  All of a sudden, one of our computers on our network starts. He remains stuck at the application of the computer settings.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get around this problem?

• Vista installation hangs on the end of the installation during clean installation

  Hello, I'm having a problem installing a clean installation of Windows Vista Home Basic on Acer laptop from my friend.

  For starters, my friend got a red anti virus that has destroyed more or less its windows.  After doing a restore of the system for the first available date, the virus had disappeared, but Windows kept asking me how to open simple things like Internet Explorer and various other programs, which means that the OS is unusable.  My friend gave me permission to format the drive and I reinstalled Vista with a DVD of my I had to leave one of my PC, but I used the CD key on the laptop.  The installation went well, I went on my desktop PC and downloaded all the drivers for his laptop (Aspire 5516), and then installed a sound card driver and an update of the BIOs.  After updating the BIOs, the laptop starts again.  I tried to do a system restore but it had no restore points, then because I just started, I thought a quick format wouldn't hurt.
  This is where things went wrong.  I tried to reinstall Vista again, but it keeps hanging on the part "complete installation."  I tried three times so far and it always crashes at the same exact part, and now I have no idea what to do.
  Any suggestion or help would be appreciated, thanks.

  The copy of Vista, I use came from my college that I got for free to be in a computer SCIENCE major.  This isn't a particular manufacturer.

  EDIT: I apologize for not to say that from the beginning.  It is never used because I already had 7 at this time.
  In any case, I changed my BIOs native IDE or something of the sort, and I have Vista start.  I'm in shock, but I guess that when I flashed the BIOs, it's turned back on it to the wrong setting or something.  That's all I can think about.

• Windows XP installation hangs when the BIOS is set to AHCI

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. It has a motherboard Asus P8Z77 - V LX with the AHCI BIOS.

  Now, I would like to install Windows XP to a dual boot set up so that my son can continue to play some of their old games XP.

  When I tried to install XP, I got the BSOD during the first phase of the installation process.

  Internet research, I discovered that Windows needs a controller AHCI driver and that I could use F6 to install the appropriate driver to a diskette during installation or wake the driver in a Windows installation CD using a program called nLite. I chose the latter because there are no floppy drive on the computer. I chose the version XP 32 bit Intel (R) series 7/216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller to wake.

  I used my newly created installation disk and the initial phase of installation is fine, but after the first reboot, just like the Windows XP GUI interface appeared, the system crashed, rebooted and crashed again.

  The only way I could get XP install was to change the BIOS to IDE, then it installed fine. But Windows 7 does not load unless I have change the AHCI BIOS so that's what I've done so far.

  Suggestions as to how I can either get XP to install in AHCI mode or change it to AHCI mode, once it has been installed in IDE mode?

  OK, my apologies, it seems I have didn't read entirely your answer. I have BSOD stop 7B have treated several times and has been guilty of inaccurate "quick read".

  However, I gave you a possibility through response to your last paragraph...

  install the drivers for XP AHCI as it is started in IDE mode, and then change the AHCI BIOS

  .. have you tried this? What were the results?

  After thinking a bit about this possibility, it may be a good idea to restart in IDE mode after installing the AHCI driver before then stopping and switching to AHCI mode.

  As far as I know there are only two possibilities for the installation of the AHCI driver when installing XP. You dismissed one of them (Setup F6 disk) and you say that the other does not have a bootable system. Maybe you could try to "slipstreaming" once again, in which case the process did not work properly. Where did you get the drivers from making the wake? Was it the same place as the link I posted above? Absence of "slipstreaming" or the purchase of a (cheap) floppy drive, my only suggestion is that I repeated above.

  Finally, can you confirm that it is stop 7B that you get? If not what stop do you receive?

• Windows 7 installation hangs on the compatibility check

  I am trying to install Win7 (Home premium) update my Vista, but every time the installation starts a compatibility check and goes no further. I let go more than an hour with no progress.  I have run the Upgrade Advisor and it's compatible. So, how do the installation to ignore or perform this check?

  Troubleshooting tips to solve common problems when Windows 7 won't install - try everything you did not yet.
   
