• Windows 7 Professional with white screen and the mouse cursor

  I have a Dell Latitude E4310 running Vista professional 7.

  He went through his normal boot sequence (Logo Microsoft...) and then instead going to my office for display, the screen stayed black with only my visible mouse cursor.

  I can boot into safe mode and my desktop is visible.  I don't know what to do at this point and would be grateful to anyone who helps.  Thanks in advance!

• 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.

  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'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.

• 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.

  Message came that said my copy of Vista can be victim of piracy and go online to validate that, I did it because I have been using this OS for more than 3 years on a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit p2000 series. a few hours later my computer said it needed to restart and once it restarted it has a black screen with a message that he was trying to repair. It could not be repaired so he asked if ok to go to a restore point and clicked on Yes. I get the message that my copy is not genuine and my computer wants to restart once again, but I'm the delay of four hours. I did the command line to try to restart the service and access has been denied. 0x80070426. I found an ad on the forum and tried the steps there, but he failed. Mistake was 54. http://social.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/genuinevista/thread/de089d6e-63b4-4D6E-b955-30bb8e9525d3. I had to contact support and have been waiting for more than 24 hours for assistance. My Control Panel opens and goes away, but I could remove tweetdeck which is among the most recent installations of software I did before this all happened. I am also running xampp on my desktop and I tried to put in place a virtual host by using a different port - could not get that to work and changed the host to the original file.

  Hello Ebflute,

  I suggest that you perform a repair installation.

  Repair facility:

  You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.

  Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

  2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

  3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

  4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

  5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

  6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

  7 follow the instructions.

  Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

  Note: Tit the following settings is reset by default:

  Its computer system

  Device drivers

  Visual effects

  Windows Mail

  Windows services

  If you notice missing files after the upgrade, look in the following folders:

  C:\Windows.old

  C:\$INPLACE.~TR

  C:\$WINDOWS.~Q

  These files can be eliminated with disk cleanup as "records destroyed by upgrade to Windows".

  Delete files using disk cleanup

• Failure of KB967912 Windows Vista updated 10 x today and the computer can't access internet

  My new ACER Vista Office tried to install this update 10 x, today. It started while I was working this afternoon. Until that moment, I had a complete connectivity via a cable CAT5e LAN accessing a router and cable modem. Later, I lost the first internet and local network access. Before that, I had worked with Firefox, Windows Media, and financial software and everything was accessed successfully the ' net. Then, I tried to configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 to get my email. His inability to access my cable provider was the first idea I had that I didn't have connectivity.

  Each time, I had the exclamation point on the stop switch and Vista stops with the view that he was installing "Update 1 of 1. However, whenever I rebooted the update didn't install.  Also, I had to restart my modem and router every time to regain access to the internet for short periods of time; in less than 4 to 7 minutes, all access to the internet is lost again. The error code was Code BC2 the last couple of times, but before that I also got error Code 80200053 when an Office update also failed to install. (I was able to install the Office update successfully, after another restart and cycle the modem to regain power connectivity).

  Help! FYI, I had to find another computer even to post this question!

• Windows Vista - Bluescreen with text appears after the startup loading bar

  Help! I'm running on Windows Vista.

  I know not ALL the technical features, and I'm really in a hurry to solve this problem, so I'm sorry for the low amount of detail.

  Well, anyway, I pressed the power to force the button stop and now my computer won't start. I should not have forced, but I was rushing to turn it off.

  It starts as normal watch the bar loading for a few seconds, the bar hangs for about a second and then it goes to the blue screen of DEATH. Sound blue screen, with text saying "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer", etc etc.

  Then, at the bottom, it says:

  Hi Michael has,

  Did you the latest changes on the system?

  Blue screen errors may be caused by the hardware and software issues, and it can be difficult to solve the problem sometimes. Check to see if the following is useful.

  Method 1: If you have installed other programs, check if the problem occurs in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  Start your computer in safe mode

  Method 2:

  If you do not experience the problem in safe mode with any problem, you can perform a clean boot and check.

