I unistalled roxio backontrack from my hp mini, thinking I didn't need it, and now it won't start.

I have a HP mini 110. I've had it for a couple of years and it started saying that I didn't have enough disk space, so I went to the Add/Remove programs and started deleting stuff I had downloaded and didn't need (not important things, just stuff like games). Then I came across Roxio Backontrack. It was taking up a lot of room and it said that I rarely used it and the last time I had used it was in 2009 (three years ago), so I googled it and people on the interenet said I didn't need it. So I unistalled it. My computer had to restart, and when starting it again, it wouldn't boot (or start, whatever). It would show the screen where it asked if i wanted to start normally, go through safe mode, or start at the last good configuration. Well, I tried the first two and it would show a whole bunch of white numbers on a black screen, it just sat there forever, I couldn;t click or anything. Then I restarted, clicked on 'last good configuration' and it started loading windows, but stopped and just had a black screen and sat there (it was a black screen that was lit, so it wasn't off, it was just black with no mouse and no movement). It didn't even get to the screen where I typed in my password to open my account. I also tried pushing the f2 and f12 and that didn't do anything either.
So, my question is: What happened to it and what do I do?

I have encountered the same exact problem! I have tried EVERYTHING, including what potent has suggested.
It won't let me do anything. How do I do a factory reset when I can't access any funtions of the HD? When I was searching the internet for answers, it seems many HP Mini 110 owners have encountered the same situation. So I would have to say that it has SOMETHING to do with the Roxio Backontrack???? We can't all have a virus that's causing us all to have the same exact issues, can we?? Unless it has come in something that 's already pre-installed?? Has there been a resolution to this?
I know for a fact that there hasn't been anything downloaded to either of the ones that I purchased, other than Norton 360 internet security.
I bought 2 of these for my grandchildren for Christmas & I gotta say, they have been nothing but trouble from the get go & I really feel that my money was wasted on them. The only thing they have done with them is play games on Nick Jr. & PBS Kids & occasionally watch monster trucks on youtube. They don't get much chance to use them, because EVERY time they turn them on to use them, there's SOME kind of issue with them.
PLEASE help with this issue so that the money spent on this one isn't a TOTAL loss!!

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

  • I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

    I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

  • I've just upgraded to 3.6.10 from 3.6.8, and now FF won't start. It gives an error message saying platform version 1.9.2.8 is not compatible with 1.9.2.10

    Read the question!

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • Added 2x512mb RAM from Mushkin and now comp won't start

    I added two sticks to my computer to increase to 2GB and the computer started to boot and identified the 2GB then went to a gray screen and froze.  Now even after I take the two new sticks out, my computer doesn't work.  It is getting power and the HD starts working, but there is no video.  It doesn't even come up with the BIOS so I can't do any trouble shooting.  I have even reset the CMOS.  Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Quote from: Copterpilot on 23-March-07, 10:18:18
    I just tested all the RAM sticks in another computer and they are all recognized and there appears to be no problems.  I'm thinking it can only be one of three things, the motherboard, the video card (which I didn't touch whent he problem ocurred) or the digital input part of the monitor (is this possible?)  My monitor works fine with my other computer that uses analog.  I have no way of checking the DVI  or the video card itself as my 7600GT is pcie and won't work in any of my other computers.
    You have your monitor connected to DVI?  Have you tried the VGA connection?  With some monitors it's not unusual for them to lose the DVI connection - the EDID in the monitor firmware can get hosed.  With some, notably some Samsungs, you can reset it by powering the monitor on and pulling the power plug immediately, before the monitor goes to sleep.  I always have a VGA cable connected to the monitor but not actually connected to the video card... until the DVI connection gets lost - happened to me just yesterday when I uninstalled Magictune.

  • Upgrading unlocked 3GS from os3 to os6..and now it won't activate! Someone help me please!

    Hello,
    iPhone 3GS (8GB)
    Many of my apps stopped working because I was still running on operating system 4. I upgraded from os4 to os6 on my unlocked 3GS...and now it won't activate. I get the below error message:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes"
    Well, I tried with iTunes and similar error message that activation is not possible at this time. I have waited and tried many many times over the past week and it won't activated
    This 3GS phone I bought from a friend in the UK. It was locked to the carrier O2 in the UK. I had it unlocked and have been using a prepaid carrier since. I am currently studying in Spain and need help how I can fix this issue?
    The nearest Apple store is 1 hour away. I took it to a local phone technician and he said it could not be fixed. I can't believe that this is true as it is just a software problem because the hardware of the phone works perfectly.
    I would greatly appreciated if any expert out there could help me please!
    Many thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi..thanks for your advice!
    Ok, I am student so buying a new phone is not possible ;( This experience has turned me off Apple anyway! All I did was click yes to their iTunes upgrade prompt asking me if I want to update....and now I don't have a phone and can't access all my backup etc on my iTunes because it seems the only way to get to it is with another iPhone!?
    I can't believe that through the Apple recycling program I could possibly get $50 for this phone because the hardware is perfect but there is no support for this issue...feels like Apple is just trying to force everyone with hacked phone to buy new ones!

  • Upgraded to 10.4.9 from Tiger 10.4.5 and now mac won't reboot

    Hello everybody
    I bought a mac mini recently "in perfect working order" with lots of installed software and the mac engineer who sold it said it could be upgraded from 10.4.5 to 10.4.9 apple's latest. I did this last night and now it won't reboot! I get a white screen with the little wheel turning and then it switches off and gives up entirely. What can I do?

    Thanks all for your help. Yes I was hoping to use a disc for a Power PC mac mini when it's an intel. I got the disc out by holding down the mouse on startup. I contacted the seller and he says my OS has got corrupted and I can get a mac doctor to reinstall it. He never included the original OS10.4.6 when he sold it to me. It was bought as sold - does he even have the original discs one wonders. Anyway I also told him that I had originally plugged in my ipod which said it wanted iTunes updating then when I had done that a message said iTunes wouldn't work unless I updated the OS to 10.4.9. Included when I updated the software was a firmware update. So the OS has become corrupted and must be restored by a Mac authorized repairer. I hope this is possible without losing the applications already installed
    Anyway that's what I'll do and thanks everybody for all your great help

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

    Why will it not let you add them?  What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
    Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer.  There is no reason to add or import anything.

  • I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
    If no joy...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
