Blank Screen of Windows 7 after complete successful installation
I installed Windows 7 on my latest iMac using the SD card method without a hitch.
After installing the bootcamp drivers via windows the mac restarted to complete the installation but after the initial white boot up screen, the screen remains black.
I had previously installed parallels and started experiencing this problem after uninstalling it. So I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 7 but the problem still remains.
Kindly help me out in this regard.
Thank you.
Me too - just sits there - no signs of life. No solutions I've found in the forums either

How to re-activate 'Mail' after complete successful Time machine re-installation except 'Mail' backup keeps getting stuck?
Trying to re-instal my email history the 'Mail Message Import' dialogue screen says: 'Mail needs to import your messages. This might take a few minutes. You won't be able to use Mail until the import is finished'.
The problem is: after importing 5,000 messages it stops and the 'Time remaining' only keeps adding up to many hours (17 hours). There are almost 80,000 email messages in my Time machine backup.
How to get this working? I am even prepared to give up my email history if i can only get my 'Mail' application working again. -
I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer? I was using Explorer 11 and Windows 7, installed on an HP Pavilion g series
Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

Scheduling of Concurrent Program stops after completed successful.
Hi
I need to create a check or procedure to create a alarm, which helps in checking the scheduling of all those concurrent programs whose scheduling has been stopped after completing successful. There has been lot of occurrences in our environment that led to programs not running for next run.
AviralIf you have a trace, then just post the tkprof output here (put the tag before and after it).
Hopefully you've traced the session with WAIT EVENTS, so we can see where much time is being spent.
If not, I suggest you first trace the session again with WAIT EVENTS. -
"Windows could not complete the installation"
I took delivery of a new T400 today. Imagine my surprise upon turning it on to see the Windows F8 recovery menu, and a message about the system not having been shut down cleanly. Strange thing on a machine straight from the facory !
Well anyway I let it boot into the normal mode. Next the OS booted and something obviously ran to install updates. I suspect that one of these failed. Eventually I was presented with a dialog that says "Windows could not complete the installation" and "To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". Sadly this same dialog displays regardless of how many times I reboot.
Reading the scanty doc that came with the machine, it appears to have a recovery partition and a way to invoke a factory restore from the partition. Unfortunately entering recovery mode does not work (I press F11 and it goes ahead and boots into Vista anyway).
Next I tried calling Lenovo. They politely said that they are not working at this hour and I should call back in the morning. Well I am planning to take this new laptop on a business trip in the morning and won't have time to call before I have to be at the airport.
So back to self-diagnosis...I found that when in the 'All your install are belong to us' mode, I could press ctl-alt-del and get task manager up. From there I could run commands such as cmd.exe and msconfig. Using msconfig I opened the event viewer. Nothing too interesting in there, except that a service or driver called tuvu...somethign didn't start.
Another thing I found is that there is no way any longer to get to the F8 safe mode menu on boot. It just blips on the screen for a nanosecond and then it's gone (even if you have pressed F8). So I used msconfig to boot into safe mode. That didn't help.
I've always bought cheapo off-brand laptops from Costco, and this was my first 'premium brand' purchase. To say the least I am not impressed. Surely Lenovo can spare 10 minutes to ensure that each machine actually boots before they ship ??
Any pointers on how to fix this machine are most welcome.
UPDATE : I made some progress on my own. On a whim I decided to go looking for the process that had so rudely decided that I couldn't use my computer. Browsing the process list in taskman, I noticed something called 'runonce.exe'. So I did the obvious thing and killed it. Bingo ! I now have the vista desktop and the machine appears to be working just fine. It's now updating. Presumably I can find and disable this thing that used the runonce wrapper and I'll be good to go,.
Message Edited by dboreham on 09-08-2008 09:58 PMI had this same problem on my T61 and after seeing yoru post I imaged my system successfully to get rid of the problem on my system. You can image it without making burning any discs. What I did was hit the Thinkvantage button during boot, chose the Restor System option, chose full factory reset, chose to delete all my files and then chose the custom option for recovery. I don't remember exactly which items I unchecked, but there were a few towards the end that had OOBE in the name. I let it complete the restore and it seems to be working fine now. So you might want to try doing it that way, I was hoping that one of the things I unchecked was whatever was causing the system to crash near the end of install and mess up the Vista installation.
Good luck! Hopefully this will work for you instead of just wasting like 3 hours... -
"Windows Could Not Complete the Installation" G410
Hi,
Would greatly appreciate any advice for this.
My laptop (G410) first started having temporary freezing issues when I loaded up Powerpoint. Next thing i know, the laptop dies and whenever I turned it on, it kept getting stuck in the Lenovo loading screen.
After a while, I managed to activate the refresh but now I am stuck with the following message: "Windows could not complete the installation". This happens when the setting up a few more things screen reaches 3%.
Any solutions to this? The laptop is only a few months old.
Thanks!hi cny1491,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try to turn off the computer and press the OneKey Recovery Button. When done, the machine will turn on and will give you a menu. On the list of options, select System Recovery to restore the system to its factory state (note that all data will be wiped on the OS partition).
If the machine freezes during the recovery process then I recommend you contact lenovo and report the issue as there's definitely a malfunctioning component inside (possibly the HDD).

