ThinkPad T410i Windows 7 not loading - help!

I have had the machine with pre loaded windows 7 since 2010. Today I tried to recover the factory settings as it had become real slow to boot etc. Neither the thinkVantage button nor F11 while booting took me to the desired place though. Instead, the screen "Windows error recovery" came up. Now every time I click "Start windows normally" windows fail to load, I see briefly a blue screen, then back to the initial welcome screen, to the "Windows error recovery" screen and so on, vicious circle.
Any ideas please? I don't have a recovery cd.
Thanks in advance!

when you hit the "ThinkVantage" button does it display the menu to choose from BIOS, Boot device, and esc?
And do you have access to another computer and a flash drive?

Windows wil not load..it goes to the restart screen for safe/normal mode/tries to start but returns to the same screen for safe /normal mode...Help

What has happened...when starting in bootcamp, windows does not load. It goes to the restart in safe/safe with networking/normal mode. When I choose any of these windows screen comes up and the lttle blue balls start to roll. then screen goes blank as if windows is to start but goes back to the resrat in safe/etcmode. Help...

Did you burn the DVD from ISO?
Did Windows get fully installed & updated? added Apple Boot Camp after?
If you still don't have 10.6, you won't have Boot Camp 3.x drivers (and later) for Windows 7.
How large a partition did you create?
How long if at all was it working normally?
The last update, install or change made was.....?

Windows will not load on a Satellite A350 with 500GB Seagate external HDD

There is an issue with this A350-043 Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bits, part number : PSAL6C-04S015
Simply put: when connected to a SEAGATE 9NK2AL-510 500GB SATA DRIVE EXTERNAL USB (s/n: 5QG1YH1E) Windows will not load, it goes upto and freeze just prior to the green moving bars. If the USB cord is pulled out and put back in for a second, Windows continues to load normally and all is well.
Otherwise, the OS will take up to 15 minutes to load. Looking in the BIOS features, there is no option to boot from USB available, so it cannot be disabled. I have upgraded the BIOS of the Toshiba to the latest version with no change in that issue.
I have tested and confirmed that the issue persist no matter which USB port is used.
The external drive is fully fonctional and there is no errors or issues with it when Windows is loaded. I am reported this issue to Seagate as well as Toshiba in the hopes that a solution can be offered on that, but did not hear back on anything as yet.

You mean the notebook needs 15min to load the Windows OS even if the external HDD is not connected?
This sounds weird and I doubt this can be related to any software issue
First of all you should check the booting order in the BIOS the USB should be set at last or second last position.
Secondly you should check if the same issue would still persist after an new OS installation in some cases the booting procedure could be affected due to installed software and background processes.
But if the new OS installation does not help and if the issue will still persists then I assume that an hardware problem (motherboard????) could be the reason for that and therefore an notebook technician should be contacted!!!
Thats my opinion

Device Installer error - Windows could not load the installer Image.

I am windows XP and have loaded new Itunes 7.7 and the Iphone 3G I just received cannot be recognized by my PC/XP I get a dialog box saying
Device Installer Error
Windows could not load the Installer Image. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance.
OK
Of course it is not OK hence why I am here seeking help from this fine community of users of superior Apple products

Deleted Itunes, Quicktime, apple mobile support and updater. Reinstalled and it all worked. Had to do the same thing last time. NOT TOO FUN.

Can not load help information, so I can not save my work?

I have been working on this vi for about an hour.
When I try to save I ge an error that says "Can not load help information of find_resources.vi"
So it will not let me save it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi James,
That error is usually indicative that the VI is unfortunately corrupt. I'm sorry that you had to spend some time rewriting your code. I wanted to provide some information that I found in case you ran into anything like this again in the future.
If "Select All" then copying to a VI does not work, that is usually a good sign that the VI is corrupt. At that point, there is not much you can do except possibly look at the recovery VIs that LabVIEW saves. If the VI is there, you can try moving it out of the recovery directory and opening it. The location for the autosave directory varies depending on how your system is set up, but it is typically located in your Documents folder > LabVIEW Data > LVAutoSave. For more information on how LabVIEW autosave works, take a look at this KnowledgeBase article.

Windows could not load installer for daqdevice

Hello, I have 2 Labpc-1200 Daq cards installed in my Windows 200 SP4 pc. When i load NI-Daq6.9.3 and reboot, i get the following error
"Windows could not load installer for DaqDevice"
I have search the forums and support here withough luck. Here is what i have tried :
Removed all daq, labview software - rebooted reinstalled
removed all registry keys, hklm\software\niationa intruments
Updated pc to SP4
Anyone got any ideas please?

Hi Finto
I have attached a word document and a zip file the word document is a procedure for removing all NI soft ware I know you said you have done this but just to check you haven’t mist anything.
Is there any reason why you are using NI-Daq6.9.3?
There is a link in the attachments for the latest drivers which I would suggest you use them. The latest drivers for Traditional NI DAQ Legacy is 7.4.1 and the latest for DAQmx is 8.

