Hello

In series 2 do you mean Service Pack 2?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

AS you cannot use F8, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
  3. Advanced Tools Overview
  4. Conclusion

If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

Here is a link to it:

This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs) to do a startup repair.

Vista ultimate is available. Read the information in the lower part of the message on how to use it for other editions of Vista:

  • white screen after update; Unable to get the computer to open even in SafeMode (Sony Viao Vista)

    After you start this morning, had a message saying necessary to revive the updates to take effect.  Rebooted and got blank screen for a long time.  Did a hard STOP.  Have tried rebooting but it just cans.  Have you tried to reboot (drums on the introduction of Microsoft screen), normally in safe mode (with and without networking) - cans after loading files Windows with "Please wait...". ».  Help!

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  • Satellite P300 - white screen after waking from sleep state

    I'm having this problem:
    The LCD screen may be empty when the computer is "awakened" from the sleep state. Nothing is visible on the internal LCD or an external monitor.

    There seems to be a solution:
    An update of the firmware for a component in the main circuit of the computer solves this problem. This update must be performed by an authorized Toshiba (ASP) Service provider. Until arrangements are made for the update, restart the computer by pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

    described here: [white screen after awakening from fallback status | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1642844&moid=1209152]

    In fact, I think I'm able to solve myself, and I don't like not my laptop to be gone for two weeks or more. I just need some advice on where to find a correct upgrade.

    Hello

    > An update of firmware for a component in the main circuit of the computer solves this problem. This update must be performed by an authorized Toshiba (ASP) Service provider. Until arrangements are made for the update, restart the computer by pressing the power on button for a few seconds.
    If you check the Toshiba document you would see that your Satellite P300 is not related to this issue.

    In your case I would recommend upgrading the BIOS and graphics driver.
    In addition to keep your operating system up-to-date.

    I had this problem under Win XP and a MS patch and an update of the graphics card driver helped solve this problem.

  • White screen after log-in

    I have a white screen after login, but it lasts for about 30 seconds my desktop appears.  Any ideas?

    I ran Microsoft Security Scanner and everything out very well.  I have McAfee Anti-virus works as well.

    Hello LA_Hay,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

    A problem with the card installed on your system, might be a major cause of the problem. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: If you do not have the white screen in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: See "How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem persists, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Update your graphics card.

    1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Security, and then, under System, click the Managerof peripheral . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of hardware categories, find the display adapters and select the device driver you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
    3. Click the driver tab, click Update driver, and then follow the instructions. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    For more information, visit the below mentioned link:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    If you are not able to update the device driver via windows update, you can visit your computer or graphics card manufacturer's Web site and download & install the latest driver.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Wanted: White screen after 10 Windows Update - problem even when back in windows 8.1

    Hello

    I've updated to windows 10 and after a few hours, the main screen of my laptop went blank but my second monitor that I use with a HDMI cable still works.

    Here is a screenshot - one screen shows white and I'm typing this on screen 2 (continue below)

    I've updated my drivers in Device Manager but problem persists, here's my profile for screens and link to full

    (continue below photo)

    Complete specifications

    http://Speccy.Piriform.com/results/ZRXCgJC8x3PrsszxBodRVhn

    From my understanding the cables of the screen white screens LCD is still, this problem started after the update of Windows 10 so I'm reluctant to think it's that. My laptop is still under warranty but do not want to send in if he didn't need that I need for work.

    I found some information online saying that a restore Image will not work, but I have an and you can try it if need be.

    Other information found online says that my computer basically "forgot" that I have a main display to get out information in and make the screen and that's why my second screen works perfectly and me might be able to solve this problem with the start of the saving mode and try to fix it from there again I've never done this and don't want to cause more problems doing things like that.

    What could be the best way to go forward with this problem is to say. :

    * Is there a way to check the LCD cables without disassembling the computer. (Don't want to do that, and don't think it's the fault)

    * System Restore will help

    * Where / who should I contact for help in this regard

    Thanks for any help provided and please tell me if you need any other info to help. I really want to to fix the problem rather than take it to a guy or HP

    It's a bad screen. The upgrade of Windows 10 timing is a coincidence. You can continue to use it as a desktop computer with an external monitor forever.

  • Satellite C855 - white screen after BIOS update

    Hello

    I am a beginner user,
    I have Satellite C855
    Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update BIOS"that was sent to my computer.
    Since that my screen is blank, there is a hum in the background.

    I have a recovery back up on my external hard drive, but of course, the screen is blank so I don't know how the product.

    I think I must have downloaded a model or the update was not compatible.

    Hello

    White screen do you mean that nothing appears on the screen?
    You see the start screen of Toshiba, or if you are able to access the BIOS?

    Where this is not possible, try this:
    Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
    Then connect the two parts (batteries and AC adapter) for the laptop and try to turn on the unit.

    In case this would not solve the problem of the laptop, I'm scared of m the BIOS update was not completed successfully and I think that only authorized Toshiba service provider would be able to help you.

  • White screen after the upgrade, thoughts?

    Hello

    I have a mid-2011, 21.5 "iMac. When I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan, I got the white screen of death on restart. I saved time machine, reinstalled, and everything was fine. When I did the update niveau.1, the same has happened (white screen, then backup, and then reinstall) and now, last night, after le.2 upgraded the same story happened.

    When I run on the armored white mac disk utility, it shows all the hard drive as being full of the 'other', which is certainly not, but the drive is labeled as OK.

