I switched my medion akoya i3 1tb (running windows 7) pc on this morning and up popped startup repair. When it had finished it gave me the option to do a system restore which I tried to do but then I got a message saying
"system restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.
Details: system Restore failed while deleting the following file/directory
D:windowssystem32catroot{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00004FC295EE}Package"
I dont know what to do as I cant get my pc to startup properly
When I try to find Backup and Restore in my computer I fail to find it. I tried to load it using Command Prompt "%SystemRoot%System32control1.exe /name Microsoft.Backupandrestore" and the page shows blank with the note "The page failed to Load" I have Acronis installed on my computer.
I have tried to restore my system to an earlier state to remedy the faulty uninstallation of a speech recognition programme, which tries to reinstall every time I start the computer. System restore restarts the computer but then tells me the restore process failed, once i am back to my desktop. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium and computer is an Acer Aspire laptop. System partition is encrypted using Truecrpyt.
for backups of my main OS (in my signature) I have acronis TIH create a single image full backup daily to a different drive. Weekly a single image backup is created and saved on a different drive. Because my SSDs are in RAID0, every few weeks I make a system image backup using Acronis (outside of the daily and weekly backups), clean/all the SSDs to put everything back to 0 on the drives, then restore my installation. It makes a significant performance increase for sure.This last go around a week ago, I did the usual but could not restore no matter what I did. I bought the new version of acronis, the plus pack, unplugged all the other drives, etc etc etc that acronis told me to do to try to fix the error I was getting restoring any backups.Finally what I did was take an old backup, transfer it over the network to a different computer, bought acronis TIH again (ridiculous) and was able to clone it to a drive, plug the drive back into my main rig, boot acronis from a USB drive and clone that installation to the SSD raid setup. The only problem was, the backup I was able to use was from 7-10. I'm now trying to convert the images which would not restore to VHD to boot from the bootmgr screen of the currently restored (7-10) installation.Every tutorial I see only deals with creating a new .vhd to install windows to and boot.
dell inspiron 570 desktop 2gb ram win 7 avast malwarebytes. best buy demo model bought last october. started having problems a few months ago when downloading Internet videos. it would shut off with no warning. event log showed kernel 41 power issue but no other info. it seemed to happen after every windows update. system restore or booting to last known good configuration helped for a while. now the computer will only stay on for 5 min before it dies. sys restore stopped working. it's unable to extract a copy of the directory so i'm thinking it may be a win 7 reinstall situation. unfortunately i don't remember my admin password so i couldn't access the repair options.
When I try to go to my computer I get an error (explorer.exe - application error. The instruction at 0x774bc5f7 reference memory at 0x48e44c59. The memory could not be read.) I ran my norton 360 scan and malwarebytes scan and no virus/spyware detected. Also I ran memtest to see if my rams were bad and everything seems find. I also try to do a system restore and it fails too.
Basically, my computer fails so start-up sometimes (My motherboard produces a long beeep sound. GPU not running at all, but the rest of the components seems to be running - eg. USB, Ethernet etc).Also, it will sometimes freeze while running some basic programs which are not really RAM or GPU demanding such as web browsers.Finally, BSOD whenever I'm running some graphically intensive games (which theoretically, my computer should be able to handle.I've ran memtest86 for each of my ram and there were no signs of any ram defunct. Therefore, I'm speculating that the problem is either the GPU, CPU or the Motherboard itself. However, I'm not sure which one should I change. I've attached my 3 dump files, all of which seems to point to different sources of error.[CODE]
I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my Medion Akoya model number MD97620.Doing a boot install from the DVD, I get to the Win 7 welcome screen where I am offered the choice to install, repair or more information or something else I can't remember.When I click on install, it comes up saying the CD/DVD driver is missing and asks me to insert disc or memory with appropriate driver to proceed with install.I contacted Medion and they directed me to the appropriate firmware update which included the update and original driver. I put the original driver on a memory stick and restarted the process.Got to the same point and tried to browse to the memory stick but when I do it can't see the driver file and says the stick is empty.Thinking it may be a problem with the memory stick, I went back into Vista and put the graphics drivers on the same stick and started the process again.Again back to the same point, but this time the graphics drivers show on the memory stick, but guess what, no CD/DVD driver still. It is definitely still on the stick.
