• Vista freezes as user login screen boots

  A few months ago, my Dell Inspiron 1720 frozen without any provocation. When I restarted it, it froze once more that the Windows logo appears and the user startup boting login screen. In order to clarify this does not happen during connection attempts, it happens before that anything on the computer is even affected once the login screen begins to load. Once he did that, the cylindrical blue light on the side that normally flashes while the computer is running flashing completely stopped. It's happened every time I tried to start the computer, even if it still starts in Mode safe with no problems. I tried running sfc/scannow in safe mode, however once the scan is completed, nothing happened, and the issue not resolved.

  I thought that it would be the hard drive as it was 5 years old at this point. Once I replaced the hard drive, it seemed indeed to fix. However two months later the computer freezes in the uplogon initialization screen even once, is not the hard drive, after all.

  I tried to use the windows installation DVD to use the Startup Repair tool, but it did not find any problem with the computer. I am quickly enough on the hope that I can fix this computer and am desperate for any type of solution other than "replace". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You have the right correction.

  Since you last post, I read a thread in the Forums where the OP was bluescreening in Normal Mode and it turns out to be what you think your problem is too much, drivers network adapter...

  He has installed the latest drivers for it, no more problems.

  Fingers crossed :)

  See you soon.

• Laptop Vista stops at the login screen, works ok in safe mode.

  I have a 2 year old Vista laptop. The other day, I went to start and it loaded in the log on screen, and when I entered my password, the whole system just stopped. I tried to boot from the CD, and it's the same thing. I was worried that it was a hardware problem, but when I force him to start safe mode, it is not closed.

  I was going to do a system restore, but it tells me that there is no restore point (no idea how this could be!). So I'll try to transfer my data to an external hard drive and do a reset, but it does not recognize that I hooked up an external hard drive when I'm in Mode safe. (even the Safe Mode with networking).

  I went into msconfig and disabled all THE programs that have started up with Vista (there were many things maybe 6 total) and then I have it load beyond the log on screen, but while I tried to plug in the hard drive and transfer my data, you stop in again.

  Help, please!

  Laurie

  Hi Laurie,

  You can try to disconnect the external hard drive and check to see if you can boot into normal mode.

  If you can start, you can leave the cleanboot State computer and disconnect the external hard drive and check the event viewer for the recent event logs, that is causing the problem.

  You can update the event logs to help us continue troubleshooting.

  Check out the link:

• Vista Home Premium in case of failure BSOD STOP: 0 x 00000050 (0x803F5255, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 87670510)

  Hello, world

  While working on the eve of Christmas on my Acer Aspire laptop (under Windows Vista Home Premium) a Blue Screen Of Death appeared and my system crashed.

  When the computer reboots, asked to choose among safe Modes or start Windows normally. I, perhaps foolishly, chose the latter.

  The first thing I noticed was the absence of the Microsoft logo when the login screen was supposed to be loading. After that, the slider pointer floating around a black, blank screen before an another BSOD appears. I took a picture of this BSOD for reference.

  He said PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with a STOP code: 0 x 00000050 (0x803F5255, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 87670510)

  The system then is crushed and repeated to do this at the same point regardless of my choice to start with one of the Security Modes or normally.

  After searching the forums, I decided to create a recovery disk (my original ones being inaccessible for the moment) a download, placing the ISO image file to CD - R. After the system boots to the CD/DVD drive first, I was able to boot from the recovery disk and access the System Recovery options.

  First of all, Startup Repair could detect no problem. Restore the system told me I had no restore points. Memory sweep found nothing abnormal. Command prompt told me, when I used the command CHKDSK/F/R, thatfile system is NTFS . that he "cannot lock current drive; and "Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it iswrite protected ."

  All the experts, I beg you

  What can I do?

  Thank you very much

  Stuart

  Hello

  ·         You have the encrypted drive?

  You can try these:

  (a) go into the Windows Recovery environment command prompt

  (b) then type 'diskpart' and press on enter.

  (c) volume of Type 'list' and press on enter.

  (d) then 'select volume xxx' (where xxx is the write protected problem drive)

  (e) then type 'clear readonly attributes volume. "

  (f) then the output command.

  (g) then try to run chkdsk.

• Vista Home Premium, black screen after my login and my password entry

  Hi all

  A month ago I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 comes pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. Like many others I am now a problem with a "black screen" that hang up the machine after my login and my password. "

  When I start the machine it seems to load normally I do it at the login screen, I select my account (admin) and enter my password. The windows logo appears, and then a status bar starts indicating that the OS is laoding. Shortly after that I get a black screen on (which means that the display is on but list black). I tried to start safe mode, but I get the black screen it so.

  Like others the machine was working great until this point. I was using AVG Free edition and I am always very careful on viruses.

• Suddenly blocked on my home Windows Vista login screen. Does not recognize my password.

  I have Windows Vista and last night, while "standby mode", my laptop started a search of self-checking on the MS Dos operating system disk.  When I went to use my laptop, I interrupted the search and then asked if I wanted to take.  Have no real choice to exit the screen MS-DOS - other than to say Yes (because I'm not a techie) I decided to resume.  The search is over and my login screen comes on then.  At this point, I typed my password and now it does not recognise my password!

• Black screen with cursor, no login screen; Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

  Hi all

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 running Win7 Home Premium 32 - bit with IE9. It worked perfectly fine for over a year. The last update listed in the system restore was on 23/04/2011. He installed the Windows updates.

