• Question from windows vista - get stuck on the Welcome screen.

  I recently had my computer startup problems - it gets stuck on the home page, even if I restart it continues.  If I'm doing a ctrl + alt + delete, and then it displays the desktop.  I have no updates that must be accomplished.  you have an idea why this is stuck?  Thank you!

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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 it.

  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.

• Impossible to load Windows Vista, screen stuck at the loading screen (green cursor will move to the right)

  Last night I tried to Hibernate my laptop (Windows Vista 64-bit), but it took forever so I held the power button to stop it. When I started it today, however, it would not load windows. I tried loading in safe mode, but it stops at crcdisk.sys. I tried using the automatic repair tool to find issues. The first time, it took about 2 hours to fix, but once it asks me to click 'Finish' to restart, it restarts and arrives at the black screen with the Green loading thing goes from left to right. It remains to this screen for minutes, hours. I also tried to boot from the last known good configuration, and this does not work either. I tried to restore to a previous point, but there was no previous system restore point. Windows was working fine the night before.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  The symptoms you describe point to a faulty hard drive. Hard drives can appear to fail suddenly like this so the fact that he was 'before' is irrelevant. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  haroonsj,

  Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

  You will need to install the Sata driver. On one of the installation screens is an option to install the drivers on the lower right side of the screen. Choose this option and put the disc Driver of Dell in. The driver, it seeks to install is the Intel Matrix Storage driver. If you need to download this driver and put it on a disc, you can click on the title below.

  Another way to complete the installation without the first installation of the driver is to change the bios setting to ATA. To do this, restart the system and press F2 to enter setup. Once there you can TAB down to the devices on board and press ENTER. Then tab down to SATA Operation. You see at the top of the screen on the right side the ATA and AHCI. Change that to the ATA. Save the changes and exit. Once the system reboots, you should be able to complete the installation. After installation and that you have loaded the drivers, you will need to go into bios and change the setting back to AHCI.

I tried all the options in advanced mode by clicking on F8 key-start in safe mode, starting with the command line, start in recovery mode, etc. and they all end with the same question.  I don't have a backup boot drive.  I need to recover important data on the computer and need to start the machine atleast once.  Still, I don't want to disassemble the drive hard, etc..

• Cannot delete mp4 in windows vista, even after changing the property.

  Hello

  I tried all the methods in the solution given in windows vista to remove off the mp4 files from destop. but each time, he said the necessary authorization.

  I had changed the security for the property for full control rights. but always impossible.

  can you please advice me how to do?

  Hi oscarpooh,

  This only happens with MP4 files?

  The following could prevent you from deleting the file.

  Ø if you do not have the adequate rights for a file or folder, you cannot remove it.

  O if not create you the file, you may not be able to delete it, even if it appears in the Public folder. If this is the case, you must ask the owner of the file to delete.

  O in addition, you cannot remove a file (or the folder that contains it) if the file is currently open in a program. Make sure that the file is not open in any program, and then try again to delete the file.

  Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/why-cant-I-delete-a-file-or-folder

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Ensure that you do not play the file when you try to remove it.

   

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to remove

  Start the computer in safe mode, to do this, follow the steps below,

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2: The corruption of the file system prevents access to the file

   

  You will not be able to delete the file if the file system is damaged. To resolve this problem, run the Chkdsk utility on the disk volume to correct any errors.

  Run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

  Now, type chkdsk/r

   Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Let us know if it works

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

  So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

  1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)

  2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)

  3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

  Hello

  Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

  However, try these options:

  Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

  Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

(Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
  -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
  -J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
  -J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."
