• Vista Service Pack 1 update fails - computer will not start and cannot be repaired

  The computer which is an Acer desktop computer, running Windows Vista Premium.  In the last 6 months updated Vista tried Service Pack 1 update to install Vista about 8 times and failed every time a reason any.  Just before this latest incident, a facility was "cancelled" in the Middle for some reason any.  I restarted the computer and almost immediately was advised that there is an update, which turned out be SP-1.

  I started the update, and some time later I received a message that the update was successful, and that he had to be restarted the computer.  I clicked on the button restart and the Installation continues during the shutdown.

  When the computer tried to restart initialization failed and I ended up after several lines of information that looked as if it might be checking drivers and then information began to look as if she might be reading the register lines.  Each line has 2 numbers separated by a slash (/), who scored on a single line at the top of the screen, (white letters on black background) after a certain time the count to stop with the line of text of flickering on the same entry.

  It is the line that goes to the screen when the information keeps changing.

  !! 0xc01a001d!  37636/92292 (\Registry\Machine\components\winners\x86...)

  Since the failure of the Windows Vista SP1 update, when the system begins to start, after a short while, he starts playing what seems like lines in the registry, and after a few moments he always stops with the same accurate information just flicker.  At this point, it seems that this scenario will continue forever.  The hard drive is accessible, as if trying to read something, over and above.  The hard drive light flashes, instead of being on regularly, but only for a while.  After that, even the flickering stops.

  I have tried to start mode without failure, then after loading some files and after some time (5 or 10 seconds) the displayed files always end with the same file at the bottom of the list and what seems to be a status extend the message please know...  Shortly after the screen is empty, the fails to start and the computer is restarted.

  Usually what will happen is that the computer will begin to start up again, but because the previous boot failed, it asks if you want to go to startup repair, which, at first, seems to work fine, but after a little time it brings up a dialog box asking if you want to restore to the previous good Restore Point.  The display will then return to the same routine he had previously, and she runs to always if not interrupted.

  If you click the Cancel button, a message appears indicating that you cannot interrupt the current process, so the only way that you can try something else is to Shut Off the Power in now the switch down, permanently.

  [Note: the notes above have not all accurate messages, Word for Word, exceot for the Hex error line.]

• Windows Vista startup in the Boot Manager Windows Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe and this isn't the start of the DVD

  Original title: Windows Vista upgrade to Windows boot disk boot manager is located in the computer but will not start up installation disc

  Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe

  Hi WillieGuyton,

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  (2) remember to make changes?

  (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

  (4) what is the number of brand and model of your computer?

  Method 1:

  Step 1: disconnect any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

  Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

  How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

  Run the tool to restart system as shown in the link below
  How to use Startup Repair?

  
  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  Set the first boot device in the DVD in BIOS to boot from the Windows Installation DVD. To do this, see the documentation that came with the computer.

  Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below for the restoration of the Boot Configuration database (BCD) store

  A few weeks ago, I tried to start my Windows Vista laptop (Compaq Presario F730US) a few hours after the previous use, and after trying to start windows, I got error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Ive tried the system restore/repair, and safe mode... Unfortunately, I never had or did a backup drive, so I can't reinstall windows... even if I'm sure that these are the files to problem. Any help would be apprecaited. Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you recently added any hardware? Have you updated any drivers just before this started? (Check
  Panel configuration-updates of Windows to see if all drivers have been updated it there all the time it started)
  Main likely culprits are video driver, other great drivers, memory and antivirus/antispyware/security
  products could be at fault as well as reader questions.

  Use the troubleshooter below and refer to the following message to drivers and memory when you get to
  These sections and then back to the resolution of the problems according to the needs.

  BCCode: 50 0 x 00000050

  Cause

  The BCCode 50 usually occurs after the installation of the installation of a faulty material or failure of
  material (usually associated with defective RAM, either main memory, L2 RAM or RAM video cache).

  Another common cause is a defective system service installation.

  Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS volume.

  Solve the problem

  Solve a defective hardware problem: If the material has been added to the system recently, remove it to see
  If the error recurs. If the hardware failure existing, remove or replace the faulty component. You must run
  Diagnostics of material provided by the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the owner
  Manual for your computer.

  Fix a defective system service: Disable the service and confirm that this resolves the error. If so,.
  Contact the manufacturer of the system service on a possible update. If the error occurs during the system
  startup, restart your computer, and then press F8 at the menu character mode that displays the operating system
  choice. In the Windows Advanced Options menu that results, select the last known good Configuration
  option. This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time.

  Solve a problem of antivirus software: Disable the program and confirm that this resolves the error. If she
  is the case, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible update.

  Fix a corrupted NTFS volume: Run Chkdsk /f /r to detect and repair disk errors. You must
  Restart the system before the start of the analysis of disk on a system partition. If the SCSI hard disk, check for
  problems between the SCSI controller and the drive.

  Finally, check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
  device or the driver that generated the error. Disable the cache in memory of the BIOS might also resolve it.

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

  Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.
  http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Vista/vista_event_viewer.htm

  MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.
  TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a period of time instead of the entire file.

  Also this, so you can see the probable bluescreens.

  Windows Vista restarts automatically if your computer encounters an error that requires him to plant.
  http://www.winvistatips.com/disable-automatic-restart-T84.html

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

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the info from the blue screen that would be
  Help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And any other information such as STOP error
  codes and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

  It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information

  BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during "blue screen of death," collisions
  Displays information on all the "crash" of a table - free
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/blue_screen_view.html

  BlueScreens many are caused by old or damaged drivers, video drivers in particular, but there are other causes.

  You can follow these steps in the Safe Mode if necessary or the command prompt Vista DVD or Options of recovery if your
  system installed by the manufacturer.

• Satellite A100 PSAARA - Boot Fail

  Model - satellite A100 PSAARA-055007
  OS - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
  BIOS Version 5.10

  Problem.

  The wil laptop no bootinto windows.
  POST returns full and then fails to start windows. In the upper left corner of the screen, it shows TBX error.
  The lack of loading, he doesn't want to load windows normally or in SafeMode etc...

  I tried each of the options without success. Some research has shown that need to Flash the bios with the latest version, because it may be damaged.
  I downloaded the latest version of the bios that is V6.00. I extracted the file on another laptop. It burned to a bootable dvd and then tried to run the .exe program, but he could not run. This is due to the program who need to run under win32. I can't run this file on windows because it does not load windows. I have no recovery disk either...

  My questions are

  The bios goes to work to solve the tbx error flashing?
  If so how do I Flash the bios from a bootable dvd?
  If this is not the case, can someone advise please how to do this.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I think that new OS install should help you solve this problem.
  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disc, then try to start from the common drive of Microsoft.
  You can also try to boot from a live CD as PartBE or WinPE
  Google for it. This allows you to create a live CD that will start the unit without installation of the OS.
  This allows you to access the files on the HARD drive.

• Cannot install Vista SP2 on a boot system double GRUB bootloader

  I can't install the Vista SP2 on my system dual-boot, GRUB bootloader. SP2 through the complete installation process fails at the end of step 3, and uninstalls. Is this because I use the GRUB bootloader? Is there a workaround and if so, what?

  Set the boot on your Vista partition indicator and only this partition. Grub should continue to work properly, but have a convenient, just Linux boot disk in case you need to reinstall back to Linux.
