• Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

  My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

  I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

  The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

  The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

  Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
  During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
  It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

  My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
  Thank you
  I have.

  Hello

  I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

  After that, the system must run again...

  Windows Update error 80070490

• Windows Vista does not start. The BIOS loads then black screen with blinking cursor.

  So my friend told me that his PC was not working. When you press the power button on the pc, the screen of the Dell BIOS load but instead of starting then Vista it shows just a black screen with a blinking cursor. Still, the BIOS detects the hard drive and has the ability to boot from it, but it just that again. I tried the recovery disk windows, and when you click on the "Repair" option when it loaded usually shows a list of the operating systems installed and their hard drives. There is no listed on the Vista recovery cd. Manually, you can browse and find the partition from the OS than its sequel, and clearly see the windows directories. It all simply not start, nor let the recovery disk to fix it because the operating system is not detected. I plugged the hard drive on my pc with the same results. Then I started my Win 7 and Explorer, disks and partitions are once again still visible with the appropriate directories. Windows says the drive is working properly and has no file system errors. When viewing in the hardware Manager, he says it's healthy (primary, active partition). My hard drive working correctly says healthy (boot, pagefile, primary partition). Why used it boot and why the recovery disk not recognize the operating system and how can I fix it or do I need to format and reinstall vista?

• Windows starts, but does not charge not (black screen with cursor)

  [Sorry for the long post, but I feel the need to explain my situation]

  I have the following problem:

  I turn on my PC, and Windows shows it is normal loading screen, then it goes in a completely black screen, with just the mouse in the middle. By the size of the cursor, I can say that it is in a low resolution, probably 800 x 600 (compared to my usual 1920 x 1080). I am able to movements of the mouse, but with no particular purpose without something to click on. No other keyboard input seems to work, except for press SHIFT 5 times, which shows the keys dialog box to self-retaining (with just 'yes' or 'No' options, no other connection); and Windows key + U, which shows the ease of access Center. CTR + Alt + Del does NOT work.

  So far, that's what I tried (in chronological order):

  1. Start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with network, safe mode with command prompt Mode, start low resolution video, last known good configuration: all give the same result as to start normally.
  2. Repair of your computer:
     1. Startup Repair: find the registry errors (I realized and fixed this more later on)
     2. System Restore: did not find any previous restore points (I know with certainty that there is, I took the habit of making regular restore points).
     3. Windows memory diagnostic: not found error.
     4. Command prompt:
        1. Ran the command chkdsk /f r, has no error report.
        2. Ran sfc/scannow: I don't remember the exact report, but he asked to restart the computer to complete the repair of the problems. I rebooted and ran the new order for the same result.
        3. Forced the scan with: sfc/scannow damaged = c: \ /offwindir = c:\windows, concluded and repair errors, not always not load windows.
  3. Ran Dell Diagnostics start, found no errors.
  4. Startup Repair ran found once again the registry errors. I found the solution to this in a forum for Microsoft Help ( answers.microsoft.com/.../f77d5355-b8be-41d6-af24-cae994e1768f ) and fixed the problem. I rebooted, but the problem persists.
  5. Startup Repair does not detect now no error. I tried restoring the system again, we find 2 restore points dated AFTER the beginning of my problem. I decided to restore it in any case, but none of them worked.
  6. I ran Windows Defender in offline mode:
     1. Quick scan: and found 2 threats and remove.
     2. Full system scan: found 4 more threats, removed 2 of them, the other two could not be removed because they were in an ISO file.
  7. I've tried steps 1, 2 and 3 with no luck.

  With every step, I am aware that I am closer to having to reinstall Windows, then I decided to see if I could still access my HD to save my personal files. I did a live Linux CD (with Ubuntu), but I have a problem of mounting the readers, because they are in a RAID0 configuration. "sudo dmraid s" gives the following error: "ERROR: Sie: number of devices in RAID wrong value"isw_dbdffjficc_ARRAY0"[1/2] on/dev/sdb.

  Important details:

  I changed my graphics about 4 months ago (a 750ti of Nvidia GTX for an ATI Radeon HD 6450), and told me that I can run short with the power supply. The new card requires a minimum of 450W, and I think that my diet is 460W. This may or may not have something to do with this question, I have no idea.

