  my windows vista starts normally until I have pass the user coice screene. After that, I see the cursor but everything is black. What should I do?

  It was probably caused by the removal of any file system as I was scaning the pc for malware and probably deleted some important file. only safe mode works now
  and I need my computer quite urgent for the University.
  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  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.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

  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.

  Windows Vista does not start properly on my HP Pavilion desktop computer.

  Root cause found = A Patch prevents the system from starting, repair Action: verifying the integrity of system files and repair, result: doesn't have a code error 0 x 490.  Auto repair does not work.

• Randonly computer restart when it is started normally

  Originakl title: why my computer restart on its own?

  My computer keeps restarting on its own. It was working fine last night, but then I don't know what happened. It stays on for like a minute or less and then it restarts itself. I even tried to disable automatic reboot, but I did not have enough time and crashes whenever I have try to disable automatic reboot. So I went to safe mode and was able to do, but it did not work when I went back to the normal settings. How can I fix it?

  Hi Kate,

  -Have there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

  -Are you having the same problem in safe mode?

  I suggest the following steps and check.

  Method 1:

   

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If the computer works very well in mode without failure, then follow method 2 and check.

  Step 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state.

  To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

  Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

  Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

  can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

  Picture of the blue screen with lines here: http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8583/post1278441253416372.jpg

  also - im wondering how to start with recov disks? I have two drives but only as on slot dvd thing and I know to start upward with her? should I boot with it because the layout is a little down? and I don't have an installation disc windows vista then Yes.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello Winston,

  According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

  If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

  My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

  Let us know what they have to say.

  Best regards

  Hello danielingalt89,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  Try the rest of the stage in this article:

  System restore points are created automatically when the following occur:

  • When you install a new application or driver.
  • When you uninstall or install some programs.
  • When you install new updates
  • Automatically on a daily interval
  • Manually by creating a.
  • If you choose to use system restore to restore to a previous restore point, System Restore creates a new restore point before you restore a previous state in case something goes wrong. If you are restoring to a previous state in Mode without failure, a restore point will create for the current state.

  So that the restoration of the system to work, you must have 300 MB of free space for each hard disk that monitors the system restore. System Restore will also use up to 15% of disk space on each disk that it monitors. That hard disk space runs out, older restore points will be deleted as newer ones. It is also important to note that you must be logged in as an administrator in order to use the system restore. Now that you understand the basics of the system restore, you must continue to the next section to learn how to use it.

  Restore Windows Vista to a previous state

  In the case of a problem on your computer that cannot be solved by normal means, you can restore your computer to a previous working state. To do this, you need to start restoring the system so that you can choose the restore point to restore. If you currently have Windows Vista boot problems, you can use the system restore in Windows recovery environment. Instructions on how to do it in this tutorial can be found: System Restore using the Windows Vista recovery environment.

  If you can connect to Windows Vista, you must follow these steps.

  1. Close and save any documents that you have opened.
  2. Click the Start button to open your Start Menu. The Start button looks like this:
  3. When the Start Menu open click on the menu option all programs.
  4. Click once on the Start Menu Accessories group.
  5. Click once on the System Tools Start Menu group.
  6. Click once on the icon of the system restore. After you click the icon, if a user account control window opens, click on the button continue.

  You will now be on the screen as shown below in Figure 1 system restore. From this screen, you can specify the restore point that you want to restore.

  1 screen of system restore

  By default, Vista will be already selected the restore recommended option. This restore point is one followed a new pilot program, or update has been installed. If you do not want to use this restore point, you can click on the button next to start the restore process. On the other hand, if there is a more recent restore point that you want to restore you should select choose a different restore point and press the next button. This will bring you to a screen, as shown in Figure 2, which contains a list of all available restore points that you can restore.

  2. the list of available restore points

  You must select the restore point that you want to restore, and then press the button next to start the restore process. Vista will display a window showing your selected restore point and asking you to confirm that it is that you want to restore.

  3. confirm the selected restore point

  If you want to select a different restore point, press the Back button. Otherwise, you can press the Cancel button to exit the system restore or the button finish to begin the restore process. If you have selected finish, Vista will display a second prompt asking you to confirm that you want to continue restoring.

  4. second Confirmation

  If you are sure you want to restore, then press the Yes button. Vista will now log you off the computer and start the system restore process, as shown in Figure 5 below.

  5. restoration of a restore point

  When the restore is complete, your computer will be restarted and when Vista starts it backup will be restored to its previous state. When you open a Vista session for the first time after the restore, you will see a message indicating that the restore was successful.

  6. system restore was successful

  If there are problems with your computer because the last restoration, you can return to your previous settings to ebb in the system restore utility and select Undo system restore by pressing the next button.

  7 undo the last system restore

  Your computer should now work correctly again.

