HP Windows will not start up HELP !!!

I have my HP laptop (Windows Vista 32-bit) since 2 yrs ago, I used to format it myself, then once it failed to recover using Recovery Manager and Windows couldn't start...
I sent it to a foolish PC repairer, he removed recovery partition, he changed the Windows Vista into Windows 7 (64-bit), it was awful... nothing functioned any good...
then I sent it to a good company (not HP Company, cuz I'm from Lebanon and I'm not sure if there's a branch for them in here)
they replaced the BIOS (I think) of my laptop by the BIOS of another laptop (same product), to save time of Installation of Windows and Fixing the whole situation...
however it's Vista 64-bit; recovery partition is back but not protected, drivers are working properly but not as they used to be, but Recovery Manager DOES NOT WORK (32-bit, even after downloading the software Recovery Manager for Vista 64-bit, it couldnt be installed)...
I wanted to fix the TouchPad scroll (Synaptics) by removing its driver, so I restarted the laptop and it won't start up back again... (THIS IS THE PROBLEM)
it says: Windows Fails to Start, in a black screen...
& it says: Insert Windows Installations discs and gives instructions... Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccesible
I have Recovery discs that I made myself but they won't work, I press F11 on start-up and it shows me the same screen as described above
I can't make order any recovery discs cuz I didn't find an option for that, Lebanon was not mentioned in the countries, in which I can order the correct recovery discs)
Any suggestions to have my old laptop things back or at least the new laptop things back?
such as downloading recovery software, and burning it on discs? If so, give some direct links please
I changed order of bootup from HDD to CD/DVD ROM but things didn't work
or perhaps I should send it back to that company... the things in Lebanon are awful...
I know the post is large but please I need HELP !!!
THANKS !

Hi,
This process will allow you to make a Vista Repair Disc. This is not an installation disc but will allow you to use the Vista Recovery Console that is available on retail versions of Vista.
Download the file on the link below. Make sure you download the correct version.
Vista 32 bit
Vista 64 bit
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip, when installed, right click the zipped folder, select Extract Files and then click Ok. You should now see another folder containing the ISO file.
You will need software to burn the ISO to a CD. If you don't have this type on software installed, download and install ImgBurn and use this to burn the ISO to a CD.
Once you have created the Vista Repair Disc, follow the guide on the link below to see if this will repair your installation.

HT4839 the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

Hello.
the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
failed to create an ipc port access is denied
Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
I am using Windows XP SP3
I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
THanks!!

Windows will not start on my NB100

I think my nb100 has become infected with a virus. It was doing some strange virus scan and I could get it to do nothing else. I turned it off and now Windows will not start. I have tried all the option; safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but nothing works. I cannot run the product recovery disk because this netbook does not have a cd drive. Can anyone help?

You can make a bootable usb drive in 2 ways:
1. Manually with command prompts

2 Automatically using programs like WinSetupFromUSB or Novicorp WinToFlash

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

TS1440 Flashing circle prohibition sign, Mac will not start. Help!

Hi there,
I need some guidance can some techie please help me!
My Mac book pro, 10.6 will not start, a flashing prohibition sign and a folder with a question mark appears on my screen.
I have shut down and tried thePRAM start up but nothing. I have snow leopard disk, should I re install. Will I lose all my data?
I recently updated iTunes and a day later my computer crashed. Any help would be appreciated.
Love,
Kind stranger

If your machine was upgraded to OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountian Lion, then DO NOT PROCEED!
The 10.6 disks cannot be used for 10.7 or 10.8, if that's the case, then let me know as a different method is involved.
On the second screen booted from the 10.6 disk, under Utilities menu is Disk Utility.
Select your entire internal boot drive on the left, it should have a name and a size.
Click First Aid > Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
If the drive doesn't appear on the left, it may mean it's dead or there is a broken connection between the drive and the computer.
If Disk Utility says "can't repair, backup and erase and install" then the drive works, it's that it can't repair the file structure, likely because of a failed sector on the drive (may be natural or caused by shock or failing drive)
However you don't have to erase if it says to do so, if the drive works mechanically the data can be recovered.
The drive may work fine if removed from the machine as well if it's not showing up on the left in Disk Utility.
If the drive doesn't work, then the data can be recovered if it wasn't Filevaulted, but the platter dissection required is expensive.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
If the drive is repaired, do it again.
After the drive is repaired, Quit Disk Utiltiy and select Reset Password from the Utilties menu.
Don't change the password if your just repairing user permissions, instead select the drive at top and the account your having issues with.
See an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the button.
After that, quit and your in the OS X install screen, select the boot volume and click Install, this will overwrite OS X 10.6 with a fresh copy.
Quit and restart, then when you log in hit Apple Menu > Software Update until clear, you should be on 10.6.8
Some third party programs may not work, you will have to reinstall them from original sources and make sure they are compliant with 10.6.8

Mac will not start. HELP!!

my 17" imac early 2006 will not start it came on yesterday with a fail screen and telling me to hold the power key to restart once i did that the cd drive was going made and no screen and the power light stays on. i have tried holding down the option key cmd+PR and this does nothing. no apple start up tune just a power light and a sound like the hard drive getting ready to start. any help would be great. wanna get fixed before my pc mates give me hard time as i always rave about macs.