  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

  Netbooks come with Windows 7 Starter Edition preinstalled (Acer, Asus, etc.) and are therefore an OEM license.

  OEM licenses are not transferable to another machine.

  OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on OEM license dies when dies of this machine.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista came with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Can I use both on 2 different systems?

  Windows ultimate Vista

  Recently I bought windows vista Ultimate edition with additions of 32 and 64-bit. Can I use the 64-bit on my desk and the 32 bit on my laptop?

  Hello

  Laughing out loud

  Just a single license of Windows.

  You can choose which version you want to install 32-bit or 64-bit; but not as well installed.

  If you want to change the version of bits at a later date, you will need to backup your data and do a clean install.

  One Windows license is for a single installation.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  ·        Are you able to boot to the desktop normally after the passage of this screen?

  ·        Have you tried going into safe mode and checked what happens?

  You can try to disconnect all the external devices connected to the desktop computer and check out what is happening. You can also try to do a startup repair and check if that helps. Follow the link for more information.

• White screen at the Vista start up... only the mouse pointer, loading the driver freezes on crcdisk.sys loading, sfc/scannow does not work...

  Hello
  I don't know if this is the right place for this post... Sorry if it's not! I had looked online if anyone has the same problem to me, I found similar problems, but not the mine one (but if there is, can you please give me the link?).
  I have a DELL LATITUDE D830's with a dual boot (Ubuntu and Vista). When I run Vista I get the Windows logo and then a black screen with only the mouse pointer.
  Keyboard does not work. I can move the mouse, but can not select anything. No work of Ctr + Alt + Delete.
  I can just turn off the computer. At first I need to press F8 to choose something otherwise I get the black screen.
  If I reboot requesting the automatic restoration of the PC that he asks me the account and work only account is mine a (no administrator available). He then suggested to contact the administrator. I checked the error report and nothing is reported: the system works.
  I have no previous configuration to restore.
  I can access the command prompt. So I tried to write sfc/scannow. The answer is that to complete the process requires to restart the computer and make again sfc/scannow. I restart again, the new order, but I get the same answer...
  When I get the black screen, CPU is not disabled, because after a long time (about 2 hours) the computer restarts itself... If something happens even if I don't know what!

  The only thing I have not tried is to restore Vista from CD... I'm really afraid that this could remove the partition, or crash at startup I have, by removing access to Linux!

  I have a backup of all my files, so no matter if what I have to do to cancel my files, but what I really need is to keep Linux operating.

  So, if you have any suggestions... I'm not good at using the computer, so, please, a solution step by step be really appreciate it!
  Thank you very much

  Hi seymar,.

  I suggest that you run a tool to restart system on the computer and check if it works.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  1. Insert the installation disc.
  2. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  3. If you are prompted, Press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change the BIOS settingsfor your computer. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions. 4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer.
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you run CHKDSK on the computer to check if there are any errors on the hard drive.
  1. Insert the installation disc.
  2. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  3. If you are prompted, Press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change the BIOS settingsfor your computer. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer.
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click on the command prompt and type chkdsk command-line /f and wait until the scan is complete and later to restart the computer and check what is happening.

• KB975051 updates and KB976882 will not install on Windows Vista. They are Office and Outlook 2003. Anyone else having the same problem?

  Tried several times.  Windows Update keeps prompting me to install but it fails every time.

  I was finally able to solve the problem of not being able to update KB975051 and KB976882 by taking the following measures:
  In Google I typed in 'the kb976882 will not be installed.  Under options, I got "Download Details: update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Junk...» "the site of Microsoft.com/downloads.  I downloaded from this site and then also picked KB975051 on other popular choice located lower on the page and done the same thing.  I don't remember this solution being a few days ago.
  I hope you find that this approach works for you as well.  Ignore the entrance of miss under my name as proposed in another comment response.  I have missunderstood as a way to comment on...
