Keyboard Not Work When Boot Up Vista
Feb 6, 2009As of yesterday, my PS/2 keyboard will not work when I boot up Vista. What is odd is that it *will* still work in the bios and on the prompt asking whether to boot in safe mode. The keyboard is just a generic PS/2 keyboard. I also tried plugging in another keyboard, to no avail. Lastly, I do not own a USB keyboard of any sort.

Jun 24, 2009my challenge is to solve this slimy bsod: error 0x0000007b (it swoops in right when vista is telling me the version of os --after drivers are loaded). I have done a few things, like using vista boot cd to try bootrec.exe (and all it's commands), searching for winload.exe (which hasn't been modified since 2008 by the time stamp), I've done chkdsk /f, and maybe a few other things which right now I can't remember....so If you dare try your hand at the mutant, ooze-breathing bsod I commend you brave one, but I warn you...yes.

View 9 Replies View RelatedKeyboard & Mouse Freeze Immediately On Boot
Feb 12, 2010I've got a major problem on my home machine ... No new software or hardware additions in the last month. I re-booted after MS latest flurry of updates and it seemed to come up OK but BOTH the mouse and keyboard were frozen. No reponse whatsoever although I can see the desktop fine and the machine seems to be running. I determined this by trying to plug in a USB keyboard & mouse. Upon doing this, Vista beeped and recognized them & installed drivers, but they too were frozen. Thinking this could be a virus or malware problem, I tried booting to the NAV disk to try and scan, but instead of booting, I got a BSOD complaining about the file: rdacdisk.sys & the error that it unloaded with pending operations. Since the machine is a Fry's OEM box, it didn't come with a repair CD,
so I grabbed a spare disk & reloaded virgin vista to it. It booted fine & that's what I'm running on now. My original system disk looks fine.I then made a repair CD from the torrent file at neosmart.com. It too found no problems on my original system disk. The disk I used to reload vista is actually too small to load NAV, so I'm going to have to dig up something bigger if I want to scan it. Or move it to another system with NAV. Does any of this sound familiar or match a known problem ? I just realized that my above description was naccurate. When I plugged in the USB keyboard & mouse, things remained frozen because the OS popped up a box prompting me to install the drivers for the new devices. Without a keyboard or mouse, I couldn't tell it to proceed........
Keeps Telling Computer Is Up To Date
May 17, 2008I have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone.

View 9 Replies View RelatedKeyboard: Vista Shortcut Keys & Mouse
Aug 18, 2008I'm using a Logitech MX 5500 Revolution keyboard and mouse combo. As you may or may not know, the keyboard has special vista shortcut keys, such media center, 3d flip, gadgets, photo gallery etc. Anyways, I've noticed that these shortcut keys don't work, until I open up the logitech software that configures and calibrates all the buttons on the hardware. So pretty much once I've opened up the program these keys work, but on startup and before I open up the software they dont. I've installed the drivers and I've checked my msconfig to see wether or not the service is switched off on startup, and it is on.

Mar 26, 2008I had an Vista 32 bit version installed and which was used fine.
3 days before I had upgrade my PC's memory to 4G, then I find Vista 32 Bit version can not recognize all the memory.So I try to install an Vista 64 Bit version for the test to check if the 64 bit system is ok for me.
The problem is, Vista 32 was installed on to the 3rd partition of the harddisk,usually the drive letter will be E in Windows XP and previous version windows, although it in Vista it display as C drive. I tried to install the 64 Bit Vista in to the 4th partiton. After all the drivers and applications install completed,that seems so far so good. Then I find my previous F drive now names C. The Drive C in Vista 32 Bit names E now. When
I try to boot into Vista 32, the error message : winload.exe could not find.
I used bcdedit try to redirect the device and osdevice to E drive, Vista 32 still could not start normally, the system will hang up in the blue desktop background,seems can not load user profile or sth like that.
I have check the E drive, all the files of Vista 32 are still there.Anyone have any good idea about fix the Vista 32 bit boot and keep the Vista 64 bit also?
Having Two Copies Of Vista On One Computer: Install Vista On The Smaller Drive, Boot With That, And Access Files On The Other Drive
Dec 25, 2008Right now I have a single 640 gig HDD that everything's on. I've got a laptop too that I'm gonna be taking out on rotations eventually. I wanted to get a new smaller (250GB) HDD and put my Vista on that, so my 640 will be data only (then I could take it with me in an external enclosure and leave the desktop for my mom to use til I come back and collect it). I was gonna DBAN the 640, but I wanted to get the data off of it first- about 170 GB of stuff that I'd rather not lose.
My question is-
Can I install Vista on the smaller drive, boot with that, and access files on the other drive? Would it work if there's another Vista running on the other drive? (both SATA).