  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known issues that might affect the installation and correct them.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
   
  2 disable any security software: anti-virus, firewall etc. Don't forget to activate the Afterwords.
  3 make sure that your computer has the BIOS and latest drivers. Update of the BIOS can be risky, don't do that if nothing else works.
  4. disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse before installing.
  5. If using a video card and the computer has integrated video use and remove the video card.
  6 unplug the computer from the internet, if you have wireless disable.
  7. RAM (memory) - reduce the amount of RAM. 1 GB if 32-bit installation, 2 GB for 64-bit, then replace RAM if the upgrade was successful. If you added new RAM make sure it is also compatible.
  8. If you have several hard drives remove all except the one that you install Windows 7, and then replace it after Windows 7 is installed.
  9. If you have downloaded Windows 7 and it burned a DVD test burn again at the slowest speed possible. It is also possible the download may have errors, you can try to download it again.
  10. If you click 'Upgrade' to start the installation make sure that you take a supported upgrade path. You can't make a room upgrade: A) XP to Windows 7, B) changing bit type ex: 32 to 64-bit C) change the languages, D) decommissioning editions ex: Vista of the month last 7 Pro, or E) Vista Home Pro 7.
   
  11. check your RAM (memory) to find errors. Can take a long time, don't make that if nothing else has worked.
  (A) Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.
  (B) start from the Windows 7 DVD.
  (C) select your language, and then click Next.
  (D) click on "repair your computer" then select the operating system to fix it.
  (E) click on the link of the Memory Diagnostics in the system recovery menu.
  (F) the computer will restart and your memory is checked for errors.
   
  12 turn off startup programs:
  (A) click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
  OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
  If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
  (B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.
  (C) just below the selective startup, clear the checkbox "Load Startup items".
  (D) click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", and then click Disable all.
  (E) click OK, and then restart the computer.
  (F) try the upgrade again.
   
  (NOTE: If the upgrade fails and you continue to use your rear security software, then also go back into MSCONFIG and under the general Tower XP/Vista tab, click "Normal startup", and then click OK to exit.)

• Windows 7 hangs at the installation screen now

  try to install windows 7 download, gets to the install now screen, but won't go any further. Have tried all disconnection of machine, check disk etc. Nothing seems to change cannot pass through this point.

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to how to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware on the Microsoft Web site.

  Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

  This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

  Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

• Install Windows recovery disk 8 in virtualbox hangs on the splash screen

  Hello Lenovo community,

  When I try to install the copy of Windows 8 I got with my Lenovo S440 in a virtual machine environment

  the installation hangs on windows startup screen. I've never seen a Windows 8 installation

  procedure before, so I booted my laptop from the installation media to check if it is corrupted.

  It works very well. A loading circle dot is displayed the logo after a few seconds and that after quiet

  some time the wizard of lenovo is shown... so there must be a problem with the virtual machine.

  I have attached a screenshot to show you where it crashes.

  It would be great help ! Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I think that reinstall drive wouldn't work on a virtualized machine, only directly on the Lenovo hardware, in order to prevent the copy of Windows, more whatever additional licensed software is on the media, to be pirated.

  My best advice would be to insert a blank HARD drive in Lenovo ThinkPad S440, use the recovery media, produce an installation complete on the HARD drive and then run a program to convert the HARD physical disk to a virtual machine, as Microsoft Sysinternals Disk2VHD.

  Kind regards

• Windows XP Setup hangs at «Setup starts Windows...» "after all the required drivers on the CD loading.

  My Pentium III 1.0 GHz computer (394 MB of RAM, disk hard 500 GB) crapped out on me after that I loaded soft PicturePerfect of Nikon.  For some reason, the Nikon software ruined my registry.  Now, whenever I turn on my PC, I get the BSOD with error "Unpaginated IPF in space".   I can't start my computer in safe mode or "start Windows normally" as I get the same error msg almost immediately without seeing the Windows logo and progress bar.  I can start my PC using the "last good known Configuration" and he will be starting the Microsoft Windows logo with the progress small downstairs bar, so I know that the hard drive is fine.  Then the screen goes black while WinXP is loading from the hard drive, and then the BSOD with error page comes up.  I suspect that there is incorrect data in a critical area of the drive where Windows requires data start correctly.   In the meantime, I can't boot into Windows at all because all Windows options lead to BSOD with the msg of error page.

  I resigned myself to reloading Windows XP from scratch, but I can't seem to get my original installation CD to not work.  I've reconfigured my BIOS to Boot CD, and then start the original Windows XP CD.  He reads and load it all very well, and then it hangs at «Setup starts Windows...» "I thought he had to test the equipment, but it remained in this State for 3 hours!  The "Welcome to Windows Setup" screen never came.

  I thought to use FDISK to the new drive of 500 GB and formatting on the errors on the hard drive, but I can't do since I can't complete the installation process.  I feel stuck in a bad situation where I can't enter BACK to FDISK and FORMAT my C: drive.

