Vista will not start after update 09/12/2009.
After you install the updates available for me on December 9, 2009, Windows Update wanted the computer to restart to complete the installation. I made and went on my merry way. A while later, I rebooted the computer, but the screen resolution was twisted, is no longer big screen, had compressed air and had a strange grid points, and after the progress bar Windows Vista, the screen remains black - the Welcome screen never showed up.
Kick system repair CD, found 'a fix will prevent' and system restore suggested. Subsequently, attempted to start Vista, but got the same result as before. Tried the CD to repair a few times more and always suggested the same thing, leading me to believe it was not actually the application of the system restore.
Vista is able to boot in safe mode and safe mode with networking and attempted a restoration of the system from there to just before the patch, the night before (a prior restore point updates 12/8) and a point 12/5. In all cases restarted to complete the restoration and then rebooted to see if it worked - never did. Whenever I went to the system restore, it doesn't seem like it had restored any point...
Attempted to launch Windows Update in safe mode, but nothing happened. Went to the windows update website to see if I could get the ActiveX update, but he comes to propose I have run Windows Update from my computer (nice), with no 'help' link or other way to declare that it did not work.
Went into Add/Remove programs to see if there was an installable patch listed, but it does not list something beyond mid-November.
Help. =[
Run the System File Checker (the command is SFC/scannow) from the command prompt. Also check that your system has all virus\malware. Here is a link to a thread with some good information: get rid of malware
You can also run a disk error check as well. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Vista will not start after update 04/09/09
I have a HP tablet PC laptop vista a little home less than 2 years. I downloaded the updates, I unfortunately don't know what they where. My laptop was asked to restart I did. It turn off fine, but when he started toward the top of screen never came. It was late and I went to bed, thinking it was just a long update or something. The next morning, my screen is always black. I tried to start, but nothing happened. In the end I had to pull the battery to make it stop. I started again and the fan kicks on, and the monitor of the black stop at the lit on black as he was about to start, but nothing came on the monitor no splash screen not vista with the loading bar, nothing comes to any delay, not a pixel, not even a beep. I thought that the monitor was bad, so I tested the monitor by plugging it to my PC monitor of office still nothing on this screen, so I'm sure that computers portable monitor is good as all LEDs are lit and all. Food is good, I tested the battery on my friends computer of the same brand, it is fully charged. I can even things power out of usb. The only thing besides it not starting not not the least, is that the cd drive does not open. I brought out a cd holder thing and put my boot in her drive in the hope that something would come on the screen, but still absolutely nothing in black only. I tried to hit all the buttons f not one has nothing. I don't see anything else to do. I don't know how to test anything without any kind from screen. I backed everything up, so if I could get it just to run the boot disk I would take if I had to. Can anyone think of anything to do for her?
If you have no boot at startup screen (Logo of Acer, DEll, etc.), what happens before the operating system starts.
Your graphic/video control what comes on the screen.
I would contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

Vista will not start after update 12/9 - a patch prevents the system from starting.
My computer has downloaded an automatic update on 09/12/09. It restarted while I was at work, and when I got home he had just ran a startup repair function which could not solve the problem. I tried to run the rapair again and it failed. I tried to do a system restore on the eve of the update, but the operating system could not start again, and I was sent automatically the Startup Repair tool.
When I look at the diagnostics, the message says "a patch prevents the system from starting. I have no idea how to solve this problem. Can someone please?
PCrepair101,
You try to use the package manager I link a few post above? Otherwise, demarrer start from your DVD, type command prompt, and then follow the steps in method 2. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/940410
If this does not fix it you can rename the pending.xml file and restart. To do this, boot from the DVD and enter the command line. Then type:
CD windows\winsxs - press on enter
Ren pending.xml pending.old - press on enterThen restart the system.
You said "when I try to do a system restore, it is said that there is no previous restore point" and I was wondering if you have tried a "Startup Repair" not a system restore. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Vista will not start after start or restart.
Since last week, when I first start the computer, change user or log out or reboot, Vista does not start after the log in password stage (after accepting the password). I usually have to restart the computer twice so he could finally enter the Office of habit and I can work as usual.
I tried to let the computer some time at this point to work through and start normally, but it does not work and I have to restart.
I recently updated my anti-virus (BitDefender) for the 2010 edition.
I don't know if is the recent update to Vista which is originally or not.
Uninstall Bit Defender and see if that fixes things. Antivirus programs use low-level drivers which can sometimes cause problems. If the uninstallation of Bit Defender work, use a different antivirus. I recommend ESET NOD32 (commercial) or Avast free. If Bit Defender Uninstalling does not help, then you may experience hardware problems. Failing power supply or hard drive that often produces symptoms such as you describe.

Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.
My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows. All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point. This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States. Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge. I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
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.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. 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.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Re: Vista will not start after the installation of update
About 2 days ago I updated 2 Optional updates through windows update. It was - Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
and somethind to do with sound hdmi (don't know why I got this update ' cos I do not have a hdmi and I accidentally installed it as well).
After that installs Vista won't start so I did a restore of the system in safe mode, and she came back to life, however, isn't in better shape, will probably not not to install Vista all over again.
So be careful when you install these updates.It's weird that they came with windows update. As much I know usually windows update does not update if not needed harddrivers...
You need to update your hardware drivers from the Drivers Toshiba download site and not from Windows update because no one knows if they interfere with the drivers of Toshiba.

Why firefox will not start after update?
Update the alert message. Did a hard stop. Rebooted computer and Firefox will not open.
Maybe during the update some files were corrupted, try a clean reinstall:
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

As indicated in the title, my phone does not after that I updated last night. He mentioned that he will not be able to make any calls or anything for the next 2 hours, but after the time of 2 hours, it seems to fail during startup.
At first, I thought it was battery problem that the screen is not actually light up and so I charge my phone. So I just realized even during the loading, the bright red light (LED) Dungeon blinks from time to time. I look closely at the screen and you can vaguely see the logo of loading.
It is, he does not meet one of the buttons. None of them activate the backlight on the Dungeon of the flashing display vaguely similar to when I first pluged load.
I suspect that's not supported properly.
Please anyone can solve my problem as soon as possible, since one day it stopped working and already cause me trouble.
Thank you very much

Hey fzsq5s
you have also an activation problem because your hp vista oem license is bound to the original material that it came installed
read the information about the oem and sales license in detail below
If your computer is pre-installed with vista, it is classified as an oem license and it is related to the material that it is 1 installed on
as in the foregoing any case at level or the replacement of the motherboard will be done in collaboration with the manufacturer of the computer in your case hp
If he had a retail license you might have upgraded or replace your motherboard you
but you then have to reinstall vista as the old drivers of the motherboard would be still installed
I hope that the foregoing explains things

Vista will not start after replacing the motherboard
The motherboard in my Dell Vostro 220 died for the 2nd time, and this time it's out of warranty. Not wanting
another cheap/defective board from Dell, I bought a compatible Intel replacement from Newegg. After I put
the replacement board in, Vista won't boot. Dell didn't provide an actual Vista cd/dvd, but rather their generic
repair/driver cd, so I can't just reinstall Vista (32bit). I understand that Vista may have problems with the new
motherboard, but didn't realize it wouldn't give me better opportunity to load new drivers from cd that came
with the motherboard. Am I just screwed and going to have to buy a new Windows cd/licence? The log below is
what Windows is reporting: Problem Signatures1 Auto Failover2 6.0.6001.18000.6.0.6001.180003 64 1966115 Bad Driver6 Bad Driver7 08 19 System Restore10 0 OS Version 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
OK, thanks to a thread on DANIWEB here is the solution to my problem - Hiren BootCD (v15.1). MiniXP to start and run difficult HDD controller app. This allowed Vista to boot far enough to get the cd accompanying the motherboard. Later, life is good, Vista hasn't even complained on the new motherboard and licenses.
