Win 7 will not display sign in screen

HP touchsmart 7320 yesterday was fine, today it crashes just before the signature area (the sign in never loads) I tried to restart with the power button / stop.  Tried safe mode and last know boot, but the results are the same.  The system hangs at the screen of Windows 7 Professional less a connection box.  I suspect that an update from one day to the next is the culprit.  First time I noticed I left alone for 10 minutes about while I got a cup of coffee.

Hi Mike,.

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to consult the below thread and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

Screen flickering and problems log on Windows 7 after installation of updates

If the problem persists, I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

Method 1: When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

Method 2: If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
  3. Click repair your computer.
  4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
  6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

See the following link for more information:

How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

Method 3: If after performing the above steps, you are able to start the computer and access the desktop then try to Uninstall KB3097877 update if it is installed, and then reinstall it.

Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Firefox will not display on the screen even though with Process Explorer, I see active Firefox.exe but no CPU usage

    I use Firefox as default browser v10.0.2 on Dell XPS8300 Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 IO IO Intel Core i3 and Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (approximately 90% of attempts) that Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display on the screen when I click the icon. Cannot display other programs when it happens. I expressly say display because I believe that Firefox has started. To work around the problem, I installed Process Explorer on both machines and launch this program first, then click on the Firefox icon. When the problem occurs I see process Firefox.exe in the list of processes; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on the Firefox icon, yet another process opens in the list of processes, but with the same answer - some consumed CPU and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the process from the 1st, the 2nd poster and then everything is normal. If I do not open it treat a 2nd, but kill the 1st process then click the Firefox Firefox is displayed and all then is normal. This problem has occurred since the original on the two new machines installation. I have updated the video drivers on both computers.

    OK, let's see if we can solve this problem and make it work for you!

    First of all, if you start Firefox in safe mode (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key) it starts more reliable? This is usually caused by a defective module. If this does not help, then restart Firefox, go to the Firefox, then add-ons button and disable your extensions one by one until you find the troublemaker.

    Also, try to update to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.

  • Dell S2440L will not display size full screen using my HDMI input

    I have a laptop connected via VGA to this monitor and it takes size to display full-screen (ie. the image goes all the way at the edge of the screen).  My desktop PC is connected to the same monitor via a HDMI Monster of good quality cable and my resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 and again the display was about a black 1 inch around edge (ie. the picture is NOT all the way on the screen - there is about an inch all around here it's dark).  When I go to OSD, the Auto setting is gray.  The menu OSD tells me that I'm using "resolution: 1080 p".  I tried to reset the settings of the monitor, but that did not help.

    Because the screen is narrowed down, I don't actually use a native resolution and text rendering is horrible.  In some cases, it is so bad, it is difficult to read some screens.  I need to know how to solve this problem, otherwise the monitor will be back in the store.

    Thank you
    Ray

    I think that there is a problem with my graphics card.  I connected another computer to this monitor via HDMI and the monitor worked fine.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X will not DISPLAY

    If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • I have two monitors and Firefox will not come on the screen.

    When I try to open Firefox it will not load on each screen. Looks like he's trying to go to the secondary screen, but is not visible. The OS is Windows 7 Home first Service Pack 1. Firefox version 37.0.1
    Thanks for your help.

    You get a sticker or other indication on the Windows task bar that there is a window of Firefox "somewhere", but it is not visible anywhere?

    If there is a tile (or a title of the window above the Firefox button in the task bar):

    The Firefox window sometimes opens off screen. If you have a multiple monitor configuration, make sure that both monitors are on. Other users have reported that sometimes Firefox acts strangely while the second monitor is turned off. You mentioned that both monitors are on in your case.

    In all other cases: you can often force the Firefox window is displayed on the screen by double clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    The error message is not known to me and also looking in google didn t get advice.
    Maybe your Windows operating system is confusing upward.

    Have you tried to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
    Try this. Restart your laptop, press the F8 key.
    In advanced startup options, select the option called Mode without failure.

    If the laptop does not start Safe Mode, try the last good known Configuration option.

    If this n t help, try to fix my computer. Here, you can choose between different settings.
    Who could solve that problem is HARD drive recovery that helps you define the notebook to factory settings. But it also means that your disk should be formatted!

    So be aware of this!

When I connect it to my PC of countertop, it is not displayed on the PC screen. I have already installed the software, I received with the device of the company. For a few months, he was allowed and eventually I had my PC formatted by a technician and then, he stopped the display.

Can someone give me the reason why the camera is not displayed on the screen of the PC?

    Hello Manu,

    1. have you checked if the camera software is present on the PC?
