Still on the screen "installation 5 of 5 updates.

Help!

I suggest you turn off the system, reboot and start mode without failure and do a system restore before you encounter the problem.

just before that the system loads the Windows operating system; Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. Select Safe Mode.

  • window appears on the extended screen, but the screen isn't there anymore so can't get to the window (2nd screen on laptop is only when it is connected to the desktop)

    Hi... interesting problem. I use my laptop computer on a desk with a second screen and moving.

    The last time I was using my laptop on the desk, I brought an application (Quicken) on the second screen and now when I start it up it displays on-screen extended even if I use the standalone laptop. I can't demand because it appears in the second screen and I can't get it back to the main screen. I even rebooted and it seems to 'remember' where is was the last time.

    Any thoughts on how to get it back (I know I can reconnect the second screen and move it back, but what about the time when I'm not near my office and want to access an application that was last used on the extended screen.)

    Argh...

    Thanks for your thoughts, I assume that there is a simple key sequence to make it visible on the main screen once I can't find it anywhere.

    Kind regards

    Very late reply, I have the same problem and I solve it hovering over the window you want in the taskbar when the preview window displays a right-click on it.  Select optimize.  The window will appear on your screen.  No, you can enter the window and its size down, it stays on the current view

  • 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.

  • twinkling of intermittent screen on laptop: using windows vista

    Hello
    I use Windows Vista on my laptop about 2 years back (HP dv5 series)
    All of a sudden a week, the screen started to Flash intermittently... it almost goes running with all the white lines, for a second or two... and then stops himself. Sometimes it happens very frequently, like three times in an hour, and sometimes not even once in 3 hours.  Windows Update is on and all the drivers to date by themselves.
    I tried restoring the system to a date before I started having the problem on my laptop. It worked fine for a day, and then the problem started again.
    Can someone please suggest what to do? In addition, this flicker of the screen would lead any type of damage to the screen if not checked soon? My laptop is out of warranty and I'm not sure what to do.
    Thank you

  • Installation of OEL with windows 7 OS on laptop

    None of your current installation is put to. just install VMWare Server (it's free) as any other software, and then starting in VMWare, create a virtual machine (this is on top of your current OS) install OEL.
    You will find many tutorials all over the web, I wrote an article some time ago (it was OEL4.6 - but the principle is the same with the superior version of OEL):

  • Black screen, with toolbar frozen and no icons

    original title: black screen, with toolbar frozen and no icons! :(

    Hello

    my laptop (vista) recently has devloped a problem in which the Bureau during its connection, is black with no icons and a toolbar frozen. This PC can hang and will only work in safe mode. However, in safe mode, it is very slow, and yet I can not delete all the files, but I managed to save my personal files.

    There is no current system restores for me to do, and I did the test of material, without known defects.

    I also noticed when his connection, because I did not need to press on enter to type my password, the box is already open :/

    Thanks in advance, I hope someone will have the answer to my problem :)

    Sam my setup is:

    Medion M96350, Intel Core 2 Duo, T520 @1.5 - Ghz, Vista Home Premium

    This also happens if you did a recent update of windows that has corrupted or have recently installed the new drivers on something that is causing a conflict.

    I don't really know a final solution but her below can make the black screen disappear temporarily:

    1-ctrl-alt-del to get to Task Manager
    2. go to the "Applications" tab
    3. a 'new task... ". »
    4 type "explorer.exe".

    If the above get rid of the black screen, it is always likely that she will return when you then start the PC, but at least it can allow you to cancel any installation driver/updates to see if that solve the problem.

    So when I closed the lid on my laptop for a while and then reopen the lid, the screen remains white (black). The only way I found to get back on the screen is to re-boot.
    In power management, I put 'Status quo' for when I close the lid on my computer and power management is ' Always on '.

    I have the latest Bios and updates to the system.

    Hi ib1.

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or is it your own installation?

    What to update the display driver? Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new display driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Don t forget to look in the * archives * on Toshiba page because this model is a little older, so all of the downloads are moved in archive.

Also tried everything on the menu after pressing f10 and f8, including safe mode, but all the options keep freezng at windows startup or stops at a black screen and only being able to move the mouse.

    It's time to find your set of recovery disks or usb recovery media that you created when you set up your laptop.

    If you have not created a set, you have the choice of where to get a set of recovery disks. The cost is usually about $30,00 USD

    Order a HP recovery disk
    from an HP partner

    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.

  • HP Simplepass is no longer works to 8.1 windows login screen

    Hello

    Few days back I pruched this Mallet and portable great called HP envy 15 model J122TX. Evrything works perfectly until I had recived this horrible update from MIcrosoft. My laptop has pre installed windows 8.1 and a few days later, I got a lot of updates of microsoft recived. After installation of updates HP Simple pass is no longer present on the windows logon screen.

    This version of windows has something called sing fingerprints optional. I got configered successfully, she and I had also set up the HP simple pass. but unfortunately I cound not connect to windows using the fingerprint reader. scanner Finder blinks white light at the opening of the session, but when I swap my finger on it nothing happens. (but before the update it worked)

    any help please

  • Windows 7 screen/internet page frequent lock-up/seizure.

    I got this new laptop Parkard Bell Easy Note about 2 weeks ago and the running version of Windows 7 Home Premium. After I donwloaded some critical updates from Microsoft, my computer has experienced frequent "screen" or "Internet browser" ' Frost/blocking' The mouse does not work and none of the keys worked Windows. I need to turn off the PC and the re - start each time.
    There is also a lot to come back to draw the problem to restore and restore points does not work anyway because of some antivirus checker or setting preventing fill.

    What can I do to stop this common screen lock-up/frozen, please any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Ideas:

    • inside of Internet Explorer (66 bit) program, you have problems with
    • No error message
    • Recent changes made to your computer - after about 8 updates form Microsoft
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem - change the mouse setting, tried the troubleshooting...

    Yes, there is a free 90 day trial, Norton installed in the laptop when I got it in mid-November. I removed a few days ago and got a version of track free 30 days 2010.

    Norton applications are notorious for not properly uninstall. You should have downloaded / run the Norton removal tool before installing Norton (360? AntiVirus?) free 30 day trial of 2010.

    Therefore, I suspect that some 2010 Norton free trial of 30 days was NOT correctly and therefore, does not protect your brand new computer. This puts you between a rock and a hard place: If you had bought some Norton 2010, Norton/Symantec probably for free would support, but since this is a free trial version, you are on your own.*

    If you're really lucky, the following may solve your problem. Otherwise, you're looking at a format & clean install of Windows.

    1. uninstall Norton some 2010, LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton.

    2. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled!

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step _ below!

    3. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    4. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    5. right click on the file that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. download/install another antivirus of your choice. (You will NOT be able to install another free trial Norton!) I can recommend NOD32, Kaspersky, Avira AntiVir, Avast and Microsoft Security Essentials (the last three are free).

    7. manually & repeatedly update your new antivirus application until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 restart in Safe Mode and run a full scan of the system with your new antivirus application, then restart in normal mode (Windows) and keep fingers crossed.
