• Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

  Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

  (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

  (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

  (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

  Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

  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.

• Vista starts with a black screen

  original title: Windows does not...

  I have Linux in stalled as well as Windows Vista. When I turn on my computer and GNU GRUB appears there are 3 options of Windows - vista, xp embedded and the recovery environment. No matter which one I click on the black screen with a underscore in the top left corner appears and never goes away. Vista came pre-installed on my Acer laptop and I don't have an installation disc. Pressing F8 does nothing.

  Is it fixable or do I need a new drive?

  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.

  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

  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

• T60 x 1400 victory 8.1 x 64-screen black after start-up

  Hello

  my config - T60 with ati x 1400, I use win 8 x 64 and it works fine for me.

  But I would jump up to 8.1.

  I was working on win 8.1 x 64 before, but I decided to downgrade due to a very annoying problem.

  After the closing start system again that the screen was completely black (no cursor even), but I can hear that the system is running in the background. He helped bring my laptop for the sleep/hibernate and wake up again. Black screen does not appear if I use sleep/hibernate implementation, but only if turn off pc by shutdown system.

  I have install the ati drivers for vista support page lenovo T60, avoiding "setup.exe" and ccc, only pure graphics driver, installed through properties of the graphics card.

  Earn 8 x 64 this method works very well, the 8.1 looks the same, but then this problem with black screen appeared.

  Maybe I have to stay forever on win 8...

  I wonder if anyone has had problems familiar and may have found way to solve?

  Thanks for any help.

  I work on win 8.1 now.

  After the upgrade, the screen black problem appeard again, but this time with the visible mouse pointer.

  I had to disable the "quick start" option in the power manager.

  I think I read on this solution that somewhere, but long ago had no faith in it.

  Anyway, the problem was gone, and I am a user happy windows 8.1. For a long time, I hope.

• Vista Start black normal & all Security Modes, restore fails, screensaver ŒUVRES

  Yesterday (18/06/09) I installed a few new updates, but is not a restart.  Today, the system was sitting idle (, but nobody use it) and we had a power failure.  Restart the system wanted to make a volume control.  During the audit, he found a bunch of bad index entries.  The files went flying by pretty fast, but I could tell that many of them had something to do with Media Center.  Then later in the repair of the volume, she added a bunch of orphaned files.  I couldn't give a sense these files because all the entries were similar to Hex IDs.

  So that brings us to today.  The system starts with black screen with a mouse pointer.  System knows I have 2 monitors connected & I can move the mouse between the two monitors.  With the help of other boots (via F8 in the boot menu) produced similar results, except in safe mode boots, the system does not know the 2nd monitor.  CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing.  (Do NOT bring up the Task Manager.)  The SHIFT key to display the Sticky Keys dialog box.  After a while, the screen saver turns on.  With screensaver KB/mouse activity outputs and system back to black screen.

  All the security startup black screen Modes.
  Low-resolution video starts with black screen.
  Black screen on startup of the diagnostic Mode.
  Directory Services Restore Mode reports all my disks are clean and black screen on startup.
  Sleep key works.  Wake up, the system returns to black screen.

  OK, here's a little recap... BLACK SCREEN!

  So next I tried the repair your computer...

  Log in to my account admin OK.  Then I tried to Startup Repair which could not detect a problem.  Then I tried the system restore.  System Restore is all my restore points registered in April ' 09.  System Restore Gets an error and fails to load any restore point.  I have two different messages depending on what point of restoration, I try.

  2 most recent restore points are of yesterday and today and the updates, I just installed but never rebooted before the power failure disk check.  When I try these 2 restore points, I get the following:

  The configuration register is corrupted. (0x800703F1)

  If I try the old restore points, I get:

  Cannot open the file transactionally, because its identity is function
  on the outcome of a transaction not resolved.  (0x80071AA7)

  Reading through the error of this last web messages makes me think to there is a bad dependency in the update / restore of the system process.  If pending updates become corrupt, old restore points will fail.  Is this true?
   
  I can boot from a CD-ROM of 3rd party and see my programs and data on the disk.  I did a full inspection, but it seems that all of my stuff is still there.

  So finally I tried to reinstall my Vista system, and my only option is to replace my entire system.  The update option is grayed out.  I used to be able to do a re-install/upgrade to update in the old days (XT & before), but it seems that it's not possible with Vista.  It would be great if I had my old system before SP1, and then I could re - install SP1 & all of my updates.  But it would be impossible for me to recreate my 1 TB from scratch system.  Simply, I have enough DVDS to back up a lot of data.