I have also tried putting the file on a DVD, but it does the same.The CD/DVD drive is a Samsung SN-S083B, the laptop has an Intel Core Duo T6600 with 4GB Ram and is running Vista.When I did a compatibility check before I bought Win 7, it said everything was fine with perhaps a couple of question marks, but the CD/DVD drive had a tick next to it so why is it causing problems? I have noticed other people having problems with Win 7 once installed with the same brand CD/DVD, but their problems seem slightly different to mine. I can't even install my OS.
I have a new Medion PC with Windows 7.I need to access safe mode. On boot i get the option to press f8 for boot options which gives me exactly that. A list of boot devices and nothing else.Also, is the option to press f11 for recovery which i didn't try as i'm not sure what would happen.Also, how do i enter the Bios menus if i need it in the future.My Vista PC was so easy where this was concerned.
I was attemping to restore my computer back to previous days and as it was retrieving the data and processing, I got anxious and turned it off during the restoring before it finished and when I attemped to turn the power back on, only the "starting windows" and "gateway" logos flash on and off but no start up process. Please help, I know I screwed up, but I've already tried the SAFE MODE, SAFE MODE in networking, and the "last configuration" attemps and none of them rectify the problem.
I recently built a new computer and on occasion when I turn the computer on, I'll get a blue screen saying windows failed to load type thing, and then it restarts and i have to recover. Now the weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time It more often than not doesn't work, but still there will be times where it works all day. I can't figure out why it works sometimes and not others. I don't do anything different, just facebook and Star Wars the Old Republic, so I don't think its a program which is causing the issue. Anyway here are my comp specs and the problem details:
Intel i5 2500 3.30GHz Gigabyte GTX560OC C/Master Extreme 700W WD 1TB Black Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 LG DWDRW 8GB of RAM

My Dell Studio 17 shut down yesterday after sitting idle. Now i cannot boot windows. I get this endless loop that ultimately leads me to startup repair which either hangs or errors out. Attempting to start in safe mode takes me to same place.I know the root of the problem is bsod as I see it flash when attempting to load windows.I was able to launch system restore tool from advanced options (f8) but after selecting restore point the cpu seems to hang after over an hour of Initalizing.I can bring up command prompt by the way.
I have one program in the start menu that will not start , I have to start it manually when I re-start win 7 . Ideas ? I did have a program to give programs admin permissions so they would start automatically but can't seem to find it ..
i have an acer and it was working fine and when i turn it on it starts to load up as normal an then it goes to this black screen an at the top it say window error recorvery an then goes on saying windows failed to start. recent hardware or software change might be the cause. if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly. startup repair can help daignose and fix problem. if pawer was interrupted during startup choose start wundows normally. then it offer the option to launch startup repair or start window as normally i tried both option an it just goes right back to this screen an i cant figure out whats wrong college student?
Computer crashes for no reason then fails to start. I get half of the post screen which says 1 Keyboard 2 Mice 1Hub then nothing? It should show all the HDD installed next but nothing shows. The only way of getting the computer to boot after this is to disconnect SSD from the motherboard? Any Ideas guys and gals...
I downloaded the demo of Race Driver - Grid from the Codemaster's web-site. While it installed and lets me create a profile, to start the game it states "Loading", with no hard-disk activity and just stops at that point. Leaving it for 10 minutes results in nothing happening. Anyone else experience this?
This happened to me a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to resolve it since, so I'm turning here for assistance. One fine evening, I come home and notice that my computer is giving me an error message:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the problem.
I am then told to insert my installation CD, reboot, and follow some steps. There is one problem: I do not have an installation CD. I upgraded my erratic copy of Windows Vista to 7 (Premium 32bit I believe) last year as part of the $30 upgrade for students program, and did so online. I tried using friends' installation disks of various editions to no avail, and when I boot directly from the disks it either gives me the option to reinstall or gives me the same error message (0xc0000001, BootBCD). I tried to track down my purchase information, but the email address I used to make the purchase no longer exists and my online banking service doesn't keep records past 6 months (I made the upgrade roughly a year ago). My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I have to reinstall and lose all my data, is there a problem with the computer itself (this is not the first OS to be bucked off, it rejected Vista last May), or can I get what I need to run a system repair somehow?