Windows could not complete the installation recovery error message with HP recovery discs
While doing a system recovery on an HP G72-b50US notebook using HP purchased recovery DVD's, the reboot "Welcome" screen always (tried 5 recovery attempts from scratch) generates the error message "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation". any attempt at a reboot, even into safe mode, regenerates this same error message. How does this get fixed to allow completion of the installation process?
I wish I could tell you.
I also used the HP factory recovery disks on an 8200 Elite CMT. I used them once before with no problem.
The second time was a show-stopper. The recovery process would ask for all 4 disks, then the recovery installation would begin, reboot continue on, everything normal.
Then on the last reboot, when the recovery program stated it was configuring windows, it just quit and stated Windows could not complete the installation.
I made sure that I had absolutely nothing connected to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
The only thing I can possibly think of was that I installed a Radeon HD 6570 video card which I replaced the Radeon HD 6350 card with. However, both cards are supported in the PC, and I cannot remember if I did the restore with the 6350 the last time or the 6570.
Now, the reason the ISO file will work is because this is a plain and simple Microsoft Windows 7 ISO file--the very same one that you download when you purchase W7 online from the very same download site.
It is not PC-specific and will install on any PC in the world.
A recovery disk is PC-specific, and is a very complicated mish-mash of programs, drivers, operating system, all customized for your specific model PC. Even something like installing a new hard drive or memory can foul up the works.
The downside of using the plain MS disk is the only programs and drivers you can install are the ones found on your notebook's support and driver page.
The upside of using the plain W7 installation, is you normally end up with a better performing PC, free of bloatware and unnecessary running processes.
For someone like me, it is a non-issue, but for others, they may miss some of the included software.
But that is better than having a computer that is of no value with no operating system installed, wouldn't you agree?

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanksHi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
Thanks -
System Recovery hangs on "Windows could not complete the installation"
Just purchased the recovery media from HP (3 DVD + App/Driver DVD, see below), followed instructions on clean recovery and the install hangs at first Windows login with the following error:
"Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation"
Well, I've started fresh 3 times now with the same results. (3 hours each time)
I was able to start task manager at this error, I even tried to hold down shift and click restart. Doing that, I get the message windows can't be installed in safe mode. I was thinking of doing a plain Windows install but there is no product key on the laptop
Thoughts?
-DavidProblem resolved. Make sure you use the boot from DVD UEFI option.

Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows...
I have a G62-340US that had a hard drive crash. I installed a new hard drive and used the HP Restore Disks. The laptop will go through the boot process and Windows will give a message" Setting up system for first time use" or something to that affect. A diolog box then comes up and says "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." If I hit enter, I am caught in a loop. I can control-alt-del and kill audit.exe and bring up the system. However, everytime I reboot, I get the above error.
The system is running Win7 64 bit.
Any ideas on how to complete this installation and move forward?
Also, the HDD is 320 gb but the system is only recognizing 68 gb.
Thanks for your assistance!Hi:
That happened to me too and I tried twice to get the disks to work and the failure occurred at the same place.
If you bought a new hard drive of at least the same size in GB as the old one, the disks should have worked.
There is no telling why they don't and many folks have issues with the recovery disks for one reason or another.
Fortunately there is a method you can use to get W7 back on your PC if you can read the full 25 character windows product key on the bottom of your PC.
Here's what you can do...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.This is not what happens. The screen goes black, no curser or anything, then it comes right back on to the same page I was on when it went out. It doesn't happen when I login, it happens as I am on a webpage or playing a online game.

