• I have a Toshiba Satellite A85 with XP Home Edition series. Windows does not start. At startup I get Toshiba logo then a black screenwith cursor upper left. Can I save it?

  Toshiba Satellite A85 Celeron with XP Home edition. Windows does not start. I have Toshiba logo screen, then it turns into a black screen with the upper left corner of the cursor. I have the recovery disk. Is it possible to record HD without re-formatting and losing all data?

  Thank you;

  If you run the Toshiba recovery application, you will lose all your data.  As indicated in the warning, this application will restore the computer back to wherever it was when it was first delivered by the factory.

  Without other complementary diagnostic information, it is difficult to determine what is happening.  Pressing the key (do not hold) of F8 beginning immediately after that the sequence of power should bring you to the Advanced Boot Options menu.  Try again then press repeatedly the key rather than pressing on and now.

  The recovery CD Toshiba, you have probably does not allow a "repair installation".  Contact Toshiba to see if they will provide you with a suitable CD.

  Given the fact that you can get a useful place when you start with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, my guess is that the computer is OK but that the hard drive has failed - or maybe more likely - the startup information is damaged so that it does not start.  If you have access to a computer equipped with a burner, download and create a bootable Windows CD.

  There are a number of available bootable CD which include various recovery and diagnostic tools.  You'll have to do some research to find out how to use the tools.

  Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows
  Ultimate Boot CD
  Hiren BootCD

  If you feel overwhelmed by the tools and I just want back the data, and then use the Toshiba Recovery DVD, make you a Knoppix CD and use this key to your data, preferably on a network connection.

  If all this sounds like too much for you - and there is no shame in admitting that--take the laptop for a good local computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather GeekSquad) and ask them to check it out and make sure to recover your data before anything else.

• Satellite P300-28th does not start - windows does not load

  I bought Toshiba P300 28th last week. I spent Vista business successfully in Windows XP Professional with provided Toshiba DVD. Update Windows with Windows Update. After 3 days, laptop turns off suddenly, and because Windows does not start, it in fact does not start.

  When I press the power button / stop, it turns on, shows "Toshiba Leading Innovation" logo image option and "2", "press 12...", and it hangs and stops.
  I tried pressing F2 and F12, nothing happened.

  I can not access the boot menu.

  I put the Toshiba Recovery CD, the hard drive does not work. Recovery disk does not start, despite earlier I remember put boot CD/DVD at the forefront in the Boot Options to Boot Menu.

  I checked everything, power cable, took the battery in and replace after 3 hours, tried to turn on the portable power, without battery cable. Did not help.

  Don't know what to do?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Fiona

  If you are unable to enter the BIOS (F2) at startup settings there must be some serious hardware problem.
  I recommend to contact your local dealer where you bought this laptop and ask for help, or you can contact Toshiba service provider directly.

  What you have tried to do is good but if laptop doesn t allow you to enter parameters of the BIOS something wrong here, and you need professional help.

  Hi all

  I have a tecra S3-PTS30-E, which came from the company, I work for which was no longer necessary.

  I replaced the current 40 GB with two different - hdd

  I tried both separately and windows XP pro service pack 3 will not recognize either.

  I have downloaded the driver sata toshiba Web site and installed via F6 at startup, windows asks you what driver, windows 2000 or XP, I click on XP and you enter, windows continues until advising so none found HDD

  I also tried to download drivers intel after searching other threads, and it does not work through floppy.

  I also added the drivers toshiba XP ISO using nlite to create a disk slipstream and while xp is loading the disc, I noticed 'pilot toshiba raid' being installed. Same no result no hard drive found.

  According to the specifications on this page:

• Message viewer window does not appear

  This started happening recently on my father 15 "retina Macbook Pro race El Capitan 10.11.3: when it starts to mail, the main display window does not appear.

  It's there, but invisible: I know because by selecting "Minimize" from the [Windows] menu in mail brings up for a fraction of a second before it zoomed down to the Dock. Once there, you can click the icon in the Dock and it zooms out on the screen, after which things work normally.

  Until you restart the computer, or stop and restart Mail.

