  I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to connect, it tells me that I need to activate windows so I click on activate the itr tells me that windows is already activated, then takes me in the newspaper and did the same thing

  To delete the message you are already enabled, you can force the activation on reboot. If the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak are damaged, they can cause a problem.
  Restart in 'Safe Mode '.
  Rename wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the the\Windows\system32 folder
  Now, the message must be deleted, and you can now re-enable. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

• After that windows update computer now hangs at the login screen, no error message, just restarts.

  I have tried safe mode, does the same thing; tried to use the Windows Vista disc to do a repair, no luck; also I tried restoring the system (from disk), no restore points however.
  The problem appeared after restarting the computer during the night.  The problem began to be able to connect, but the screen would go blank with just a pointer (KSOD).  Has tried some of the suggestions on this problem, including by eliminating sys newspapers, which did not work as well as reinstalling the video driver, with no luck.  Finally tried a system restore, returned 1 week (before the windows updates).  Now, the computer becomes just the login screen sits there for about 5-10 seconds then restarts immediately.

  I just had this happen to my laptop that has no external references. This is a new (September 09) ASUS K50ij with Vista 64-bit installed. I bought the Win 7 OS to replace, but have been waiting for the time to play with it... Last Monday, the update itself and invited to restart so I have done what I was busy with and enabled him to restart which is the only thing to do now... restart, the blue screen for a nano-second, then restart... etc. Same problem with safe mode and safe mode with networking, or with the box... anyway, someone very smart recommended that I use another computer (Fortunately, I have several) to download free Imgburn (which works easily), then get Ubuntu (Linux Operating System free download) burn image from the Ubuntu disc, put the disc in the drive of the computer crashed (there is a little hole next to the button you) can insert in a safety pin to release the door when the power is off) change the setting in the BIOS of the computer has crashed by restarting and pressing F2 until you get the menu BIOS... go to the start menu and choose Start from the CD, and then press ENTER. When the computer starts, it will see the drive and go to a menu to select the language, then next choice is "try Ubuntu without making any changes to the computer. It will boot the disk and allow you to view and copy ALL your files off the power on an external drive, which is what I did... including my Outlook .pst files that include all my saved emails my calendar and contacts, etc! WOOHOO! has got all my photos, documents, etc. The only thing that I didn't know how to get is my favorite... How to enter in the browser from another computer.

  If after this, an hour or more than make sure I got all the important data... I decided to see if anyone had a solution to this problem just fixing... I probably won't update again because Microsoft sends them and offers no solutions to the problems they have caused and nobody pays me for all the time I've lost get to get my stuff back and also to solve the problem they have caused. A update on my other laptop Win 7 zapped my outlook program and even reinstall it didn't solve this problem, even more work to do there, but looking in the files using Ubuntu's File Explorer, I found a hidden file that is used to repair the files .pst outlook called scanpst, or something that nearby.

  In any case, if someone has a solution to uninstall the recent update or to determine how it corrupted my user profile (which is the general consensus) please let me know.
  Thank you and good luck to you!

• How to make Windows 7 see the list of the user on the login screen, not just the last logged-on user

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit and have two user accounts on my computer. Problem is that the login screen shows only the last logged user and one "other users" button which allows you to manually enter the username. Is it possible to return to the display of a list of all users instead?

  Jon

  OK... I found how to fix this problem. I know it's a few years since this topic (and most of the people moved to windows 8) but for those who are still Windows 7 who are tired to type the user name, whenever you log in, here is how to display the icons of the user:

  WARNING: This patch is not a hack. I do not use any third party software. I am simply change a security setting in the windows system. The longest part is to find the file. As much as I would like to say that this will fix all computers, I can't guarantee that this will be the solution for your system. This fixed my problem because my just setting should be disabled. That being said, let's move.

  As an admin (must be in an account that has administrator privileges) click the Start button and in the search at the bottom of the opening bar, the type of menu "Edit Group Policy" and press on enter. When the local Group Policy Editor window appears, click on the following arrows in the left column to expand the lists to find the file to change...

  > Computer configuration

  > Windows settings

  > Security settings

  > Local policies

  Security options<-Click on="" this="" file="" name="" or="" icon="" (the="" arrow="" icon="" won't="" do="">

  In the right menu appears a bunch of system settings, find the one that we called "Interactive logon: do not display last user name" This is the setting which will no doubt say "Enabled" beside him. Right-click on the file and select 'Properties', then disable the setting. Restart your computer and you should be good to go!

• Windows does not load the login screen

  Hello. I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop and when I boot it will not go to the login screen. The screen turns black with only the cursor showing. I also want to add that my computer did the same thing when trying to enter in safe mode. I don't have a disc of resettlement. Please help I need to access important information.

  1 you need to borrow an installation disc or a system repair disc [32-bit if yours is 32-bit, 64-bit, one if yours is 64-bit].  There is nothing that you can do without one of them.  Buy an installation disc if necessary - see Amazon reinstallation discs and note that these are inexpensive because you pay only one disk not a license.

  2. start the computer from the disk borrowed or purchased.

  3. restart normally and the problem should be gone.  The problem could never happen again.  There are other details of this in a computer running that Windows 7 does not start when force you the computer to shut down.

  4 once you are up and running then consider the steps recommended in why is my screen black when I start Windows 7 to reduce the risk of a recurrence.

  5 you can also search this forum for a black cursor screen as there is a lot of discussion on this issue.

• Why does the login screen Windows continue reappear on my monitor?