  My husband used the computer very well the next morning. When I tried to start the computer, it wouldn't so I thought that maybe the battery should be charged. I plugged it in and nothing helped. The load button wouldn't even nothing worked at all. I bought a new battery and it came yesterday. I changed the batteries and let one over new-completely. I then tried to start the computer and he did something I could not do in months... He ran the disk check.

  The disk check lasted almost 2 hours. He wouldn't let me cancel it either. He said (from the pieces that I could see) that system files have been moved, a ton of them said that they have been replaced, others have been removed, and some have been updated. I knew not what do when it restarted because it did it is normal startup, showed at the Windows startup screen and then when I thought he was going to the login screen, it became black and only the cursor has been visible and moving.

  I restarted again and this time the display of incorrect closing came. I tried all the options - normal mode, safe mode safe mode w/networking and safe mode w/prompt - all results were the same. Then I tried using the recovery tool to fix the problem. Startup Repair showed no problem, System Restore showed either deleted or corrupted files and I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it showed no problems. I even ran the Diagnostic tool in the start menu.

  I think that chkdsk deleted my files of Windows, but I don't know how to get back them. I have the OS disk and tried to use the repair feature, but nothing yet. Also, I had to ask my husband did it to my laptop and he answered nothing. So I had to be more specific, and his answer to my questions were: ' I didn't download anything "and" I just closed the laptop, I never disconnected or shut it down. I guess that's the reason for the battery works not properly the next day.

  If someone could help me with this, I would be very grateful.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - Double
  Click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right-click on

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in two regular windows
  and Safe Mode) is to CTRL + ALT + DEL - Manager tasks and the
  Processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it-
  then on the Applications tab - lower right kind - new task - in
  EXPLORER.exe. Safe Mode is available by pressing F8 repeatedly

• KB2296011 causes the blank screen in Windows Vista Home Premium?

  I'm troubleshooting an issue with an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop. After Tuesday October 12 updates, the laptop goes to a blue screen after authentication with any account. There is a mobile cursor mouse, but nothing else. C/a. gives the menu, but "Start Task Manager" has no effect, restart will only work.

  I am able to login normally mode without failure. Remove the update KB2296011 removes the problem, I narrowed down it to only this update. It is now necessary to restart and use system restore to go back before this particular update to access Windows.

  I did the following to troubleshoot:

  (1) I tried to install the system update tool, which had no effect.

  (2) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually after downloading, the problem returns after installing.

  (3) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually mode without failure by another post here, but this is not possible, which gives the following error: "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c.»  This service cannot be started in Mode safe. »

  It seems up to present have no way to obtain this update to install without the origin of the white screen issue. Please advice, thank you.

  OK, it looks like at this will be my last post.

  This technician seems to address the issue much differently from the rest. After the things we have done in my previous post, he seems convinced that the problem occurs when this security update is installed, it thinks it's UAC which is damaged, and possibly other files. If its resolution suggested the problem is to run a repair on Vista installation, in order to repair potentially damaged or corrupted files. This would correspond well with hijackware theory posted earlier, too.

  It seems door by another symptom not reported to me or noticed until now. With or without UAC enabled, standard users cannot connect. It passes the connection, in the preparation of your office for a disconnection. Administrative users can connect very well. As the primary user of the machine is an administrator (of course!), this was not noticed until I created a Standard user to test and found this problem.

  I hope than a repair installation (or even better, an upgrade, as I prefer to simply wipe the HD and start over) will solve the problem. The machine has 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz dual core chip, so I think it can handle very well (my wife does mobile) Win7.

  I hope that all of this novel, we have written here will help others as well.

• Vista Home Premium boots with black bands on the sides of the screen and features limited after d/l-ing Windows updates

  Hello

  My Dell Inspiron 530 has recently started having problems starting. When I turn it on regularly, Windows Vista Home Premium starts with black bands on each side of the screen and your desktop extended / enlarged which does not display the start menu or the taskbar. I can navigate in the Panel, but when I click on the resolution of the screen, nothing happens and I'm unable to change the screen resolution. When I use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel, I can reduce the size of the desktop icon, but the taskbar, nor start menu appears on the screen. I noticed that I can't start programs when the computer is in this State as well.

  I think that this problem started after I downloaded a game from 3 updates of Windows, but I do not know what updates they were.

  I am able to start safe mode and the office fills the screen normally. I don't know what steps I can take mode without fail to solve the problem of normal startup, however.

  Please let me know I you a glimpse into this situation because it is extremely frustrating. Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

  "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

  Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

  "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  See you soon.

  Hello

  When I turn on the laptop, all I get is a black screen after screen of the bios at startup. Never done anywhere. He won't let me go in safe mode, it will not go to any login screen. I tried Startup Repair with Vista disc, and he says that it's been fixed, but still does not start. I've done it many times. I tried to let the part installation that moves the windows to the windows.old and creates a new copy of windows, and this did not fix it. I tried hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL in the black screen and this causing the laptop to reboot.

  If anyone has any ideas, maybe something, I may have missed. I tried almost everything people have posted here. I wouldn't completely re - install if I have to.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hello

  Because it is a windows.old the re - install should be fixed if possible. Since then, there is not your
  the choices are a clean installation, which seems to work since the new installation of drive has done, or is a hard-
  problem of dishes with the old drive.

  Black screens are very difficult to manage. You can put the drive in another computer or in a
  external USB box and saving the data on removable media. Then put the reader in the
  computer and do a clean install.