  Oddly enough, this problem will not occur when I start the computer in Mode safe. However, I have disabled all the login items and the problem persists with a normal startup.

  I have never seen something like this and would appreciate any advice or suggestions...

  Try the following:

  1. Abandonment of post
  2. Move ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail to the desktop.
  3. Restart the messaging
  4. If Mail is not working properly, remove the com.apple.mail you had previously moved on the desktop.

• Windows does not start after the update...

  Hope someone can help with this,

  I just installed the update sp1 for my computer for Windows Vista Premium Home dir all installed with no problems, but when I restarted my pc, Windows wouldn't start. The only thing that is on display is a black screen with Windows Error Recovery on top, then he said "Windows does not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. I tried to restart it in different ways, but nothing. Then he said: I have to insert my OS drive to try to fix, but that's not even start. Everyone knows about this problem? This has happened right after that I installed the update...

  L.Butler,
  Are you able to boot from your Vista DVD or recovery partion and run the Startup Repair tool?  If you do not have a Vista disc so make sure that your computer is configured to boot from the CD drive before booting from the hard drive.  Once you start with support for Vista select the "Repair your computer" option and first run "Startup Repair".  If that is not correct the problem then boot with Vista support and select the option "System Restore" and choose a date prior to the update install.
  Once you are able to boot normally again, then I suggest that you are looking for virus\malware.  SP1 was released in April 2008.  So if you install earlier means there may be other problems on your system.  If you have a backup of your current personal data then I recommend to do a clean restore to install\factory.  Then immediately install antivirus software, and then do all Windows updates before installing other software.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Windows does not start. Stuck on the WIndows logo or a black screen United

  Original title: BOOT ERROR

  It's been 6 days since my computer is having this problem.i spin asrock pc.the problem is when I restart my computer it doesn't not load some time the screen appears black and sometimes windows logo appears faintly.and when I restart once more, he sows me windows error message it says windows does not start correctly and give me options to start , they start windows normally, sfafe mode, last known good... etc.when I chose an option and start same happens.but when I turned off my pc and wait a minute and start windows boot normally without a problem.is this because of my startup file or something else?

  No, you can't.

  If you have a true bootable XP with SP1 or SP2 installation CD, you can create a new installation CD with SP3 integrated using a process called "slipstreaming".

  It is a pleasure to the project for a day and there are several methods, you can read on the Internet, such as BleepingComputer:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial154.html

  If you want to use the Recovery Console and is not a real XP bootable installation CD or are not sure what you have, simply create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console yourself (without XP media required)

  Here's how:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

• Windows does not load and displays a black screen when it is connected to the power supply

  Original title - Windows Vista running on my laptop Sony VAIO

  Trying to turn on my laptop using the built in battery nothing happens.  When the laptop is connected to the power supply and turned on Windows does not.  It shows something in the sense that it does not properly off.  It tries to load back to a system restore point before the last stop, but seems to fail again during this process.  All that is displayed is a black screen. Currently the power on light is on, the battery light is on, but the drive activity light is off.

  Yet once again, I switched on the laptop and finally the Startup Repair process is automatically called.  After the display of the bar to attempt repairs, the system has been repaired successfully.  As a result, the I ran my Norton anti-virus, followed by Windows Updatesoftware.

• Windows does not recognize a blank disc in the DVD player.

  When you try to burn a CD and have a blank CD - R into the DVD player, I get 'Windows cannot read the disk in drive D ". I tried other discs and DVD, but it seems that Windows does not recognize a blank disc. I have another DVD drive and the same is true here as well.  I tried to update the drivers and deactivation and reactivation of readers but nothing is done. However, CDs or DVDs with the content are recognized.

  I had the same problem on Windows 7 32-bit (suspect this fix as well under Vista). After trying everything under the Sun entered Services (search for programs and files, type 'Services') and looked "Shell Hardware Detection. Found that it was disabled (not sure how he got that way). Right-click on it to get the properties. Change startup type to "Automatic", press apply then OK. Problem solved without even having to restart!

