• Windows Vista could not start and wants me to run the Startup Repair tool BUT

  It does not work... it takes forever and then asks me to load the drivers... where are they located? I can't find them on my Vista disk or my drivers disk... using a Dell Studio 17...

  When he goes into repair mode it gives a big arrow after about three or four minutes... then in another five he asks for keyboard language, then select the driver...

  where should I go from here? I know that this has already been answered, but I can't seeem to get there

  Here is an article from Dell on how to do a manual reinstall of the operating system (but note this is a clean install and not a system/upgrad repair install so it will wipe clean all the process data): http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?docid=339949.

  If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc, you may be able to do an installation of repair/upgrade of the system (which would be better than the above option).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.  If you have problems to install the drivers, read the article above by Dell on how to obtain and install the drivers - it should apply in this case as well.

  If your system is still under warranty, contact the Support technique Dell and they probably have you will help with your problem over the phone free.  If she is no longer under warranty, there are still a few options of support at their Support Center who may be able to help. http://support.dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs& ~ ck = mn or http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/contact_technical_support?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs.  \

• 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."

• Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

  Hello world

  I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

  I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

  So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

  Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

  Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

  If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

  Thanks in advance!

• After auto update installed, Windows Vista does not start

  Individuals:
  Windows Vista Home Premium w/Service Pack 1 installed
  Dell Studio 1737, 64-bit

  Problem:
  Earlier this week (I think it's the 16th), my computer has installed an automatic Windows Update and restarted.  When she came back to the top, it says Windows could not start and asked if I would so he can try to restore the operating system to a previous point in time or if I try to restart Windows.  I tried to start Windows again (this time with my fingers crossed), but got the same message.  So I went for the #1 option and after half an hour, or so, I got a new error.  To be honest with you, I have seen so many mistakes in the last week, I don't remember exactly what he said, but I wanted to go to the advanced options, where I could choose a restore point manually.  I have put back to point restoration 6/15 and had no problem getting Windows to start.  Unfortunately... Windows REALLY asks me to install this update so at 03:00, after spending at least an hour and a half on the issue, he did an update automatic, rebooted and Windows wouldn't start again.  So, again, I am through the whole process (it's the only way I found to manually choose a restore point) and me to start Windows.  Then I disabled the automatic update in the hope that I could skip this update.  However... Windows has put the updates to install every time I put it in mode 'sleep'.  You can see where I'm going with this.  Now, any time my computer stops for some reason, Windows refuses to restart.  To make matters worse, the last time I had to go through this process, for some reason any he would not support up to 15 and I had to try again and it backwards until the 13th.  Please help me!

  You did little to restore the system.

  Hide this particular update, if you do not need!

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

• Windows vista will not start or start in any mode

  My windows vista 32 bit operating system does not start. I tried it in all security modes and last configuration. I also tried to start with an installation disk, but the disk does not start for me to fix it. It is said that windows could not start because of a hardware error and suggested that I leave my installation disc, but nothing happens. It just keeps going back to safe mode options. How can I fix start upward.

  Wat is the specific model of the system?

  Yes, many of the items in the list may not be part of your specific system - but if your system has wireless has bluetooth or has a smart card reader, etc. - it's order.  It has a chipset motherboard, audio, video, etc..  You just skip installation of items that you do not have by following the list.

• Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover

  I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...

  -Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.

  -The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.

  -Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.

  -In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:

  File: \boot\memtest.exe

  Status: 0xc000000f

  Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt

  
  

  Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line

  Hello

  If you are unable to enter the BIOS and all the other problems, you have hardware problems
  and need the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and glances at a Best Buy or any other

• Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

  My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

• Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS

  Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

  I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )

  I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976

  I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.

  If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.

  Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.

• Windows Vista does not start after Windows update

  I am running windows vista on a PC laptop toshiba l300.  He did an automatic update of windows and this morning when I turn it on it will not load.  It comes with a screen saying download of updates please do not turn off your computer.  then, he turns his car on and keeps recycling through the same thing.

  I tried loading in safe mode, but it does the same thing in that. I also tried selecting the option, the last load charge effective network via the F8 key but again that has not worked.    I have not all disks with the laptop, so I don't have a vista disc.

  I'm not very computer and have done everything I can think off.

  can someone point me in the right directioin.

  I working on my main pc at this time and did the updates of windows to be sure it's XP

  Janhsmn,

  If you do not want to install updates on your computer, you can select the "Hide" option and it will ignore them in the future and continue with other updates. Do not forget that the reason why the updates could be the cause of this problem would be because as a conflict with a third-party software. And most likely will not affect both your systems in the same way unless you have the same third party software installed on all your machines.

  To hide the update in Windows Vista, please follow the steps below.
  1. click on 'start '.
  2. Type "Windows Update" and press on "Enter"(on the keyboard) ".
  3. Select "Search for updates"
  4. Select "View available updates"
  5 right-click the update that is causing the problem and select "hide update"

  Please let us know if you need more help.