Blank Screen For Several Hours After Box Trying To...
Just an FYI, that my BT Vision+ box started to upgrade itself on Thursday the 19th (today is Sat the 21st). After several automatic reboots, and update / dowloading software screens, it would always just reach a blank screen and get no futher.
Occasionally, along the way there would be a VDR016 error code (can't find a link to that error code), the screen told me it's a network error. The error would always right itself by "successfully downloading and installing the software". Anyway, it would always lead (eventually) to a blank screen.
Over the next 36 hours, I followed the first 2 solutions in the following thread a couple of times: BT Vision Box Reset Process. to no avail. So I ended up on solution 3, the factory reset.
Thankfully, it worked, but as expected, all my recordings have been wiped (including programs for my young children no longer available on catch-up).
I really think that because these boxes are more flaky than Microsoft Windows (sudden reboots every now and again and now this), there should be some way of backing up recordings, either online on BT servers, or "offline", e.g. on a local network.
Btw, 30 mins after completing full reset, the EPG still only showed the next hours TV. It took a bit of time for the EPG data to download, but it did.Try closing unused applications that you have running in the background.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Touch the desired service.
Touch Stop.
Try deleting old messages that you no longer need, to clear phone memory.
If you are using a task manager or application manager, try setting it to high to close applications.

Bootcamp 5.0 installation: Blank Screen with blinking cursor after restart
I have a late 2011 mbp with 16gb ram, 2 750gb hard drives. I'm trying to install bootcamp on the 2nd hard drive. I'm using the cd drive in an external usb housing to install windows 7 ISO burn. I've used this cd several times in the past with no issues. After creating the partition with bootcamp assistant, my mac restarts automatically then when it boots, it goes to a blank black screen with a blinking cursor. I have restarted and repeated this process several times, as well as let it set there for about 1 hour and still nothing...I've also tried sudo ram reset and command option p r but still nothing.
Anyone have any idea what's wrong?Ok guys, for those of you who are having the same problem...here are the instructions on how to get past the blank screen and install windows 7 bootcamp with TWO hard drives installed.
1. With both hard drives installed, start the bootcamp assistant (you need a usb optical drive with windows dvd inserted to do this). Partition your SECOND hard drive for windows.
2. When your computer restarts and your at the blank screen with the blinking cursor of doom, manually shut down your computer.
3. Remove both hard drives from your MBP. Put the "Bootcamp" partitioned hard drive in the main HD bay. MAC OS DOES NOT NEED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE "BOOTCAMP" HD TO DO THIS.
4. Install your optical drive back into its factory place. (Where the "BOOTCAMP" HD was just installed at)
5. Power back up your MBP while holding the alt/option key down. Make sure the windows DVD is still in the optical drive!
6. Click on windows cd to boot from.
7. Start installing.
8. When finished, replace optical drive with "BOOTCAMP" HD and put MAC OS HD back in like it was before this process.
9. Your finished.
10. Now enjoy! -

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi ausrius517,
Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your device.
Have you tried performing the following resets to see if it will solve your issue:
Soft Reset - this will not delete and data off your device.
Enter *#7780# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)
If there are not too much data on your device and you have made a backup, you can go for the hard reset option below.
Hard Reset - this will wipe all data off your device, so a backup is recommeded before doing this.
Enter *#7370# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)

Unable to login to apex as admin after apparent successful installation
I am unable to login to apex as admin after an apparent successful installation.
I have an existing Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0 with Oracle Text running on Windows 7 Professional with hundreds of gigabytes of free disk space available. I did everything as an operating system user with administrator privileges. I downloaded the latest version of apex 4.0.2 for all languages, unzipped the downloaded zip file, extracting all files to an apex directory. I changed the working directory to apex and started sql*plus, connected sys as sysdba, ran apexins.sql installation, apex_epg_config.sql and apexconf.sql configuration, apexchpwd.sql to change the admin password, and apxldimg.sql to copy the images, and exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8080), unlocked accounts, and granted connect privileges.
The installation log did not show any errors and included:
"Thank you for installing Oracle Application Express.
Oracle Application Express is installed in the APEX_040000 schema.
The structure of the link to the Application Express administration services is as follows:
http://host:port/pls/apex/apex_admin (Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql)

When I use either browser, Firefox 3.6.12 or Internet Explorer 8.0, and go to http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin I get a screen that says:
"Enter Application Express internal administration credentials"
and has boxes for a username and password. When I enter admin and the admin_password that I selected, then click on login nothing happens. I don't get logged in. I don't get an error message. It does not show any signs of anything running. It just sits there. I also don't get any messages from Windows or Norton 360 indicating that a pop-up window was blocked or any such thing. I checked that the services are running and also tried shutting down the computer and re-starting (cold boot), but was still unable to login.
I am a retired developer, not a DBA, so if there is anything else that I should do or check or provide, then please let me know. I have provided a copy and paste of everything that I could think of below. Oddly I don't see an admin user.

In above case that is then c:\temp .
