• Vista does not start after I disabled the service DCOMLauncher

  Hi all.   I really hope that someone can help me with this, because I can't use my computer at all, and I have to use a notebook different to write this post.

  The problem: Windows Vista does not start with the normal settings or Mode without failure.   To be more precise, after Vista starts, he has only a black screen and a limited mouse functionality.

  The background & problem: I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.   I have disabled the DCOMLauncher Service using the program Autoruns from Sysinternal.

  What I tried: I tried to start Vista in Mode safe with no result.

  Thanks to all those who are trying to help me.

  When you choose Safe Mode choose last known good startup.

  As long as your subsequent boots are deemed unsuccessful, which is perhaps not the case, this will start the configuration before using Autoruns.

  Safe Mode command prompt works?

• My cd-writer/DVD disc tray does not open when I press the Open button. He is not blocked and has no disk in it. How can I me t to operate?

  Cd-writer/DVD disc tray does not open when you press the Open button, or when you use the buttons to control the media on the keyboard. How can I restore it to its operating state?

  Hi John,.

  Please let me know exactly what happened when you tried my suggestions of first and second.

  Of your most recent post, looks like you're watching the wrong part of the Device Manager. Optical drive is listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM". The info you gave appear under "drives". If the drive is not listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" or there is no such section in Device Manager, then Windows do not see. If windows can't see it then this means that there is no power or that the drive is broken.

  When you pushed the drive back in, the player no longer has much of the book or did you have to push all the way. If the latter, it means that the drive has no power or is broken.

  With respect to the opening of the case, I guess I should ask first if it's a laptop or desktop?

• I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information

  I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information. and that did not help. What to do now? The comment of Bios makes me fear that it could damage my computer forever. What should do? Help, please

  Hi Alan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the computer does not restart even after running Startup Repair and I will be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made to try to make it work. Let me ask you;

  • How do you run the Startup Repair?
  • Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
  • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  • Have you plugged an external equipment, except the keyboard and mouse?
  • You are able to start the computer in safe mode?
  • What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Note: BIOS change / 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.

  There could be several reasons why he's not leaving including hardware as well. In addition, it could be because the master boot record (MBR) has been damaged. When you try to use the Startup Repair tool to repair the MBR, the Startup Repair tool indicates that no problem was found or it does not work yet.

  If you have any connected USB flash drive or other external devices connected to the computer, if you please, remove them and try to run the Startup Repair tool.

  If you haven't tried using Windows 7 repair disc, you can try the following:

  1. Insert the Windows 7 disc
  2. restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
  4. Select your language, click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair.

  You can also perform the system restore by selecting the restore point when you think it worked very well. System Restore, choose advanced options using the disc.

  Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

  I also recommend to contact the computer manufacturer to get the done diagnostic equipment.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• I thought that if I want my machine to boot faster I can move the fonts of the lokal disk documents folder so it does not start them all at the start

  original title: Fonts folder

  I thought that if I want my machine to boot faster, I can move the folder of fonts of the lokal disk to documents so it does not start them all at the start, and since I got them in the documents that I usually have no error saying that im their lack is this true? I have enough disk space hard as I don't care to remove them the reason why I want to do is if my machine starts as soon as possible thank you in advance!

  Don't listen to anyone who has you said that.
   
  The best way to speed up your computer is to eliminate startup items which are unnecessarily run at startup.  Go to start | Search and type msconfig and then see what is running at startup and what other services are underway then as well.  You can eliminate selectively and then evaluate how fast your computer runs.

  What is the listed program in 'C:\Windows\System32' if you look in Windows Explorer?

  If this is the case, it starts if you click on it?

  Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan.

  Then download, install, update and run a full scan with malwarebytesfree. (Keep free, no need to enter in any trial etc.).

  Then run a sfc/scannow to see what that brings.

• My MacBook does not start and fires after the Apple logo. I received this error via FirstAid detail in disk utility.

  Hi Apple/community,

  I need a help.

  What it means? Operation failed! My MacBook Pro does not start. It cuts after the loading screen. What will happen?

  

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Well, it seems that your MacBook Pro hard drive has failed and cannot be repaired by disk utility.

• Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

  My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

  I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

  The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

  The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

  Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
  During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
  It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

  My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
  Thank you
  I have.

  Hello

  I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

  After that, the system must run again...

• Safari does not start, or crashes on the selection

  My Safari now plays too much upward. It does not start at all. Hangs on the selection, with the message that "Safari quit unexpectedly. " Click open to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple. "I'm using now Firefox - I studied several sites and other problems of sounding similar, deleted the files they suggest, allowed, caches, cookies, removed 3rd party software, (I think it's where my problem started this afternoon, my mobile phone operator, Vodacom detailed billing report requires the software titled 'ecrypt' for open invoices, and started crashing when I tried to open a.) I eventually trashed the software, but to no avail...) and did what you suggested to the person above. I got the following results:

  Step 1.     I signed out and signed him as a guest - user will understand - works Safari very well! Then I logged as Clive Lake, and it crashed immediately, would not start or start and with the same message...

  Step 2.     I rebooted in safe mode after unplugging all devices: No go I'm afraid... I tried several times and I'm actually still in safe mode.

  It would seem that something I did in my profile caused the problem.

  Any advice about where to go from here would be appreciated.

• Windows does not start. Stuck on the WIndows logo or a black screen United

  Original title: BOOT ERROR

  It's been 6 days since my computer is having this problem.i spin asrock pc.the problem is when I restart my computer it doesn't not load some time the screen appears black and sometimes windows logo appears faintly.and when I restart once more, he sows me windows error message it says windows does not start correctly and give me options to start , they start windows normally, sfafe mode, last known good... etc.when I chose an option and start same happens.but when I turned off my pc and wait a minute and start windows boot normally without a problem.is this because of my startup file or something else?

  No, you can't.

  If you have a true bootable XP with SP1 or SP2 installation CD, you can create a new installation CD with SP3 integrated using a process called "slipstreaming".

  It is a pleasure to the project for a day and there are several methods, you can read on the Internet, such as BleepingComputer:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial154.html

  If you want to use the Recovery Console and is not a real XP bootable installation CD or are not sure what you have, simply create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console yourself (without XP media required)

  Here's how:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

• Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

  Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

  In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
  Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

  What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

  When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

  When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
  The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

• X 240 does not start after upgrading to the latest version of the bios

  I bought windows 8.1 factory machine. Then I had the local store install 8.1 on larger ssd. I did just last update of the bios, and now the machine does not start. I'm sure it is bound uefi, but I'm not knowledgeable in this area. The start setting me back by the store was 'only legacy' and secure boot has been disabled.

  It is resolved with a replacement of the cable on the SSD and the system board.