  Is there a solution to my boot at the digital black problem, or I'm really screwed?  A reasonable solution is much appreciated.

  ==============

  UPDATE...

  I can access shared folders on the blackened on Vista machine.  I created my user account on another computer (Win XP) and am also able to access all my user files.  In addition to the screen saver and the sticky keys work, it seems that file sharing works also.  However, the printer share and office remotely (using Ultra VNC) do not work.

  Hey Ken, I just reread your post previous and tried your procedure.  Are your steps to perform a repair install on Windows site:

  1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

  2. on the Install Windows page, click install now .

  3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

  4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

  5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license .

  6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

  7 follow the instructions.

  Note : If your installation disc doesn't include SP1 , and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates , then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

  Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the first step.  Start a Windows installation when executing my existing version of Windows when my existing version of Windows starts with a black screen, and the only interaction of console, I am able to do what a screen saver and the Sticky Keys dialog box?  What is the trick to start installation?  I can't find.  Is there a way to launch the installation with the keys dialog box to sticky?

  In addition, in the case where I, how to uninstall SP1 from a black screen?  The dialog box of the sticky keys which they as well?

  I know that other messages that other users could not bring up the Task Manager with CTRL-ALT-DELETE.  As I said in my original post, I can't do it.  THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS FOR ME IS THE STICKY KEYS DIALOG BOX.  So I do not buy any version of Vista at all costs will have what I need because Windows Vista just can't do a re - installed on-site if your Windows Vista is not running after a black screen.  Right?

  I'm getting very frustrated and would be very grateful for any help.  I just can't figure how to get the computer do anything when the only thing it starts is a black screen.  And none of my restore points can be restored.  I thought that the system restore has been the goal of the restoration of the system.  Why my Vista system locks my system restore? I don't understand!

  I think that this last update not to not fill properly and locked up my system.  Is it possible for me to undo than a black screen or a Setup disk?

  BTW, Western Digital diagnostics transmitted without error.  Then at the command prompt on my Vista disk, I ran chkdsk and it fixed some files.  I think they were just left by a system restore failed.  So I ran sfc from the command prompt using sfc/scannow damaged = c: \ /offwindir = c:\windows.  He ran for a while and there was no violation of integrity.  If the drive seems fine.  Are there tools that can help me find the problem?  Is that what I can do to restore the registry to an earlier time manually?

  Andy1502_a,
  If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Windows 7 starts problems with black screen and the cursor because of power failure

  I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OS. Start-up problems arose after the power failure (accidentally unplugged the charger, the battery was not in place) during a video call in Skype. Accessories attached to the laptop at the time were a Logitech Webcam, a dongle Bluetooth, microphone and headphones.

  When starting my laptop Asus N81VP, he'll go as far as the 'Starting Windows' logo, then I meet a black screen with a mobile cursor. I don't then right click, CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

  I tried the things:

  Start Up Repair = "cannot automatically repair."

  System Restore = no available restore points

  Windows Memory Diagnostic = at 100%, no screen of detected problems, then black with mobile cursor

  Networking Mode Safe Mode/Safe = black screen with cursor mobile

  Activate video low resolution (640 x 480) = black screen with cursor mobile

  Good known Configuration = black screen with cursor mobile list

  Start Windows normally = black screen with cursor mobile

  Please help me. I've had this laptop for less than a year, and it would break my heart to have to re - format.

  You seem to have exhausted most of the options available in such cases, except two:
  D ' log in under a different account.
  -To restore your registry files manually. See below for more details.

  On your heart that could get broken: have you considered using the imaging facility that is integrated with Windows 7? You can find it in the control panel / backup and restore. This is somewhat marginal in the feature and it can be finicky, but it saved my butt several times.

  You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
  3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
  4. Select repair when prompted.
  5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
  6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
  DIR C:\Win*
  Dir D:\Win*
  dir E:\Win*
  until you find the Windows folder.
  I'll call this "Q:" drive
  7 type these commands:
  CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
  xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
  CD RegBack
  dir
  8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
  9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
  copy software / y...
  /y copy system...
  /y copy Sam...
  (the two points are part of each order)
  10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

• No start tone and black screen on G5

  Kernal panic, stop G5.

  Market - no start-up tone; black screen; no answer.

  Fans have started.

  Any ideas?

  Have you tried the PRAM reset? Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the tone of starting for the second time.
