I just installed a new video card MSI NX8800GT on a new Packard Bell that came with Vista pre-installed. I checked power supply which was sufficient (400w). Everything went smoothly also when installing the drivers which came on an MSI CD. When restarting the PC he blocked when he was on the desktop screen. After that it has been impossible to restart the pc. He blocks even before he starts uploading vista.
View 7 RepliesI'm having a problem where Vista is blocking SuperAntiSpyware during startup. I've tried ticking the "run as admin" box in the EXE's properties, but no joy. The only way to stop the blocking is to disable UAC. How can I reclassify SAS so Vista will allow it to startup?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled Vista fresh on the drive and now it gives me this horrible distortion in the graphics. Everything installs fine, I assume. I just can't do anything because I can't see anything. It's not black, but has tons of blocks all over it. I was thinking it was my graphics card taking a dive, but I can get OSX86/Ubuntu with Desktop effects to run fine. So, I am at a loss, as both the other systems require graphics acceleration. It's just Vista that doesn't want to work.

We were so very very happy and pleased that Malwarebytes free version helped clean out the InternetSecurity2010 virus/trojan infection, thereby resurrecting this Toshiba Satellite (WinXPMediaEdition2002,Sp3).
That.... we purchased a key code enabling Malwarebytes to run all the time
We did this despite some warnings by one or two posters on this site... '
well,
we have found out that Malwarebytes ... first...blocked access to one of our email IP host sites. After over an hour of searching, we found out how to add that site to the program's "ignore list' so that it stopped blocking that access.
Now we have discovered that Malwarebytes has disabled com port 3, which our internal modem was using to reach the internet.
SO, we have disabled Malwarebytes. We still appreciate the fine programmers at that company ... but the keycode fee to enable realtime operation of their program is, we regret to say, best donated to St. Vincent de Paul (or Goodwill or Starvation Army) instead.
Does anyone just happen to know how to fix this easily in Malwarebytes, (the Device manager is no help) or else we will defer buying all the additional licenses were were planning for our other computers....

View 4 Replies View RelatedError on startup. After a period of time. Having scoured several topics in relation to this issue, I am still none the wiser and like many pledging for some guidance, I thought it best to post here. Some quick Background Info;
I made this computer using my old Powersupply ( Jeantech 500W) and Harddrive. I had previously used the graphics card in my old setup and had no issues. This was XP, different motherboard, processor etc. I formatted the Harddrive and installed Windows 64bit and installed all the new parts. Drivers are all up to date except the motherboard. (Of which the CD couldn't be detected)
When I turn on my computer, at the login screen I receive small blocks of colour that do not match the screens intended picture. On the log in screen this is normally minimal, but on my main desktop this will nearly cover the screen intermitantly. Sounds bad? But it will either fix itself in time with the "Windows has recovered the driver Atiamtag" Or, I pop open the Chess program and on load up this clears the issue..........
Windows defender alerts me when it blocks one of my start-up programs. Trouble is, it keeps alerting me throughout the day. I want to turn the alerts off. In Defender-Tools-Default Actions, I have set High Alert, Medium Alert and Low Alert all to Ignore. But it still alerts me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedJust trying to startup my laptop but all it is doing is showing the green bar going forward and nothing else happens, I can boot into safe mode ok and have also tried last known good config and booted from the Vista disk to do a restore, but still doesn't work.
I have also gone into msconfig and disable all non microsoft services and everything in startup.
Since getting the new machine, I have had continuing problems with keeping my extra dvd drive and HDDs operating (Code 43). After getting that solved I started experiencing problems with the HDDs not starting (Code 10). The dvd drive is always recognized, starts fine and stays running. Now my HDDs either will not start or aren't recognized. On the HDDs that don't start, I get a Code 10 error.....with a little more diagnostics I get an error message that Windows can load the driver software, but the software encounters a problem when trying to run. The driver is a Windows driver 6.0.6001.18000, not a third party driver.
I have extensively verified that ALL my hardware is Vista 64 bit compatible, is operating properly, all my drivers are up to date, all cables are tight, etc. In short, I have proven that this is not a hardware failure. I have even had one dvd and one HDD connected (on different Oxford boards) and operating correctly, but after an overnight reboot, the HDDs cannot be started because of the driver software problem.
The drive manufacturer, Western Digital, refuses to support EIDE drives connected via bridsgeboards to Firewire. The computer manufactuerer (HP) is equally clueless and their Tech Support doesn't even seem to understand the problem. They cop-out by saying it's a Microsft problem. And because Vista is pre-loaded, I don't have OEM disks to try a clean install....I can only do a System Restore.
When I start my laptop up, just normally, I log in. I have that thing where I have to log in using a username and password, something that I downloaded and put into my registry. Anyway, all the time, when I log in, it takes forever to load up, it just stays as welcome and doesnt load. I left it for half an hour and it still hadnt loaded! So, I turned it off and on again, and it worked. But, a couple of times, I had to turn it off and on about 5 times ,and when it didnt load, I had to start it again in safe mode. THEN it worked. But, I hate safe mode!