  With the help of the restoration of the system in the Windows recovery environment

  Manual creation of Restore Points

  As mentioned previously, it is also possible to create manual restore depending on points. Some popular designs to create manual restore points are when you have your computer configured perfectly and want to save the State in case of problems in the future. To create a manual restore point, you must follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start button to open your Start Menu. The Start button looks like this:
  2. Click on the control panel menu option.
  3. Click the option menu system and Maintenance.
  4. Click on the system menu option.
  5. Click on the System Protection in the list on the left.

  You will now be at the System Protection tab in the system control panel. This tab allows you to enable and disable the system restore as well as making the new manual restore points.

  8. the System Protection tab

  To create a manual restore point, you must click on the button create. When you press this button a prompt asking you to give a title to this manual restore point.

  9. Enter the manual restore point title

  Type a title for the manual restore point and press the button create. Vista will now create a restore point manually and once finished, post a notice that it was created successfully.

  10. Manual restore point has been created

  Now that you have finished doing the manual restore point, you can close the system window.

  Have you tried to make the clean boot before installing this update. There could be interference or a program context prevents the installation of this update. If you have please ignore this information.

  Clean boot

  We will also test in a clean boot environment to see if this issue is related to interference from other services / programs:
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7 log on to your account.
  ---------------------------------------------------
  Click on start-> all programs-> Windows Update and reinstall the update you mentioned previously.
  ---------------------------------------------------
  To restore your Normal startup:
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)
  2. in the general tab, click Normal startup.
  3. When prompted, click on restart.

  This should solve your problem.

• Satellite p205-s8811 won't start normally or in safe mode just automatically get a black screen

  I started my computer and start the recovery window came. I ran it and it has to solve the problem and computer ran very well. I stopped him and 6 hours more later powered on and the same thing. Startup recovery ran and solved the problem again.  When I looked in the log recovery startup errors he says that there are changes not specified for the configuration of the system. So I decied to do a system restore. The system restore ran, off, rebooted computer and when to start the toshiba system came on the screen. Then went black and never started window. For hard drive light was illuminated as normal, then slowed down, would be possible, and eventually it would flicker just a little more. The screen is black, but you can see the cursor. I pressed the switch to turn on, turn off, wait a little bit. Then turned on and got the screen to start normally, safe mode, safemode promt, European round table. I chose safe mode and it and all the config system starts to roll across the screen, then screen turned black and nothing else happened. So I tried again and chose to start windows normally, but the same thing. Toshiba comes through screen\, hard disk, running, but nothing but a black screen. I don't know if I app\drivers and recovery discs and don't know if it's even the fix. I could really use some help with this. I "ve been out of work for six months due to motorcycle wreck and do not have the funds for the nine. Plese I want to know if it's fixable. Thank you

  Access the link below and try to perform a startup repair, which could help us solve the problem.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925810

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists after you complete the Startup Repair, try to perform a system restore.

  un) Insert the installation disc.

  Note

  The computer must be configured to start from a CD or a DVD. For more information on the configuration of the computer to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.

  (b) restart the computer. To do this, click Start, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  Note

  If you cannot restart the computer by using this method, use the power button to turn off the computer. Then, turn the computer back on.

  (c) set your preferred language and then click Next.

  Note

  In most cases, the Startup Repair process starts automatically, and you do not have to select in the System Recovery Options menu.

  (d) click on repair your computer.

  (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  (f) in the System Recovery Options menu, click System Restore.

  (g) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

  (h) in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  (i) click Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

• Vista starts without GUI

  My Vista is start normally without any error but does not display a desktop (GUI), instead it shows only the mouse pointer in the black screen. This happened after my laptop off accidentally when AC power has failed and the battery was not able to provide the (battery) power.

  Vista does not also login screen

  Running my setting to turn off the display after a certain time, if it is not active.

  There is no other answer to any key except activity occasional normal drive.

  By pressing the sleep button puts to sleep also.

  Display and other things are ok because I can run Windows XP on another partition of the HARD drive.

  Battery seems to be dead, then running on the power for some time.

  Safe mode and other similar startup option gives the same behavior.

  My system:
  HP dv6000 laptop
  Centrino Core2Duo 2 GHz
  2Gb RAM / 160GB HDD
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium SP1

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  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.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

  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.

  system manufacturer will sell them at low prices. Or try in safe mode if you can get there.

  If necessary and you can access all ordinary Windows.

  You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation
  (if all goes well, the data records and need to reinstall programs). Be sure to do a good backup or three.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key.

  If nothing works, you can make a repair facility that must save the data but you will need to
  Reinstall the programs. This also requires correct Vista disks especially for OEM versions. You will be

  Another method that works sometimes: at the command prompt, type of Vista startup disk:
  (a line type or copy and paste one line at a time and hit enter - enter a bracket)
  or "BOLD")

  c:

  cd\

  CD c:\Windows\System32\winevt (there is a space between cd and C :)

  Ren LogsOLD Logs (there are spaces between ren and newspapers and Logsold)

  RESTART Windows

  I hope this helps.
