• Windows Vista does not start after you use the Hp Recovery Manager. What should I do?

  I used Recovery Manager to reinstall Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. During installation, it shows 0% completion although at the end it says everything is ok. After clicking on the button finish, he starts up the Recovery Manager again asking if I want to recover Windows. If I choose the Cancel button it restarts with the same Recovery Manager screen. What can I do?

  You can call HP technical support at 1-800-474-6836. Or you can give your product number, not the serial number, and I'll try to send you the link to order yourself.

• Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

  My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

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

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  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.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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:

  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.

• Windows Vista won't start after installation of microsoft updates

  I just install microsoft updates, then the computer is turned off and it does not load windows.  A box appears that says
  Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library.
  This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.  For more information, contact the application support team.

  The options are to click OK or close the box.  I tried both and it just keeps popping up the same box as above.

  Hi Mas_007,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I have a few here that might solve the problem.

  A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

  To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

  (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

  (2) enable half the services

  (3) determine whether the problem returns

  (4) enable half of the startup items

  (5) determine if the problem returns

  (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

  I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

  i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Additional information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.
  All the best!

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows Vista does not start after the abnormal termination.

  I use windows Vista Home premium for more
  two years without major problems so far. However, this week, I encountered a major problem with Vista, the computer froze and I had to manually turned off. After that when I rebooted my laptop, it will remain on the screen starting with drag the green bars forever.

  I tried the following:

  
  -start in safe mode: safe mode works, but normal startup after that still hangs.
  -System Restore: System Restore works, but even after restoring hangs normal startup.
  -repair of the system with the help of the installation DVD: is not able to repair.
  reports of undetermined origin.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance.

  "Gets to a point where I see microsft operation and green bar and it gets stuck.
  there forever. "
   
  Hmmm - it's therefore something quite critical, then! :(
   
  Start safe mode and run the System File Checker
   
  1) click the Start button
  (2) type: cmd.exe
  (3) right click the cmd.exe file and select 'run as administrator '.
  (4) in the CMD window, type: sfc/scannow
  (5) reboot and see if that solves the problem.
   
  If not, then in Safe Mode, take a look in the event viewer and see if the
  the events surrounding the last boot to normal mode give any idea regarding the
  cause. (Just use the app and the Windows system event logs for the)
  now)
   
  BTW - I saw boots to take more than 30 minutes of the Normal Mode - so make sure you
  sure leave you long enough!

• Vista no longer starts after replacing the motherboard

  Pavilion p6157c has been cut and required a new motherboard.  It was replaced by the closest match we could find (an ASUS M3N78-VM replaced the M2N78 - LA, that both share the same chipset).  Nothing else has changed (same HDD, memory, CPU).  Now that Vista does not start.  I can get the recovery menu, but all the options before you reset the system to factory settings failed.  We can do it, but it seems crazy to have to reinstall everything in this situation.

  I used the HARD drive as an external drive on another system to make sure that the drive works and is read.  I have read and save.

  Vista and Office on this system are OEM (no disk).  Other forums, I've got the indication that I'll have to get a new copy of Windows and do a full install.  Is this my only option?

  So, here's how the problem was resolved later...

  1 created the Vista disk as described in the post of Paul

  2 removed the original hard drive and installed a new drive

  3 use the Vista disc to install Vista on the new drive (used my own license)

  4 reinstalled the drivers

  5 downloading and installing LapLink PCmover Image Assistant

  6. install the old drive as a secondary drive

  7 use PCmover to recover data and applications on the old drive (this worked pretty well)

• Windows Vista does not start after Windows update

  I am running windows vista on a PC laptop toshiba l300.  He did an automatic update of windows and this morning when I turn it on it will not load.  It comes with a screen saying download of updates please do not turn off your computer.  then, he turns his car on and keeps recycling through the same thing.

  I tried loading in safe mode, but it does the same thing in that. I also tried selecting the option, the last load charge effective network via the F8 key but again that has not worked.    I have not all disks with the laptop, so I don't have a vista disc.

  I'm not very computer and have done everything I can think off.

  can someone point me in the right directioin.

