• Windows Vista repair boot loop - please help.

  Hello

  I had trouble with my laptop startup and having the dreaded loop of the Startup Repair. It started last night and I did everything I could to get it to allow me to connect on the long desk, enough to get my files, but there all come without result. I am now on my attempt 67th to get startup repair and desperately need help. My only problem is, is I have not backed up my files both needs so I can't do a full restore of the PC. Call me stupid, because I already know that I am.

  I already tried the three security modes, the last good configuration known and all the rest on the list of F8, but also contact Toshiba support, but none of them has nothing to help me. I did the whole thing from the CHKDSK, but she came back everything was clean, much like the Startup Repair tool says that there is 1 origin but he can't find not and comes up with the error code 0x0. I do not have a re-temperament of OS disc either and nor do I live near a "Geek Squad" of any kind. In addition, I can't restore my computer to an earlier point.

  I am at my wits end and very close to burst into tears because I can't get my laptop to work and I think my only option I have left is to do a complete restore of the PC, and I REALLY don't want to do that. My life is on my computer and I feel so stupid for it backs do not. This will definitely a lesson to be learned.

  My computer is a model of Toshiba Satellite L355D with windows SP2 and Vistax32bit.

  Please help me, and if this issue is resolved, then, I will be eternally grateful.

  Thank you for your time,

  MissSakura

  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.

  Data recovery, if required:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

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

  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 do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  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.

• Services of Windows Vista 64 does not, please help!

  Hi thanks for reading.

  Noticed the other day my firewall is not running. A few weeks ago my AVG anti virus asked me if I wanted to move to a premium account for a 30 day trial and contained their own version of a firewall. He said that he would resort to Windows Firewall when finished.

  30 days passed, and he asked me to return to the original settings and the free version. I don't check if windows firewall started running.

  And so back when I noticed.

  What Ive tried: Panel > Security > windows firewall - says "windows firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer" and there is a button for "update settings now" which when you click on it, I get the thing of glass hour for a few seconds and nothing happens.

  Run > services.msc > Windows Firewall - said State 'arrested' firewall service and when you are prompted to start, gives me error 6801

  Also noticed now that windows update and windows Defender will not be updated. Windows update search updates, but up quickly the code Error 80070426 and once again, to enforce > services > windows update/defender does not work.

  Then in flicking around, I have observed under the information system in 'computer' tab, he says: 'this copy of windows is not activated, click here to activate now' and Im thinking it is crazy! I have not had my PC very long, but I have activated vista right after that I installed it when buying. If I click on the link, and it says: 'a problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code 0x80070426

  Edit: just thought of something that can help. Awhile back, before this all started, windows update prompted me one afternoon to install Service Pack 2 and I thought "why not?" Well, after a complete system failure and me to have my friend rally and he manages to get into the command prompt and run 2 types of checkdisk, I go back to my computer. Now, I don't think it off anything, or whatever it may be disabled, but something could have been damaged?

  IM puzzled and any help would be massively appreciated! If anyone needs more info, let me know!

  System information:

  Vista Home Premium 64-bit
  Intel Core2Duo E8400 2x3ghz
  8 GB RAM

• Computer HP laptop window vista does not load please help

  someone asked this question and I have the same problem!

  I have a laptop HP who have dirtied pre-installed Vista and for some reason after installing automatically 3 updates the other day, he is not now charge up. The laptop is plugged in so it can configure 3 updates without failure (due to something like battery dying).

  When the laptop turns on, it gives me two options:
  • Start the reboot system (recommended)
  • Start Windows normally

  If I click on 'Launch Startup Repair', he comes back to do the same screen with them two options and when I click on "Start Windows normally", the laptop everything restarts and then return to this screen.

  Thus, F8-ing it does not help either - it gives me options like computer repair, Mode safe mode, last known good, etc... but none of these helped either.

  I looked around online for a solution, but most say on the use of the Vista installation CD, but the operating system is installed on a partition on the laptop (also there are files on what I would come down)... However I do not know if I can get it to boot on the installation partition either

  I tried F8, F11, F12 and nothing works

  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.

  Hi NoOneSpeciale,

  It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
  Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

• No access to Windows Vista Home Premium more - need help please!

  Hello

  I made the most stupidest mistake by not creating a password reset disk.  I have one account administrator, and this is my account, I use as well.  I am currently logged in as "guest".  I tried to create a password reset disk from another computer with Vista Home Premium and tried to reset my password, but can not, as happens with an error.  Now, I know that there must be a way to get new.  I have an idea of what is my password, but I could have made a typo when I re-printing and since disconnecting and tried to reconnect to test, it didn't.  Lycky for me, I have activated the Geust account for a friend to use.  So now I'm stuck.  I need to reconnect, so I'm desperate, and re - install Windows is not an option either.  Pretty anyone can help me please.  I tried all combinations and tried to make deliberate typos to see if I can get the correct password, but not to go at all.  And the geust account limit me to access what it is, I can't install of the software, it asks me my administrator password.  Is there another way around it.  Please please help.  If there is anything I can do in Windows, there's a few other kindof thing I can do at least.  All that will be a great help.

  Thanks in advance.

  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows Vista click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Windows Installer is GONE. Please help me. My computer (windows Vista) will not be updated or install anything. I looked at microsoft, and there are no drivers that are obvious to me.

  I think I did too many updates at the same time and it has messed up my Installer.  I ran 3 virus different scans so I'm sure that this is not a virus.  Looking for drivers from microsoft and nothing.  I'm really frusterated with this one.  If you need information, just send me an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Hi webchikk61,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         (Numbers KB) updates you install?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