Windows will not load or install, PLEASE HELP SOON

I turned on my computer today and it said:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I restarted and it worked fine.
I then turned it on again later, and got the same message.
After re-seating the cables, cutting the power, trying to start in safe mode, etc, etc, I decided to try a repair.
The repair just got stuck when I pushed '1' for C:\WINDOWS. It just did nothing after that.
I tried to reformat. I put in the Windows XP disc and it loads up and I push F8 and it says "Searching for previous installations of Windows...". It did that for about ten minutes with no HDD activity until I finally shut it off.
Could ANYONE help me with this??? I am in college, and need to use this VERY SOON. It is 8:42pm RIGHT NOW and I need help BADLY. If at all possible, I would like to re-install Windows rather than reformat as there are some very important files that I need to back up before I can do a full reformat.

You haven't said anything about your system configuration, or whether it has had previous problems. This information would be helpful.
Make sure that the boot drive is correctly indicated in the bios. If you have more than 1 hard drive, I would temporarily remove the second one (assuming the OS is on the first drive). I've noticed that Windows Repair install seems to easily get confused by the disk configuration with the Neo Platinum. This would also help if your power supply is marginal (if you diconnect the power as well).
A helpful thing to have would be a Knoppix cdrom. this is a cd bootable version of Linux that can be used to inspect your hard disk contents, and key files such as the boot.ini file etc. Also, if Knoppix runs, you can have some confidence that key system components are functional.

HP ProBook 4530s, Windows 7 64 bit Blue Screen – Windows will not load

How do I get Windows to open. I have been having trouble this past week, Windows starts to load (Starting Window), then the blue screen is dsplayed. Earlier this week I was able to use a restore point in January, and Window opened, but that restore point is not displayed now, only February restore points. Below are the various error messages I received this week.

So pressing the power button and then immediately tapping the F8 key about every half second does not start Safe Mode?
Safe mode will allow you to access Windows system restore, which will allow you to recover to a restore point dated before you had this problem without deleting any of your data. System restore is also reversible.
That is a bit surprising. The test you posted the results of show that the memory and the hard disk are fine, so it is an operating system issue. If you try again to access safe mode without success then you only have a few options.
1) remove the disk from the notebook and put it in an enclosure to copy the data and files you have it to another PC
2) perform a factory image recovery to recover your notebook to a useable condition (unfortunately deleting all of your personal files and data)

Windows will not load up

I installed the latest firefox update, was working for a few minutes, and then the computer froze up. I restarted my computer but windows won't load up, either in safe mode or normal mode. Startup repair won't load either, it just cycles back to the error recovery page. My laptop is in a coma because of the firefox update. What is the fix?

ERROR: PROP RES DLL NOT LOADED, help

hi i get this message when i try to open an image in photoshop.. it says error: prop res dll not loaded
does anyone have any idea what this means and how i can dodge it?

well when i open photoshop and try to open an image thats what it does.. it gives me that exact error.. i try and close the box and basically photoshop freezes and i have to start task manager to end it..
i searched dll on google and all i found was people with the same problems.. only there's were in microsoft office..
it's a free copy someone gave me so i'm thinking maybe it has something to do with copyright crap? she also gave me dreamweaver and i have no problems with that so i'm not really inclined to think that is the problem..

Windows Vista not loading IPOD in itunes or explorer HELP!!!

Family just purchased a new HP pavillion w/ vista. I, myself, have a mac - i am LOST! We installed the latest ITUNES and checked all the drivers and every other option suggested online. We just can't get the ipod to be recognized on vista. The ipod is updated to the current version everything seems in running order. The ipod is recognized on Windows XP just not vista.
PLEASE HELP

After System Restore windows programs not loading, and other issues!

To preface this I have no interest in keeping vista on here I have a CD with windows7 setup on it that I would like to install either on a new partition or over the exsisting one but no clue how to do this right, and when I tried booting up from the CD it gave me an error, so I can't do the setup that way, however I did get a version of windows xp (hiren's minixp) to boot from a thumbdrive, however I could not get my wireless internet to work on it. however thru ethernet it did, but need wifi!) I need a computer for tomorrow morning for my new job orientation is done thru a website and I need a computer to use at thehotel (im out of town) so its not an option taking it to a repair shop tomorrow (its sunday and all), or sending back to lenovo plus its outta warranty.
Help! I am very novice at best with techy stuff so I will try to explain this the best that I can. I've had a lenovo N500 Laptop running Vista Home Edition for a couple years now. It did not come with any recover cd's or anything like that. It was starting to run slow, so I figured I'd do the old trusty Factory Restore and start fresh, always did the trick on other computers I owned with windows. Well I went through the whole process of restoring it, and did the initial system setup and naming. When it loaded my desktop for the first time it was all downhill from there. There is no IE installed, no default programs would open, instead I got this error message (example when opening Windows Mail).
C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe
The specified path does not exsist.
Check the patch, and then try again.
It does this for every program. Here's the thing the only C:\ Drive that shows up is assigned to removable disk. Here are the current labels for my default Drives.
Lenovo(Q
ServiceV003(S
SW_Preload(D
So I think the issues possibly that when it was reformatted it labeled the drive a different letter, so it's trying to pull the files from the C drive as a path,. but it needs to be q or s or d or something. Keep in mind this is my very novice theory.

for wireless issue:
have you checked device managemer for unknown/non-installed devices? you may need to install drivers for your adapters.
try to press f8 when you see lenovo logo, then load "safe mode with networking", check if the adapters work.
can you tell us what error you got when you tried to install win7? also, some of applications doesn't come with preloaded systems so you need to install them later ( as windows mail, msn messenger )