  I use Windows 7 Pro.  Until a few months ago, I couldn't leave my desktop PC on overnight.  As soon as I sat down and moved the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard, my screen saver would disappear and I could go right to work.  It was great!  Several months ago, a problem started that I describe.

  Now, when I walk away from my PC for a few hours and return, I see the Windows login screen.   It is not all the time, but it produces most of the time.   My first step in tackling the problem was to check the settings of the screen Setter.  The bomber of the screen ("ribbons") is supposed to go after 12 minutes of inactivity.

  There is a box to the right of this setting that says 'On Resume, display the login screen'.  This box is averified.

  Then I adjusted to High Performance power settings.  PC display is Never set for when to turn off the screen and also never to when putting the computer to sleep.   I then changed the advanced power settings to try to remedy the problem.  I made sure the following settings are the following:

  High Performance requires no password on wake up.

  Turn off the hard drive at the end of 800 minutes

  The sleep settings:

  Sleep after = never

  Allow hybrid sleep = Off

  Hibernate after = never

  Enable timers wake = Disable

  Turn off the display = never

  Power button: Sleep button Action = Nothing

  For security reasons, I usually use my PC as a standard user.  But the login screen Windows guard reappear after I leave my PC for a while if I run as a limited user or administrator of the master.

  Can you give me some additional ideas on what I can do to remove the login screen Windows reappear after I leave my PC?

• Change the name of the windows at the bottom of the login screen edition

  How could change the name of the edition of windows that appears at the bottom of the login screen of Windows 7? don't ask why, but how could he change? Look at the bottom of this photo and it says "Windows 7 Home Basic,"

  and I would change it to "Windows 7 Professional".

  Hello Sean,.

  Thanks for the Microsoft Community assistance approach.

  I understand you have questions related to the modification of the edition of Windows is displayed on the logon screen. I would definitely answer your question.

  The edition of Windows is displayed on the logon screen is based on the windows edition installed on the computer.

  You will not be able to replace the edition on the screen to login manually. You need to install a different version of Windows to display the name of Windows special edition on the logon screen.

  I hope that I have answered your question. If you have other problems with Windows, please post in the Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

• How can I get an on-screen keyboard appears automatically in the login screen of Windows 7 Home Premium?

  I built my computer as a HTPC, so there is no physical keyboard.  The only physical input device is a wireless mouse that I use to click on the password when connecting.  However, to access the on-screen keyboard to enter the password, I have to click on the icon of accessibility at the bottom left, and then check the keyboard and then click OK.  Is it possible to have the onscreen keyboard displayed automatically or at least didn't have only a click of the mouse away as in the following image: http://george.insideiphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Viliv-X70-EX1.jpg.

  I found the solution I was looking for, and he generates exactly the keyboard as in the screenshot I provided above.

  I downloaded the latest driver for Wacom Bamboo tablet and installed on my computer.  I have no tablet so I was afraid that the driver installation would fail but he completed without incident.  A check of the watch workstation settings entry Pen and Touch is now available.  I then rebooted and when the login screen appeared, I clicked on the my account button that produced not only the expected password entry field, but also an icon at the bottom left to the on screen keyboard.  Clicking on it causes a keyboard integrated in the context in which appear.  It is not as large as the on-screen keyboard in Windows 7 I used initially and certainly not as big as in the screenshot (I'm looking at a 1920 by 1080 screen) but it's good enough.

• Keyboard not working on Lenovo Windows laptop and stuck on the login screen

  I have a Lenovo WIndows 8 20157 laptop, the keyboard no longer works someday so I restored it.  At that time, I could use an external keyboard.  When the system rebooted, it got to the login screen and will not work.  The screen keyboard and the external keyboard does not work.  The only thing that happens when I use a keyboard (external to the screen, laptop), is that if I hit the button S power options developed.  I can not connect and I can't run it in safe mode.  Already, I have removed the battery and held down the power button, which has not changed anything.

  I took it for someone who told me to restore to factory settings and there are drop down menu in the corner of the login screen, but sometimes the mouse works and sometimes it isn't.  For example at the moment I can't open easy access menu to open the keyboard screen, but sometimes I can't.  Any ideas?

  Hi Jennifer,.

  According to the request, you have problems with the keyboard on your Lenovo laptop.

• Loop between the login screen and home screen - Windows 8

  Hello

  I installed a program to update my drivers. This required me to reboot I did.

  Now, I can't do anything more: after I connect with my credentials, I can start Windows 8. Everywhere where I tap/click from there he sends me back to the login screen. I can connect again, but after trying several times I see no difference. I tried to reboot, but it does not work.

  Also when I slide the screen on the left to go into the settings (wanted to go to the configuration screen), it leads back me to the login screen, so I can't check if the program I installed is causing this problem. I simply can't do something at the moment, but open a session, click on, log in, click on, login and click.

  Update driver came on the official Dell site.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you!

  Here in this scenario, you need to remove the program from your computer. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

  Note: the steps also apply to Windows 8.

  Once after the creation of installation media, I suggest to restore to a date before you install the program on your computer and check if it works for you.

  Follow the steps to complete the restore of the system:

  1. Insert the media Installation of Windows 8 for example (DVD or USB key) and press the F12 key and click on cdefault Hanger or any other option which is at the bottom of the screen.

• Windows 7 freezes on the login screen

  I recently encountered a problem on the login screen. When I start my laptop, everything freezes. If I boot in safe mode network, it does the same thing. However, the command-line safe mode and normal safe mode works very well. This isn't a hardware problem. I tried a restore of the system to a date privious, repair with the DVD system. I'm a little lost, it might be something that is broken or the registry. Is there something I could be on?
