Satellite L660-106 with Windows 7 has stopped booting up

My L660 was on for a long time yesterday during which it downloaded some Windows updates.
This morning it would not boot up. Unfortunately I have not prepared recovery disks and do not have the Windows 7 disk as the computer was purchased with the system pre-installed.
What can I do to get it working again?

Another suggestion:
Assuming there's no hardware failure here, normally if a startup problem is detected Windows 7 would run 'Startup Repair' automatically and try to fix the problem.
In this case it's failed but there's still another way to do it.
If you can get hold of a Windows 7 installation disk you can use it to manually start 'startup repair' and then it will try to fix it.

  • Flash Player integrated with Windows 8 has stopped working...can't seem to upgrade to newer version Flash Player ?

    One day watched videos with no problem.  Next day, can't watch videos!  Site says I need Flash 10.0 or higher.  When I try to check what version I have, it says that Flash player is integrated with Windows 8, no need to install Flash Player.  I am thinking that there are newer versions of Flash Player than what is integrated with Windows 8, but it's like I'm going around in circles, can't seem to upgrade to a newer version.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Windows 7 has stopped booting and so has the recovery disk

    A few days ago by 2011 MBP 15" stopped booting in Windows. (Please help with any suggestions because all my works on the windows side)
    Holding down the option key while during switch-on brings up the normal choice of disks to boot from, Mac/Windows(7)/recovery 10.8.2. Mac OS 10.8.2 works OK and I can see and look at the bootcamp/windows drive in finder. However when I restart and click on the WIndows drive nothing happens for 5 minutes and then it boots into Mac OS.
    I've got a Windows recovery disk/DVD I produced awhile ago and have attempted to use that, however that hangs in the same way as booting to Windows.
    If I access Mac OS disk utilities in Recovery 10.8.2 both the Bootcamp drive and the windows recovery DVD are listed as 'bootable = no'  which explains the problem. How do I fix it please?
    It's all worked well until afew days ago. As far as I remember I've not changed any settings or done any software updates. What's happened?  Thanks for any help suggested.

    Found a work round but not a fix
    While I've not found a fix to the boot problem but I've come across a work round.
    On another forum it was suggest installing the trial version of VMWare fusion. It worked with a little fiddling around and is a temporary solution for 30 days on a free trial.
    If you have any ideas, please help with the original problem. Why did it stop working and how do I fix it. I'm not keen on using VMWare as it costs. Thanks

  • "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up.  First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
    her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally.  I got her a new  internal DVD burner and it worked for a while.   during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away.    Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
    launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it.   Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working".   No matter what I click the error
    keeps looping.  No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating.   I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
    I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix.   I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system.   To no succcess.
    At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that.  For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing.   When I finished updating  driverss though the error  came back.
    Please Help  as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Windows 7 Error Message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error.... Followed by Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working

    I am running a system that is not quite 6 months old, which is loaded with Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit. 
    The error message that I get is as follows: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library.  Runtime error!  Program C:\windows\Explorer.exe.  This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the
    application's support team for more information.
    Once I respond to that message, I get a message that says "Windows Explorer has stopped working.  Then I get "Windows Explorer is re-starting"
    I don't know if the next event is related - today, immediately after getting the message above, I got a pop-up that said "An update to Adobe Flash Player is available" - and I am given the option of installing it or not.  Today, I did not install
    the update - although I recall having accepted this update in the past (again, I don't know if the two situations always occur together).
    Is there some help I can be provided to correct this problem?  I have looked at several related topics in this database, but have not found anything that seems to directly relate to my question. 
       Thanks!    Mark

    Hi,
    Did you try to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
    Package (x86) to check this issue?
    What about to boot the computer in safe mode and Clean Boot to test this issue?

  • I keep getting a popup that says"host process for window services has stopped"

    hp s5220f
    microsoft windows 7 home premium edeition (64 bit)
    I keep getting a popup window that says "host process for window services has stopped"
    How can I get rid of this?

    Hello tribefanz,
    Sounds like a compatiblity issue with a program and Windows 7. We need to find out what program is causing the issue though. We can do that through event viewer
    1. Click the start orb
    2. Select Control Panel
    3. System and Security
    4. Under Administrative Tools select the Event Viewer
    In the event viewer you will want to drill down into the Application and System logs and look for anything with a Red X that says Error. Identify the program causing the problem and then we can go from there.

  • Windows Explorer has STOPPED Working

    OK, I have iTunes 8 installed, the allegedly CORRECTED version. When I start iTunes 8, I receive a message that says, "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working" and gives me two options:
    First Option - Check online for a solution and restart the program (Program being Windows Explorer).
    Second Option - Restart the Program (Program being Windows Explorer).
    Option One does not provide a solution, just restarts Windows Explorer!
    Option Two restarts Windows Explorer.

    Is anyone else having this issue with iTunes 8?

    I THINK that this is the repeated one, because I was doing it one after the other. And yes, as far as I know, everything is up to date. I'm fairly advanced when it comes to computers, but this has me boggled.

  • ITunes not working on my computer each time open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working close the program "

    Hi, I have a problem with iTunes on my computer each time when try open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working... close a program " someone can help me how fix it.

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.