  I working on my main pc at this time and did the updates of windows to be sure it's XP

  Janhsmn,

  If you do not want to install updates on your computer, you can select the "Hide" option and it will ignore them in the future and continue with other updates. Do not forget that the reason why the updates could be the cause of this problem would be because as a conflict with a third-party software. And most likely will not affect both your systems in the same way unless you have the same third party software installed on all your machines.

  To hide the update in Windows Vista, please follow the steps below.
  1. click on 'start '.
  2. Type "Windows Update" and press on "Enter"(on the keyboard) ".
  3. Select "Search for updates"
  4. Select "View available updates"
  5 right-click the update that is causing the problem and select "hide update"

  Please let us know if you need more help.

• 32 bit Windows Vista does not start after the electricity blackout

  Hello
  I was running the computer normally, and unfortunately, a power outage unexpectedly turns off the computer. Usually its not much, just start it as soon as the power is restored, however, this time on restart, it got stuck at the beginning (the screen with the slide bar through the green screen).
  It's the first time that, on an unexpected shutdown that has happened.
  I tried to leave the system operating at the start of the longest screen half an hour, but it seems as if the system was locked in a never-ending loop of the sliding, green bar as if the system can not find something to start upward.

  Hello

  See if that helps you.

  Do a Safe Mode system restore to before the problem started.

• Boots Vista 64 Ultimate SP2 (with domain) to the mouse cursor black screen white after that several failure system restores

  Who can help me to WHO:

  Sorry for fast hiking, misspellings, it's late and I do not use my normal computer to this problem I have.

  I am currently sympthym to start the black screen with a white cursor (furniture, put in construction in the middle) with my laptop Dell Studio 15 (model 1537) that running Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2.  He started tonight after repeatively, I tried to restore to a date prior to the System Restore tool.  I wanted to get back to Monday due to some software installations.  However, each attempt to restore failed and then after the 3rd or 4th attempt, when I tried to restart, I was faced with a window very long stop, and I was impacient and pressed and held the power button to stop it.  Subsequent starts, I've known this problem with no solution having been found for the moment.

  I tried several things at first, such that I tried Ctrl-alt-del, control-shift-esc, blindly connect with my fingerprint.  I tried windows key combos, but no luck.  Still stuck with screen black mouse cursor

  I have my vista ultimate 64 bit installation disc, and I started with the dvd and tried to fix it.  Automatic repair tool says he finds a problem with my start and had a difficulty to which I applied and rebooted.  But it did not work.

  Then, I tried to boot from the dvd again and did the repair option again, this time, Autostart reparir tool see nothing wrong with my start and I tried a system restore, but alas, it failed after having worked for a bit.  Telling something about restoration being corrupted.  I tried command prompt (X:\Source) and make chkdsk c: /p (which btw, implies / f as well) and it found some errors and repaired them or what not was wrong to write to newspapers, even if and then after long waiting, returns to the c: prompt.  No effect.

  On subsquent dvd boots, I tried the option to command line renaming a "Logs" directory and create a directory "Logs" empty (which was mentioned in some research online and even in a few posts here), but that has not solved the problem for me either.

  Dvd later boots, I have tried regedit solution method, where you will load a SYSTEM key and set some sort of AUTHORITY NT set... but when I checked key, she was already the correct setting.

  Then I learned that I could press the "Shift" key repeatedly while mode cursor screen black/white/and try the propmpt for keys pop-up to sticky.  But he said no 'link' as many instructions in this message box.  When I click 'Yes' to sticky keys, nothing is displayed and the pop-up closes.  Ditto for the 'no '.  There is no mention of accessibility settings.

  I tried all modes of security, but just a white cursor plu experience.  I have tried to use "last known configuration', 'debug mode', 'start logging mode', mode"disable driver signing"and again, the same thing, the cursor of the black and white screen.  I'm really at my wit's end, and I don't want REALLY to re - install everything (operating system, programs, settings, etc.) ... I did not back upward, and I use this machine without problem for more than a year.

  I remember once XP has a "repair install" mode which was really obvious to end users, since it looked almost identical to a clean install.  I have also heard (but can't really confirm) Vista has no such a fashion, that, by clicking on install, he repaired to the simular OS to XP disks how would repair their facilities.  I can't risk my data/programs/settings for accidental clean installation.  Help, please!

  Sincerely,
  Robert Eckman

  According to me, put it back in place, is the only solution to your problem!

  > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

  I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

  I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
  As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.
