No display when windows boots

ive installed windows 7 64 bit using boot camp on my macbook air (early 2011).
Everything installed and booted normally until I installed the boot camp drivers. After the next reboot I just get a blank screen. Windows loads but at the point you would get "ctl alt del" to logon the screen fades to black.
If I boot to safe mode in windows I can remove the nvidia drivers and reboot and Windows will load, albeit with crappy gfx.
Any ideas why this might be?
Olly

I am not using the very very latest, but I do keep my 8800GT driver somewhat current with Nvidia, also Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and never an issue.
I'd say fine if you just uninstall and go back, not that uncommon. I 'd be worried though the 8800 could be dying too.
I said "pass" on Apple Boot Camp 3.3 - what does it fix? add? they don't and won't say. At least Intel patches and updates, and Microsoft are more forthcoming. So could very well be, and lack of testing on enough platform configurations sadly.
Might also want to uninstall (Nvidia allows custom clean install of drivers, or uninstall program, while others have had to use latest Driver Sweeper 3 at times).

How do you switch iMac 27" display when in Boot Camp (Windows 7)?

Hello,
My 27" iMac works great as an external display as long as the iMac is booted into OS X and I hit command-F2.
When I boot my iMac into Boot Camp (Windows 7) however, hitting command-F2 doesn't work to use my iMac as an external display.
Is there any way to get the 27" iMac to enter external display mode if you have booted it into Windows 7 rather than OS X?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, 64bit Win7 Home Ed. loaded with all the recent updates including a Bootcamp patch from last week.
I posted on 9/2/10 and haven't gotten a reply. Did a lot of Google searching but only found it is a problem many have, but that no "real" solution is available.
Since I have had issues in Win7 after it crashes this way and after on/off (unlike you), I'm not willing to mess with it anymore.
I doubt Microsoft will commit to fixing this and it's not likely to be a top priority for Apple.

How to stop Oracle 10g DB automatically start up when Windows boots/reboots

With Oracle 9i, I could set Oracle DB manually start so it would not start when Windows OS was booted/rebooted. This was done through setting Control Panel -> Admin tools -> Services -> Oracle9iMyDB's Startup type to "Manual".
Now I have 10g installed, same setting does not prevent 10g DB start up at Windows boots.
I have Windows 2000 now for 10g and past for 9i.
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a registry entry that looks like
ORA_<SID>_AUTOSTART that is set to the value 'TRUE'?

OC4J start when windows boots

I wanna start OC4J Instance as a serviec when windows starts, does anyone have any idea how i can do that. Thanks for ur help

We are using Service+ from nicoware.net to run OC4J as a service.
It works very well. I think it is written with OC4J in mind, because one of the example files covers how you can use Service+ to run OC4J.
They have a full functional demo version available for download at http://nicoware.net/software/download.php

Connecting MacBook through external display in Windows Boot Camp partition

Hello everyone! I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my MacBook 320GB. My Mac Partition of the drive works perfect, and connects through Mini DVI-Video through composite cables and into my T.V. When I tried this in Windows, I had no luck whatsoever. yes, all the drivers are installed for my chipset, processor, keyboard, etc. Windows is updated as well through Microsoft, But not through the Apple Software Update because the download failed again to the Boot Camp update. How do I connect an external display(ex. Projector, T.V., anything that has composite input)? Yes, I know some of you will say, "Your first mistake was buying Vista", but thats not the problem here. Windows Vista works perfectly. When you connect an external display, it re-adjusts its screen resolution but does not appear on the external monitor. Is the Boot Camp Update the solution? Please Help!!!
That was a lot of writing!

I am using Vista on Macbook and when I connect my PC to my TV, lot of times, it hangs on me and a blue screen shows up with some errors and then it shut downs. I atleast do this 2-3 times and then finally it gets connected but there has to be a way where we can easily connect to TV without any issues. Any help guys?
Also I have noticed, my resolution on TV when I connect my macbook is 1900 x 1260 something... Is this related to resolutions?

Bootcamp trouble, only one partition shows when windows boots

I recieved my macbook pro today and I am having trouble trying to install windows xp with bootcamp. I create a partition with bootcamp and insert the install disk. The blue screen for windows appears and asks me which partition to choose. There is only one partition that has 131000 MB. This isnt the amount I asked for.
I followed every step. I even found out that other people are having the same problem as me on other forums and I havn't seen a solution yet. Please help me!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
such 'behaviour' usually is a hint that your Windows XP does not include the SP2 (Service Pack 2) or later, but is a SP1 or earlier.
Check the label of the CD for mentioning of SP2.
If SP1 you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to make yourself a XP SP2 Installation CD.
XP SP2 or later is a must for BootCamp to work.