    Before I try reinstall, I want to know: what am I doing wrong? I'm upgrading via the App Store, I don't have a hackintosh, no illegal absurdity, etc.. But this problem is boring and repetitive, so I figure there must be something I do. Any thoughts?

    I got a grey screen for a few minutes, I came back a little later and I was looking at a login screen.

    The whole process has been about half an hour.

  • White screen after the Fail Safe Mode - XP, graphics, nVidia, graphics card

    Recently, my office computer Gateway running Windows XP was invited to update the nVidia GEForce 6100 driver.

    I went to update this driver.

    On the next boot, I waited several minutes, but the computer hung up on a screen empty AFTER the Windows screen.

    I tried to restart the computer normally several times, but still and always the white screen appeared after installing windows.

    I have my computer in Mode safe start, which I did. In safe mode, I disabled the graphics driver nVidia and restarted my computer. To restart the computer, it has actually reached to explore. However, in all the windows, I opened the image lag. Instead of a fluid scrolling, everything has been hectic.

    I have to enter the BIOS setup and clicked to start my computer in mode 'fail safe '. Afterwards, when I press the power button on my computer the blue light turns on, fan is running, and a single beep of the singular but NO picture on my monitor.

    I tried my monitor on another computer and it worked fine. I plugged the monitor into the gateway PC and yet, I get a black screen as if the Office Tower does not recognize the monitor.

    I thank you very much for any solutions or advice, you should be able to provide!

    All the best,

    -Evan

    Hello

    Please restart in safe mode, and then do the following

    Start - right click my computer - manage - Device Manager - adapt display - nVidia...

    Right click - Properties - driver tab - back driver.

    This should bring back your previous working driver.

    Please keep in mind that my answer is based on the information in your message. More the better I can answer, Slan go foill, Paul

  • Monitor turns to white screen after the screen saver

    Actual title: white screen

    Yesterday, I started to have a white screen on my computer screen shortly after the appearance of the screen saver. Monitor still works but this means it will come out? Screen stay white throughout the night.

    Hello

    (1) do you have made no changes before this problem?

    (2) do you use pictures as a screen saver?
     
    See the below link that supports you in updating the graphics driver and check if the problem persists.
     
    Method 2: Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
     
    Method 3: You can also try using a different screen saver and check if that helps.
     
    Hope this information helps.
  • white screen after that vista went on mode 'sleep'

    Hello

    My laptop started to have problems after going sleep mode hibernation recently. I run a Dell Vostro under Vista 32 bit. My big problem is that I can't test one of the solutions I found on the internet so far because even with a forced shutdown the laptop never start back. White screen. Nothing is ever displayed.
    Last time I went out that holding the key FN holding power. Then released. The screen came blue and memory tests and drive hard started. I let it run and no problem was found on the hardware side. After the tests were performed, the computer restarts and I press F8 to boot into safe mode. Everything went well for a week after this episode. I tried the "sleep mode" once again and it was as if nothing ever happens. Everything worked well.
    And now, it's happening once again. This time, the combination FN-power supply does not work. Nothing appears on the screen ever. The power button not blink or change color. The hard drive light turns on for 3 seconds only when I try to start. Then it's screen white and everything that I hear the laptop fan...
    Any idea of someone from the combination of keys to force start the laptop into a kind of safe mode?
    Thank you very much!!!

    So it seems that I have to respond to me :) Just in case someone goes nuts facing the same issue, find multiple options on the web 2007 update you this, change the configuration that say, start in SafeMode etc., here is what I found to get out of the black screen after a watch on my laptop. I hope this might help someone else:

    1. Open the housing by unscrewing all to access the battery (not easy, go slowly and carefully do not damage the fragile covers). I hope that your battery is more accessible than mine.
    2. Disconnect the battery cable (if you have my laptop Dell Vostro: first - raise the head end of the connector so you can exit the orange cable gently)
    3. At this point, the rear of the laptop is completely "naked".
    4. Unplug the power cable
    5. Press and hold the power button to laptop for 30 sec.
    6. Plug the power cable back (battery is always not connected)
    7. Press the FN key + power button for 1 second and release them both at the same time
    8. The DELL logo is displayed, and finally the screen is not black more! I need the pre-boot system assessment tests. I hope that you will have this screen also. I suggest that you run the tests. In my case, nothing was wrong with the hardware. This is a Windows problem.

    After this step, I was able to start in safe mode and play with the features of windows. Since I'm a busy mom and small business owner, I don't have time to assess what is wrong or even think to completely replace Windows on an old computer laptop 1 year part-time, so far. So I just canceled the sleep function for now.

    Good luck.
     
  • White screen after login (Vista)

    After updating my computer this morning, the screen now becomes white after I connect. I looked around for finding bugs, but so far I can't make anything of them because my screen does not return to normal. I tried to put it to sleep, hit escape and using the Windows key on my keyboard but I get no response from either of them. CTRL + Alt + Delete displays the usual screen, but none of the available options help to solve the problem.

    Translates into a safe mode black screen after log in and the same problems.

    I would try to do a system restore, but I don't have a disk for Vista.

    Hello

    A white screen may have the same root cause as a blackscreen and be too difficult to treat. Try
    This generic troubleshooting remember black and white the same fix would work. See following message
    If you can't at least win a minimum level of access work.

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.
