• HP G60-635DX won't start or switch to a black screen with blinking cursor

  Hello, whenever I turn on my HP G60-635DX laptop, I get a black screen with the blinking cursor right. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and I tried to do a system recovery using Recovery CD that I bought online, but the computer will not get past the blank screen. I tried to click on the F11 key but nothing happens. How can I find the computer to the factory settings using the recovery CD if I'm unable to go beyond the white screen with the blinking cursor?

• 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 - shows a green bar horizontal scrolling forever, safe mode stops at crcdisk.sys

  Windows Vista does not start.  It shows the horizontal scrolling green bar with microsoft (c) and then goes to a black screen with the mouse arrow that moves. Start in safe mode loads the drivers to the extent of the crcdisk.sys but meet once again at the black screen with the mouse arrow.   Have not the SATA drives connected.  Impossible to get to the command prompt to delete all files.  No work from safe mode.  Restore computer does not work.  I have looked at other posts regarding the renaming/deleting files, but cannot get to the command prompt to resolve this problem.  The computer is less than 2 years.

  Toshiba Satellite A205-S5831, dual processor running.  Running Windows Vista BASIC.  Hard drive seems to work, lighting, well working properly, no error at startup.  No perifpherals or a mouse, or a USB attached.  Disabling USB does not boot.

  Can someone give a help?

  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.

  Hello

  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
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  1. click on the start menu.

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!

• Black screen with blinking cursor after the passage in MSC mode

  I followed the recommendation to disable startup secure in the Bios then move the UEFI Bios to the CSM. But when I go to set up what I see is a black screen with a stable cursor in it. And it doesn t go in the Bios.

  The black screen remains.
  I turn off the laptop and once again now, but I still have a black screen with a cursor that is stable and that s it.

  It's like that and it doesn t go to windows even go into the Bios, I can t.
  What should I do?

  Help, please...

  Hello

  After the passage of the CSM and disabling secure boot UEFI mode, you will not be able to boot from the HARD disk as the installation of Windows 8 requires secure boot and the mode of the UEFI.

  Now you can boot from the disc or other media bootable (USB flash key) to install the Windows 7 system.

  I guess you've made these changes installed Windows 7. Right?

  By the way: what model of laptop you have exactly?

  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.

  Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation.  Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.

  The best option is to repair Vista first.

  Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

• Windows Vista does not start or repair

  I get a black screen, can't get into safe mode but can get bios.  Haven't tried to do a repair with the DVD of Vista, but when asked to choose an operating system to repair there is no choice.  So I can't fix or recover.  Why is this?  What should I do?  Vista is running on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.  Had no problems with it over the past two years.  I'm new doing a restore or a repair, but it seems that I have do everything correctly so far.  Can't understand why I can't choose an operating system to repair.

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Another method that works sometimes: at the command prompt, type of Vista startup disk:
  (a line type or copy and paste one line at a time and hit enter - enter a bracket)
  or "BOLD")

  c:

  cd\

  CD c:\Windows\System32\winevt (there is a space between cd and C :)

  Ren LogsOLD Logs (there are spaces between ren and newspapers and Logsold)

  RESTART Windows

  ===================================================================

  Sometimes it works:

  There are backups in the folder C:\Windows\System32\Config\Regback.

  Here is an article for XP and Vista is similar in scope. The config folder and its content should
  be rebuilt.

• Acer Aspire 5720Z with Windows Vista does not start in Windows

  Hi, I had an Acer Aspire 5720Z who begins to give me the infamous error at startup, which brings you to the display of the Startup Repair tool.  When it ends, a pop-up window message saying "Startup can not repair this computer automatically" happens.  I tried all the options in the Windows Vista environment, but at the end he continues to display the same message and startup windows repair cycles over and over again.  And I'm unable to restore, because there is no restore point created.  However, I could get details of the problem and we hope that this information, someone here can direct me to what I do, since all the data of the disk are there, it's just that here I have a kind of corruption of the file to be replaced.  Here is the analytical error:

  Signature of the problem

  Hope someone out there can guide to say which file I need to replace in order to restore this laptop.  I hate having to reformat for this little problem, since all the files are there.

  Thanks for your help and assistance.

  I thought someone here would have developed an idea for you on this error to fix it now.

  You can try this:

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

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  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.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.