  My 2 hard drives of 500 GB RAID0 configuration has brought me a lot of problems of the day 1. One of the HARD drive would be randomly (I am able to hear a clicking sound different when this happens) failure and the computer would break. At the start, he would ask a boot device. The Dell boot utility would then recognize only 1 readers, but would end without errors. After a reboot or two, everything would be fine and would be boot windows normally (apart from the usual error recovery screen) with no sign of corrupted data or anything. As I said, it happened are the arrival of my PC, but restarting a couple of times still attached. From now on, the two HD seems to work very well, the Dell utility recognizes two of them and found no errors in one of them, and I can access any directory from the command prompt.

  Is there anything else I should try before reinstalling Windows?

  Before the installation, I really wish I could recover my files (I have important documents of the College), is it possible to do this?

  Sorry again for the very long post (and for any errors of language, English is not my native language) and thanks in advance.

  Since you have not yet had your data readers. I recommend a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution, but at this point, you have probably tried everything.

  Use a reinstallation of Windows 7 installation DVD, make sure that you select...

  Select custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)

  

  If you do not select one of the route options and everything simply highlight the largest partition and click Next:

• Windows 7 Search index does not maintain the sites indexed

  My search indexer is not indexed parameters locations I do and after a day or two, he returns to the original setting whicgh was the Start Menu.  I changed the indexed locations to include most of my C drive, and it indexes all (the search function works well for awhile) but a day or two later, when I do a search, nothing comes.  I double-check the settings and find that it has been restored to the original indexed locations.

  My system is updated regularly and I'm using Avast antivirus.

  Thank you

  Hi TomHathcoat,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you are facing the question with an indexer search does not maintain the indexed locations.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you run the troubleshooter and check if this solves the problem. See the following article to do the same thing.

  Open the troubleshooter of search and indexing.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  Try to rebuild the search indexing. See the steps in the following article.

• Vista does not load a black screen with arrow

  Windows Vista will load only a black screen with the white mouse arrow.  I can move the arrow but by pressing the keys (including ctrl-alt-del and ctrl-shift-esc) does nothing.  The only way to turn off here is to press and hold the power button.  Same thing in safe mode.

  I tried the "Repair your computer" option (F8, or from the Windows DVD).  The Startup Repair option says that he finds no problem.  There is no restore point on the computer if it is not an option (it isn't my computer, the person who owns it is said that there should be a restore point, but if there is, the computer can't find it).

  The Dell (F12--> Diagnostics) system diagnostics found no problem (I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem).

  I tried to do a "repair installation" as in Windows XP, but this isn't an option in Vista.  The closest thing is an upgrade installation (boot from the Windows DVD, select install, upgrade).  But this option is grayed out, and he said to level I have to start the installation of Windows.  But of course Windows won't load.  Very smart Microsoft...

  The only option left is to do a clean install.  All programs and files are saved if we have all the data.  It will be just to save a lot of time and hassle if I can avoid it, and I'm surprised that such a feature/option useful XP has disappeared from Vista.

  Any ideas how I can fix this without having to do a clean install?  Thank you!

  Hello biznatch.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  Unfortunately, after trying a startup repair and hovaing, restore points is no longer to go to resettlement is all that remains to be done.  Excuse me, but this is what must be done.  It is excellent that you have already backed up your important information.

  Thank you

• Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203

  original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

  Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

  So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

  "I tried to do the second option, because the first really helped."

  Something works, or it doesn't work regarding: "really helped."

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I'm sorry, but I don't understand where the procedure of ISO part 2 stops.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You may be interested in this:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  See you soon.

• I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the camera to MacBookPro. Any ideas?

  I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?

  Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:

  - iOS: do not respond or does not light

  -Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

  -If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.

  -Try a different cable

  -Try on another computer

• I just got a black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Original title: OS not real question?

  Well, I bought a computer off Craig's list this week. Yes, I know this isn't the safest place to get a computer, but what's done is done. The current operating system of the computer is Win7. However I just got the black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine". I looked at the back of the computer and saw that he has a real sticker Win XP Pro. So is there anyway I can just download XP Pro on this computer and be good from there?

  Check with the manufacture of the computer to see if you have a "recovery partition" and how to use it to restore XP or if they still have the support of Windows XP available with they can send you to usually a small fee.
