive.

    I tried several methods, using safe, optimal Bios default etc but was unsuccessful. IO could not even re - install Windows as the hard drive is not being recognized by the laptop. I've formatted the HD again through my desktop Pc, but still have the same problem.

    I am really worried and would like immediate help!

    Best regards

    Engelbert

    > I formatted the HD again through my desktop Pc, but still have the same problem.
    What happen exactly when you turn on your laptop?

    Set the BIOS as deult and try to install the original recovery image that you got with your laptop. If everything works OK that means upgrading the disk HARD was a success and there is not a serious hardware problem.

    After this check, you can try again to install Windows XP Home edition.
    Please post comments.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic Edition keeps looping and will not start

    Windows Vista Home Basic Edition will not boot to the Welcome screen. It keeps restarting loop. I tried to go into safe mode, but who does not start too. Loops of safe mode and return to the start screen.

    I have a dell laptop and I just restalled operating system. I had Windows Update set to automatically download and install. PC worked great until the next day (after the time programmed for automatic updates). I'm assuming that the started after some windows updates when installed. Unfortunately, I can not enter in Windows or Normal or Safe Mode.

    Bill

    If safe mode does 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 it.

    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.

  • A POP-UP MESSAGE WARNING EXPIRATION OF WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC EDITION

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario V 3000, purchased by me on May 28, 2008 in Bangalore, India (Reliance digital) and delivered to me preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic with a label number key to the laptop. (The 20 product ID numbers is also known).

    It worked OK all along.

    (For the PAST 3 DAYS, I get the following pop-up message when I boot on):

    THIS FIRST VERSION OF WINDOWS HOME BASIC WILL EXPIRE IN SEVEN DAYS. BACK UP YOUR FILES AND THEN INSTALL no matter WHAT EDITION OF WINDOWS (message on today morning: March 24, 2010).

    I'm confused by this warning that I have a lot of data stored in my laptop (with HDD of 160 GB and 2 GB of RAM).

    I'll be very grateful to expert MS Forum for helping me solve this problem of EMERGENCY, as I am only left with more than seven days!

    Thanking you,

    E Devadpss

    You should backup your data NOW by purchasing an external hard drive and copy your data files on it. Then, I would give the store where you bought it a call. If they do not, call the HP technical support immediately. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Vista will not start. Verifying the integrity of system files and repair has no ErrorCode = 0 x 2 HELP PLEASE!

    ASUS PC, Windows Vist Home premium, all updates.

    Out of the blue, it will not start.  Access the start scrolling (the one just before logon) screen and it just stops.

    Twice I ran Vista check utility.  The first time, I chose to do the system restore to previous state.  Restarted.  Always off.  The second time, it took much longer and from what I can see.  All TESTS PASS, except one:

    Repair action: repair and checking of the filesystem Integrety

    Result: failed. Error code = 0 x 2

    Time required: 6206818ms

    I get no blue screen, I can't even any screen!

    I'm triying to repar because I have several costly software titles that link the authorization key code to a key hardware and software installation.  I don't know that I could reinstall if I get a code (randomly?) different generated software.

    I don't know about i-tunes and other content downloaded my wife has such as MP3 files and audio books.

    Thanks for any help!

    The test fails (SFC) checks for corruption in the files on your system.  If she can't even complete, she suggests the Vista all system needs to be re-installed - but you have already done this and you still have the problem.

    In fact, look like a hardware problem.  Here are some troubleshooting guidelines hardware that can help (but probably not for this question as what you really need, it is a replacement for test):http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.  Frankly, I think it's time to take the system to a repair facility of good reputation for the service computer (or to return to the manufacturer for repair - costs, schedule, guarantees and make a decision).  I don't know what hardware component.

    If you can, try to back up your data before you import it it because they will probably wipe the drive clean during the process. You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (perhaps done on another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, try slaving the drive to another system and access the data in this way.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • winndow will not start due to hardware changes.

    I recently had a fearsome crush at home. Had to replace the card motherboard and CPU. Now, windows will not boot due to the change of material even after running windows repair. What can I do?

    Once you change a motherboard, you should be able to reinstall Vista.

    Vista would have the old drivers of the motherboard installed.

    OK, here's what I, an aspire5515 CAREB, it came with windows vista home basic, I bought windows xp, I want to install but I don't know exactly how do I have everything backed up on disk and ready to make the change but don't want to make a mistake and screw up my computer. Help? I know I'm at the bottom of the ranking, but I heard that it is a better program.

    http://support.Acer.com/

    First of all, go to Acer site and check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

    Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

    Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

    See you soon.