Hi
It sounds like you are experiencing kernel panic, if you see that grey screen with multi languages. The cause is usually hardware, possibly RAM. Have a look at this link. It may help you.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
It mentions Tiger, but I think you could work with that.
I hope you can get things fixed before your mates come around.

3 year old Mac will not start up, help?

My 3year old Mac will not start up, just sits there and spins. Any suggestions on corrective steps?

Kurt412,
which version of OS X is installed on your MacBook Pro?

Windows will not start and cannot be reinstalled

I have a 300GB Win 7 partition on disk 2 on my Mac Pro (set up using Bootcamp) that was running fine until a few days ago. There were some "critical updates" that Windows installed, followed by a restart. Now, it simply refuses to start. When I boot into the Apple drive (disk 1), I get a message in OS X saying that the volume did not mount correctly; interestingly enough, another NTFS partition (used for data only) on drive 3 is also reported as unmountable.
I tried the following:
1. Reformatted drive 2 as one partition with Bootcamp and started a fresh installation of Windows - it failed by not allowing the Windows installer to run (hangs up after the logo).
2. Reformatted drive 2 as one partition and restored a previously good image of the drive using Winclone. It verified correctly and mounted properly in OS X (I can view the files). However after I restart and select the Windows HD to boot, it shows the green bars upon Windows start and then hangs up with a black screen.
3. Booting up with the Windows 7 Recovery disc to attempt repair. It failed with an error: unable to repair - contact Administrator.
4. Booting up with the Windows 7 Recovery disc to restore using an image created with Windows 7. The operation was successful, but the restored partition still hangs up in the same place.
In short, Windows won't start up and I can't reinstall it either!
I can't help but think there is something wrong outside of the NTFS partitions (boot partition?), somewhere in the OS X partition. Is there a "secret" Bootcamp partition/file that could be corrupted and cause this? Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

OS X has its own read-only NTFS.
Which version of OS X? and I was trying to find if you installed 3rd party NTFS driver for OS X? some don't work, and need to be upgraded too.
Mac has EFI and if you use Alt or Option it doesn't have abilty to mount or modify but it does 'peek' for valid boot volumes.
Windows 7 - normally you will have 100MB partition (with 32MB used) which is actually where/what Windows boots from.
Install of Windows w/o BCA and w/o OS X being present avoids any conflict, but very often OS X's control panel for Startup Disk won't see Windows. Boot Camp control panel in Windows though always works for seeing both.
I think just the process of setting the default OS could mess up something, and that is the only place or time.
I don't have Lion. Maybe at some point. Intrigued with Parallels 7 support too.
Some people use to have a Recovery disc instead of an installer. I assumed that was what you had rather than the one you burned. Is that WinRE? Paragon has updated theirs to WinRE 3.0.
While Windows 7 is running and updated, did you install any Apple drivers, and if so, which? is this 3.0 thru 3.3? there seems to be trouble with 3.0 and 3.3, so 3.2 seems best. If Lion then 4.0 (and with the live download the issues that another Mac Pro owner had the first week Lion came out trying to use 4.0 was just a disaster and he went back to 3.2. Lately, it 'seems' that BC 4.01 drivers in Windows are okay or safe to use. Thanks to the public testing guys! sorry had to put you through that I guess?
So between steps #2 and #3 was Boot Camp drivers installed? they are helpful but not 100% essential, but does add a timesynch and osswitcher to Windows which are. The rest of it.... iffy.
AppleHFS for Windows was buggy and one of the reasons for 3.1 and 3.2, or using Paragon HFS driver for Windows which is what I use and how I access HFS drives and works fine. And they have had a solid NTFS driver for OS X, but may want to check and Google for - some had trouble it seems, and any driver needs to be retuned for Lion or any OS update sadly.

