• Windows Vista hangs at startup

  I had a problem with Windows Vista in the past months where it hangs on a blue screen or crashes at startup. Usually, I need to restart the computer several times before I'm finally able to get on the desktop and then it works fine after that. I went as far as when you run a restore complete system twice, but the problem persists. Thinking that maybe that's a hardware problem, I ran a diagnostic equipment on the memory, video card, hard drive, motherboard and all other hardware components but the diagnostic equipment can find nothing wrong.

  Here is my system configuration:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  Hewlet Packard AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHx
  Hard drive 500 GB
  3 GB RAM
  Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE card

  Any help is appreciated.

  In administrative tools, choose the reliability and performance monitor and
  Click on MonitoringTools then the reliability monitor (type of reliability in research
  at startup). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, Windows
  updates and crashes by date. See if your plant started to occur after
  you installed or uninstalled something.
   
  In the control panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (problem of type in)
  The START searchbox), go to the history of the problem, your mistake right click and choose
  Check the Solution.
   
  Also get details of your crash blue screen of problem reports and
  Solutions and post it here.
   
  The two causes of blue screens are defective drivers or hardware failure.
   
  Try these steps to remove defects of hardware that Windows can detect (I
  not sure what you did before).
   
  Type of memory in the start search box, and select Memory Diagnostic and then restart.
  Normal and advanced race. This will take a few minutes.
   
  In computer discs right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab.
  then click on check now. Check that the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will
  take from one day to the next.
   
  After running chkdsk (what does the foregoing) checks file

• 64-bit Windows vista hangs after you run the update

  Hello

  Last night I ran the update of windows on my 64 bit vista laptop, he said there are 2 updates important (I don't remember what they were) and 1 optional (for security essentials).  I chose to install them all, let run updates, restarted the computer when he was asked and then pinned the problem.  Windows starts up nicely, all my startup apps pop up like normal (things like security basics, steam, etc.) and, if I don't touch it, it looks fine.  Sometimes I can get as opening firefox, sometimes just moving my mouse t - it, but the computer just hangs.  I can still move my mouse (sometimes it turns in a circle, as the computer working on something) but I can't click on anything whatsoever, cannot Ctrl + alt + delete... my only way of l ' down made a difficult start.

  I tried to use the tool of the previous version to roll back to before the update, the Wizard works well and said completing, but I still have the same question.  If I'm in safe mode or safe mode with networking, it works fine. I even tried to delete pending.xml to see if it was an update stuck but who did not (cmd said that there was no pending.xml found to remove)

  Anyone know what this might be or how to fix it?  I'm fresh out of ideas

  Hello

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
   
  8. in addition, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the software problem on your computer.
  Reset the computer to start as usual
  9. When you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  10. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

• 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.

  Thank you: Jean

• Windows Vista hangs on Start up

  After go to my uncles and install I have-Obit I did some scans and then downloaded Smart Defrag, there never have defraged the hard drive so I knew it would take time. Then he said: we had to go so I stopped the defrag about 10 minutes. Then I went to Windows and close. But this closed time was longer then normal, about 1 minute when normally it would take only 10 seconds or less. I knew something, but I was jumping it was small.

  The next day he calls me and says that it cannot connect. Windows has been urging him to do a scan to a file that is missing or damaged. He did the scan and nothing was found. When I went there, I did the same thing and still nothing was found. I then google and discovered you could save restore to last well. So I did... plant, tried to open it in Safe Mode, but still crashed.

  Any help is good. Thank you

  Moved from Vista devices and drivers Forum.

  Hello

  In Safe Mode are not available: try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  4. Conclusion

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Here is a link to it:

  ___________________________________

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  ___________________________________

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

• Windows vista hangs at login screen, not responding not the mouse, keyboard not to react.

  My father called me and is a problem with his laptop.  It is running Vista Edition family Basic.  It starts and gets to the screen where you type your password, but freezes it.  The mouse is not active, and it can not type his password.  When you try to start in safe mode, it does the same thing.  Someone had problems with this before?

  Hello

  Will there be any changes made to your computer before this problem?

  After starting the computer, leave the computer idle for awhile and check what is happening.  Check if you receive error messages.

  This problem may occur in many scenarios. These scenarios are:

  one.	The registry is corrupted.
  b.	A system file is missing or damaged.
  c.	A device driver file is missing or damaged.

  You need to do a Startup Repair or System Restore DVD to fix this

  Startup Repair: You can run the Startup repair tool by using the Windows Vista installation disc or by using the preinstalled computer recovery options.

• Windows Vista hanging at "Logging Off" of the prcoess judgment stage.

  At the stop, Windows went to automatically install updates and shut down my Dell portable computer. But he is now stuck at the step "Logging Off" and not shut down, even after hours. When I stopped manually and restart, it just goes back to the "Logging Off" screen and I can't do anything else. Several shops here have said they need to do a thorough cleaning of the hard repair disk in order.  Really? Is there another way to get the computer to block this process?  Thank you.

  Amanda,
  If you are still having this problem then validate with what version of Windows you are using.  First thing to try is to start on the Advanced Boot options , and select the last known good configuration.  If this does not work, then try to start safe mode.  Let us know the status.

• Windows Vista hangs after choosing the identity of the connection. works well in safe mode

  I was able to start windows in safe mode, and then create a new connection profile.  However, Windows doesn't always starts normally.  Using the original profile causes the screen to go black after the "Welcome" screen  Using the new profile causes the screen to go to blue after the Welcome screen.  It's a laptop with nothing fixed.  everything seems to work fine in safe mode, so I think it's a matter of profile.  There is no restore points, so I can't use system restore.  Any thoughts?

  Hello Ripplemaker1,

  I have to agree. This sounds like it may be some kind of malware in game.

  I recommend you create a new thread in the forum security, privacy, and user accounts for this piece of the puzzle.