Edit: Forgot to mention, the only software change I have made in the last few weeks is uninstalling Firefox and installing Chrome, and I don't think that would be the issue.
Lately my welcome screen became very slow, it takes 3-4 minutes to load and then a black screen with a mouse cursor comes up for 30 seconds then the actual windows come, when windows start the network icon has a red cross on it and says not connected - no connections available but the internet is just fine, and it says failed to load windows service. Is that a virus? i scanned with AVG 2012 and Malware bytes and problem is still there .
I have a program running that automatically syncs some of my data online. It is running on a computer with Windows 7 Pro as well as a Windows Server 2003 that I use as for file storage. Unfortunately it does not startup until I log into a profile, but since I don't really use these computers, sometimes this doesn't happen for days on end. I decided to create it as a service (used the sc.exe utility - sc create DataBackup binPath= "C:Program FilesData Deposit Boxackup.exe" DisplayName= "Kineticd Backup" start=auto). The service was created successfully, but when I try to start the service, I get the following error.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
1) On Lock: Execute the following batch: Code: TASKKILL /F /IM "pnamain.exe"
TASKKILL /F /IM "Receiver.exe TASKKILL /F /IM "WFICA32.EXE" This kills the open Citrix session and shuts down all citrix programs.
2) On Unlock: Reconnect the Citrix Session and open all programs via this batch: Code: start "" "C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnamain.exe" /connect start "" "C:Program FilesCitrixICA ClientReceiverReceiver.exe" If i execute the 2 batch-files manually, everything works perfect. If they are run via the scheduled tasks, the locking works perfectly, but the unlocking behaves as following: pnamain.exe is started Receiver.exe is NOT started EDIT: The task is marked as 'finished without problems' I tried to execute this task with different settings... same problem all the time The Task is executed with the Admin-Account, so this should not be the problem.
On July 12th 2012, my computer installed updates. After rebooting and waiting for me on the login screen, I gave it a hard shutdown to check on the BIOS settings (for a little side project, in the end I did not save any changes). After booting and logging in again, I find that many services are not running. I ran a very thorough check for malware and viruses (took over 24 hours to complete), and still no solutions. I have uninstalled/reinstalled my Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Driver several times.
I now look in the Event Viewer and find that the DHCP Client service is not running! It is set to automatic start in Services.msc, but when I try to manually start it, it gives me error 1075 (some dependencies do not exist or are marked for deletion). Running ipconfig, I notice that my system is using an APIPA-formatted address (169.254.x.x), indicating that the computer couldn't find a DHCP server.
My Event Viewer is peppered with: Event 7003, Service Control Manager The DHCP Client service depends the following service: Afd. This service might not be installed. Event 7001, Service Control Manager The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service depends on the DHCP CLient service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependcy service does not exist or has been marekd for deletion.
And that keeps repeating many times in a minute (about 30-40 cycles of it).
After rebooting my system, it recommended that i do a start up repair. After the repair completed i recieved the black screen right before choosing USER , so i tried 3x more to repair which each completed but same outcome till the point it just says cant repair automatically . Then i tried to system restore which failed also , but the catch is my system boots fine from Safe Mode.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a gigabyte ga-x58a-ud3r
A few weeks ago, I shut down my PC completely for a regular cleaning. I do a regular cleaning once a month, this was the first time I had an issue.
After I finished, I powered up the machine, and Windows would continually fail to start - rebooting at some point while the Logo load screen was up.
After several Google searches, I tried pretty much everything I could think of or advice i came across - Nothing worked. I could not boot from the Win7 Disk, System Repair did not work, advanced boot options did not work, etc. At this point I thought the HDD might be bad (WD Caviar Black 1 TB).
So I went and purchased a new HDD, the same model actually as it was on sale. Windows installed fine, everything got up and running with no issue.
I then took my HDD which I had believed had failed and plugged it into a Thermaltake BlacX Docking station and I was able to locate the drive in the device manager after scanning for new hardware.
