• Error 17-Windows will not load past the splash screen, and system repair has no effect...

  Hi all, my problem is the following. Off my laptop the night before, an upgrade has been installed as usual. However, when I tried to start my computer the next day, I was meeting with a choice of operating systems, one was vista and one was something called "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET).» Of course I wanted to choose vista, but when selected has been sent to a screen that read (sorry for the amount of the entry).

  Start "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET)".

  (hd, 1)

  Specifien type is ntfs, partition type 0 x 7

  /openSUSe/ kernel linux devfs = mount, dall ramdisk_size = 65536 = ftp install: //ftp4.g wdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ server = ftp4.gwdg.de lang = en splash silent vga = 0x31A

  Error 17: File not found

  I don't know much about this sort of thing, so he thought better to include everything I could. At first, I tried to reload Vista, but it just opened the same screen, so found the vista disc that came with the laptop and it is stuck in. I ran sytem repair and system restore and both have had no effect.

  I'd appreciate any help is sorting this point, but if I have to reinstall vista (what I hear the hard disk wipes), is it possible to backup all my files to be reintergrated later.

  Thanks for any help!

• Windows Vista - stuck at the "Welcome" screen after the recent crash

  OK, so my computer crashed (Dell) a few days ago, and I had to reset everything back to the card factory, which has deleted all files but those who were on the computer, as it was shipped.  Now, 2 days after the accident (my second my computer boot time) my computer will not cross the "Welcome" screen, or the splash screen.  I'm in safe mode now, incidentally.

  Help, please!

• Windows Vista hangs at the Welcome screen. Can anyone help?

  From early December 2009, my Dell Inspiron E1505 said hung up on the 'Welcome' screen, leaving me stuck and cannot use the computer. It would do this every time I tried to start it. Since that time I switch Safe Mode and using the restore system to get it going again. Sometimes, I have to use restore the system several times to allow to start correctly. More recently, I learned that when it hangs at the Welcome screen, I can press "Ctrl-alt-del" and then my computer will load up the icons after about 10 seconds and then it is ready to go.

  I finally started to 'Sleep' mode, and then it starts right up when I want to use it. The problem is that he sometimes stops for updates, or crash if I overload it somehow, and then it's a big problem, it'll still do. ... Well, now I can turn it on by pressing the "Ctrl-alt-del' when it clings to the host, but I don't feel comfortable making. I'm afraid that it will eventually mess worse.

  I have not installed any new software or downloaded anything by email, with the exception, so I don't know what caused this problem. I have the feeling that something has been altered during the automatic update of windows.

  Can someone please help me understand what caused this problem and what to do to fix? I need a walkthrough very detailed, as I am not a computer technician. My experience with computers is very limited, but I do not know a few basics such as obtaining safe mode, etc. My warranty with Dell has long expired. My computer is 3 years old. With the exception of this problem Windows Vista worked great shape. I liked Windows XP much better, but Vista was 'correct' that day until this problem came.

  Thank you: Jean

• When I connect to Windows 7 after that my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will have 10 minutes to go beyond.

  When I connect to Windows 7 after my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will block for always (10 + minutes). It does not every time, but maybe once all 5 or 6 times and it's happened lately. I can just shut the computer off and the newspaper with no problem after starting it upward, but I'm afraid, there may come a time where it does not work.

  I had this problem since I got my computer 2 months ago so I don't think it's related to what I have installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem and has found a way to fix it? Is this a common bug in all of Windows 7?

  Safe mode - repeatedly, press F8 as you bootup. Another method is to start - type in
  Search-> find MSCONFIG in top box - just right-click on it - RUN AS Admin Startup tab
  -check the Safe Boot (network) APPLY / OK. Don't forget to change it if necessary.

  Try a system restore before what happened: (you can run system restore
  in the Windows as well however it sometimes works better in safe mode-

• Windows 8 does not not to the Welcome screen and the start option advanced

  I met a very strange situation.

  1. I first put my system into hibernation and walked away for a while. Then when I tried to turn on the system, it freezes at the Welcome screen. I tried the strok key (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) but nothing happened. I noticed that the ' FN ' on my laptop works very well! I could turn on and turn off the Wifi with them. But the system has not responded to all other keys and my touch pad.

  2. I tried waiting for the system to respond for a long time. When I noticed that the little light on my laptop showing the status of the HDD stopped flashing, I thought that the system could already went wrong so I hard reboot the system.

  3 then, strange thing that happened:

  (1) first is the logo of my BIOS flashed on the screen and disappeared, which has never happened before.

  (2) then the system told me that he prepares the update. But I remember turning off the automatic update and I had not installed update before the system went wrong. Although I remembered that there is a warning to the login screen that there is some new important updates and I should install them.

  (3) the system is restarted automatically when the increase is 30%. After this reboot, the system maintains hang at as before welcome screen.

  4. I've tried several things and hard reset for many times but nothing has changed.

  (1) I tried to disable the quick start to the BIOS.

  (2) I've tried allowing CSM (disable UEFI in legacy mode)

  (3) I tried to press F9 to start and got into the advanced boot options screen. However, all there hang two! My keyboard and mouse are both inadmissible.

  (4) disconnect all connected to my laptop.

  Then I'm lost. I can't repair or restore my system. I think that my keyboard works fine because I can change the BIOS setting to use. Now, I'm at my wits end with. Can anyone suggest anything?

  Update:

  Turned history that I tried to plug my USB mouse to the laptop. It worked, and when I connect my USB keyboard that works too! But minutes after I logged on successfully to Windows, I got the WORKER_INVALID and restart the system.

  I found this post which has almost exactly the same problem with me (I use an ASUS laptop too!). So I uninstalled my driver warned of the gesture, and then the system has not crashed over.

  But my problem has not been resolved. I downloaded and installed the latest driver of ASUS and always found my touch pad and the keyboard does not. I also realize that even in a different operating system on my system (LinuxMint), my touchpad and keyboard will not work.

  To summarize:

  Now I can use an external device (USB keyboard and mouse). But the built in keyboard and touch pad does not work. The latest driver for ASUS (ASUS Smart gesture) and ASUS ATK Package driver does not work. Strange thing is that when I open the computer, can I use my keyboard and even type in the Linux grub shell. But once the system got loaded, both in Windows and LinuxMint, the keyboard and the touchpad don't work.

  Now, I suspect my BIOS went wrong, but I do not know and do not dare update the BIOS so recklessly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Thank you for the update on the question and good to hear that your problem is solved and everything works well after the replacement of the motherboard from ASUS. This information will help other members of the community to the same question.

• I have to wait about 5 minutes between loading time and the Welcome screen

  Need me quite a long time to wait I'm not why. It worked normally until I installed a new type of explore (7.0) from the Internet, after that I restarted my computer, I have to wait about 5 minutes to see the Welcome screen. Can someone help me, thanks

  Hello

  It is not easy to say why this happen here. I recommend you to visit the FAQ section of the official website of Microsoft. Maybe you will find something interesting.

  I heard that IE 7.0 has own firewall and it is possible that there are some conflicts with the firewall of Windows XP Home edition. Check it out and try to disable the firewall of Windows XP Home edition to see if the operating system boots faster.