StarSuite will not start up - help! Changed paths from one drive to another

Hi all,
I am using: StarSuite 8
On an: ASUS eePC 900
OS: Windows XP
This is my partner's computer. StarSuite 8 came with it the machine, but as yet she has not even gotten a chance to use it.
It has two hard drives:
C: drive is 4GB (with 500MG free), D: drive is 7.5GB (with 6.3GB free)
Windows, StarSuite 8, and everything else that came with the machine are all on the C: drive (the smaller one), which is why only 500MG are free (she has deleted everything else that wasn't an expensive program or the operating system; most of the 4GB is Windows XP as far as we can tell).
Previously, when she opened StarSuite 8 (swriter), when a new file would be opened, an error message appeared that said something along the lines of "Not enough disk space free" - i don't recall the exact wording.
As there where over 6 gigabytes free, we assumed the problem was that StarSuite 8 was somehow being dependant on the mostly used-up C: drive.
So i went into, i think,
Tools -> Options
...and found a section to change the paths for the folders that StarSuite 8 seemed to be saving to, drawing templates from, etc.
I found those folders on the C: drive, under "Documents and Settings", copied them (without making any changes at all), saved the copies to the D: drive, replicated the whole file path.
Then i went back to Tools -> Options and whatever that section is to change the paths. I edited them to point to the D drive rather than the C drive, to my newly created and copied-over files, the paths now looked something like this:
D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne/Application Data/StarSuite 8/User/ <all the various folders, copied exactly from it's equivalent on the C drive.
I thought if StarSuite 8 looked at the D drive instead of the C drive, it would stop bringing up the error message that kept claiming there was "insufficient disk space". The only thing i changed about any path was that the letter "C" became "D", and the default folder to which files are saved became "D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne" rather than "My Documents" (because My Documents is on the C: drive).
I then created and saved an swriter file, as a test to make sure everything was working, and it saved fine. I can still see the file sitting there under "D:Documents and Setting/Kathryne".
Anyway, my partner (Kathryne, as you can guess), just fired up her eePC, tried to open StarSuite 8 - and nothing happened. It will not open.
So she right-clicked on a .doc file, selected "Open With swriter", and it worked - the file was opened up.
But you can't do anything on it. When you hover the cursor over any of the menu buttons, it just turns into a little hourglass and does nothing. Task Manager says that it is "Not Responding", and it will stay like that for ages. It doesn't work at all. I cannot get back into the "Tools" menu to change all the file paths back to their default settings - it just won't let me.
My normal response would be to uninstall and reinstall, and just erase all the changes i've made that way. But this is an eePC - there is no optical drive on this machine, it was all pre-installed, and uninstalling StarSuite 8 would leave us with no way to get it back.
Can anybody help me, please? I had no idea changing the paths might make the program non-functional, especially as i copied all of the path folders over without making any changes to them. I thought at the worst i would be able to go back into it and change the paths back to default; and like i said, i saved a test file with it after making the changes, and it seemed to work fine. But apparently I'm an idiot.
Can anyone rescue me from this guilt?

1) - it isn't.
2) I haven't been. Tried it just then to see if anything different happened, but no.
3) It does. I justdid that, and it seems to have solved the problem.
It opened up, ultra-fast (faster than MS Office ever has...), and it generated multiple error messages (presumably to let me know that it couldn't find the files it keeps in those folders?):
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/script.xlc/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/dialog.xlc/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Kathryne/Application%Data/StarSuite8/user/basic/dialogs.xli/:
General Error.
General input/output error."
After clicking "Okay" to each error message, i typed a short sentence in the file, and successfully saved it (to the C: drive, even), without seeing any trace of the "not enough space" type messages that used to come up. And after closing the program and opening it again, i haven't seen these messages reappear.
4) I will tell let her know that it is recommended!
5) She did this last night, and has been using it in the meantime. I think she still wants StarSuite 8, but she is aware of OpenOffice.
(6) - I haven't done this, as your suggestion (3) seems to have fixed it.)
Thank-you very much for the advice and the time you spent in replying, i really appreciate this. Your suggestion seems to have fixed the problem. I am hoping that the error messages listed above won't reappear - i assume that was just the program telling me that the user folders were missing, and that it re-created them soon after? I guess similar messages will appear (and disappear) upon opening Calc and the others, as well.
The original problem - the error messages relating to disk space - has not re-appeared, i have nooo idea why, but all seems fine for now.Thank-you again for your advice! :)

Installed windows 10 hyper-v windows will not start

I went into the control panel on Windows 10 and enabled Hyper-V, Now the machine will not boot. Any ideas?

1. Which build you have installed ? 10041 or 10049.
2. If it is 10049.................
Hyper-V won't work if you try to install Hyper-V
AFTER 10049 was installed.
Hyper-V will continue to work if you already have Hyper-V
BEFORE 10049 was installed.
Excerpt :
UPDATE: You cannot enable Hyper-V on this build. If you have Hyper-V already enabled and you upgrade to this build, Hyper-V will continue to work.
http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/30/windows-10-technical-preview-build-10049-now-available/
A workaround:
If you were on 10041 before, revert back to 10041. Install Hyper-V , then upgrade back to 10049.

ITunes for Windows will not start

I recently did a complete system restore and as part of my restore, downloaded a up-to-date copy of iTunes and installed it. The problem arises when I try to start the application. I don't get a Windows error message as one might expect. Instead I get the Windows request box asking whether or not I wish to submit the problem to Microsoft. Regardless of which option I chose, the box eventually disappears but no iTunes!!
I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes as well as clearing all traces of iTunes from my registery/computer files then reinstalling but to no avail. How can I get a clean install of iTunes that will actually run??
Thanks -- Rockey
P.S. Once I get iTunes successfully installed and plug in my iPOD, will all the music on my iPOD be automatically erased?? In my recent restore I did loose all my computer-based music files.
Dell Dimension E310 Windows XP Pro

You might try the method in this article on Trouble Installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Start at: "Important: A majority of customers..."
This should allow you to completely remove the previous installation attemps.
For some reason installing the stand alone Quicktime seems to help in some cases.
iTunes can't work if Quicktime doen't run so it is important to be sure Quicktime is OK first.
Then there is this article on trouble shooting iTunes launch failures:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
The other thing is that if you done a complete Windows reinstall back to the factory settings, have you made sure you have the latest drivers and updates?