I actually was able to go into the hard drive and recover the few bits of data I hadn't backed up (mostly gaming files). The HDD was completely fine. Fast forward a few weeks, and feel free to laugh at me here - I'm in the exact same situation with the new HDD once again after cleaning my PC case.
So, I'm not sure what is happening. I've rebooted the PC many times without issue but today was the first time that I fully powered down the PC to do a cleaning.
I suspect something is causing Windows to fail to recognize the HDD itself, but honestly this is way beyond my knowledge how to fix. I took a risk and I removed the sata cable from the "GSata" slot on the motherboard and put it into one of the standard ICHR10 - to no effect.
I've once again exhausted every option I actually know how to safely do, advanced boot options, repair attempt from Win7 Disk, etc. Nothing is working. I'm debating running out yet again and grabbing a cheap HDD just to get myself up and running again, but I thought I'd turn to Tom's Hardware first for some ideas - and because I don't want to be going through this issue everytime I want to give the PC case a good cleaning.
My lenovo G560 laptop fails to start. Its showing one message. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. But I don't have disc..
my laptop dell inspirion windows 7 n5110 64bit is not starting..when i am switching on it repeatedly showing dell logo and not moving to the windows page.
I had only one account name anju that was created when I first time started my laptop and this account had admin rights. Yesterday my son created his account test1 and gave admin rights to his account while he was logged in using my account. He also removed admin rights from my account. Now my windows are not starting, not even in the safe mode. When I try to start my computer it give me the option to repair computer. The repair fails and it gives the option for advance recovery, When I choose this option it ask to login. If I choose my account, it does not give option other than repair and it does not work. If I login using my son's account test1 which is now admin, it give the option to restore and dos prompt. If I take restore it says no restore points found. I'm thinking because as my sons account test1 is recently changed to admin, that is why its not finding any restore points. May be the restore points are created under the original admin account which was anju. So I want to assign admin rights to my account anju using dos prompt because windows don't start even in the safe mode.
Problem: This morning I had a brief 1 second power outage while I was using my computer which forced it to shutdown. It just stood there shutting down for about 15 minutes when i decided to click force shutdown. After restarting, computer ran checkdisk and startuip repair because windows was not loading.
Issues; I ran chkdsk a couple times, lots of bad sectors./index files repairing recovering, but it ends up hanging at stage 4 at a certain spot. I left it running at that spot for over 5 hours and just stood there(I went to sleep and woke up at same spot). I booted with windows 7 cd and tried startup repair, the first 3 times it said it couldnt repair. It only showed 2 restore points available and both gave error messages saying they couldnt load. I ran a checkdsk /r again and was fixing a lot of stuff and hung at same spot again. Tried another startup repair, this time it said it worked but still the same problem, windows isnt loading. However, I am able to get to the login screen now after waiting about 10 minutes at the windows logo however my kieyboard/mouse functionaility seems to be gone so i cant even type my password to login at that point. I ran a diagnostic in the boot menu, when checking the harddrive it gave me an error. Ive tried booting to every option available, safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt etc, nothing works. It brings me to logon screen after a long time but keyboard./mouse dont work at that point. Now, like i said i dont want to reformat my computer and lose all my files. My keyboard/mouse work with the windows 7 bootup cd doing those menus but not when it gets to logon screen booting the normal way. I was thinking of buying an external drive and installing windows on there and booting from there but im not sure if my computer would recognize it since it wont recognize my keyboard and mouse at login screen.
I am using a Lenovo Y450 Ideapad. When I turned on my laptop one morning, windows 7 refused to start up. After starting off with the initial Lenovo start up screen, a second screen of 'Loading Files' appears. It then goes into Startup Repair. After attempting to repair, a message appears stating that Startup cannot repair this computer automatically. It cannot repair and the only solution is to restart the system and the same cycle repeats. I have read some comments about using F8 and F2 but there are also no restore points (which is surprising) or any image points. I have important data and I usually back it up but havent done so in the last couple of weeks due to work. I am hoping that I can at least get the data out. Also, I do have a Windows 7 CD.
I cannot seem to start the Backup program provided with Windows 7.I go to Control Panel and click on "Backup up your Computer" and nothing happens. What do I have to do to start the Windows 7 Backup program?
