• Laptop freezes on Windows startup screen (start)

  Freezes my laptop Envy15-3000 starting up.  It makes only to the Windows startup screen and then icons Microsoft stop moving.  This has happened since Tuesday (8/12).  I ran checks and the memory and hard drive (quick and full) test came back positive - i.e. without problems.  I finally decided to reformat yesterday (8/14).  He gets throughout the process of reformating until he wants to start the system for the "first time" (I guess this will be the last time it restarts in the recovery process) and always freezes on Windows startup screen.  If I try to hard cock off and try any other start up option I can think (Safe Mode, etc.), it says failed to retrieve and asks me to try again, get the details or Save Log.  When I try again, it goes back to freezing.  Therefore, I am now in an endless loop of another attempt of the retrieve to access the windows screen start freezing.

  All I want to do is wipe the hard drive and reload everything.  I'm not interested to recover the old data I backed everything up.  I have had no error messages on my sleeve it, memory, tests etc, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed.  Help, please!  Thank you.

  PS: I have the original 7 provided with the system recovery/windows DVD player.

  Hello

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DrirveView - set the VIEW to hide
  Microsoft drivers - update those without drain in their names. (Also update BIOS and)

  drivers chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard.)

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• I'm stuck on my laptop Windows 8 and cannot unlock my Microsoft account. How can I return to my laptop?

  My mother had a new laptop from Windows 8 for Christmas. Woohoo! She already has a Windows Phone, so she has a Microsoft account.

  When she first signed in her computer, she didn't use his account of Microsoft, so she used a different email address. We had him go back and link their account to a Microsoft Account, but she could not remember the password to MY (her phone does not require it to remember). So, while she has access to his account of MY through his phone (email, skydrive, Messenger, etc.), she can't connect to it via the web or their new computer. To further complicate the things, all this switching autour led to forget the password, she chose when she first signed in the (local account on the) laptop.

  So, now it is totally locked out of his computer. We tried to reset her password to MY, but unfortunately the security only option we have is to send it to an e-mail address that is not fully illustrated and must be incorrect, because we never received the email to reset. Ugh.

  Yes, Yes, we should have remembered the password. Yes, we should add more security options (such as the telephone number of its Windows Phone). This isn't the issue, the question is: how the hell we have access to his laptop again?

  A question is: How do we get access to mastery again? We tried three or four times to give all the information they ask for (last addresses sent e-mail to the last e-mail subject lines, etc.) without success (despite the fact that it can send and receive emails from its Windows Phone). We do not have a credit card or other billing associated with his account information and it did not create folders to email him (and apparently, can't make his phone).

  It gets really frustrating - there should be a way to talk to a human being or something that can reason better than Microsoft account unlocker automated tool.

  Last updated on 26/12/12:

  It is interesting that my mother would have access to his account (e-mail, skydrive, e-mail) via his phone but, since she don't remember not his password to his laptop or the live.com site. It is also interesting that even if she has a phone that is obviously linked to his account, it cannot receive a text (or messenger note or same email) with a link to security number/password or password reset via his phone.

  If anyone with the ability to listen, my mother could really use a link reset password secure e-mail to its live.com account, so that it can reset his password on his phone!

  Otherwise, I think it's just going to return the laptop Windows 8. They do not have give it an OS reinstall the drive, which is the only other thing I can think to recover his system...

  PS: It would also be nice if Microsoft would publish an email address on their account or email recovery page such that when the process fails, there is another available for persons other than simply to try new way (which is, as some claim, the definition of insanity).

  Thank you!

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

• How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

  How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

  You can by placing a shortcut in the startup folder of windows, just like any other windows program.

  However if you do, you are likely to encounter problems such as downloading email while still load the antivirus and the network is busy, announcing the arrival of machines on the network (which can be a network a) and any other program of a dozen are loading is heavy risk of timeouts and disconnections of the server as well as error messages that make little sense because they are something that still load.

  The bottom line is so safe that you can, but if there are any questions bring her out of there first.

• Qosmio G10: Qosmio and Windows startup Logo only appears during startup

  Hi all

  Strangely, I turned on the laptop and a white screen is all I can see - not even the backlight of the TFT screen. For I type my password to start blindly and press on enter, and the computer does its thing for 45 seconds (still nothing on the screen and no backlight either) and then all of a sudden the screen password of Windows and the backlight lights up as usual.

  So, indeed even if I can access my computer as usual, I can't access my BIOS, or make changes to the Windows startup.

  I haven't got a clue what the problem is? Any ideas?

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP for a warranty replacement drive. Refer to the troubleshooting forum and give the representative of I.D. failure HP support: Q4QG9R-54T6LD-9XL03G-60QM03d if requested.

  If it is in warranty, just buy a replacement and remove the original disc and put the new in its place.  Insert the first diskette in recovery agree for the warning to commit to a recovery and image selection recovery plant.
