I've recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit). Now the problem is the "Starting Windows" didn't change, it is still from the 7 starter (the vista like), it didn't change into a something spherical. Is it really like that if you installed windows 7 ultimate from starter?
View 4 RepliesI have a home build pc msi mother board p45 neo, 2gb corsair ram, nvida geforce 9800, wd 400 hd & WD 160. After I shut down and restarted PC it states windows is staring but never loads.I tried to go in safe mode trying all their options but nothing happens, I can not go into safe mode.I also tried booting from the cd but still it will not load.
I have search several internet boards and have tried everything, so while searching the boards from another computer it finally went into the option for sytem restore or repair I hit system repair and it ran thru a few things and i neglected to copy down the results but i believe it said something about boot config error. hit repair I hit repair and it said to click finish and restart still nothing.
After i press any key to reboot from DVD, the windows is loading. But when it reach to the screen where we suppose to select language, currency & time format and keyboard layout, the screen become stuck. Mouse cursor doesn't appear and keyboard also not available to use.

The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed poweriso and magicdisc on my computer then I rebooted but windows started to hang at shutdown so I just forced a shutdown, now windows is hanging up upon restart and the same happens for safe mode. I'm thinking the problem might be magicdisc cause it said drivers were not found and safe mode was hanging around the loading drivers part or that I made a virtual drive.
Also I'm attempting to do a system repair via windows disc
Edit: Windows repair just finished and the problem signature was
Problem event name: startuprepairoffline
Problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385

i have a problem with its starting,it has been installed properly and works perfect when there is windows cd in its cd rom,otherwise it does not start and says operating system not found.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop and I cannot get it to start. When I go into start-up mode (Esc key at start-up) I have two options:
Start-up Repair (Recommend)
Normal Start-up
When I do Normal Start-up, it lockes up on the Windows Screen. When I do Start-up Repair it locks up on a black screen.I don't have the back-up discs that were created for this specific computer at the moment (they are at another location at the moment). However I do have Windows 7 upgrade discs here from another computer.
It started with me interrupting a startup forcefully (which I now regret badly), then "i restarted it, but it gave me the information;"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause". I was given the option to either 'Launch startup repair' or 'Start windows normally'...If I select 'Launch startup repair', it leads me to a blank screen with a cursor then stays there until forever, if i select 'Start windows normally', it leads me to the Microsoft logo/'Starting windows' and just stays there for a while until it restarts." However, after the microsoft logo, I can see the screen changing for a split second, I can't see what it shows clearly a blue screen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 (x64)/(x86) on my PC a while back without any problems at all. Now lately, when I start the computer up for the first time, it just wont start. Turn my monitor on and it says "No signal". I can only get the computer to boot up when i do several restart button pushes,So I figured it might be the video card drivers that are problematic and I installed the newest ones that I found from the official site(my graphics card is an XFX 9800GT). It didn't help, maybe relieved the problem a bit but I haven't really noticed it. I've opened the computer case up and tryed to push the Graphics card into the PCi slot further,is this a hardware or a software problem? :S I tryed searching for fixes for this but I got bored of searching too fast so I made this thread I'd like to get a quick fix, it's taking me 5-15 minutes to start up the computer every time, it's bad when I might be in a hurry someday
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I start windows 7 home premium 64, just before the Starting Windows screen comes on some text flashes and I can't read it. What is that and how can I see what it says, I tried some of the F1, F2 buttons but not all. I might have tried F1 but I could have hit F2 instead so I could be wrong F8 was not a solution.

My old HDD was fried so I decided to use my External HDD to boot off. Afterreformatting the drive I have installed it into my laptop and have attempted to install Windows 7 64bit and its all going great until after the starting windows screen and then it just turns black with the cursor. What I have tried so far....- I have reset the BIOS to defalt-Cleared the CMOS- Checked the RAM (even left 1 2gig stick in and tried that?)
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery time I start my computer it scans the hard drive before starting and takes 10-20 minutes, this has happened since it crashed yesterday, I think it is a problem with missing files.
How do I fix the files that cause the problem and cause it to need to do a scan?
I have scanned using the scan before startup and the windows scan (the one that requires restart)
if I try to boot it normally it gets blue screen and dies. The same thing happends if I use fail safe. (crashed at crcdisk)So I thought idd reinstall it. However when i boot up from my windows cd, I only get the 2 possibilities to "setup and recovery". No matter which of those I choose it goes to "loading files" and then to "starting windows".I've reinstalled quite a few computers, with xp and windows 7, and I've never had any trouble doing so. So i thought idd try to take out the hdd manually, but I realised I dont have the cables to connect it to my other pc, and clean the hdd that way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had just put this build together and occasionally when I boot up the computer, it would freeze at "Starting Windows" screen and will not go anywhere else until I hard shutdown the computer and boot it back up and hope it doesn't get stuck again.I reinstalled Windows 7 thinking it's the new SSD I bought but the problem still occurs, I also ran CHKDSK again and no errors have shown up.I haven't ran a memory test program yet to check my RAM but I don't think that is the issue since I do not get BSOD of any kind.I also have another problem that rarely occurs and only happens when watching you tube videos, the screen completely friezes and artifacts show up as if the video card is broken but I never have such problems while playing video games such as BF3 and Starcraft II.Anyhow, I have searched Tomshardware and the web but still cannot find a solution to this and I hope you guys can help me find what the problem is.I'm beginning to question my RAM, Motherboard, or SSD at this moment.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new asus laptop and some of my programs aren't compatible with windows 8. So i'm trying to downgrade to windows 7 because i never liked w8 in the first place. So when i boot from CD (64-bit windows 7 ultimate) it will install without any problems, but when it gets to the 'starting windows' screen the animation freezes and it just stays there.
View 49 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot up Windows 7 it gets to the "Starting Windows" screen which includes the Windows Logo with some animation. Once there it just hangs for about 5 minutes, then starts normally.I have Home Premium, 64 Bit, Dell XPS, Intel i7, 6BG of memory. I have several peripherals connected directly to it: Display, USB External Drive, Webcam, Bluetooth adapter.I tested booting in Safe Mode and it was very fast with no delay.I don't restart Windows 7 often so not 100% sure of when this really began. After the install booting up was very very fast. So this happened over the last month or so.The only hardware item I would mention is a Realtek card/usb reader which is built in to my unit as part of it. After Win 7 install it did not work at all and it took quite a while including working with Dell to finally track down the appropriate drivers. Now the unit works fine but I believe the problem began around that incident.Prior to uninstall or disabling the item I just wanted to check and see if this problem has been seen and make sure I am not going to do something to simply create a new problem. Also, since it was so difficult to finally get this Card Reader up and running I am concerned about just uninstalling it.