When I try to re-start Windows, the computer shuts down and try to start but instead beeps three times and don't start, then I have to press the power button to shut it down and wait about 10 minutes before starting again.
I have Windows Vista x64 on an Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58 motherboard with 12GB RAM and an Intel i7 Extreme processor 965 with a Sceptre widescreen 22" monitor and a Thermaltake V1 cooling Fan with 800 watts power supply
Earlier today my computer had updates to intall so i clicked to install updates and shut down. This evening when I went to turn on my computer it said that iy had to run disk chk as it did this it said that file after file was corrupt and repairing this took a few minutes. After this the normal log in screnn appeared. I clicked on my name typed in my password then the screen went black and the pop up went as follows
Windows Activation
Reinstall Windows
Windows must be reinstalled to activate. Insert the windows installation DVD or CD into your computerto begin the reinstallation process.
I placed the cd in and nothing happened. I then started in safe mode and tried a system restore, but then I found I have no system restore points anymore. I tried to start with last known good start up but the same message appeared. I do not want to have to do a clean install as I have important work on my computer which isn't backed up.
For some reason, Vista crashes as soon as a DVD (hardware or virtual) starts to play (BCCode e3). LiveTV and AVI play without any problem.I deinstalled some programmes, one of which was Nero 6 Express.This Nero was incompatible, but wanted to try it anyway. Although i cannot pinpoint the cause of the crashes, but i suspect my Nero experiment. Anybody any 'serious' clue of how to fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday, I was forced to use my Vista Ultimate installation disc to reinstall Vista - since yesterday morning, my computer was not able to get out of a loop (first going to Windows Error Recovery and then, when selecting any of the options, going to the green loading bar, where it the green bar stopped moving about 2/3 of the way, and going back to Windows Error Recovery).
The installation went smoothly enough, but I am absolutely clueless how to get my computer to roughly the same conditions it was before this fiasco. Fortunately, it would appear that all of my files and folders from before this re-installation have been saved in the folder Windows.old. However, I am at a complete loss as to how to reconfigure my Internet connection, how to restore my previous screen resolution (there are now only three options for resolution under Display Settings), and essentially getting the basics back in order.
When I attempt to start stopped services, ThinkVantage task scheduler, in the Task Manager on a Thinkpad R61i with Vista, an error message says "Access Denied". If I try to start the services from Control Panel > Administrative

Hello, I came accross your forum and decided to give it a try since I saw the helpful people posting in other threads. I've asked this question in many other forums but no one seems to know whats wrong. For a few days now my PC would start and get to a black screen with a blinking "_" in the upper left corner. I would turn it off then turn it on again and it would work. I figured I'd just clean the dust out of it and do a factory restore later on (which I did).
But since yesterday, I've had to do 4 or 5 restores to set it to factory condition. It gets to the point where I get to that screen and I wait 5 or 10 minutes, then the screens says "fail to boot disk, please insert disk" or something. so I place in the disk that my PC promted to make when i first got it (for restoring and repairing it and such) and then everything works again. but eventually with all the automatic updates i have to restart of course, and it starts up again fine, but
after about 2 or 3 restarts it fails again.........
i got a new graphic card installed in my computer, but when i hooked everything back up and started it up, it didnt really "start", bcuz the monitor goes blank on me then i restart it again and i get the same results.

View 8 Replies View RelatedRestarting a PC (DELL Inspiron 530 running Vista Home Premium) after check-disk run on start-up starts Windows to the 'Welcome' screen. However, logging into any of the user accounts initially produces the next 'Welcome' screen and the little 'wait' circle but then it goes black and only the white cursor is displayed, nothing else happens. In safe mode, the user account loads normally.
Prehistory: The PC had started to do odd things a while ago: take very very long to shut down, more or less freeze on some of the limited user accounts (the boys'), not shut down at all, and similar. Today, as a further attempt to right things, I ran the MS Disk Cleanup (normally I use CCleaner) and Check Disk option on start-up. That reported quite a lot of problems and fixes and took a long time.
I am not on my computer everyday due to illness. So when I sign on to get my computer up and running, it says that I have not run my Windows Defender for over 3 days and it should be done. I have it in "Automatically to run daily at 5:00AM." I am wondering if it is not running because the computer is not turned on at this time? When I then hit scan, it does do a full scan without any problems. I am wondering why , if you have any ideas why it is not doing it "Automatically". Have I done something wrong? I have gone into tools and checked, and it is set for what I stated above.