OS's Vista And XP Cannot Get It To Boot
Jan 31, 2009I have two OS's Vista and also XP and its XP that is the problem in so much as I cannot get it to boot, I get the error ntldr is missing, and no matter if I put the disk in and try to boot from the disk, the system still won't play ball, it just tells me to ctrl-alt-del to reboot, this is despite me pressing any key to boot from the disk.
I really do not know what else to do, getting XP to work is not a major issue for me, but it would be nice to see what I have on that drive. As a point of note, I have both my operating systems in caddies, so I can remove Vista and slide XP in whenever I want to, incase some of you have not heard of caddies.
Boot Off Vista Cd
Sep 1, 2008I'm attempting to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The Pioneer DVD drives come with a cd with drivers on them This is a brand new build everything brand new, and my first install for the Operating System Attempting to set up RAID so heres the problem, I try to boot off of the Vista CD. For some reason before it can install, it stops and says that I need to select a driver for the CD Roms, but nothing is there to select. It says that it can't find any, and that if needed, to put in a cd to install the drivers. I do so, it says it still can't find any. I can't move on, and I have tried EVERYTHING. I'm hoping that someone else has had this problem and has solved it. I've tried a different CD rom that does not require loadable drivers to work, and the same problem exists. Why does Windows Vista need drivers for the CD Rom if it is able to get that far without the 'needed' drivers?! I am so confused and I don't know where to turn.

Oct 14, 2009I have a big problem with my Windows Vista Ultimate installation: In my PC I have 2 Sata HD units in the first one (at the time I installed Vista) there was a Windows Xp working installation. Vista have been installed on the second unit but after several time I discovered that the actual boot have been installed on the first disk MBR (that with Windows Xp). Now I had to remove the first disk unit and obviously this will prevent Vista to start. How can I handle that? There's a way to 'rebuild' the Vista boot?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBootrec.exe Now Allows Boot Into Vista
May 13, 2010In a fit of stupidity I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and went with dual boot, but it just would not see my WiFi router regardless of what I tried, so got rid of it following some online advice, using the bootrec.exe/fixmbr command, which now allows me to boot straight into Vista. However, if you look at the pic attached you will see I have a huge lump of free space 41.64gb free space which I can't use for anything. Is there a way for me to re-combine the 41.64gb free space with the C: drive again, the options allowed are displayed in the pic, also there is another slice of the drive 5.37gb which I'd also like to be able to use.
I'm not sure I've made my self clear on what I'd like to acheive, which is to bring both of theses slices back in to the C: drive. On right clicking the 5.37gb drive the only option is Help, as neither of theses slices has a drive letter I don't see how I can do anything to them. The only options I have for the 41.64gb free space seems to be to make a simple volume (not sure what that actually means) or delete the partition. I'd like to get back to how it was before I installed Ubuntu, IE a C: & S: with no more partitions, preferably without having to re-install Vista. for clarity I've cut and pasted the options for each slice of the drive below the relevant slice

Also, how do I make it so that it lists Vista 32Bit and Vista 64 Bit in my boot options.instead of just Windows Vista twice?

Dec 30, 2008I've tried all the common fixes posted around the net. I get a two minute boot in safe mode and in reg mode with nothing in the startup.

According to the log I have dozens and dozens of drivers that apparently don't load. Here is a sample of the log. I don't enclose the whole log because it is very large. I will if necessary:
