• Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

  Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

  (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

  (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

  (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

  Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you're up a new drunning.

  They will tell you how to do this.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

• G10 - 133 started booting with a black screen

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I have.
  About 3 months ago my G10 starts with a black screen startup. I can hear the sound and all qosmio logo. Just impossible to see anything. So, I pushed FN + F5 and it would show the windows xp loading screen. But when it is started in windows. It would be a very low resolution display. So I have to change or push the tv out button twice and it would auto resets.
  I was in the bios and changed the beginning of the analogue lcd + rgb display and which will show that during the boot process, but continues to be carried out in low resolution windows.
  And if I plug in an external monitor, the two, they just empty.
  I tried to re-complete installs, qosmio Player re - install. NVIDIA driver, hotkey utility, display change. But still nowt.

  Someone at - it had similar problems? And if yes, could you remedy this?

  Yes, I had this earlier on my G10 and this was the beginning of more serious problems. The machine has started to behave more strangely, and it has gotten worse over time, insofar as it would lock up when you watch DVDs and qosmioplayer software has stopped working completely.

  I don't know if you have the same problem, but I took for Toshiba technicians and machine ended up going back to them for an overhaul of the system board. = problem solved.

  Oddly enough, one of my friends has had exactly the same problem and went through the same process to return the machine; I don't know if it is a problem that affects all G10s!

• Computer stops responding with a black screen when you start Windows Vista

• After the updates of windows, the computer stops responding with a black screen at startup of the system

  Original title: Windows XP does not start after the update, no error message

  Has made no changes to the system, but the last thing that happened was an update of Windows security on stop.

  Now when I boot, the BIOS p.o.s.t. shows good HDs, good DVD-Rom, RAM, but Windows never starts, goes just a black screen, HDs are not accessed.

  -F8 does nothing, can't use the last known good Config or Mode safe

  -Change boot order in the BIOS to boot from the Windows XP DVD, hoping to get the recovery console, but the same thing: black screen, no attempt to spin-up DVD or HDs.

  -Removal of mobo battery to reset the CMOS, no joy.

  -Checked and re checked all connections inside.

  -Stripped devices and added one at a time, no joy.

  -Traded-in an old video card in case it was difficult to generate the higher res gfx, no joy.

  I was construction/upgrade / repair my own PC for 3 decades and can usually solve the problem and fix it myself, but this one me completely baffled.

  Any suggestions?
