Start Clean Install From BOOT UP OR DESKTOP
Oct 24, 2009Can you load 2 family computers man & wives in one house and the third one (Fathers) in a second house ??
These Computers are all running Vista.
Thats 3 licences total & 3 family members.
I understand these are all Upgrades 3 The question is do the computers have to all be in the same house?
That seems stupid to me but who knows?
Also a clean install to me is loaded from the computer startup is Win 7 doing a clean install from Windows desktop?

Aug 15, 2010I have set up my netbook to hibernate on pressing the power button.
It is my wireless music server & ideally I want it to just boot straight to desktop after turning on (so the SqueezeServer software is running). However it still boots to the login screen (even though I've removed the password).
How can I avoid this & boot straight to the hibernated desktop? This netbook has just been repaired & I'm sure I managed to the previous working incarnation to by pass this login page, but can't remember how !
Windows 7 Wont Boot From Disk On Desktop?
Apr 28, 2012Okay, so the issue I have is that windows 7 wont boot from the disk. It does on my laptop but does not on my desktop. I was forced to re-install windows 2000 because its the only windows I had at home and a downloaded iso was missind the dvd driver and couldnt continue with the install... I waited to borrow another burnt disk from my uncle which works on every computer I try it on accept for the desktop which is the one not working! Ive done the correct boot from disk paths and it just sits at the loading screen but never asks to press any key

May 25, 2011I have win7 on C drive and WinXPsp3 on D drive. Drives are separate. You can see full specs below.
I boot into XP on D fine. I can also boot into Win7 on C fine, but here is the catch. The computer wants to go into a chkdsk if I boot into win7. If I let the computer do this it goes through a very long process and when it comes out of that process it reboots and goes through its normal procedure.
But then when it gets to the very last step, the step where it shows the wallpaper, icons and taskbar, all I get is blank screen.
If I boot into safe mode I can see everything. If I boot into safemode with networking I can see everything. As a matter of fact that is how I am typing this message now.
What do I need to do to get my computer to boot correctly?
Here are my specs:
Desktop:
Drive C: W7 Home Premium 80GB NTFS (IDE)
Drive D: WinXP Pro sp2 80GB NTFS (IDE)

Unable To Install Windows 7 In Desktop?
Jun 14, 2011i have a problem in my desktop computer. here are my system requirements
processor: intel P IV Dual Core 3GHz
motherboard: Mercury Intel chipset 945
ram: transcend 2gb ddr2
graphics card: Palit GeForce 9400GT (1024 MB DDR2)
Hard disk: Seagate 500GB SATA (brand new)
power supply: Mercury 450W (brand new)
since i had a problem with the hard disc and power supply earlier, i had them replaced..now as i tried a clean install by booting from my dvd, it completed installation of windows but after the first restart it came to a blue screen where a process of "dumping physical memory to disc " reached 100% and the computer crashed.i left it on its own but it crashes again and again at the same blue screen...this is what the blue screen looks like
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to ur computer.If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,restart your computer.(which i did 3 times).If this screen appears,follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space(which i have 50GB).If a driver is identified in the stop message,disable the driver or
check with the manufacturer for driver updates(which i did not get).Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS update(which i installed).Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components,restart your computer,press F8 to select Advanced stratup options,and then select safe mode.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAll Games Hang Briefly Then Recover, Desktop Dual Boot Windows 7 & OSX?
Sep 12, 2012All games I've played recently (both single and multiplayer, whether through Steam, Origin, or standalone, internal or external drive) occasionally freeze up and then recover. It usually lasts only a couple of seconds. Example games:Dragon Age II (singleplayer, through Origin, external drive) League of Legends (multiplayer, internal drive) Raiderz (multiplayer, internal drive) Jade Empire (singleplayer, through Steam, external drive) Skyrim (singleplayer, through Steam, external drive) Dark Souls (multiplayer, through Steam, external drive) I haven't checked every single game on my system, I can try others if that will help diagnose the problem.
My systemMac Pro 2009, dual booting Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit OS with Boot Camp. Problem is with Windows 7 boot. 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon CPU - W3540 @ 2.93.GHz 3.06GHz 8 GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 5870 Some games are on an external drive. There does not seem to be a difference in how often games on internal vs external hang. Things I have already triedEverything on the troubleshooting thread except relating to DirectX 11 (these games aren't using it on my current settings) Everything on this "games hang briefly but periodically" thread Alt-Tab to Resource Monitor after a hang. No strong correlations found. Some spikes in Queue Length, some in CPU, nothing I can identify as obviously related. Reinstalling Windows & games with a fresh Boot Camp partition (When all else fails... no good though.) Upgrading my graphics card (I wanted to do this anyway, hoped it would help... games are a lot prettier, but no dice on the hanging problem) Order of events:No problem for ~3 years of use Installed Dragon Age II, needed to update graphics driver for it to run. At the time I had NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. I did a fresh driver install, initially I thought this might be the reason because it could have cleared out something from Boot Camp's special drivers. DA2 running, is first game to show hanging problem. Mainly happens at start of battle. Noticed next in League of Legends.First attempt at troubleshooting. Updated all drivers, Windows 7 updates, etc. Re-installed Windows in a clean Boot Camp partition, since (as noted) I thought I might have messed up some of BC's drivers. No improvement. Got tired of my overall crappy graphics and got a new graphics card, hoping it would also fix the hang problem. New card: ATI Radeon HD 5870. Games are super pretty! Still hang. Followed all of troubleshooting and hanging thread advice, minus DirectX 11 settings (since not using 11--even DA2 is set to 10). Still no improvement. I know my way around a computer but I'm no expert, and this is over my head. My only remaining theory is that it's something about running on Boot Camp--but it was fine for 3 years.
Remove Multiple Entries In Boot Device List On Hp Desktop Windows 7
Jan 9, 2013When booting system sometimes I hit F9 to select boot device, when I want to boot from dvd or usb. Before you say I can list boot devices in bios I know this, the problem Is UEFI and Legacy my UEFI system is not secure boot and for whatever reason I have to F9 and manually select usb or dvd legacy, some versions of linux will not boot otherwise.
UEFI boot sources:
Windows boot manager
Linux Mint
Linux mint
[Code]....
Over the course of the last year I have dual booted several version of linux, but it seems that linux mint and ubuntu add entries to my UEFI boot sources list...how do I remove them, the list is getting to long, and currently only windows 7 is installed.

