• Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

  Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

  (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

  (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

  (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

  Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you're up a new drunning.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

  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.

• HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.

  HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.  Cannot get it to boot Windows.  Any thoughts on next steps?

  I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive.  The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code.  This is probably due to a damaged boot sector.  Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive.  Remove all disks from your DVD.

• Windows Vista starts with only a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  Saturday, 02/27/10, I left my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405 E) because I used Studio to produce a couple of videos.  When I got up in the morning, he himself had closed.  I tried to put on normally, and he said: recovery error windows, then on lists: Launch Startup Repair tool and start windows normally.  I tried to do a repair, but it just comes back to the same screen.  When I try to boot normally, it shows the progress on the background as usual bar, but then he comes up to a black screen with a mouse pointer.  When I run one of the many diagnostic tests, it is said that the BIOS cannot find the operating system loader.  I'm pretty adept at computers, but nothing I've tried before reinstalling Vista works.  I have files that I need to keep it on the computer, and only a few of them are saved.  Please help me soon, as I need for my school musical production on Thursday.

  Hello

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

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.

• Windows Vista starts with empty office and the mouse cursor, then restarts

  I have trouble getting Vista to start on an Acer laptop.  The laptop is an Acer Aspire 6920 G with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on it.

  The PC will start in an empty office with stop mouse cursor on this screen for about a 1 min and then it restarts and you go through the same process again.  I tried the safe mode and last good configuration to know but get the same results.  I have also tried to run the Startup Repair tool and get the same screen.  I can launch Startup Repair to boot from a DVD of Vista Home Premium 32-bit and I can run but it makes no different.  When you restart, you get the same problem.

  Does anyone have an idea?

  No it isn't the trunk upwards with the black screen and the mouse.

  Hi KevinBricknall,

  1. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  Since you are unable to run start up repair boot from the Vista disc, you can try to perform a system restore start from the disc and see if it helps.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.

  What you are looking for will be in one of the following categories:

  (a) the BIOS bug
  (b) a pilot whose activity is at the origin of the processor target lock
  (c) a defect in hardware (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, pure and simple borkedness...)? I also wonder about default CPU)
  Therefore, check the drivers
  Then check the inside of the species (temperature, voltage, dust, etc.).
  Then run tests of stress of material

  Try this free video stress test: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
  Try this free stress test: OSS - GIMPS

  CPU Stress Tests:
  Just do 1 or 2 tests in most circumstances. I have not used one of these tests myself, so I listed everything I could find.

  Original title: BOOT WIN 8 on TOSHIBA SATELLITE

  Hi - I've updated to Win 8 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Now, when I start the laptop, it shows the initial screen of Windows but will not perform the process to the lock screen or splash screen.  The screen is black and goes no further.  I have to press the off button and hopefully get to go in standby mode (i.e. when the power led is flashing).  So, I press the button to wake that then displays the lock screen.

  Someone has ideas on what setting could be the cause.  I have looked in the trunk of the BIOS but can't find anything.  Also can't find anything obvious in settings PC Win

  Thank you

  Hi Richard,

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

  1. You have installed the latest drivers for Windows 8?
  2. What is the model number for Toshiba Satellite laptop?

  If you get a black screen after upgrade to Windows 8, it might be due to an outdated or incompatible graphics card driver. Update to the latest version of the display driver should fix this.

  Try to remove all external devices connected to the computer and then try to start the computer and check if it works. Follow these methods and check if that helps:

   

  Method 1: To resolve this problem, update the site Web of Toshiba video card driver.

  Check out these Microsoft items for additional reference:

  Download and install the drivers

  Get the best display on your monitor

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/get-best-display-monitor

  Method 2: I suggest to follow the suggestions provided in this Microsoft KB article and check if this can help:
