Tecra M5 - Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete splash screen appears while booting

Wondered if anyone has come across this before...
Tecra M5 boots up ok and arrives at the "Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete" splash screen... the "Help" button is permanently "selected" so as soon as I press CTRL and ALT the explanation (Help) screen comes up telling me what to do... and I can't get past that at all... I've tried attaching a USB keyboard with the same result. I need to somehow "clear" the Help button ....
Any idea's gratefully received.

Problem solved... use the Alt GR key instead... worked first time !!

BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart.

Hello there!
I'm having trouble since i formatted my t61's primary hard drive, after i did that i thought i could recover the operating system simply by using the recovery DVD's but for my surprise when i turned on the laptop to begin the recovery process this message appeared on a black screen BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart... even tho i put the 1rst recovery disc in the DVD drive. After that i tried the 2nd one which is the operating system recovery DVD and still got the same message. What can i do?? I do have an old yet functional thinkpad HDD that came with the computer with vista, R&R and the lenovo preloaded softwares in it, i don't use it anymore because i replaced it with an HD with more GB which now is (was) my primary HD but I don't have the original windows vista DVD just have the 4 recovery DVD's, one thing I'm concerned of is that if i install windows vista again from an original vista DVD then i wont be able to have all the lenovo preloaded software (productivity center, rescue and recovery and all that). PLEASE help! Thank you in advanced.

Welcome to the forums
If you have an original Vista DVD you can try to repair the bootmanager of your laptop.MIcrosoft has 4 resolutions for this try them

Is this a BootCamp or VM?

Firefox needs to close and I can't load Firefox until I close it or reboot. Firefox appears not to be running and is not listed when I press "Ctrl-alt-delete."

Message says that Firefox needs to close. It does not appear to be running even when the "Taskmaster" (Ctrl-alt-delete) is displayed. The message says to close Firefox or reboot my computer. It happens constantly, even though I have closed Firefox, already. It appears to happen most often when I reach a page that refuses to respond to any mouse clicks, although, I can close the page (x). I, then, I cannot open Firefox until I reboot.

Disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE when log in xp T60

I have T60 and i just installed lenovo xp again, and every time i log in XP i need to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, how i can get this uncomfortable think off?
I just want to sing by my fingerprint

You have to install the Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software, then configure it to act as the logn provider.
Remember, you can also set Single Sign On and enroll your prints then configure those speicifc fingers to allow BIOS logon and assuming you are starting thes ystesm ffom a cold boot, use the finger at bios, sit back and watch it logon to windows
IF YOU ARE HI SEC MODE / POSSIBLY EVERY OTHER MODE TOO AND YOU JUST RESTART FROM ONE WINDOWS SESSION TO ANOTTHER W/O POWERING OFF.... SSO doesn't apply and you will have to swipe at Windows logon.
A TIP, if a Thinkpad is configured for BIOS logon and the ThinkVantage Fingerprint software is removed or the entire OS is reinstalled....you can still makeshift a SSO:
1. Most likely, the thinkpad will preserve your BIOS biometric finerprint logon settings
2. Avoid resintalling the Thinkvantage finter software and use tweakui to set the Windows Autologn function. Since you've successfully used your fignerprint to start the laptop, it is still as secure as it would be if you had Windows Thinkvantage Finger soft installed but your SSO is now Windows provided but the user experience is the same and just as fast.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete on Java Forte

Please help, I Installed Java forte on top of Window 2000, I compiled my java and take a break by locking out the window (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and the whole system is scratched. Any clues???? Thanks

Forgive me for replying to such an old posting, but it is one of the first results in google for "bootcamp ctrl alt delete"
If you're stuck at the windows login screen, press the Apple key + U then activate the onscreen keyboard to click Ctrl Alt Delete.
Once you've done that, besure to install the Bootcamp software in Windows. After that, Ctrl / Alt / delete (backspace) will work.

Try to run the tests below

If it passes then call Hp and let them know that the F11 recovery is not working and you would like to get recovery Disks they will send you the OS disks so that you can reinstall the OS back on to your unit.
Hope this helps.