Mar 15, 2012Recently my computer started to show signs that the power supply wasn't working properly. Every time it was unplugged and plugged back to the outlet, a light in the back will blink and make a clicking noise. Two days ago it did it again, when I unplugged it and plugged back in. I unplugged everything from the computer and try turn it on, but it didn't work. I checked all the cables inside and everything seemed to be connected properly. I unplugged the main cable from the motherboard and plugged the power supply and light at the back stopped blinking and remain lit. I decided to plug the motherboard cable. After doing that, the computer started but now it won't boot. All fans are running and there are no clicking or beeping sounds.

Slow Boot Into Desktop
Oct 27, 2012I have been noticing a gradual increase in boot time to the desktop - not actually sure when it was relatively normal. However yesterday it took so long to get there ( 5 minutes plus), I though it was not going to boot up. Did eventually get there after a few reboots.
This morning it's still slow but at least I'm getting there. System seems fine once it's up and running. This is what I'm getting;
Black post screen - seems to take a while to initialise USB controllers - around 30 seconds or so. Goes onto Windows splash screen - sits there for around 20 seconds.
Screen then goes black - monitor says "no signal detected" - sits there for around 30 seconds Welcome screen appears with whirring thing in the middle - around 20 seconds
Desktop appears but can take around a minute to fully load. Going into event manager and viewing the ID 100 log shows;

View 4 Replies View RelatedDesktop Shortcuts Disappear After Boot
Dec 29, 2009I have two minor issues with 7. First, I placed several shortcut incons from the Admin folder on my desktop for convenience --ie. Device Mgr, Disk Mgmt, Event Viewer, My Computer, etc. Every time I boot up, only these admin icons disappear. None others are affected.
Secondly, whenever I dbl-click a .VOB file from a DVD folder, the Windows Media Player pops up the size of a 4" square. However, before in Vista it always appeared the size I left it when I logged off last; Vista remembered its size.. Even after re-sizing it, upon launch it starts out small in 7. Why doesn't 7 remember the size? What to do?
Clean Boot To Notebook Via Desktop Over PXE
Jul 21, 2012I have an older Toshiba Tecra A5 notebook which does not have a built-in DVD drive, nor do I have an external DVD drive. BIOS does not support USB boot, but does have a PXE boot option.My desktop is an older Dell model with a working DVD, but no wireless capabilities. Both computers are running activated Win 7 Ultimate X86 and are connected through a wireless access point..Linksys WRT54Gv8: running firmware is micro dd-wrt. Both IP's are dynamic, but almost never change.Objective is to use Ultimate boot CD to completely wipe and re-partion the Tecra via the desktop, where Ultimate boot is located. Unable to employ ADHOC, desktop is not wireless, cannot afford to buy anything new, and I also enjoy a good challenge.I am looking for the most basic method, without using homegroup nonsense etc.

Nov 11, 2011My computer suddenly won't boot after I left it sleeping/hibernating for a few hours. When I came back, I moved the mouse and press the 'esc' button and there was no response. I then decided to do a restart and it shows the windows logo then it shuts down on its own after. I've tried several restarts but it just stuck on this loop every time I do it. I also noticed that the windows logo is not on the center of the screen(it's a bit off to the left). Is this a graphics driver problem? It has been working properly since I installed windows 7 on my machine. I have an ati radeon 4650 HD graphics card.
So far, I've tried booting into safe mood and downloaded the latest catalyst but It failed to install. I also tried system restore from different restore points and failed. I've ran start up repair and it says it wont be able to repair it. (Start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically)
