  • Windows Vista hangs at the Welcome screen. Can anyone help?

    From early December 2009, my Dell Inspiron E1505 said hung up on the 'Welcome' screen, leaving me stuck and cannot use the computer. It would do this every time I tried to start it. Since that time I switch Safe Mode and using the restore system to get it going again. Sometimes, I have to use restore the system several times to allow to start correctly. More recently, I learned that when it hangs at the Welcome screen, I can press "Ctrl-alt-del" and then my computer will load up the icons after about 10 seconds and then it is ready to go.

    I finally started to 'Sleep' mode, and then it starts right up when I want to use it. The problem is that he sometimes stops for updates, or crash if I overload it somehow, and then it's a big problem, it'll still do. ... Well, now I can turn it on by pressing the "Ctrl-alt-del' when it clings to the host, but I don't feel comfortable making. I'm afraid that it will eventually mess worse.

    I have not installed any new software or downloaded anything by email, with the exception, so I don't know what caused this problem. I have the feeling that something has been altered during the automatic update of windows.

    Can someone please help me understand what caused this problem and what to do to fix? I need a walkthrough very detailed, as I am not a computer technician. My experience with computers is very limited, but I do not know a few basics such as obtaining safe mode, etc. My warranty with Dell has long expired. My computer is 3 years old. With the exception of this problem Windows Vista worked great shape. I liked Windows XP much better, but Vista was 'correct' that day until this problem came.

  • Windows Vista - stuck at the "Welcome" screen after the recent crash

    OK, so my computer crashed (Dell) a few days ago, and I had to reset everything back to the card factory, which has deleted all files but those who were on the computer, as it was shipped.  Now, 2 days after the accident (my second my computer boot time) my computer will not cross the "Welcome" screen, or the splash screen.  I'm in safe mode now, incidentally.

    Help, please!

  • Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

    It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

    I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

    Thanking you in advance,

    Hey the view,.

    Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
    Check it!

    It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

  • Vista sticks to the Welcome screen

    Hi, I read some of the posts that people put here and I can not find an answer for my problem, my friend has a computer laptop sony vaio and when she takes care of vista, it sticks to the Welcome screen, I got him to try to connect by using safe mood, but it just goes to a black screen and hangs , I don't particularly want to do a system restore because it has all its courses on the hard drive and that she wants to keep, is there someone who can help at all that it becomes a little depressing, especially since I have to talk to him about what to do on the phone? All responses will be welcome :-)

    Different is the system restore and system to factory settings recovery there.

    System Restore does not usually affect the data, such that it updates only one hour earlier...

    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.

  • Peut only the boot without failure; A regular boot freezes on the 'Welcome' screen and fades to black

    I use an ASUS laptop and everything was smooth until yesterday earlier.  I tried to start in class and it took a little longer (stopping at the 'Welcome' screen) but I'm starting up normal and thought nothing of him.  I'm going to the House an hour later and try to start and I can just connect to Windows 7 unless I Boot safe with networking.

    I have no idea how to fix this, I have no CD, I have no Windows CD that's at my parents (and anyway was a CD to upgrade), I spent 5 hours essentially pulling my hair out try everything last night and this morning still will not work.  I am now in safe mode.

    I would like to know all the details you guys need and how to get them and I'll probably get them to you immediately because I really need my computer today.  Thank you

  • Vista hangs at the Welcome screen, restore points have been removed. Any help?

    I've had trouble with this during about a week now. For reference, it seemed to just happen out of the blue - have not installed new drivers or hardware (to my knowledge). In addition, tried a restore a few weeks ago point and seemed to work... once. Now I can't explain it, but all the restore points have been removed too!

    I'm not an expert, but I try to tackle these things and could help. Here's what I've done so far:

    -successfully started in safe mode.
    -Open "msconfig".

    -tried to narrow down the suspects with Services' first.
    -Disabled all "Services".
    -Restarted and restarted successfully.
    -Tried to reactivate Services' one by one.

    -I got to the reactivation of service 'IKE and AuthIP IPsec keying modules' and restarted. Met again hung up on the Vista Welcome screen.
    -Restarted in safe mode.
    -Disabled the "IKE" service... ». Restarted fine.
    -Repeat the re - turn on and off cycle again, has got the hang up once more for good measure.
    -Re-enabled all services except the "IKE" service... "and rebooted fine. Working on the computer now. [Dell Inspiron E1505 Laptop, running Vista SP 2 with 2 GB RAM]

    Did some research on this service and I was wondering if it is an essential service that I should be running (see link below).

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733299%28WS.10%29.aspx

    I've saved personal files and try to avoid restarting own Vista, although whereas wiping and running Linux if possible.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Viza,
    I got exactly the same problem on Inspiron 1501 a parent who tried to correct - i.e. problem hanging welcome screen. I have just updated the drivers wireless to the support.dell.com site and have had 3 reboots success in a row, which is 2 more that I could realize by adjusting the parameters of startup using MSCONFIG. Interest how did you decide to update the wireless drivers?

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Vista laptop hangs at the screen "Please wait" when restarting. I tried the clean boot and reduced to protection services of Symantec Endponit (event and the settings manager and Client Management). I went to the website of symantec and installed the latest version, but the problem persists. Any suggestions?

    Also sometimes after you start clean it will normally start with running symantec services and then go back to the gel next time I stop but I haven't worked why/when this happens.

    Thank you

    Hi Frizzaldo,

    I'm glad to hear that you were able to find the guilty program causing the problem.

    I suggest that you completely remove the computer using the Norton removal tool, and then install the latest version of Norton, check if it works.

    Having a 64 bit Wondows 7 Home Premium on an HP Omni 120-1123w.  It freezes at normal boot and safe mode boot startup.  Get the "Windows is loading files', as the horizontal bar fills from left to right.

    When the screen freezes, all devices lose power.  All the lights on the keyboard turns off.  If I boot from a flash drive, the flash player will Dim.
