    Hi scoobydoochick,

    1. what recovery disc do you have?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

    Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

    Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

    Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

  • 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 Vista does not load all the black white backlit display.

    I'm repairing computer of my aunt. It's a laptop gateway M-6320. Windows Vista. It loads the bios and goes through the MAIL. After the POST, it just goes to a screen backlit black white with no mouse and nothing happens.

    Tried to change the boot order to boot from the cd first and put the disc of windows 7 in to run a repair (I don't have a vista cd), but it does not always load. everything sounds like it turns on and works fine. the dvd sounds like it runs for a few seconds. I also tried to boot from usb with windows 7 there. still won't load what it is. I took out the battery tested cmos it is 2, 5V. I think it was. still nothing. I left the computer for a whole night. still nothing. I changed the hard drive even though it sounds like it's working. still nothing. I even tried a windows xp cd in the freak chance, it was a bad cd. and nothing is connected to the computer while I'm trying to start. He's not going for advanced options or to try safe mode.

    I also tried to put the memtest on USB, but it will not load anything from him even with usb as the first boot option. and I tried different usb drives also.

    I can't figure what's wrong... my only thought is that the bios is corrupted or the RAM is bad. Anyone have any ideas? Oh and the bios is Phoenix

    Hello

    Since you've already tried all the troubleshooting steps, including booting from a Windows 7 disc to repair the Windows installation. If all else fails, then I think that
    It's a hardware problem. I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer or take it to a tech store to get help.

  • 32 bit Windows Vista does not start after the electricity blackout

    Hello
    I was running the computer normally, and unfortunately, a power outage unexpectedly turns off the computer. Usually its not much, just start it as soon as the power is restored, however, this time on restart, it got stuck at the beginning (the screen with the slide bar through the green screen).
    It's the first time that, on an unexpected shutdown that has happened.
    I tried to leave the system operating at the start of the longest screen half an hour, but it seems as if the system was locked in a never-ending loop of the sliding, green bar as if the system can not find something to start upward.

  • Windows Vista does not start after the abnormal termination.

    I use windows Vista Home premium for more
    two years without major problems so far. However, this week, I encountered a major problem with Vista, the computer froze and I had to manually turned off. After that when I rebooted my laptop, it will remain on the screen starting with drag the green bars forever.

    I tried the following:


    -start in safe mode: safe mode works, but normal startup after that still hangs.
    -System Restore: System Restore works, but even after restoring hangs normal startup.
    -repair of the system with the help of the installation DVD: is not able to repair.
    reports of undetermined origin.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    "Gets to a point where I see microsft operation and green bar and it gets stuck.
    there forever. "
     
    Hmmm - it's therefore something quite critical, then! :(
     
    Start safe mode and run the System File Checker
     
    1) click the Start button
    (2) type: cmd.exe
    (3) right click the cmd.exe file and select 'run as administrator '.
    (4) in the CMD window, type: sfc/scannow
    (5) reboot and see if that solves the problem.
     
    If not, then in Safe Mode, take a look in the event viewer and see if the
    the events surrounding the last boot to normal mode give any idea regarding the
    cause. (Just use the app and the Windows system event logs for the)
    now)
     
    BTW - I saw boots to take more than 30 minutes of the Normal Mode - so make sure you
    sure leave you long enough!

  • Windows Vista does not respond after the removal of a usb device! HELP Please!

    I have windows vista for my PC and I noticed that most of the time when I remove a usb device, the computer is unresponsive and crashes on me shortly after. And I won't have any choice but to cut the main power supply if the computer shuts down. I know that this cannot continue and will eventually damage the computer. Is there a solution and why this can happen?

    Hi ClaudL,

    1. this happens with all type USB devices?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • 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!

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
