• Windows XP home version suddenly does not, even in safe mode.

  My computer at home is no longer operational. Windows XP Home version has suddenly refused to load. It seems to start normally, but never ends. I tried to boot in safe mode. Although safe mode starts to load, it does not end. If I try to start normally or in safe mode, there is no error message. A few years ago, I bought the computer with XP preinstalled. It's never happened before. I have all the updates, including service pack 3. However; I realize now that I did a backup disk. Any advice as to what are my options?

  Given that your machine does not start, you need to start a system on a CD.  Easier to create CD's free Linux Livecd such asKnoppix.   If you have a friend with an XP installation disc, you can try to build a diskBelia PE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows . On the chances that your problems of a corrupted registry, you can boot from that disk and use it to perform the steps in

  "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

  With a Live Linux disk, you can pick up the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux to copy, paste and rename the appropriate files.  If all else fails, you can use the same Linux Live CD to backup your data on a USB drive or a network drive before reinstalling Windows.  Most OEM computers have a recovery partition which is activated by pressing a particular key at the right time to start.  This procedure will completely erase the drive and put it in the State that it was when it was first purchased.  Quickly look up when you boot.  It is not stay there long.  If this does not work, you will need to get a replacement from the manufacturer of your computer installation disc.

• I uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 does not open. There is no error message - it just does not, even in safe mode. What should I do?

  My computer is set to the automatic update in Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for the office on 10-12-14, which seems to be at the start of my problems. This month, whenever my updates caused a restart, Mozilla has failed to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it lasted only a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it is still not open. All instructions to solve problems appear to be based on the idea that the program is open and just questions. I can't even open it in Mode without failure.

  I tried to reinstall, and it says it will launch automatically when the installation is complete, but it does not work. As Norton scan every download before it works, I am not sure if this is the problem since I never get the window that indicates the setup step by step for Firefox.

  What should I do?

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular resettlement performed using built-in installer. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

• Since the update of FF 8/9, many Web sites does not, even in safe mode. Any idea what the problem might be?

  All sites worked fine before v8.0 and 9.0. But now many sites (for example, newegg.com & baltimoresun.com) won't load. I hit the button reload several times before that something appears on the screen at all. I tried safe mode - no help. I disabled javascript, which helped some, but does not cure the problem, since even with him off a few sites still never finish loading. I've also disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and emptied the cache, all to nothing does not. He seems to graphics that are not loading. Someone has an idea what is the question? I swear that I'm ready to switch to Chrome or Solaris, if I can't solve this problem. It's incredibly frustrating.

  Well, the problem was caused by the upgrade to v8.0 corrupt something in my profile. Create a new profile loading problem disappear, this is the fix for this particular problem. Significant pain for sure, since the creation of a profile "duplicate" isn't a very elegant process in FF.

  WARNING: If you try this fix, be sure to first make a backup of your current profile. (When I deleted my original profile in the Profile Manager, it also - incredibly - deleted the files that I had copied to my new profile.) Any thoughts on that, dev team?)

• 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!

• 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!

  Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
  device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top

  Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files

  If no joy follow these steps:

  You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

  Try these:

  Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

  Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