  Pls help!

  Thank you!

  Here's what I did and learned:

  1. I replaced my DVD burner with my CD - R original delivered with the machine and disconnected the 2nd CD - R.

  2. I disconnected my 2nd hard drive, in part to minimize the current of the power supply, but also to keep clean and simple start between a (hard) C: and D: (CD - R) drives.

  3. I re-tested my SDRAM using test mode full and deep.  To my surprise, I found not 1 but 2 SDRAM bad!  I replaced the original SDRAM 128 MB and re-directed tests of memory with the Diagnostocs memory of Windows and Memtest86 +.  All the 512 MB of RAM is perfect now.

  4. I started to new WinXP and have the msg «Setup starts Windows...» ».  This time, I waited for about 15 minutes and to my surprise the configuration screen came!  There is a long period of time between the msg «Setup starts Windows...» "at the start, and when the configuration menu actually comes to the screen.  I was able to partition and format my hard drive.

  Lessons learned:
  -Maintain the number of devices to a minimum so that it keeps unknown hardware failures to confuse the troubleshooting questions.
  -Test the RAM in deep test mode is important and test several times.
  -It could be more than 1 Bank of RAM can be bad so carefully test RAM.
  -Wait for the next Windows installation menu.  It is not instantaneous, but it will come sooner or later.

  Thank you!!!

• Blue screen Windows Setup hanging from the message "Setup starts Windows.

  I have a M2n SLI chipset and my computer came stock with vista 64-bit, after losing all the functions of the operating system because of a problem of .net I have tried to restore without result.  I got down to the wire with whiping the drive and now I am trying install Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1 (old drive, still trying to see if an operating system takes in general).  The BIOS Setup to boot from the disk, I get the blue screen of installation of Windows to pop - up and start installing its drivers.  However once he reaches the message 'Setup starts Windows', the screen freezes it for as long as I'm ready to watch it (left for a long period of time and no difference).

  Other cases that I also noticed when I restart my computer it will not even reach the configuration screen rather right at the point where you could normally see "Press any key to boot from CD" I received a message 'FreeDOS' and it hangs there.

  I'm not experienced with computers at all I'm just regurgitating given to me by my roommate who happens to know more information. I hope this isn't a hardware problem as I firmly doubt replacements will be economically feasible for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Windows XP hangs at the splash screen (logo). Dim screen when hooked.

  I do have problems starting XP 2 on two different hard drives.  I'm more concerned at this time is described in the title.  I bought a new hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320) to back up the data on my old hard drive, due to the other XP startup problem and installed Windows XP Home edition, as well as my motherboard drivers, etc..  It starts very well, at first, but then started a curtain to the start screen (and the splash screen is very low in this case).  I tried to remove some additional applications provided with the motherboard, no luck.  I tried to reinstall XP several times, and who has not helped.  I tried to update my video driver, running chkdsk, running Windows Memory Diagnostic (which does no problem), cleaning the registry with Advanced System Care Pro, unplug all USB devices and network cable, etc.  He continues to hang at the splash screen (weakly).  When I try to start in safe mode, it hangs at "mup.sys.  So far, I'm able to get XP to start by repeated restart later...  I searched the web to find a solution for this and have found no definitive answer.  I just ordered another new hard drive and Windows 7.  I intend to dual boot with windows 7 the new HD and XP on the current disc (assuming that this problem can be solved!).

  My other problem is on my old sister Hitachi 160 GB IDE hard drive.  A few months, our PC stop working.  After buying a new power supply (Corsair TX650w) and determine that he was not a power supply problem, I bought a new motherboard (GA-MA785GT-UD3H), (AMD Phenom II X 2 555 3.2 Ghz) CPU, RAM (CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333), and some new fans (old system died due to heat issues).  Once I had it put in place and I tried to boot XP from my old drive, he just went in a "boot loop".  He gets to the XP splash screen, goes black and restarts, again and again.  I tried setting the installation of XP with XP CD 3 or 4 times, without success.  This question is not as big of a deal to me now, because I now have the new hard drive with the new number to start XP (intermittent).  My main goal with the old hard drive was to save all my data.  That is, life turns on if I can't start XP on this drive (the one with the boot loop).

  Thank you for your time!

  The BIOS update has * seems * solved the problem!  I rebooted it 4 or 5 times, but also completely off the PC and it starts today.  Did not repeat the problem so far!
