XP Mode/VPC does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate box

1 Dell Studio 1735

2 initially loaded with 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Including one instance of VPC 2007 carrying a XP Pro Virtual Machine

3 before moving on to 32-bit Windows 7 compatibility check was done and recommended applications, including VPC 2007, have been uninstalled.

4 Windows 7 upgrade was performed without incident or error and to end all applications and data were good.

5 installed, strictly in accordance with the files of the web videos etc., XPMode, VPC and WindowsXPMode.  Once again without incident or error.

6 in the execution either XPMode or VPC ago approximately 45 seconds of the busy HARD disk activity and then nothing.

7 I have a backup image of the original disc loaded with Vista as it was before step 1, above, I have tried several variations on a theme whose hardware virtualization on and off the power, order of the file install etc. but nothing helps

8 to prove the process and installation files, I did a clean load of Windows 7 then XPMode etc. on some old iron P4 and it worked a treat.  I'm actually surprised by not only it installed at all, but by the way it currently works on an area that was originally intended to spend the rest of his eternal life as a dump.

My conclusion is that VPC 2007 uninstall is not clean; He leaves legacy shrapnel (register?) in the system which is farce VPC.  Note that the result is consistent on several uninstalls, step 7, above.

Question; as the XPMode function is essential and will determine if a quantity of boxes are to move from Vista to Windows 7 where only once from here?

See you soon

Have you downloaded the latest version of Windows Virtual PC? Microsoft has recently updated it removes the requirement of hardware-assisted virtualization: both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC is available for download on http://www.windows.com/business/downloads. For more information on system requirements, go to http://www.microsoft.com/virtual-pc, I upgraded my installation of Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 with Virtual PC 2007 SP1 3 year old last year and I was able to uninstall it and install XP Mode successfully.

  • Satellite C55 - Has - 1 L 0 does not start in Windows 8

    Hey guys.
    I hope you can help me a bit.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - has - 1 L 0 here and it does not start in Windows 8.

    I turn it on, the Toshiba start screen appears, and then I get a message on a black screen saying "media control" (failure) and after a little while "no boot device. Please restart.

    I checked the BiOS and it does not see the hard drive (said HARD drive - no) and even in the boot order list, I don't get a list with the DVD drive with the exact name, but for the HARD drive.
    I tried to do a recocery with the F12 key and get the list to choosw where I want to start but by selecting the disk hard does not work.

    So I thought I'd try a live distribution of linux to see where is my hard drive and back up my data (after some settings in the BIOS - boot CMS mode) but I can't find there too. (I have a file fstab and mtab, it would help if I posted it here?)
    Is my HARD drive broken? Can I try something else?

    Thank you very much!

    You are right. This issue should be fixed by the authorized service provider.
    Furthermore, why do some risk steps to check this problem, if the warranty is valid.
    Warranty will cover the repair costs.

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.

    I have a laptop Toshiba A300-259 and I have problems trying to get into windows.
    When I try to start my laptop, it would remain on the screen of the Microsoft logo with no response. I tried to use the HDD recovery procedure (link below) but if the screen jumps just to load Microsoft. I tried also security mode, but when it finishes loading all the drivers it just freezes.

    Hi mate

    Well, if you didn t create a recovery disk previously, you must purchase a new recovery disk.

    If the Windows operating system starts not using safe mode or normal mode and if the HDD recovery procedure does not start then I n t see other options for you to try the recovery disk.

  • C50-A0113 satellite does not start in windows

    Hello.

    I have a toshiba satellite laptop C50-A0113 8 64-bit windows running.

    Ive had exactly two years a few days ago I restarted and then when it starts up, it stops at the screen "Toshiba leading innovation" and then he said: scanning and repair drive C, while on this screen it starts the process and then stops at 34%.

    It was two days ago now it just gets stuck on the "screen toshiba innovation leader" and then after a few minutes, it says preparation auto repair.

    Then he leaves the screen and goes to a screen black for a few minutes then flashes the blue screen written "your computer has encountered a problem" then restarts.

    I tried to create a bootable windows disc 8 in order to repair, but it does not start even in the usb port.
    I restart and press f12 to select the media to begin. It checks the media goes to the toshiba screen, then everything goes black for a few minutes until what it restarts.

    Can I please know what is the problem and how can I possibly fix it because the problem is clearly not my hard drive.

    I have removed and put into another laptop and it was fine

    Hello

    If you want to start Notepad using external media (such as a CD or USB flash memory key) you must disable the secure in the BIOS boot option.

    If you want to install Win 7, you must also pass the CSM mode UEFI Boot Mode.

    For me it of not quite clear if you created the recovery media (flash memory stick or disk)

    If you created one in the past, you could use this recovery media to put the laptop back to factory settings.

    In the case where this is not possible, some of the material (perhaps HDD) could be affected.

  • Computer does not start after Windows update

    I built my computer in December last year, which makes it less than a year. It has worked fine until this last week when I decided to give a few necessary windows updates a lot. I decided to download and install all night, and now it does not start. I get nothing on the screen. I don't get the safe mode options. I didn't get last known good configuration options. I don't not even a splash screen. After a full minute, it turns off again, regardless of how many times I turn it back on. It happened for a few days. Are no external hard drives not connected; only an intern. The only devices I plugged are my keyboard and mouse. Can anyone offer a solution? Whatever happened to you?

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.

    The first time I tried to start after downloading the updates, he went to the boot screen windows 7 usual, that clear blue that says it configures windows and not turn off the computer during the process. Before we were told: "Welcome to Windows," he said "Shutting Down", but not before the configuration of progress has reached 100%. At this time, everything seemed normal. After the computer turns.

    Thank you, Josh

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with your Windows 7 computer. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. Then I suggest you to perform auto repair. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  • Windows 8 Pro does not start after windows update updates for April

    Hello

    Pulled up to my PC this morning and was asked to install updates from windows update. Check the list, there are 11 important available updates. I have unchecked and hiding implementing Nvidia updated as I want to do the updates of my GPU myself. Installed the remaining 10, completed and has been asked to restart my PC.

    The problems starts here; I am more able to start windows.

    It is past the bios screen, shows the blue flag with a circle of rotation below and then... nothing more than a black screen and my screen goes to mode 'sleep'.

    I tried to start in safe mode minimum clean using a prompt (bcdedit/set {default} safeboot) repair my installation disk option, but it does not start even in safe mode.

    I run system restore turned on so that the option is not valid for me.

    The system is now check the disk for errors, but it seems to hang there as well as happens for more than 2 hours now...

    Any way that I can return the updates of windows on the outside? Any other suggestions than the reset of the installation disc?

    Spec: Evga x 58 classified 3, Intel Core i7 950, 2 x Geforce GTX 580 in SLI, 12 GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3, Corsair Force 3 SSD 128 gb, Dell u2711 2560 x 1440. Win Pro 8 x 64, completely up to date with the latest drivers. PC worked perfectly up to this Point.

    Disappointed that the "major updates" Microsoft kills my work machine.

    Problem solved now and it was the update of KB2808735 who was / is the origin of the problem.

    I placed my SSD into another computer and was able to pull up in SafeMode off and remove the updates.

    Installed all the updates one by one until it chrashed again installing the update mentioned above.
