This is a problem that sometimes crops up with various laptops for reasons I can't understand.
I have ONE laptop where typing input sometimes causes the cursor to jump randomly all over the place. This is UNPREDICTABLE so making typing input such as a Word document totally impossible without looking 100% at the screen.
This behaviour I've seen on a few laptops with various versions of Windows.
However Disabling the Touchpad (I hate those anyway) seems to fix it.
The Generic synaptics touch pad driver seems to work for most laptops I've seen which show this behaviour. Use this driver to disable the touchpad and the problem goes away. There's a 64 bit version too.
I am curently running Windows 7 Build 7127. Then I dowloaded Build 7600 (should be). Tried to install it, there was opytion to upgrade. But, when I click upgrade it said that no possibility for it. means that I shoul install cleanly.
I am having lots of small problems after upgrading from 7100 to 7127. I am using x64 and since the time I have upgraded, the whole machine has become extremely slow.
Earlier it used to be extremely quick in bootup and shutdown etc. Now it takes almost double the time to startup and shutdown. I am using a 256GB SSD and it is making a major difference in speed now.
I am planning to do a fresh install of 7127 x64 but any ideas guys?
Here's my setup, I was dual booting XP and Windows 7 RC1 7100 on two separate partitions and that was going swell.
When I found out 7127 got leaked I decided to use GParted to clear my XP partition and I installed 7127 on that partition. I can still see my files from the RC1 7100 partition but my bootmanager doesn't recognize another operating system on my PC.
I accidentally right clicked on a jpeg that was saved to my desktop and chose "print". Instant blue screen of death. And of course I tried it a few more times and same thing. Is this a known glitch or just my Presario V2000?
I just put together a brand new PC. I used the HDD from my old PC in this one, it has Windows 7 32bit installed on it.I start up the PC, everything sounds fine, I hear one beep, the BIOS screen pops up. Then, I get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen. If I select start windows normally, I see the starting windows screen, then a blue screen pops up with the usual "problem has been detected...shut down to prevent damage" stuff. The technical information it gives me is: Quote :*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80D86A58, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I've been using seven (32bit version) for quite a while now on my laptop ( MSI GX710PX - amd turion64 x2, ati hd2600 (512MB), 250 GB,2 gigs of ram). The first installation did the problem mentioned in the title of the topic after i installed Kerio personal firewall - i didn't know what to do, so i just reinstalled windows.
But now it happened again:
The comp was running for 3 days, i turned it off @ around 2:00 am, then turned it on at 8:00 am - for the first time i could login, and i even see the taskbar and the background, but the icons never showed, i couldn't click anything on the taskbar either, ctrl+alt+del did nothing, so i had to restart it manually.
The login screen showed up, i entered my password, but it never made it to the desktop, it just got stuck like that, the HDD wasn't spinning or anything - restart - in safe mode it boots up normally , so i uninstalled a few recently installed programs ( mkvtoolnix and alike ), but after restarting it got stuck at the login screen again.
Now normally i would just reinstall windows, but after two months it has too many programs - lot of time to install them again
So i thought i'll ask here for help! The notebook has XP as it's main OS, seven is installed on a virtual harddrive (30gigs).
If you really dislike the pale blue logon screen with that ridiculous "Peace Dove" (ZAP it someone) please then GOOD news.
Stardocks LOGONSTUDIO works on both X-86 and x-64 versions of Windows 7 including build 7057 (which is the one with the hideous Dove on it and the pale blue insipid colour).
Whilst the supplied screens aren't very adventurous you can download others or "Roll your Own".
Maybe we should have a competition here -- It's a bit difficult to post the image as one hasn't logged in yet --so you can't capture the screen.
I might have a go by using a VM and then capturing the Virtual Machine image from the Host OS.
i've finally got the system up and running.lm using the same gfx card as l used to the Radeon 4650 HD after installing the cards drivers it seems to cause issues where the monitor gives me an "unsupported" resolution error when on my previous setup said card had no trouble going to 1350*768 (cant seem to go above 1024*768 without having to roll back drivers)
Got a new home build Core I5 3rd gen at 4.4GB 8gb RAM, 120 SSD with the OS, 2GB HDD for anything else, ATI 7970. Win 7 home 64 bit. When I play games, I can play for a while, then I get Game name has stopped working, or a BSOD?
I'm installing Windows 7 Beta x64 Build 7600 with a 4.7GB DVD but once it gets to the 'finishing installation' part it seemingly reboots (I think?) to continue with the install but the thing is at this point in time for me the screen goes blank and all I see is the cursor which I can move around. If I power it off and then turn it back on the loading screen comes up but when I get to the log on screen the same thing happens again.
The exact same thing happens to me with Vista. I installed it like three times (the difference is on Vista it gets past the install but still won't get past the logon screen so I can never shut down, restarting is fine though for some reason) and I'm being forced to roll back to 64-bit XP which to be honest I really don't want. So far I've detected that it's not the DVDs. It might be the RAM but I replaced both temporarily and that didn't work either.
My current system was upgraded to windows 7 32bit from vista 32bit (I bought the windows 7 home premium upgrade disc when it was first released). I am going to build a complete new system. Can I install windows 7 64bit from the same windows 7 disc? Or do I have to buy a new windows 7 disc? Is there a way around buying a whole new disc?