ITunes 11 will not load properly when Windows 7 starts

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Windows 7 64bit, iTunes 11. I successfully ran iTunes 10 on this PC previously.
iTunes is configured to launch when Windows boots. What happens is that it does start, and then the 'Checking iTunes Library' message appears for a few seconds. iTunes appears on the Task Bar during this period. The 'Checking.." message disappears, and then so does the icon in the Task Bar.
When I check Task Manager iTunes appears on the Processes tab in the Image Name list as: iTunes.exe *32, so it is loading, but there is no GUI interface available.
If I kill the task manually, and then start iTunes from the shortcut everything works fine.
Here is what I have tried to do to resolve this:
1) run msconfig and disabled Apple Push
2) removed and reinstalled Apple Quicktime (after downloading latest version)
3) unchecking all other start processes in msconfig to see if iTunes would load (it did not)
I have not found other suggestions so I figured I should post this and see if anyone else has some advice on how to get iTunes to load properly when I boot my computer.
Here are some details on the computer:
MB - Asus PZ77-VPro
CPU - i7-3770K @ 3.5GHz
RAM - 32 GB
VC - nVidia GForce GTX-670
C: HD - 120 GB solid state drive (this is where itunes is intalled)
E: HD - 2GB Raid 0 (this is where the itunes database has been installed)
I would appreciate your help after a morning of unsuccessful troubleshooting.
Thanks,
James

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Hi Emma,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your Thunderbolt display is just showing a black screen when you boot your computer. The following article should be of help in troubleshooting your display.

Screen resolution when PXE boot from WDS vs Install Windows 8.1 from USB

Hi all
I own a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, X230 Tablet, and now have my hands on a T440. All three machines have UEFI Secure Boot enabled properly, i.e. Windows boot screen shows Lenovo logo instead of Windows logo.
However, if I do a PXE boot (using Windows Deployment Services from Windows Server 2012, not R2) and boot to the same boot.wim provided on a Windows 8.1 ISO image, the boot screen resolution turns crap, and the WinPE environment runs in 640x480. Also, as opposed
to the Lenovo logo showing on the boot screen, the Windows logo shows up instead, indicating it's not doing a secure boot?
When booting from a USB stick however, using the same Windows 8.1 boot.wim (copied from ISO), the screen resolution in Windows Setup is detected correctly, and the Lenovo logo shows up.
This occurs on all three machines since MDT was upgraded to MDT 2013 or when I replaced Windows 8 boot.wim with Windows 8.1 boot.wim (as the Windows ADK 8 --> ADK 8.1).
Is there a fix for this? Do others have the same problem elsewhere?
Many thanks

Hi,
When boot UEFI-based computer from PXE you should take more into consideration.
For some computers, you might have to perform additional steps to make sure that Windows is installed in UEFI mode, and not in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.
Some computers might support UEFI. However, they do not support a PXE-initiated boot when in UEFI mode.
How to Create a PXE-Initiated Windows 8 Deployment for UEFI-Based or BIOS-Based Computers in Configuration Manager
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj938037.aspx
Especially for “Pre-Deployment Considerations”
If you still cannot find a way to make it boot from UEFI mode, you should contact with manufacture to confirm if PXE-initiated boot is supported.
Hope this helps.

No screen displayed when booting with options key held down

When I hold the option key down to select which OS I want to boot into I am getting nothing displayed on the screen but the booting has paused waiting for my input because I can use the cursor keys and return to get the system to boot.
Anyone got any ideas as to why I cant see the choices?
Thanks
Gary

Just a quick follow up on this problem. I have just tried the Mac Mini on my TV using the HDMI port and I get the boot menu displayed when holding down the Option Key and it works fine. The issues are arising when I plug a VGA adaptor into the mini display port and use that with my monitor. The monitor is not reporting any out of range or sync signals while booting and I have tried 3 different monitors of various ages and all have the same result.
I also get no apple logo or any display while OSX is loading when I use the monitor

Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 7 / IE 9 / RH10

We recently upgraded our library from RH8 to RH10. Also used a trial version of RH9 in this process. Now when we compile several of the projects have issues where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around). Anyone else having this problem?? I saw something similiar for Windows8/IE10, but the fix does not apply here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5138909#5138909#5138909).

Hi,
I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.
Let’s start over.
We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
"Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
          No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page.
Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
          Yes, without success.
Are you using any redirects?
          Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.”
          I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
Thanks April

Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server

Hi All
I am getting error -36 when I tried to copy any file or folder from windows server
"Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server"
Even the file info is zero KB, while from other MAC machine it is right size.

You shouldn't get the same error when you are doing it from Terminal. The error should be a little different. I just did a test. Is this a Microsoft 2003 server, 2000 or NT4 you are connecting to? Your post isn't specific. Make sure the System Preferences:Network:Advanced:WINS tab is filled in with the domain you are connecting to next to the "Workgroup" name. The WINS server should already be filled in. Open the connect window with command K. Type domainname\username for the login and then the password. If you don't want to enter the domain each time you will need to add the domain in the Applications:Utilities:Directory Uitility application.
If you are trying to connect to a Windows XP client box, the machine will automatically try to authenticate with the guest account not the username and password you are using even when "registered user" is ticked. You have to edit the registry to change this default. If the username from the Windows PC is the same as the user logon then this is why the PC is able to connect and the mac is not.