Revolve 810 G1 Unlock Computer when in Tablet Mode. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows Security Button

1. I have an Revolve 810 G1
Running Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
When I change the screen to Tablet Mode
(Folding tablet over keyboard and using as tablet).
I lock my computer.
2. What to know how to unlock without having to Open back up and use the CTL-Alt-DEL keys.
When Locked screen shows: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or use the Windows Security Button to unlock this computer.
I would like to use the Windows Button on the bottom of the screen
(One Used in Windows 8 to change between Desktop and Metro) to Unlock screen And bring up on screen keyboard to put in my password.
This is probably how it should work, but it does not work.
Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard via the blue power button On the screen to Ease Of Access does not work.
The CLT-ALT-DEL on the on screen keyboard will not unlock the screen.
P.S.
Where is that Windows Security Button when you need it?
Thanks,
Rog

If you are using Windows 7 (not Windows 8), you should be able to touch the Ease of Access button at the lower left of the screen, then select Type without the keyboard (On-screen keyboard). When the on-screen keyboard pops-up, press CTRL, then ALT, then DEL. You should get a password prompt; the on-screen keyboard will stay visible unless and until you close it.

Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)

Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

Error message NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart

Hello,
I am extremely embarrassed to admit the following and ridiculously angry with myself for doing something as totally stupid as I did, but it is done now..sigh..
I have the NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart nightmare error.
This is how it happened. I need(ed) to reformat my hard drive, but first I was going to back up everything. I back up every so often, though, now I know not near as often as I should!. (last back up was 5/21/07 sigh.) Well, not thinking, instead of backing up, I put the restore cd in the drive and the screen came up saying: "loading ramdisk" then I got to the next screen which basically was asking if I wanted to restore out of the box or not. I chose the first step in the wizard which said out of the box. Then I clicked NEXT and realized I had not backed up my files!! So I cancelled out of the restore cd wizard.
When I restarted the computer, I got the aforementioned nightmare error.
I have been researching for many, many hours on how to fix it or at least be able to boot into windows. I've done the following:
1. created a floppy boot disk with ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini on it to restore I have all but I don't know if the dates mean anything on the ones downloaded from another laptop
this did not work I still came up with the same error or some other errors one pointing to hal\something. i am not sure if it is my boot.ini that is causing the problem or what. Oh, by the way, I went into the BIOS and made sure that the computer booted up to FDD first when trying the floppy option.

Hi
Its a very stupid and tricky situation.
The simplest solution would be the HDD formatting and new reinstallation of the OS.
But it seems you want to rescue all the files available on the HDD.
Hopefully its not too late
Hmmm. I think youve got only one chance!!! You have to remove the internal HDD from the notebook and try to connect it to second PC via external USB controller!!!!
Such part is not expensive and can be ordered from every notebook dealer.
You should be able to get the access to the HDD removed from notebook....
After this procedure the HDD should be formatted in NTFS and all partition should be erased!
Then you should try to start the installation procedure from the Windows or Recovery CD.
By the way; I have investigate a little bit in the Microsoft database and found these both documents:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314057
Maybe some hints described in these documents could be useful.
Good luck

Ctrl Alt Delete

Some times the Computer freezes, but I can still use the mouse. I have tried wating for the processor to catch up but that does not seam to be the issue. When the freeze acures The Ctrl-Alt-Delete menue will not appear. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button for an unsafe shutdown. I have ran a virus scan and come up with nothing. What should I do when this problem acures. Could it be a problem with the OS? I am at a total loss. please help.

Try turning off your computer then restarting it with the little One Key button next to the power button. If some windows files are corrupt, they will be fixed by this. You just have to follow the instructions on screen.

Weird tty console problem if I leave X (e g I press ctrl+alt+F1)

Hello,
I have a weird problem with my console. When I leave Xorg, by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 for example to get to a console, the console is a horrible mess. It is a working console, but it looks so terrible you cannot recognize a single character. Little multi-colored squares are all around the screen and some are blinking representing the cursor. The conosle however, still works as I can blindly type things like top and press enter and watch the squares dance as top runs.
Anyone heard of this problem before?
Thanks and sorry for posting so much in the forums,

Yeah I believe it is a bug with the nvidia driver for that card.(Maybe others?)
I switched to the nv driver and the problem hasn't come back.

Ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP. Where is Pause button?

How to do the ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP?
Where can I find the Pause button you see on regular keyboard?

Search the Discussion Board using "ctrlaltdel" as the string. There are a number of possible solutions posted, including key remappers and external keyboards. kierrep posted the following answer earlier this month, and the questioner gave the post a star:
Try "input remapper" instead:
http://www.olofsson.info/
this programm is amazing for windows on a mac!
-it enables the fn-keys (for display brightnes and volume)
-the right click is the second enter key on your key board
-fn-eject works like print screen
-for contorl-alt-delte: fn-ctrl-alt-backspace (of course: delete = fn-backspace)
Just an advice: if you have problems or questions about boot camp, try http://forum.onmac.net/
It is a nice forum and almost every question has already been discussed there. Just use the search function.