I am currently running OS 7 Beta RC Build 7100. Were do I get this newer version, is there a big difference? And am I able to upgrade to the newer Beta?
I realize that October is fast approaching for the RTM but I plan to keep running the Beta for a couple of months past the Grand Opening.
Is it possible that all the updates that I have received equally add up to the newer build?
one day it suddenly crashed while i was watching a movie. it displayed random patterns on screen. kinda like part of the image from the video is on the screen then a black strip and random colors. I restarted the unit to safe mode and left it on and browsed the net and downloaded some big files for how many hours and nothing happened.. there are also times when windows is still loading with the windows logo on screen, it crashes. there are also times when the login screen is displayed and it crashes. it just crashes randomly! so i tried to reformat it. i deleted the partitions and created a new one, formatted it then fresh installed windows 7 ( my previous OS is windows 7 by the way) and started installing the basic drivers and after a few hours, it crashed again...thinking that the driver installed might not be compatible, i tried another fresh install of windows (same execution, delete partition, create, install OS) and this time, without installing the drivers, it crashed again after a few hours... sometimes it crashes immediately after turning it on from cold start!
From last two days my laptop is not working whenever I turn on my laptop it show me the messege of setup repair automatecally then it start processing and after few min it show me finish option and when I click on finish it shutdown automatecally this happens again and again. If I try to start on safe mode I can't it againg start that process again.
I've got a Panasonic Toughbook CF-F8 and there is a bug in my screen! It has been wondering across around hapily for about a week or two but it got squashed when I went to try and brush it away this morning...I now have a dead bug in the middle of my screen.
I wondered if anyone knows how if it's possible to take the display apart and clean it?
When I'm on a webpage, my laptop screen keeps jumping up and down. Especially when I'm playing timed games. I have an Asus laptop with intel core i3 and Windows 7. It's highly irritating.
My laptop screen is too bright and hurting my eyes (due to a change in working location). How do I adjust the brilliance?

I just recently replaced my screen on my laptop. The problem is that my laptop isn't recognizing the new screen. My laptop boots up like usual but my screen is black. Whats weird is I can leave my old screen plugged in.until my laptop boots up.then plug in my new screen. which stays on then. I can surf the net as usual. but when I reboot my laptop...its back to a black screen.
My mom's laptop keeps getting a black screen. I googled "black screen laptop" and I found out about the black screen of death, but it doesn't appear to be this as it completely freezes the computer. I have no idea what this could possible be so I'm hoping someone on here has an idea. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite t135d-s1324 if it makes any difference.
My laptop keeps going to a blue screen and then will go quickly to the black screen in which I can start windows in safe mode or start normally. It does this several times a day. Then when windows starts again it get a window stating that windows experienced a unexpected shutdown.
I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 with Windows 7. A couple months back my notebook refused to start up after the Welcome screen. It became stuck on a black screen with the cursor. Safe mode with and without networking also refused to load. We eventually fixed the problem by doing a system restore to the manufacturers settings, but start up has been slower than usual ever since.A few days ago it began to do it again. This time, however, I was able to access safe mode. After restarting several times, I only managed to get my notebook to start up fully after taking out the battery and letting it load up just plugged into the wall. I put the battery back in but I haven't restarted it since in case the problem repeats and the battery removal method doesn't work.
My weimaraner recently pressed something on on the keyboard of my Dell Studio 1737 (Win 7 Ultimate 64bit), and now each time Windows loads it loads with the login screen sidways. I have to change the orientation each time, but how to I reset it?
finally installed it and of course it wont fit on my whole screen, all i see is windows in the middle of my laptop monitor, i went to Sony website to look for drivers, found my video driver, radeon IGP 345m, but it said installation for xp and when i went to install it said "install standard vga driver first".
I have a three year old HP laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) that is misbehaving. It would not boot up recently, and I believe the root was heat related issues. My son likes to use it while setting on his bed - fan gets covered up and the laptop overheats. I added some large rubber feet to the bottom to improve clearance for the fan and that has helped, to a point. The laptop will boot and I can log into my son's account. After 5-10 minutes, the screen goes blank (50% grey scale, neither bright or completely dark). At that point, nothing seems to bring the screen back, so it is unusable and a hard shut down is necessary. I have cleaned it with Malware Bytes in the past and now have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, so I think/hope any virus issues have been resolved. My suspicion is that this is heat related, but exactly what is failing I do not know. Two months ago I replaced the power jack in the laptop and the power supply because of power connection problems. The battery is shot and will not hold a charge, so the laptop can not be used unless it is connected to the power supply. Since I replaced the power supply and jack, the laptop has been functioning okay. It would crash on occasion, but I attributed that to malware. I had to purge the hard drive earlier this year and restore the system because of a malware infestation.
Ive tried all the obvious things, but even on default it's too bright. i have it on the lowest brightness settings and it's still to bright. I really dont want to kill the lcd backlight
My desktop pc upstairs has a screen resolution 1900x1600, my laptop downstairs 1920x1080 (fullHD). When i open a RDP from the laptop to my desktop upstairs the screen is full size on the laptop but the icons and everthink is small, can this be bigger?
