• Windows Vista hangs at the Welcome screen. Can anyone help?

  From early December 2009, my Dell Inspiron E1505 said hung up on the 'Welcome' screen, leaving me stuck and cannot use the computer. It would do this every time I tried to start it. Since that time I switch Safe Mode and using the restore system to get it going again. Sometimes, I have to use restore the system several times to allow to start correctly. More recently, I learned that when it hangs at the Welcome screen, I can press "Ctrl-alt-del" and then my computer will load up the icons after about 10 seconds and then it is ready to go.

  I finally started to 'Sleep' mode, and then it starts right up when I want to use it. The problem is that he sometimes stops for updates, or crash if I overload it somehow, and then it's a big problem, it'll still do. ... Well, now I can turn it on by pressing the "Ctrl-alt-del' when it clings to the host, but I don't feel comfortable making. I'm afraid that it will eventually mess worse.

  I have not installed any new software or downloaded anything by email, with the exception, so I don't know what caused this problem. I have the feeling that something has been altered during the automatic update of windows.

  Can someone please help me understand what caused this problem and what to do to fix? I need a walkthrough very detailed, as I am not a computer technician. My experience with computers is very limited, but I do not know a few basics such as obtaining safe mode, etc. My warranty with Dell has long expired. My computer is 3 years old. With the exception of this problem Windows Vista worked great shape. I liked Windows XP much better, but Vista was 'correct' that day until this problem came.

  Thank you: Jean

• Windows Vista - stuck at the "Welcome" screen after the recent crash

  OK, so my computer crashed (Dell) a few days ago, and I had to reset everything back to the card factory, which has deleted all files but those who were on the computer, as it was shipped.  Now, 2 days after the accident (my second my computer boot time) my computer will not cross the "Welcome" screen, or the splash screen.  I'm in safe mode now, incidentally.

  Help, please!

• Vista hangs at the Welcome screen, restore points have been removed. Any help?

  I've had trouble with this during about a week now. For reference, it seemed to just happen out of the blue - have not installed new drivers or hardware (to my knowledge). In addition, tried a restore a few weeks ago point and seemed to work... once. Now I can't explain it, but all the restore points have been removed too!

  I'm not an expert, but I try to tackle these things and could help. Here's what I've done so far:

  -successfully started in safe mode.
  -Open "msconfig".

  -tried to narrow down the suspects with Services' first.
  -Disabled all "Services".
  -Restarted and restarted successfully.
  -Tried to reactivate Services' one by one.

  -I got to the reactivation of service 'IKE and AuthIP IPsec keying modules' and restarted. Met again hung up on the Vista Welcome screen.
  -Restarted in safe mode.
  -Disabled the "IKE" service... ». Restarted fine.
  -Repeat the re - turn on and off cycle again, has got the hang up once more for good measure.
  -Re-enabled all services except the "IKE" service... "and rebooted fine. Working on the computer now. [Dell Inspiron E1505 Laptop, running Vista SP 2 with 2 GB RAM]

  Did some research on this service and I was wondering if it is an essential service that I should be running (see link below).

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733299%28WS.10%29.aspx

  I've saved personal files and try to avoid restarting own Vista, although whereas wiping and running Linux if possible.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  Viza,
  I got exactly the same problem on Inspiron 1501 a parent who tried to correct - i.e. problem hanging welcome screen. I have just updated the drivers wireless to the support.dell.com site and have had 3 reboots success in a row, which is 2 more that I could realize by adjusting the parameters of startup using MSCONFIG. Interest how did you decide to update the wireless drivers?

  Hey Sparky9404

  You can try a system restore and a layout of a disc repair service

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Fix a Startup:

  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.

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.

• How can I force the Welcome screen on a single user without password?

  There must be a way to force the Welcome screen for the log after starting, even if only one user on a Vista computer has no password. I searched high and low nothing helps, any help appreciated, thanks.

  Try this:

  Back up your Windows registry database, this might help:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

  Then go to run and type regedit or regedit.msc

  In the Windows registry and search for this address of the registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

  Then look for

  Administerator REG_DWORD

  And you will see the value as 0x000000

  try to make 0 x 00001 or turn it into 1, simply click on it.

  If the administrator is not there, then right-click on the page and try to create the new DWORD value and name it:

  Administrator

  Make sure that the spelling is correct, and then take the value 1. Then reboot your PC and it should work.

  Note that working with registry is risky make sure that you back up before doing these steps. and if the problem happens then restore backup back.