• Windows does not start normally after Windows Update

  My computer does not seem to start more. Whenever it starts, it makes to the 'Starting Windows' screen, and then my screen goes black. My primary monitor does not receive a response, but my second monitor stays on until the computer restarts again. This happened last night after that my computer shuts down for the first time in a few weeks to install windows updates from July. I had updated windows to try to fix something with iTunes, which might have something to do with my problem. My computer was not showing any other kind of problem before that.

  Here are some other details:

  * I use Windows 7 Home Premium (Microsoft Windows Version 6.1.7601)

  * Windows does not load with normal settings but will load in safe mode.

  * System Restore never works in the system recovery (a non specifiederror occurred during system restore.) ((0x800700b7))  and sometimes says it works when I do it in safemode, but solves nothing. Yes, I tried using different restore points.

  * I think that my roots of the problem in the fact that I tried to restore my phone, but the computer could not install the drivers correctly.

  * Startup Repair does not detect it.

  Attempt to sfc/scannow in command prompt returns two different answers: "there is a system repair pending whice requires the restart ends.» Restart Windows and run sfc. "during the attempt to system recovery and" Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to fix their. " Details are provided in convertible bonds. Journal windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"in Safe Mode with command prompt.

  I apologize if my description is a bit vague, but I need some urgent help with my computer. I tried all the solutions I've come across, but the same problem persists.

• cannot move the application window = Windows does not know how to do windows.

  It is quite ironic that the company that filed the name windows does not the best job to design a GUI of windows desktop:

  1. If I run a browser with multiple tabs (usually 30) opened with a connection with limited bandwidth (cable modem), the browser window opens but is locked in place (it cannot be dragged by the grab bar) until all the tabs are loaded.  ~ 30-40 seconds.  What is happening with this?  Who designed the graphical interface of Windows?

  Furthermore, is not a failure to set bookmarks, multiple tabs are left open because many activities underway, that's what tabs are for.

  2. If a secondary application window / "door" is open, the application window is locked in place.  If an attempt is made to drag the window of the grab bar, the pane starts a queasy nod.  The pane must be closed before the window can be moved.  The component can then be reopened to complete the desired operation.  Is this a real problem?  Well Yes, sometimes a lot of time is wasted juggling and spinning to get the installer of Windows GUI/desktop as you want, for example: obtaining information from a window of the underlying application and before deciding what to do.  This applies to windows, not windows, not MAC OS, Linux not.  Windows forever.

  Re. 1. If I run a browser with many tabs...

  It is not so much the result of the design of GUI but a work function how graphical operating systems.   Events, such as the mouse messages are queued in a message loop, and there is a communication between an application program and Windows if a callback procedure.  The operating system cannot always respond instantly when an application is busy as any other treatment happens.  Open the 30 windows! on the application startup is a lot of treatment and is bogged down the loop CPU and message.   If you want an instant answer to OS any level of demand, you can look to a supercomputer rather than a PC multi-million dollar.

  Re. 2. If a secondary application window / "door" is open, the application window is locked in place.

  The "sub-sub-window/pane' is properly called a modal dialog box.  Windows are usually coded in modal form (which means that they should be closed before a continuous program) when they include a message critical, or can be used to configure the application settings.  If you would like more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window

  These two conditions certainly exist in other operating systems.

  Hello

  First of all, make sure that your system is clean:

  using the analysis

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/ (recommended)

  If you have anti antivirus program update it and run full scan or if you do not get this one:
  AVG Free http://www.avg.com/gb-en/download-free-anti-virus

  Note that anti virus as Noroton and Mcafee tend to slow down your pc at startup and to work with your pc so if other steps has not helped your case, consider switching to other anti virus.

  Do using the analysis:

  http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/EEK/ recommended

  You can run it from memory stick too.

  "It is recommended to perform all analysis in safe mode.

  Make sure your system is clean first. use ccleaner to get rid of junkfiles http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

  Make sure your windows is uptodate and drivers work correctly and that they are as uptodate.

  Try to clean boot to see which program is causing your pc run slow or unresponsive

  Statement here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  Basically, it must disable all startup items and services of NONE-Windows through msconfig, and then restart your pc and then put it in standby or idle mode and see if the problem is resolved?

  Try to run less program in your startup, minimize your startup program. You can do this either by using the msconfig tool / ccleaner.
